        One of the most inspiring quotes(名言)I ever heard was by Brian Tracy. He said: “The1between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people2many more times than unsuccessful people.”

        I deeply understood the 3 of the quote soon after my fist book was published.

        I was living in Atlanta at the time and 4 my fist signing sale for my new book at the phoenix and Dragon, the largest bookstore in the city. Although a nice sign was placed outside the room 5 images of both me and my book, The 9 Insights of the Wealthy Soul,not a single customer entered the room.6 each minute passed, I became increasingly 7.

        At 6:25 pm, just before the store's 8, I began to get myself ready to leave. At that moment, just when I couldn't fell any 9, a middle-aged couple walked into the room. I managed to 10 my emotions and introduced myself and my book.

        The couple turned the pages each other, and the husband 11 to his wife. She then told me, “I think we'll get the book.”

        Despite the impulse (冲动)to jump 12, and hold their hands to thank them for being my 13 readers, I realized the woman was trying to say something else.

         “The 14 we're buying it is that our son died two years ago,” she said. “Maybe your book will help us 15 it ”

        At that moment, I knew if never sold a copy of the book, my four years of 16 had been meaningless.

        Although I would have many more challenging years 17 my book became a bestseller, this couple's story was all the 18 I needed at that point to keep me19

        Thanks to them, I would realize that the greatest of lives are made all in the same way One challenge ... one challenge ... one difficulty ... one step ... and one small20 at a time.

        On a cold winter day, many years ago, a French art teacher named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to go to Paris. When he started his journey, he didn't know that it was the beginning of almost 40 years of accidents and near death experiences.

        During the journey, the train fell into an icy river, killing 12 passengers. Chevalier managed to swim back to the river bank. He only had a broken leg.

        Two years later, Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out. A few minutes later, the plane crashed(坠毁); 27 people were killed. Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in a haystack(干草堆).

        A few years later, he was hit by a bus, but again had no serious injuries. Then a year after that, he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a truck coming straight at him. He drove the car off the road, jumped out, landed in a tree—and watched his car fall 100 metres down the mountain.

        “There are two ways you can look at it,” Chevalier said. “I'm either the world's unluckiest man, or the world's luckiest.” When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought, he chose the “luckiest” one.

        Two years ago, aged 71, Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket(彩票) in 50 years and won more than 2 million.

        After this, a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement. At first he accepted, but then he changed his mind. Chevalier said he wouldn't fly to Los Angeles for the filming, because he didn't want to push his luck. Who knows? If he had accepted the invitation, maybe he would have had another accident. But Mr Chevalier is a lucky man. If he'd had another accident, he probably would have survived that too!

    1. (1) In the train accident many years ago, Chevalier ________.
      A . didn't get injured at all B . was lucky enough to be alive C . was finally pulled out of the river D . was the only passenger to survive
    2. (2) Why did Chevalier refuse to make the advertisement?
      A . Because he had won 2 million. B . Because he didn't want to leave home. C . Because he didn't want to risk his life. D . Because he didn't like the TV company.
    3. (3) The text mainly talks about ________.
      A . a man with nine lives B . the unluckiest man in the world C . a man who traveled around the world D . a man who earned 2 million in a lottery

        When Mark Levine, an English-language instructor at Beijing's Minzu University of China, was first invited to attend a Chinese colleague's wedding in Jiangsu Province in 2016, his second year in China, the California native was ready to present a small decorative gift for the new couple as he used to do in the United States.

        However, his gesture suddenly seemed inappropriate as he realized the Chinese at the ceremony had red envelopes filled with cash to present rather than a packed gift.

        "It's a little bit embarrassing when you present something that people didn't expect to receive on certain occasions," Levine told China Daily recently. "In the US, people do that as well but only for close relatives. People would normally give things as presents, while here in China red envelopes are more commonly welcomed."

        It was the first time that the 66-year-old had discovered the Chinese rules in gift giving. He was not alone.

        British Minister of State for Transport Baroness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen-je, mayor of Taipei, when she visited the city, immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long-held tradition in Chinese culture.

        A clock or watch, or zhong in Mandarin, represents "the end" in Chinese, and many associate it with death. Therefore, giving someone, especially an elder, a clock or watch implies "your time is up".

        Kramer later apologized for the mistake, but Ko also came under fire for his response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash.

        However, some foreigners in China stand by Ko in this particular debate, such as Mark Dreyer, a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since 2007."After all, 'don't give clocks or watches to your hosts' is on page l of most China travel guides. I'm embarrassed by the lack of respect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs beforehand."

    1. (1) What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph3 refer to?
      A . Giving cash. B . Presenting gifts. C . Receiving money. D . Attending weddings.
    2. (2) How did the public view Ko's response to the gift?
      A . They thought it appropriate. B . They believed he had no other choice. C . They considered it a smart move. D . They saw it as a rude response.
    3. (3) What was Dreyer's attitude to the British Minster's gift to Ko?
      A . Positive B . Doubtful. C . Negative. D . Supportive.

        John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.

        His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.

        During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like.

        When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting —7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You'll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen.

        I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I stared at her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way sailor?” she murmured.

        Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.

        And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify(识别)me to her.

        This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked(哽咽)by the bitterness (痛苦)of my disappointment. "I'm Lieutenant (中尉)John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"

        The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

        It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are."

    1. (1) How did John Blanchard get to know Miss Hollis Maynell?
      A . They lived in the same city B . They were both interested in literature C . John came across Hollis in a Florida library D . John knew Hollis's name from a library book
    2. (2) Hollis refused to send Blanchard a photo because_____
      A . she thought true loves is beyond appearance B . she wasn't confident about her appearance C . she was only a middle-aged woman D . she had never taken any photo before they knew
    3. (3) When Blanchard went over to greet the woman, he was_____.
      A . disappointed but well-behaved B . satisfied and confident C . annoyed and bad-mannered D . shocked but inspired
    4. (4) Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
      A . Don't Judge a Book by its Cover B . The Symbol of Rose C . Love is blind D . A Test of Love

        Here are a number of English learning tips to help you improve your English. Choose a few of them of get started today.

        Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week?

        Asking yourself this question every week will help you stop and think for a moment about what is most important to you. It is easy to focus only on the current unit, grammar exercise, etc. If you make a moment to stop of make a careful plan for each week, you will notice the progress you are making and, in turn, become more inspired by how quickly you are learning English! You will be surprised at how this feeling of success will motivate you to learn even more English.

        Quickly review important new information shortly before going to bed.

        Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By shortly(this means very quickly-just a glance at what you are working on at the moment) going over some exercise, reading, etc. before you go to sleep, your brain will work away on this information while you sleep!

        While doing exercises and alone at home or in your room, speak English aloud.

        Connect the muscles(肌肉)of your face to the information in your head. Just as understanding the basics of tennis does not make you a great tennis player, understanding grammar rules does not mean you can automatically speak English well. You need to practice the act of speaking often. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises you are doing will help connect your brain to your facial muscles and improve pronunciation and make your knowledge active.

        Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.

    In the past, I decided I needed to get fit and went jogging-usually three or four miles. Well after not having done anything for many months, those three or four miles really hurt! Needless to say, I did not go jogging for another few months!

        Learning to understand spoken English well is very similar. If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours, chances are that you will not do extra listening exercises any time soon. If, on the other hand, you start off slowly and listen on a regular basis(five to ten minutes at least four times a week), it will be easier to develop the habit of listening to English.

        Look for situations in which you must speak, read, and listen to English.

        This is probably the most important tip. You need to use English in a “real world” situation. Learning English in a classroom is important, but putting your English knowledge into practice in real situations will improve your fluency in speaking English. If you do not know of any “real life” situation, create new ones for yourself by using the Internet to listen to news, write English responses in forums, exchange emails in English with email pals, etc.

    on Learning English

    Setting a weekly

    ※By this means you will find it a great to see how much you have your English by the end of the week.

    Reviewing before going to bed

    ※While you still process information in your mind.

    Speaking as much as possible

    ※The muscles of your face have with what you have learned, for practice makes.

    Listening more often

    ※Staring off slowly and listening will help (five to ten minutes at least four times a week rather than once two hours a week), for one meal won't makes a fat man.

     English in real

    situations

    ※Catching every  to put what you have learned into practice is a good idea.
