There are numerous “secrets” out there on attaining success. The vast majority of these so called secrets all have one thing in common – Attitude.

1.

The key to developing a successful attitude is to decide that there are certain things in life that you need, rather than merely want. For example, do you want a luxury house? 2. Do you want fame and fortune in your career?

Sure, everyone wants these things. 3. That is because it’s never enough to merely want something. You have to be the type of individual who feels that they need these things in order to survive. This gives you the motivation to work towards your dream and do whatever it takes – except, of course, for breaking laws or hurting people – to get there. And all this must be done with the “fuel” of a positive attitude.

How do you begin to change your attitude?

It is always useful to connect with useful resources outside us in changing our attitude for the better. 4. Try to pay closer attention to your inner thoughts.

Realizing where negative thoughts come from can help us get to the point where we are able to erase them. Once they are erased, it is vital to replace them with more positive thoughts. 5.

Perhaps your friends and loved ones will not understand the new you. But you can become a role model for them — and it begins by developing a positive attitude!

A.What do you need?

B.Do you want a lot of money?

C.What is the secret to Success?

D.Do you find yourself constantly in doubt?

E.However, the change will always begin inside you.

F.Problem is, very few people are able to attain them.

G.This is how we begin to make an attitude adjustment.

Do you want to have a lot of close friends? In order to make it happen, you must do a lot of things right. You will learn tips on how to build a solid friendship.

You should be extra respectful when you are at others’ homes. For example, you must not make unpleasant comments about them. Once when I was at the house of a friend as a high school senior, I told him he had feet that looked funny while he had his socks off in his bedroom. He rebutted(反驳),“If you’re going to make fun of my feet, you can leave.’’

You must be a person of your word. For example, if you say you will do something for or with your friend, you must follow up on it.

You must respect people other than your friends.This includes respecting your friends’ family members and being polite to others in general.

It is helpful to be supportive. You should try to provide help when your friends need it.

You should understand them. Even if you do not agree with some of the things they do, you should show an understanding of why they do them and offer advice while avoiding telling them they are at fault for their problems.

You must be caring. You must put care into the things you do for them and show concern for their troubles.

Having a good attitude is a must. You must avoid being combative(好斗的)as well as being sad or mad too often.

Take these tips to build solid friendships!

1.The purpose of the passage is to________.

2.What did the author mainly want to show by mentioning his friend in high shool?

3.The underlined part “be a person of your word’’ in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by“ ________’’.

How to improve your studies—scientifically

Our brain can possibly memorize 2. 5 petabytes（千兆）of information. In order to use some of that surprising capacity（能力）a little more effectively when you learn, here are some tips that are based on widely-accepted research by learning experts.

1.

Some enjoy watching videos over reading books, others study with friends, and some like sitting in silence among a million books. Everybody is different.

Hard things first

2.　 , so do the things that are difficult first. Once you are done with the hard things, you will feel better for the rest of the day, and probably more motivated to get other things done.

Space（分隔开）your studies

3. . Facts or vocabularies, for example, are best learned if you review them the first time one to two days after the study, and then again after one week, and after one month.

Instant self-test

After your study, finish up with a quick quiz. Immediate recall in the form of a test or a short summary on what you’ve just learned can increase retention（记忆力）by as much as 30%. 4., that extra effort creates deeper traces（痕迹）in your memory.

Don’t force it

Motivation is like hunger. You cannot force yourself to be motivated, just like you can’t tell someone else to be hungry. So, if you are not hungry right now, don’t worry. 5..

A.Take fun seriously

B.Find your own style

C.Take a break, and do something else

D.Good memory can grow your brain’s potential

E.Because it’s much harder for your brain to remember than to read

F.Like most people you have the strongest willpower in the morning.

G.to remember things for a longer time, repeat the material after taking several breaks
