Do you think hard work can make anything possible? If you don’t, you may want to read the book We Can Do written by Moshe Kai Cavalin. It might change your mind.
Moshe Kai Cavalin is a 14-year-old American boy. He is about to graduate from UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) this year. Before that, he had already gotten a degree (学位) from East Los Angeles Community College in 2009.
Recently, Cavalin published (出版) the book We Can Do. In this book, he talks about how to achieve things we want, by keeping yourself focused (专心的) and trying your best to do everything. He says this doesn’t need genius (天才), just hard work.
Cavalin says being called a genius “has always bothered (使烦恼) me… People need to know they don’t have to be geniuses; they just need to work hard and they can achieve anything. If I can reach the stars, others can reach the Milky Way(银河，天河）.”
The idea of writing a book came from a teacher named Richard Avila at his first college. Cavalin says Avila inspired (启发) him to write a book to explain how he succeeded, so he could inspire other people.
It took Cavalin four years to finish the book. Because his mother is Chinese, she wanted to publish the book in Chinese. So Cavalin translated the book into Chinese by himself. The book did well in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.According to the passage, we know that _____.

I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents .We are here for a holiday.

This morning we went shopping .Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry (珠宝) and clothes .My mother bought a nice necklace (项链) . My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.
Thailand is called“Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true ! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok(曼谷).the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious ,but it is sometimes a little spicy(辛辣的) for me .You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food .Our American food can also be found in Bangkok ,however ,I don’eat it, You know ,I’d like to try new things when I travel.
The weather has been very hot .Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler .But today it’s hot again.

If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.
Every year it’s the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.
Here’s a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to it.”
“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes（态度）. During World War II, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding（重建） Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”
Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything. At the end of December, people usually _______.
| A．fail to make big changes |
| B．plan for the last year |
| C．think about the new year |
| D．try to lose their ideas |
Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us _______.
| A．we should do everything in big steps |
| B．how to change one’s life with one small step |
| C．we should try a lot of sudden changes |
| D．how to find a small step without any excuse |
The underlined part “increase productivity ” in the passage means“ ”.
| A．提高生产率 | B．增加成本 |
| C．增加出口量 | D．提高待遇 |
The writer of the passage suggests we should .
| A．make changes at the end of the year |
| B．do few experiments with “kaizen” |
| C．do things with hard-to-achieve goals |
| D．take a tiny step to achieve big goals |
Which of the following is true from the passage?
| A．You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy. |
| B．Robert Maurer studied “kaizen ”and found it helpful. |
| C．You can’t find any excuse not to reach a big goal. |
