Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take massive action on a constant basis in order to succeed.‎ One of the things you'll notice on your journey towards your goal is roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles that seem to jump out of nowhere in an attempt to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success that ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you won' t experience the feeling of “sweet success”. Make your goal a challenging one!‎ If you take the time to study a successful person, you will l earn that the vast majority of them have had more “failures” than they have had “successes”. This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble,_ the more they get right back up and try again. On the other hand, people who don' t get back up and try again never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the “Happiest Place on Earth” . Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared “the joy of Disney”. Colonel Sanders spent two years driving across the United States looking for restaurants to buy his chicken recipe. He was turned down 1 009 times! How successful is Kentucky Fried Chicken today!‎ Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, and therefore find a better way to do it the next time.‎ Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency,‎ ‎ towards tomorrow's successes!‎ ‎1. The author seems to believe that ______.‎ A. challenges we come across are rewarding B. “sweet success” comes along with obstacles C. the more obstacles we have, the better we feel D. we will reach our goal by challenging ourselves 答案及解析：‎ ‎1．B。推理判断题。根据文章第二段的最后三句可知，作者认为：遇到困难挑战自己，才能体验到成 功的甜蜜。 ‎ ‎2. The reason why persistent people are successful is that ______.‎ A. they experience a lot of failures B. they are born to be very stubborn C. they have great ambitions in mind D. they don' t give up in face of failure 答案及解析：‎ ‎2．D。推理判断题。根据第三段，坚持不懈的人最终能取得成功的原因在于他们面临失败的时候，不轻言放弃，而是持之以恒向着目标努力。‎ ‎3.

Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than men: The men tested are the survivors, “so they're the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline，” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England. ‎ People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex－related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category (范畴) as possible in the given time, e．g. “object usually colored gray”， and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing. The first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by women. ‎ ‎ Within each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on average. And though performance declined ‎ with age for both genders, women showed obviously less decline than men overall. ‎ ‎6.

Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time. ‎ ‎ D. Women excel at dealing with mathematic problems. ‎ 答案及解析：‎ ‎8．B。推理判断题。男性在推理和空间思维方面占优势，女性在提取大脑中储存的记忆信息方面占优势。故答案为B。‎ ‎9. One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that ______. ‎ ‎ A. the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline ‎ ‎ B. people surveyed are all old ‎ ‎ C. people taking part in this test come from all over the world ‎ ‎ D. women live longer than men ‎ 答案及解析：‎ ‎9．A。细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知。文章只是说调查涉及老年人，但并不都是老年人，故排除B。选项D不是造成调查结果不准确的原因。‎ ‎10. The author aims to tell us that ______. ‎ ‎ A. women's minds perform better than men's ‎ B. men's minds decline more with age ‎ C. everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older ‎ ‎ D. a survey on human's mind decline was done recently 答案及解析：‎ ‎10．B。主旨理解题。根据文章第一段可知。‎
