History of Newspaper C On the first day of the 11th grade, our new math teacher Mr Washington asked me to go to the blackboard to do a math problem. I told him that I couldn’t do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because I’m educable mentally retarded (可教育智能迟滞).” ‎ ‎ He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Don’t ever say that again. Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said. ‎ ‎ It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again.‎ ‎ But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said, “You have greatness within you.” ‎ ‎ One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?” ‎ ‎ He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.” ‎ ‎ “But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? I’m slower than most kids.” ‎ ‎ “It doesn’t matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades don’t determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.” ‎ ‎ “I want to buy my mother a house.” ‎ ‎ “It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away. ‎ ‎ “Mr Washington?” ‎ ‎ “What do you want now?” ‎ ‎ “Uh, I’m the one, sir. One day you’re going to hear my name. I’m the one, sir.” ‎ ‎ School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life.‎ ‎ Years later, I produced five programs on public television. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?” ‎ ‎ “Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?”‎ ‎ “Yes, it’s me. You were the one, weren’t you?” ‎ ‎ “Yes, sir, I was.”‎ ‎……‎ ‎28. What does Mr Washington mean by saying “Someone’s opinion of you does not have to become your reality”? ‎ A. You needn’t have the same opinion as others.‎ B. What other people say about you may not be correct..‎ C. You should believe what other people say.‎ D. The doctor made a mistake.‎ ‎29. How many years did it take the author to finish the tenth grade? ‎ A. Ten years. B. Eleven years. C. Twelve years. D. Thirteen years.‎ ‎30. What happened to the author at last? ‎ A. He entered a good university. B. He earned much honor.‎ C. He got a good job. D. He made television programs.‎ ‎31. In the passage, the author implies that _________. ‎ A. people shouldn’t believe what doctors say ‎ B. no one can be successful with hard work and confidence ‎ C. a good teacher can change a student’s life D. no one is really educable mentally retarded. ‎ D ‎  Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.‎ However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then graduallymake it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really goodat something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.‎ ‎  This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.‎ ‎  When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.‎ ‎   Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(沉迷), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.‎ ‎32.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _____. A. the importance of success. B.the meaning of success C.the standards of success D.the reasons for success ‎33.In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to _____. A. succeeding in life B.setting a practical goal C.putting in more time D.being good at something.‎ ‎34.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____. A.work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work ‎ C.one gives up his work easily D.it takes a lot of time to succeed 35.What is the main theme of the passage? A. Having a goal is vital to success. B. One cannot succeed without time and practice. C. Being good is different from being great.. D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Four Habits to Help You Succeed We all want to succeed, whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar.

Some suggest that opportunities are rare, and they are available only to lucky people. Actually, our society is full of opportunities equal to everyone, and you can obtain them if you are well prepared instead of letting the opportunity take the blame for your failure.‎ As far as I am concerned, in a certain sense everyone has opportunities from time to time. For instance, my father worked as a worker in a factory twenty years ago. He kept on working hard at English ever since he graduated from high school. One day a post for an interpreter was offered, and only he could fill it due to his good English. Later he became a manager. This reminds me of the proverb, “Opportunities are only for the prepared minds.” If an opportunity comes your way, do not let it slip anyway.‎
