I know that something you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work---your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. 1. .
The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject that you study. 2. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.
That’s okay. 3. JK Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can’t let your failures define you. 4. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. 5.
A. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.
B. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.
C. You have to let your failures teach you.
D. You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have.
E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.
F. Failures can lead you to success.
G. Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗) ? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.
For example , some might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (彩票) . It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! ”
This guy is a winner , right? Maybe , maybe not. We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick. Let’s say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents says, “ During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs !” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs. ”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false statements, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1.We may infer that the author believes people should _______.
A. buy lottery tickets if possible
B. make use of half-truths
C. be careful about what they are told
D. not trust the Yucky Company
2.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
A. one B. Two C. Three D. Four
3.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.

If you want to cook something quickly, you heat it from both sides.That's what's happening to the West Antarctic ice sheet(南极洲西部冰盖)．A new study reveals that the area under the ice sheet is far hotter than previously thought, fed by an unexpected flow of geothermal energy (地热能)．While the CO2 we send out heats the atmosphere above the continent, earth is melting its ice from below.
If you were to drill (钻)deep at some place on the continents, you would find that the temperature increases about 25℃ for every kilometer deep into the hole on average.Scientists call this the geothermal gradient (地热梯度)．Until recently, no one had drilled deeply enough through the West Antarctic ice to determine the geothermal gradient underground.For the new study, researchers drilled all the way through the ice and into the mud.They found that the geothermal gradient was about 200℃，which is several times the global average on continents.Few predicted this result, although it had been showed that the earth below the West Antarctic ice is unusually hot.
Even with the new discovery, though，we still don't know exactly where the heat is coming from.One interesting possibility is volcanoes, which are under the ice.As recently as 2013, scientists were still discovering volcanoes under the ice in the area, and there may be many more.
Some people say that these volcanoes, rather than manmade climate change, are responsible for melting the area's ice.While it's true that heat coming from within the earth, including heat related to volcanoes, makes the melting faster, it is just one contributor to the loss of the West Antarctic ice sheet－not the main cause.Today's study could help us understand how the whole system, including global warming, is melting the ice.
1.What's happening to the West Antarctic ice sheet?
A. The ice sheet is getting hotter and hotter.
B. It is heated from below rather than from above.
C. The ice sheet is producing a new kind of energy.
D. It is melting from both sides.
2.What can be learned from the second paragraph?
A. It was the first time that researchers had tried to measure geothermal gradients.
B. The geothermal gradient showed where the heat came from.
C. The result was beyond the researchers' expectations.
D. Researchers never knew the earth under the West Antarctic ice was hot.
3.The author would probably agree that ________.
A. the new discovery is unhelpful without a certain conclusion
B. no volcano has been found to support the
researchers' idea
C. volcanoes are the most important reason for the melting of the ice
D. global warming is surely one reason for the melting of the ice
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A. The West Antarctic ice sheet is in danger.
B. Researchers are trying to stop global warming.
C. The West Antarctic ice sheet's melting will bring terrible consequences.
D. It has been known how to stop the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet.
