Some people succeed（成功）, while others may not. This is because some people have certain qualities, which others do not.
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must be optimistic（乐观）. If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as people who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation（动机） is a key to getting success. If you do not have an aim, then you won’t work hard and put your performance under the microscope（显微镜） to make sure that every detail is right.
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.
Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have got success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, who have got amazing success in their areas of business.
Practicing is equally important if you want to be successful because practice makes perfect. Practise every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more responsibility（责任）. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently.
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!

Different weather makes people feel different．It influences health，intelligence and feelings．
In August，it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States．People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month．In the Northeast and the Middle West．it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times．People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March．
The weather can also influence intelligence．For example，in a 1983 report by scientists，IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came，but after the strong wind，their IQ was 10％ lower．The wind can help people have more intelligence．Very hot weather，on the other hand，can make it lower．Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August)．

There is a famous English saying“You are what you eat”，and it means what you put in your mouth will become part of you．Many experts(专家)use it to tell people it’s important to have a good eating habit．For example，too much sweet food makes a person overweight．To avoid being fat，kids are told to keep off sweet food．However，a team of American scientists have discovered something new about eating sweet food．
“When we say some people‘sweet’，we mean they are kind and friendly to us．Perhaps this word can help us learn more about people’s feelings and acts，”said Brian Meier，a scientist from the study team．“Taste is something we experience every day．What we have done is to find whether we can know someone’s character and behavior depending on their taste．”
In one of their experiments，college students were asked questions about their character—whether，for example，they were soft-hearted or not．Then they were asked to make a list of their favorite food．According to their answers，the scientists found that the students who liked sweet food were nicer．
In their another experiment，the scientists found that people who preferred sweet food such as cookies and chocolate were more willing to help other people in need，and those who ate non-sweet food such as chips weren’t．For example，people with a sweet tooth were more likely to volunteer to clean up their city，visit sick children in the hospital and so on．
The result of the experiments is that people’s helpfulness or being nice has something to do with their taste for sweet food．So eating sweet food is a useful way to make people nice and helpful．Next time，try some ice cream．The underlined word“it”refers to(指代)________．
| A．the sweet food |
| B．the eating habit |
| C．the American team |
| D．the English saying |
According to the result of the experiments，sweet food makes people________．
| A．overweight |
| B．excited |
| C．relaxed |
| D．friendly |
The scientists found that the people who preferred________were less helpful．
| A．ice cream |
| B．chocolate |
| C．chips |
| D．cookies |
It can be learnt from the passage that________．
| A．scientists asked college students questions about their future |
| B．scientists told college students not to eat sweet food |
| C．people with a sweet tooth are more willing to help others |
| D．people’s character has nothing to do with their taste |

Before the elevator was invented in the late 1800s，buildings were much smaller and lower，as people did not want to walk up and down stairs(楼梯)all day．With the invention of the elevator came high-rise buildings and skyscrapers．
Some people find elevators make them a little uncomfortable because there are many people all standing close in a small room．It is best just to relax and enjoy the ride．
When the elevator doors open，stand aside and let everyone out before you try to get in．Even if you are in a hurry，it’s impolite to push someone so that you can get into an elevator．
Don’t stare at(盯着看)people or stand too close．Try to keep your eyes looking ahead or you could make others feel nervous or uncomfortable．
If you have to move past people to get out of the elevator，say“Excuse me，please”or“I’m sorry”rather than just push them out of the way．Others will think you’re welcome if you show some politeness．
If you are standing close to the buttons(按钮)，ask others what floors they are going to and press the buttons for them．This is considered to be polite．
