Too often in life, we focus on the things we cannot do. Sometimes we cannot do things because of financial limitations, health limitations, family limitations, educational limitations, and so on. Sometimes, we end up limiting ourselves from achieving success in reaching our goals. We end up having a negative attitude which limits our ability to achieve success and happiness in our life.

Through the Internet, I have recently met an individual (个人) whom I found to be very inspiring. He has a positive attitude; he focuses on what he can do. To name a few of his accomplishments: he has set a world record, and is in the Guinness Book of World Records; he is an international poet with over 900 publications; he is an advocate (拥护者) for the disabled; he is the founder of Beyond Limitations Week; he is an ambassador (大使) for the Harvey Ball World Smile Foundation; he has created his own website—http://wheelierecord. Tripod. com/ index. html. And the list could go on!

The individual is Robert M．Hensel. You see, Robert was born spina bifida, a disability that affects the sense of balance and also has an influence on the kidneys (肾脏). Robert could have easily used his disability to limit his achievements, yet he has accomplished more than many. His attitude to life is one that, for me, is inspiring! To quote Robert, “I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other ways to meet our needs. Now I look beyond what I can’t do and focus on what I can.”

Let Robert be a reminder for changing attitudes. Use his motto of not focusing on what you can’t do, but focus on what you can do！

1.What stops us from achieving success according to the author?

A. Negative attitudes　　 B. Constant changes

C. Too high goals　　 D. Various limitations

2.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. A disease　　 B. A disability

B. He always looks beyond his strengths.

C. He takes advantage of his disability.

D. He concentrates on what he can do.

4.How does the author support his idea in the text?

Do you always agree to do things that you are unwilling to do? Are you the type of person who always says "yes"? I've come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO! It's okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

I'm not saying to say "no" to someone who really needs your help. I'm talking about refusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don't want to be a guest at.

Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don't want to do. If you're like I once was，you can't sleep at night and you think about it too much. It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you're saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn't have all of these thoughts.

So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don't show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not the one you must attend) your boss isn't going to like you or your co-workers won't respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won't love you as much if you don't do everything for them that they ask every occasion.

If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to, and if you're someone who always says "yes", then that's what they're expecting.

You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

1.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?

A. We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

B. We should help others in need.

C. Always saying "no" means you are brave.

D. Always saying "yes" means you are dishonest.

2.What does the underlined word '' It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Saying "yes".

B. A friend's birthday party.

C. Something you're unwilling to do.

D. Something you think difficult to do.

3.The writer believes that if you say "no" to your family members，you'll ______.

A. upset them

B. disappoint them

C. have a loose relationship with them

D. have the same relationship with them as before

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Learn to Make a Right Choice

B. To Be Yourself

C. Learn to Say No

D. Do What You Want to Do

There are plenty of things you can do right now to prepare if you live in an area where earthquakes often happen.

① Make sure each member of your family knows what to do no matter where they are when earthquakes happen:

Agree on a meeting place where you can all reunite afterward.

Find out about earthquake plans developed by children’s school or day care.

Remember transportation may be affected, so keep some emergency supplies--food, liquids, and comfortable shoes, for example—at work.

② Make sure all family members know where your gas, electric and water main shutoffs are and how to turn them off if there is a leak or electrical short.

③ Find the exact position of your nearest fire and police stations and emergency medical places.

④ Talk to your neighbors--how could they help you, or you them after an earthquake?

⑤ Take Red Cross First Aid and CPR Training Course.

⑥ Make your disaster supply bag. Beyond the usual flashlights, batteries and radios, include a first-aid bag; work gloves; shoes or boots; a week’s supply of medicine you or your family might need; credit card and cash; personal identification; extra set of keys; matches in a waterproof container; map of your area; phone numbers of family and other important people; copies of insurance policies and other important documents; a certain amount of water per person; three-day supply of food per person; hand tools; something for joy (toys, books, coloring books and crayons, playing cards)

⑦ Make sure bookcases, cupboards, tall furniture, and etc. stand well. Move the items which are heavy or easy to break to lower shelves. Fasten drawers and cabinet doors with latches or locks. Look for other steps you can take in your home and workplace to reduce your chances for injury and loss.

⑧ Ask about the safety of your home and/or business. It’s well known that some brick buildings can fail quickly during earthquakes. A check by an engineer now can help you decide what to do so that your buildings can withstand shaking.

1.How can you prepare your family for a possible gas leak caused by an earquake?

A.Keep food and liquid supplies at work.

B.Tell them where the main shutoffs are and how to shut them off.

C.Find the exact position of your nearest fire station.

D.Make agreement with the neighbors to help each other.

3.If you have doubt about the safety of your building, you should ________.

[1]One out of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together. Researchers began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children. Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways.

[2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be good and effective way to reduce the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great time to share the events of the day, discuss news and ideas and just be together and enjoy each other's company.

[3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that the prior to their children. Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children's school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can better direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.

[4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. _________ if there is too much arguing going on, if there is no meaningful conversation or, what is even worse, if there is just plain silence during gathering.

We know the westerners like to plan for their time carefully in order to do all the things that are important to them. So if your American or English friend asks you to dinner, he usually invites you a week ahead. But if you really have no time and can't go to the dinner, you can ring him to say sorry. The dinner is usually served at home, sometimes at a restaurant. You should get there on time, and don't forget to put on your fine clothes. It is also a good idea to take some little presents to your friend, such as flowers, chocolates and so on.

4) Don't ask others to have more wine. (This is quite different from that in China.)

5) After dinner, use your napkin (餐巾) to clean your mouth and hands.

6) Make sure small pieces of food are not left on your face.

Then after dinner, you can stay there a little time. And your friend will be pleased if you leave in half an hour or so. Next day, you had better ring him up to thank him for the good dinner.
