[详细]举一反三
When an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no “I ” in “team”.
There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.
When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don"t play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.
There is a saying that goes, "A successful team beats with one heart." If that is the case, the Celtics may have the biggest heart in the NBA.
小题1:What does the passage mainly talk about? | A．The stories of three famous basketball superstars. | | B．A famous basketball team named the Boston Celtics. | | C．The importance of teamwork among teammates. | | D．Matches between the Boston Celtics and other teams. |
小题2:What does this sentence “there is no ‘I’ in ‘team’.” mean in Paragraph 1? | A．"I" will be missing once "I" am on the court. | | B．The cooperation of the teammates is more important than the individual. | | C．"I" work so hard in a team that "I" will forget who "I" am | | D．Surrounded by other players, "I" don’t seem to exist. |
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true about Pierce’s recent performance? | A．He became an even better shooter with others’ help. | | B．He focused much more attention on defense. | | C．He created more chances for teammates. | | D．He stood and cheered for his teammates |
小题4:Which of the following didn’t contribute to the success of the Boston Celtics? | A．The whole team has become devoted to each and every stage of the game. | | B．The cooperation and teamwork among the teammates in the match. | | C．The influence of Garnett, Allen, Pierce and other teammates’ cheering. | | D．The increasing frequency of team players on the bench |

Success starts within our mind. Now, we will discuss four steps to change our lives and create a new future.
■ 1. Think big. Get rid of negative(负面的)beliefs.
Your beliefs have developed from what happened to you in the past. You should realize that the past is not equal to the future, unless you really live there. The first thing you need to do is to drive all the negative beliefs away from your mind. Those beliefs are not useful for creating a new future. Think that everything is possible if you put enough effort in it. When you change your beliefs into positive ones, you will feel more powerful. You will then be able to move on to the next level.
■ 2. Write your plan to achieve your goals.
Your great goals should be divided into smaller goals. Make a timetable for each goal so that you can measure your progress. Write a detailed plan to achieve these goals.
■ 3.Take action according to your plan.
Nothing bears fruit without action. Every successful person has to work hard towards his or her goals. There is no exception(例外). Be prepared to work according to your plan. Be willing to invest (投资) in the resources necessary for your progress. Do not give up.
■ 4. Review what you have done and know how good you are.
While you are in the process of your work, take some time to review how well you have done. Review your progress based on your plan and see if you need to change anything. You can change your methods but you should not change your goals.
小题1: Why should we get rid of our negative beliefs?
A．They come from our past experiences.
| B．The past and the future are different.
| C．They will stop us from starting a new future.
| D．We should learn some useful things. |
小题2: According to the second step, to achieve your big goals, you should _________.
A．change your methods
| B．make full use of every minute
| C．divide them into smaller ones and achieve them one by one to time
| D．measure your progress from time |
小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．During your work, be prepared to change everything.
| B．If you feel your goal difficult, you’d better give it up.
| C．Considering changing the ways you achieve goals is useful.
| D．Reviewing is more important than setting goals. |
小题4: Which of the following has the same meaning as "Nothing bears fruit without action."?
A．No pain, no gain.
| B．Better early than late.
| C．He laughs last who laughs best.
| D．Nothing succeeds like success. |

Steve Jobs on life and death
When I was 17, I read a quote （引述） that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every 2 and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the 3 has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 4 something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever used to help me make the big 6 in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all 7 of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is 8 important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 9 . You are already naked. There is no reason not to 10 your heart.
Your time is limited, so don’t 11 it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 12 by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the 13 to follow your beliefs and goals. They somehow already know what you really want to 14 . Everything else is 15 .
