Do you want to be a successful person? Would you like to know how successful people usually think and what drives them? Here I am going to tell you the key to success that successful people share.

First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to move ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they can’t control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. At the same time, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life.

Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live life “on purpose”-- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to deal with things around them. They hold the view that when they live their life “on purpose”, their main concern is to do the job right. They live what they do. People want to do business with them because of their commitment. To live their life “on purpose”, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it.

Besides, they never give up easily. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. To achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have forever. Rather than see this as negative or depressing, they would use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

So keep in mind what successful people always hold to be true so that you will have a clear idea of what you should do to be successful in life.

1.According to the passage, to be successful, ______.

A. you should set up a realistic goal

B. you should know your strengths and weaknesses

C. you shouldn’t blame others for your failure

D. you shouldn’t waste time

2.Which is NOT the key to success that successful people share?

A. Taking responsibility for their life.

B. Never giving up easily.

C. Having a goal in life.

D. Controlling things in life.

3.The underlined word “spur” in paragraph 4 probably means “______”.

A. interest　 B. equip

C. depend 　 D. inspire

4.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to ______.

A. explain the exact meaning of success

Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.

She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.

For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .

请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Do you want to be a charming person? Here are some tips.

Charming people make their body language open. They smile, laugh, and maintain eye contact while talking with others. Of course, you mustn’t overdo this. The moment someone senses that you are forcing yourself to smile, or laughing too enthusiastically at a weak joke, they will dismiss you as false. You should also work on your voice. Avoid flat vowels. Whenever you get the chance, chant (吟诵) your vowels out loud, making them as smooth and polished as you can. More generally, keep your voice calm, soft, and clear.

Charming people automatically (自动地) look for the best in everyone they meet and will usually find something good to say about them. Running other people down behind their back is an ugly and charmless trait (品质). Charming people want everyone to be happy and have a good time. Of course, this does not mean they like everyone, but their basic approach is tolerant.

This goodwill is often rooted in a broad mind and a real curiosity about others. Such curiosity needs to be distinguished from nosiness, however. Nosy people are looking for gossip (闲话). They have no real interest in others. They just want to hear about others’ failures because such information makes them feel better about their own life. Charming people think differently. If someone tells them they have just returned from a vacation in Iceland, for example, they do not assume the other person is showing off or trying to outdo them. Instead, they smile, nod and ask what they thought. And their questions will be thoughtful. Rather than just asking how much it cost or what the food was like in a bored tone, charming people will ask whether they chose to go there because they are interested in Viking history, for example.

Few traits are more loveable or more charming than self-effacement (谦逊). Charming people are realistic about their limitations. They don’t loathe (厌恶) themselves and neither do they think they are special. They simply recognize themselves for what they are. And when they run themselves down, they do so with a smile and a laugh, drawing you into sharing the joke. If they fell over during a job interview, or dropped their notes midway through a speech, they would say “oh God, I made such a fool of myself today”, shake their head, laugh and then tell you what happened.
