It’s certain that the following tale is a nice example that can teach us a good lesson.

He kept complaining about his bad18and kept wondering why those who had so much money were never 19 and were always desiring more.

“As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to wear, I would not want anything more."

Just at that moment Goddess Fortune20the beggar among the crowd and approached him, greeting, “Hi, young man, I have wished to 21 you for a long time.

When success comes quickly, as a result of hard work meeting opportunity, one tends to forget that it may not always continue on trend.

Like me, most people do not “hit it big”. We tend to take a more circuitous(迂回的) route toward success. Believe that great success is not always be given the lucky but those who go after it long and diligently.

Recently I have conversations with many people that are in the “success” stage, not happy where they currently are or feeling “unsuccessful”. Society has made us confirm that we need to be wealthy in order to be successful. I tell them not to get on the “way off track”. Success doesn’t have to be financial, it could be relationships, it could be fulfilling your passions, and it could be your health level. I know many successful people that are not wealthy but are rich in their career or spirit. The worst thing people can do is chase the “money” by any kind of means. Success is made by serving others, and in turn, you will get the rewards of financial success.

It’s not easy travelling down the roads of patience, risk and uncertainty. You must stay flexible because the road to success is always under construction. You must concentrate because someone or something will throw a roadblock in the middle of the road. So, get ready for difficulty and delays. Stop worrying about failure.

The road to success is not a straight line, it’s over mountains and down in the valleys. With persistence and belief, you will most certainly get there. Trust you will have powerful and new breakthroughs as long as you get rid of the hurdle of self-doubt and never give up. And, even if all else fail, remind yourself that: I couldn’t wait for success, so I went ahead without it.

1.When success comes quickly a person probably 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. forgets it is not easy to be successful　　 B. forgets successful trend continues

C. forgets success may not be always true　　 D. remembers success may come suddenly

2.What does the underlined phrase “hit it big” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Have a big dream　　 B. Achieve great success

C. Solve a big problem　　 D. Hit something heavily

3.According to the author most people have the wrong opinion that 　　　　　　　　　　 .

A. the rich are successful　　 B. the poor may be successful

C. to succeed needs money　　 D. success belongs to the lucky

4.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. Success needs courage　　 B. The road to success

C. What leads to success　　 D. Success is our dream

If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do --- as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read- sports and international news, etc.

I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(煤体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

1. What is the best title for the text?

2.In the writer’s opinion, in the future, ___________.

3.What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

4.From the text, we can infer that _____________.

5.The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ___________.
