It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and presently did as he was asked to.

After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.‎ The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.‎ However, the dog came again at four o’clock. And the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.

Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.‎ First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can’t control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.‎ Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose” --- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.‎ Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.‎ So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.‎ ‎63. According to the passage, to be successful, ______.‎ A. you should set up a realistic goal ‎ ‎ B. you should know your strengths and weaknesses C. you shouldn’t waste time ‎ D. you shouldn’t blame others for your failure ‎64. Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?‎ A. Taking responsibility for their life. ‎ B. Never giving up easily.‎ C. Controlling things in life.‎ D. Having a goal in life.‎ ‎65. The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “______”.‎ A. interest B. equip C. inspire D. depend ‎66. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ______.‎ A. share the key to success with readers ‎ B. explain the exact meaning of success C. tell his experience of achieving success ‎ D. encourage readers to learn from failure D Junelle Lynch knocked on more than 200 doors in the Gayln Manor neighborhood of Brunswick in recent weeks. Her aim is to collect hundreds of pounds of food for the Brunswick Food Bank.‎ ‎“I like helping people a lot，”said Junelle，who celebrated her 11th birthday in June.‎ With the support of her parents Isabella and Robert，Junelle walked along the streets with an orange grocery bag. Isabella always accompanies her daughter. Isabella helps her daughter by car，so Junelle can empty her grocery bag when it becomes heavy. Junelle's friend，Destiny Williams，helped the first night，but he didn't turn up the rest of the time.‎ Neighbor Lynda Mallory donated food to Junelle. Mallory dropped noodles，canned soup，vegetables and fruits into Junelle's bag. After visiting the last house and looking at what she collected，Junelle said she felt good about what she achieved with the help of her neighbors.‎ Working an hour a night three times per week，she has collected more than 400 pounds of canned and boxed food. This isn't the first year she's collected food. Junelle started nearly three years ago when，at 8 years old，she saw a collection box at a grocery store and decided to become involved. In her first year，she collected 80 pounds of food in the mostly undeveloped neighborhood，and 214 pounds the next year. The food helped feed many families.‎ When she isn't helping，Junelle is a straightA student who snowboards，plays the trumpet，sings with the Brunswick Chorus，plays basketball and writes poems.

Children often ask their parents to look around their room, under their bed or behind the door to check that there’s nobody there so that they can sleep in peace. The fears in real life may sometimes turn ‎ into bad dreams at night. []‎ ‎　 Children may wake up all of a sudden and start crying at night or they may insist that they should sleep with their parents. That’s why, instead of letting the children live in fear of bad dreams, parents should take action to stop their children from having bad dreams. ‎ ‎　　Bad dreams in children can be caused by a number of things. The most common one is when a child is exposed to some scary images and scenes in storybooks or cartoons. The visual influence of these scary images can last for a long time and children may start having bad dreams because of them.‎ ‎　　Research in the field shows that any traumatic (极不愉快的) event in a child’s life can lead to bad dreams. For a child, anything that makes him cry can be traumatic and thus can be dreamed about. If the child has been given injections, if he has ever been left behind or left alone by the family, or if he has just started going to school — all these things, which may seem less serious to adults, can actually cause bad dreams. ‎ ‎　　Parents whose children are experiencing bad dreams should talk to the children about dreams at first. Parents can share some of their own dreams while having breakfast to let the child know that it is normal to have them. If the dream has been really scary, parents can tell a story and turn it into something positive or funny. ‎ Parents should ask the child if he is having some problems at school or if anyone is trying to frighten him. Basically, the idea is to create a safe environment for the child to live in. Before sleeping, reminding the child of some good and happy things that he will do next morning will help him sleep in a positive mode and thus, can prevent bad dreams.‎ Having the children maintain the same sleeping patterns matters. There are some other things that parents can do to stop bad dreams in children, such as making them sleep and wake up in a regular way, leaving the light on in their room while they are sleeping, reading them a nice bedtime story, or making them pray before sleeping to calm their mind.‎ Title Bad dreams in children Introduction ‎* It is quite common for children to (71) ______ bad dreams because of the fears in real life.‎ ‎* Some children cannot sleep (72) ______.‎ ‎* Some children wake up (73) ______ at night and start crying.‎ ‎* Children may insist on (74) ______ with their parents.‎ ‎(75) ______ for bad dreams in children ‎* Some images and scenes that (76) ______ children ‎* Some traumatic events in their daily life ‎(77) ______ to stop　children from having bad dreams ‎* Talk to children and help them (78) ______ about dreams.‎ ‎* Turn bad dreams into positive or funny ones by making up stories. ‎ ‎* Help children solve their problems and give them a safe living (79) ______.‎ ‎* Remind children about some good things they will do next morning. ‎ ‎* Maintain the same sleeping patterns.‎ ‎* Make children sleep and wake up (80) ______， leave the light on, etc.‎ 第五部分：单词拼写(10分)‎ ‎81.
