When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. Each element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. You cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success.

Success is very much achievable to everybody. Believe that and you have taken the first step. If you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. However, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to success.

There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate control. Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activities.

What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievements. Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeed.

Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable tar gets can all play an important role.

All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. But it is up to you to get things started. Those who do not start travel nowhere. For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment.

1.56. According to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?

2.57. Why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage?

3.58. The underlined word“setbacks”（in paragraph 5）probably means ________.

4.59. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

If a person forgets names, places or facts —and has trouble with everyday things like reading or shopping —it may not mean you are getting old. It could be Alzheimer’s disease. So it’s important to see a doctor as soon as you can.

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s. But a drug called ARICEPT has been used by millions of people to help their symptoms (症状).

In studies, ARICEPT has been proved to work for Alzheimer’s. It has helped people improve their memory over time. It has also helped them to keep doing everyday things on their own.

Ask your doctor if ARICEPT is right for you or your loved one. It is the Number One drug for Alzheimer’s in the world. The sooner you know it’s Alzheimer’s, the better ARICEPT can help.

ARICEPT is good for many but may not be good for everyone. Some people may experience not sleeping well, feeling very tired, or not wanting to eat . In studies, these side effects weren’t serious at all and went away over time. Some people taking ARICEPT may feel light-headed. In this case you should tell your doctors because your condition may get worse.

English, you are so popular

English is the world language, the language of international communication in many areas of life; trade, air and sea transport, tourism and sport. New ideas in science, technology and medicine happen so quickly that it is impossible and very expensive to translate everything into different languages.71 If you want to study some subject, you need to know professional words and phrases.

English is used as a first language in countries such as Australia, Canada， Ireland, New Zealand, the USA and many of the countries in the Caribbean.72It is a way in which people who have different languages communicate with each other. This is especially true in many parts of Africa and India.

73Australian, American or Irish English has another pronunciation or stresses, so sometimes you cannot understand, although you can speak English. The USA has no official national language. English is used like a natural language by all Americans, because it is very simple. The American variety is popular between no-native speakers, too.

English is far more worldwide in its distribution(分布) than all other spoken languages. 25% to 33% of the people in the world understand and speak English to some degree. And most of them can use English freely.74

In 2001, the 189 member countries in the United Nations were asked what language they wished to use for communication with other countries. More than120 chose English, 40 selected French, and 20 wanted to use Spanish.75 However, the percentage of Internet users who are not native English speakers is increasing rapidly, especially in Asia.

E.    English is also the language particularly on the Internet.

F.    There are at least 165 languages spoken in the United States.

G.    Therefore, it is not surprising that all languages change through time.
