When I was in college, I heard about a book titled “Looking Out for Number One”. I never read the book, and I didn’t like it. I think it was because the title_______I hadn’t been taught to be so selfish that I should focus on only me. I thought I needed to help others and, along the way, I would also help myself. Now, I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one.
Many years after seeing the book about looking out for number one, I’m realizing number one, me, is the person I should care first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world?” Most people answer, “the customer.” He then asks, “If there were only two people left in the world, the customer and you, who would you want to survive (生存)?” Now the answer is me.
It makes sense that if we can’t help ourselves first, we will never be ready to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in the position to help others in the future. But many of us are slow to understand this.
It is said that happiness will bring success, but success doesn’t always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. Some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will seek for high levels of success, thinking that will bring happiness. I’m sure we can think of some people who are very successful, according to the world’s standards (标准), but they appear to be unhappy sometimes. This is because they have been so busy working for somebody else’s goals that they haven’t considered their own needs.
1.The underlined phrase “turned me off” in Paragraph One probably means “________”.
A. made me bored B. made me excited
C. made me happy D. made me surprised
2.Who does the writer think is the most important person in the world?
A. The customer. B. Others.
C. Jeffery Gitomer. D. Himself.
3.From the third paragraph, we can learn ________.
A. we should help others instead of ourselves
B. actually few of us understand this idea earlier
C. helping others can help us to control our lives
D. we need to help others make the best decisions
4.Sometimes successful people feel unhappy because ________.
A. they seek for too high levels of success
B. they haven’t worked for their own goals
C. their basic needs are not completely met
D. they think success can’t bring happiness
5.The best title for the passage can be ________.

B. Always Helping Others First
C. The Most Important People in the World
D. Looking Out for Number One

This afternoon, when I was looking for a self-improvement(自我修养) book, I found an aged folder(文件夹).In this folder, there were some of the examination papers I’d taken during my pre-university days. They were on economics(经济学), a subject that I didn’t really like much then.
I laughed at the silly mistakes I made as I looked through the papers. And memories of the past came to my mind. I saw myself sitting at one of the study tables, working hard for some of my life goals. Back then, it was popular for most students to set life goals, because they thought it was most important.
It was during those times that I first started to set goals for myself. I didn’t know much about goal setting then. I didn’t use any goal tracking(跟踪) tools, either. All I knew was that I had to go to university. There was no other way that I could give myself. To go through my lecture(演讲) notes, I didn’t take breaks. For more revision with my classmates, I stayed back late. One time, I missed the school lock-out hours and I had to climb school gates in order to leave. It was perhaps this attitude(态度) that ignited my decision to go through what I had to do to get this far.
Yes, it may have been hard. But the sweet taste of victory experienced at the point of receiving my final results was so wonderful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life.
I closed the folder and dropped it into the dustbin(垃圾箱) in the room. It’s time to get kicking with my next goal. And by writing this, I know I’m getting closer.
1.When the author(作者)looked through the papers in the folder, he ________.
A. looked for a self-improvement book B. laughed at the silly mistakes he made
C. dropped it into the dustbin right away D. sat at the table and set life goals again
2.When the author first started to get goals for himself, he ________.
A. didn’t need to enter university B. didn’t use any goal tracking tools
C. was sure that he would win the victory D. learned a lot from a self-improvement book
3.Why did the author stay back late after school?
A. To be prepared to enter university. B. To learn more about goal setting.
C. To make his teacher pay attention to him. D. To get the chance of climbing school gates.
4.The underlined word “ignited” means ________ in the passage.
A. reduced(减少) B. balanced(平衡) C. questioned D. raised
5.What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?
A. He regularly(规律地) tidies his room. B. He’s not quite good at goal setting
C. He is ready for the next goal. D. He hated those papers in the folder.
