Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid.

Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.

Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.

Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting（面对） a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet— and stopped him cold.”

Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; Boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.

So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.

1.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?

A. He faced huge risks.

B. Fear prevented him from trying.

C. He lacked mighty forces.

D. Failure blocked his way to success.

2.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?

A. Act slightly above your abilities.

B. Swallow more than you can digest.

C. Develop more mysterious powers.

D. Learn to make creative decisions.

3.What was especially important for Tim’s successful defense in the football game?

A. His physical strength.　　 B. His basic skill.

C. His spiritual force.　　　 D. His real fear.

4.What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A. Boldness can be gained little by little.

B. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.

C. Trying without success is meaningless.

D. Repeated failure creates a better life.

Four Secrets to Steve Jobs’ Success

How is it that a college dropout, who was once kicked out of his own company, became one of the world’s foremost innovators?

Carmine Gallo lists the four ways Jobs managed to succeed in the face of discouraging circumstances. 1.

Do what you love, no matter what it happens to be.

This is what Jobs told Stanford University graduates in a speech in 2005, Gallo says the famous talk show host Rachael Ray agrees with this advice. Rachael Ray does what she loves. 2. She did that because she loved cooking.

Say no to 1000 things.

Simplifying his business was the key to Jobs’ success, Gallo says. In 1997, when Jobs returned to Apple, Apple was close to bankruptcy（破产）. He took 300 products and condensed them to 10 within a two-year period.

3. In his latter years, he decided he would wear the same dress every day so that he didn’t have to think about it.

Kick-start（启动）your brain by doing something new.

Doing new things helped Jobs, in the words of Apple's own slogan, “Think differently.”

The inspiration for the Apple Store came from the Four Seasons Hotel. That’s why when you walk into an Apple Store, you will not find a cashier. 4.. Walk to the back of the store and there’s a bar. It doesn’t serve alcohol, but it collects advice.

5.

“For Jobs, it wasn’t just about selling 29 million iPads this summer but entertaining the customer at the same time,” Gallo says. “Whether you run a multi-billion dollar tech company or a pizza restaurant, innovation means creating a new experience for your customers,” Jobs says.

A. Do what you are curious about.

B. Create fresh experiences.

C. Instead, you’ll find a doorkeeper.

D. Carmine Gallo says that you can do the same.

E. She was giving cooking lessons at Macy’s for free.

F. Simplicity also extends to Jobs’ personal life.

G. Jobs explained that iPad was not just a phone but a lifestyle.

There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages.

On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."

The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.

"You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you."

"But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.

"A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."

The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."

"I can," answered the captain.

"If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."

The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?"

"There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."

"But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily.

" A fire's fire, you said," answered the sailor. "If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken."

1. The captain got the sailors' wages ________.

Writing a film analysis essay is an assignment that is less likely to terrorize those who fear the idea of writing an essay, because it allows them to write about something most people enjoy.

1. .Then watch it again. Take notes during the first viewing and, if you are analyzing a movie that is available on DVD, be ready with your remote control to pause and rewind.

Critically engage the movie so that you can effectively produce a strong essay. 2. . Ideas for essays taking this route could include an analysis of how the film is photographed, how the movie relates a historical event in a dramatic way without compromising the facts or how a single sequence within the film relates to larger cinematic concepts, like overlapping dialogue or the use of dramatic irony.

3. . Include the name of another technician on the film if your analysis will be focusing on that aspect. Write your film analysis with the movie at hand if this possible.

Provide a brief overview of the story, but avoid the temptation to pad your word count by writing what amounts to a synopsis(outline) of the story rather than analysis. 4. .

Familiarize　 yourself　 with　 technical　 languages　 related　 to　 the　 art　 of　 filmmaking.　 Write　 about subjective camera work if the analysis is dealing with a part of the movie shot from the point of view of one of the characters. 5..

A.Reveal plots if they relate directly to your analysis.

B.Rely on your memory to write your film analysis.

C.Watch the movie carefully.

D.Write about the emotional tone of the film.

E.Introduce the film and its major participants.

F.Properly using filmmaking terms will strengthen your essay.

G.Focus on a single thematic concept related to the film.
