People often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do.
I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes. They said it probably really wouldn’t matter. Six years later, I’m a millionaire and they are all still blaming the economy, the government and company policies. They neglected(忽视) to do the basic, easy things.
In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing can be summed up in a single word: neglect. It is not the lack of money – banks are full of money. It is not the lack of opportunity – the government continues to offer the most opportunities. It is not the lack of books – libraries are full of books – and they are free! It is not the schools – the classrooms are full of good teachers. We have plenty of good advisors. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is neglect.
Don’t do the things which cause us to feel guilty(感到内疚的) and guilt erodes our self-confidence. As our self-confidence reduces, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity goes down, so do our results. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins changing from positive to negative, our self-confidence becomes even less … and on and on it goes.
So my suggestion is that when giving choice of “easy to” and “easy not to”, do not neglect to do the simple, basic, “easy” but potentially life-changing activities.
1.Why did the author become a millionaire in six years?
A.He was a very lucky man.
B.He didn’t come across difficulties.
C.He did some basic and easy things.
D.He set himself long-term life goals.
2.The underlined word “erodes” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.
A.changes B. neglects
C.weakens D.exposes
3.What is the main reason that some people fail to succeed?
A.They don’t have good opportunities.
B.They neglect the importance of success.
C.They lack the government’s support.
D. They don’t make use of what they have.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Being self-confident works
B.Nothing can not be neglected
C.Everything is easy to do
D.Success is easy, but so is neglect

People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that, once you start learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I am in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It is amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I did not want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
1.How long did the author learn English in Wuhan University?
A.A week. B.A Month.
C.A term. D.A year.
2.What is the good way to improve your English according to the author?
A.Reading English books. B.Thinking in English.
C.Watching English films. D.Learning English grammar.
3.Where did the author improve his English quickly?
A.In America. B.In China.
C.In the university. D.In the middle school.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.My University Life B.American English
C.My English Learning Experience D.The Importance of Learning English

People often say, “The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their wives rule them.
Most American women like making their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs, and when they work they want to be paid. They also want to be as successful as men.
The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men and have the same chances for success. They didn’t want to be told that certain jobs or offices were closed to them. They refused to work side by side with men who did the same work for a higher pay.
A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” She will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby.” This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree with it. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives and in men’s lives, too.
1. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. American women usually take care of their children by themselves
B. women in the United States are powerful
C. women play a very important role in men’s lives
D. if there is no woman, there is no man
2. From the passage we know that most American women today are _____.
A. fighting for their rights to work side by side with men
B. working hard at home to help their husbands and sons be successful
C. working side by side with men in all kinds of jobs
D. very confident about their future
3. The liberated women want to do all the following EXCEPT ___________.
A. stay at home to help their husbands be successful
B. have the same chances for success as men
C. get the same pay when doing the same work as men
D. seek for office and do some important jobs as men
4. By saying “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go”, a liberated woman is stating that _______.
A. she has nearly got to her destination
B. there is a little more than what she wants
C. she will never get to her ideal destination
D. it is not far enough and she will go a lot further
5. In this passage, the author suggests that in the United States _______.
A. most women can’t get a good job
B. many women still don’t want to go out of their home to work
C. all families are still supported by men
D. all liberated women have achieved a lot
