When kids believe they can achieve success in math and reading, they are more likely to achieve high test scores in those subjects, new research suggests.
Researchers used one US data set (1,354 American children) and one UK data set (13,901 British children) to measure self-concept and standardized assessments of early and later academic achievement. Self-concept is how students perceive（感知）their abilities to succeed on academic tasks. The data involved youth aged 5 to 18.
The study considered children’s earlier achievement and their characteristics and backgrounds, including birth weight, race, gender, age, and their mother’s education.
The researchers found that children’s self-concept of their ability in math predicted later math achievement, while their self-concept of their ability in reading predicted later reading achievement.
The finding suggests that the links between self-concept of ability and later achievement are specific to areas; that is, there is a link from students’ self-concept about reading to reading achievement, and from students’ self-concept about math to math achievement.
“It is not unusual to see standardized measures of achievement predict achievement later in schooling, but it shows that there is more to understand.” says study coauthor Pamela Davis-Kean.
The research also showed that success was not limited to students who perform at the top levels.
“It involves in students with different levels of achievement in math and reading,” says Maria Ines Susperreguy, an assistant professor at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, who led the study. “Even the lowest-performing students who had a more positive view of their math and reading abilities had higher levels of achievement in math and reading.”
Researchers say they don’t know what parents or students did to create these beliefs, but it’s an issue they will research further.
1.What can we know about the children in the study?
A. They succeeded in maths. B. Their ages ranged from 5 to 18.
C. They were from all over the world. D. They were well-performing children.
2.What was considered when scientists did the research?
A. Mother’s career. B. Children’s weight.
C. Children’s age. D. Family background.
3.What inspiration can we get from this text?
A. Success lies in hard work.
B. Intelligence is a must to success.
C. Abilities can contribute to success.
D. Positive view matters much in success.
4.What will the researchers probably study in the future?
A. The effect of children’s beliefs.
B. Students’ learning methods.
C. Children’s future achievements.
D. Ways to develop children’s confidence.

Are you afraid of failure? However, only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success:
Understand that at times you make mistakes. 1. Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled(爬行). We got up, fell down and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk quite well.
2. Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations. Refuse to consider failure a character weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.
Remember that failure has produced many successes. 3. Albert Einstein’s teacher told him to quit school and said, “Einstein, you will never achieve anything!” Beethoven’s music teacher said he was hopeless to become a composer(作曲家). Henry Ford’s first two car companies failed.
Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you try, the better you make.” It’s hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries. 4.
Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things don’t work out, take it as a chance to build perseverance(坚持不懈). Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn’t give up. 5.
A. Don’t take failure personally.
B. Work hard and try to avoid(避免) failure.
C. Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes.
D. Believe that you’ve got what it takes to work through the difficult times.
E. Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work.
F. Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.
G. In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are little.

[1]All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it! Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.
[2]The first goal common to all of us in health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing!
[3]The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships – intimate, personal or social – with the people we like and respect, and who ________ is turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they , have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted (晋升) faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.
The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listing to determine what you want to eat.
1.What does this passage chiefly talk about? (no more than 12 words)
2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 6 words)
