How to become successful? This is an important question most young people often think about. When I was young, I also thought about this question quite often
Firstly, I think the most important quality(品质 )that a successful person should develop is the ability to think independently. There are a lot of chances, but not many people can realize that there are chances for them to make good use of. So you should have the ability to think independently. You should be able to understand what you can do best. What is the most suitable job for you? When you choose your job, you need to keep this in mind. Maybe you are good at sales; maybe you are good at technology; maybe you are good at starting a new company; maybe you are good at working for a large company. You need to think deeply to find out what you are good at. I think that is the most important thing. Secondly, once you have figured out what you want to do and what you can do best, you should focus on it. Do not change your job every year. It is not a good thing to change your job very often. Do not change your focus, either. You should know that if you focus on something, you may be able to do it better than most other people.
The two points mentioned above may be regarded as secrets of success, and they are also two pieces of advice for young people who wish to become successful in the future.
1.What's the most important quality that successful people should develop?
A. To think independently.
B. To have a strong will
C. To have a sense of humor
D. To be hard-working
2.When you choose your job, you should __________.
A. find a well-paid one
B. find the most suitable one
C. ask your parents for advice
D. turn to successful people for help
3.What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "focus on “in Paragraph 2?
A. 意识到
B. 改变
C. 专注于
D. 理解
4.How many pieces of advice does the author give us?

When we talk about red packets, the most important question is “What are you going to do with it?” One thing you could do is to put your money in the bank.
Maybe you don’t know, some students in Hubei began to use the Xiaogui Dangjia bank card this year. This is a card for children. It is from China Minsheng Bank in Wuhan.
