Some people are successful, while others may not. This is because some people have some qualities, which others do not.

　The first thing you must remember is that in order to be successful, you must have optimism(乐观). If you do not look forward to winning, you will not try as hard as those who look forward to winning. You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动机) is a key to achieving success. If you do not have an aim, then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope (显微镜) to make sure that every detail is right.

Another quality that helps people to be successful is creativity---thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones.

　Reading is another to success, as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business.

Practicing is also very important if you want to have success because practice makes perfect. Practice every day at whatever career you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you as well. Your partners will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more chances. Finally if you are a successful person, you will be able to look at people in the eye and smile confidently.

Why are some people better able to beat the flu than others? Part of the answer, according to a new study, is related to the first flu strain we met in childhood.

Scientists from UCLA and the University of Arizona have found that people’s ability to beat the flu virus is decided not only by the sub types of flu they have had throughout their lives, but also by the sequence (顺序) in which they have been infected by those viruses. Their study was published in PLoS Pathogens. The research offers an explanation for why some people become much worse than others when infected with the same strain of the flu virus.

In addition, UCLA scientists, including Professor James Lloyd-Smith, who was also a senior author of the PLoS Pathogens research, recently completed a study that analyzed (分析)travel-related screening(筛查) for the 2019-nCoV. The researchers reported that screening travelers is not very effective for the 2019 coronavirus ― that it will catch less than half of infected travelers, on average ― and that most infected travelers cannot be found out, meaning that they have no symptoms(症状)yet, and are unaware that they have been at high risk. So stopping the spread of the virus is not simply a matter of improving screening methods at airports and other travel centers.

“This puts the responsibility on government officials and public health officials to follow up with travelers after they arrive, to separate them and trace(追踪) their contacts if they get sick later,” said Lloyd-Smith, a UCLA professor of ecology and evolutionary biology(生态学和进化生物学). “Many governments have started to impose quarantines (隔离), or even travel bans, as they realize that screening is not enough to stop the spread of the coronavirus.”

One major concern, Lloyd-Smith said is that other countries, especially developing nations, lack the infrastructure(基础设施)and resources for those measures, and are therefore vulnerable to importing(输入) the disease. “Much of the public health world is very concerned about the virus being introduced into Africa or India, where large populations exist that are not able to receive advanced medical care,” he said.

1.Why is the scientists’ research very important?

A.It explains the cause of the flu virus. B.It reduces the risk of people being infected.

C.It analyzes(分析) people’s ability to fight off the virus. D.It stops the spread of the flu virus all around the world.

2.What do we know about the novel coronavirus from Paragraph 3?

A.Travelers are at high risk of being exposed to it.

B.It is more difficult to stop its spread than expected.

C.Most travelers infected with it are detected by screening.

D.It spreads especially quickly at airports and railway stations.

3.Why does the writer mention Lloyd-Smith’s words in Paragraph 4?

A.To persuade people not to travel. B.To provide a method to kill the virus.

C.To show the harmful effects of the virus. D.To stress(强调) the responsibilities of officials.

4.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph?

A.Easy. B.Impossible. C.Responsible. D.Indifferent.

Some people may be good at talking. They always have successful conversations with others. But some don't because they are shy. In fact, everyone is a little shy. This article may help you overcome your shyness.

Put yourself out there. This seems clear—the best way to meet people is to actively look for places out where you can meet people! Go to the dance party at your school or the Christmas get-together. Try to meet at least one person by the end of the night.

Practice talking. Even though this may sound strange. Stand in front of a mirror or close your eyes, and then imagine yourself talking to someone. This way is very helpful.

Show your talents. Making new friends is a great way to overcome shyness. Ask your friends to introduce you to their friends. Although that may sound useless, it really isn't. For example, if you like art, you can consider painting something for a party. It will be easier to make you feel comfortable. On the other hand don't be afraid to discover some new interests.

Change your shy look. Take a moment to look at yourself. Are you the kind of person who wears dark clothes? This makes you very unapproachable. You should wear brighter clothes. Go from wearing black, brown, and blue to wearing green, yellow and orange. Remember, you don't always have to change your look. You can just simply make your expression friendlier. Let people know that it's OK to talk with you.
