Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境) don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(不可忍受的) pain and will likely make you quit(放弃) well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent(坚持不懈的), hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

1.What can we learn from paragraph 1?

A. the meaning of success                　　　　 B. the reasons for success

C. the standards of success            　　　　 D. the importance of success

2.Paragraph 2 tells us　　　　 .

A. how to succeed                    　　　　 B. why to set a goal

C. how to get good at something        　　　　 D. how to practice

3.That successful people suggest doing what one loves is based on the fact that 　　　　 .

A. work makes one feel pain            　　　　 B. one tends to enjoy his work

C. it takes a lot of time to succeed        　　　　 D. one gives up his work easily

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Having a goal is important to success.

B. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.

C. Being good is different from being great.

D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.

Have you ever imagined taking the SAT or ACT in middle school? Duke TIP(Talent identification Program) gives younger students an opportunity to take these standardized tests, which are used for college admissions(录取).

Since 1979, Duke University has supported Duke TIP, an organization that encourages academic(学业的) achievement. In addition to organizing the exams for excellent students, the program also offers summer enrichment programs, online courses, and need-based help, among other resources.

On May 22, Duke TIP held its Grand Recognition Ceremony at the university in Durham, North Carolina. The event celebrated the achievements of this year’s seventh graders who scored in the highest 4 percent.

Top seventh graders are invited to take part in Summer Studies, where they can take different kinds of courses such as aerospace engineering to web development. While the 7th Grade Talent Search is the highlight of the program, students from grades 4 through 10 are allowed to take part in all kinds of Duke TIP programs.

Duke TIP’s Executive Director, Shawna Young, took part in the program when she was growing up. “I remember always being told I was smart and one day getting that letter in the mail from Duke, this university that was so well known,” she said. “I remember taking the SAT in seventh grade, walking in, and feeling that everybody was bigger than me. Not knowing how to answer all the questions, just trying to do my best. I left that experience more confident. It made me believe that it was OK to be myself.”

Young added that one of the best parts of Duke TIP is the creation of a group of like-minded students.

I was among the 500 seventh graders who were honored at this year’s ceremony, where three excellent Duke TIP alumni(校友) who have made great achievements in their own fields were also recognized. Who knows where the future will lead this year’s stars.

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get a success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness doesn’t mean money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1.When you do something wrong, people around you will_______.

A. quarrel with you                         B. help you correct it

Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

　　　 In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.

And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

　　　 Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can' t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的)door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
