“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.” I believe it is a normal thought in today’s society to just let life happen to us. I also believe that we sometimes destroy our well-planned thoughts about success because it’s easier to just continue as usual rather than “try” with the possible failure in mind.
Most people never get moving because they don’t know what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, it’s really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your attention may soon disappear and you give up before too long.
Why not consider what’s really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you’ve taken .You’ll soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be going towards.
Knowledge is useless without action. You read many books but your life will stay the same if you don’t use the knowledge. Knowledge is fantastic but it will not change your life until it is used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude towards my life , but I also realize that if I don’t set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.
Do you want know who you are? Don’t ask, Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits(限制）we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think. It is what we experience when we behave according to the thoughts we have.What will happen if you have the possible failure in your mind?
| A．You will destroy your well-planned thoughts about success. |
| B．You’ll have great pressure and try not to make any mistakes. |
| C．You will try your best and come up with a much better plan, |
| D．You’ll put all the opportunities to good use to try your plan. |
In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to .
| A．tell us what people need to get success |
| B．show us what people set in their mind |
| C．talk about why people should practice |
| D．explain why people stop going ahead |

Blind imitation(模仿）is destroying yourself. To common people, imitation appears attractive; to creative people ,imitation is misleading.
In the early stages of skill or character(性格）development, imitation is helpful, When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and really cooked some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why did I have to follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models(榜样） is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle. They help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without depending on them.
In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we hold poor role models. As a child, if you watched people whose lives pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you’ll get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment, our culture appreciates famous people. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be awful. If you are going to follow someone, concentrate on their talent, not their bad character or behaviors.
People like the person who is willing to act on their sudden inspiration to create something particular. Think of the things and people that have affected you most deeply. They moved you because their creations were caused by inspiration, not desperation(绝望）. The world is changed not by those who do similar work before them but by those who do creative work. Creative people are full of new ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; It is what to do with the material to knock at the door of imagination.
Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given and leave behind what does not serve you. Then you can say, “If I have announced my success, it’s by learning lessons from my ancestors’ failure.”Imitation is useful when you
| A．know you are common |
| B．lose the balance of life |
| C．begin to learn something new |
| D．get tired of daily life |
In order not to get the bad result of imitation, we should
| A．Forget daily fear and pain |
| B．choose the right example |
| C．ask others for decisions |
| D．stay away from stars |
The author thinks the world moves on because of those who
| A．turn their original ideas into real things |
| B．influence others with their knowledge |
| C．discover what their ancestors did |
| D．put different materials to good use |
The trouble a creator faces is
| A．what to learn from other people |
| B．how to affect other people deeply |
| C．how to search for more materials |
| D．how to use imagination creatively |
What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
| A．To compare imitation with creation. |
| B．To criticize the characters of role models. |
| C．To sow the importance of creativity. |
| D．To explain the ways of achieving success. |
Many of us have been troubled by junk mail or phone calls from salespeople. We are especially that our personal information has been leaked(泄露）。

Making laws to protect personal information and stop junk electronic information is in other countries .Nearly 100 countries have such laws, including the US, the UK and Japan.
