The seeds, and the power to grow them,
are contained in the most awes
ome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsibl
e for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 41 ourselves in that way. You are 42 , and may give yourself a greater pleasure by helping the poor man. Perhaps we put a 43 into each shoe, and watch his reaction.”
The student did so, and they both 44 themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came 45 the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While 46 his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 47 , he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin.

．faith B．fact C．truth D．reliabilityWhen I smoked with my family, I would feel so 16 and good that nothing else in the world seemed so 17 . I thought that smoking weed (烟草) was okay since many of my family members and people at my school smoked. 18 ever happened to them. 19 I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought 20 of it. At that time I just wanted to smoke. Then I began to 21 in school. I would 22 classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend 23 8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought 24 that marijuana (大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high (神智恍惚) was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get 25 cigarettes if I smoked those, but I don’t. 26 I have learned more about marijuana, I have 27 the amount of marijuana that I use. I don’t want marijuana to be the most important in my life. I’m not smoking every day, and not spending as much money. Since I have 28 on my habit, I am 29 more money. I’m ready to go back to school and do good, so that I can make myself 50 . Everyone is always saying how weed 31 your mind and how it solves problems. I think it only brings more 32 . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I’m not trying to tell you not to smoke, I’m just letting you know that marijuana can be 33 to your health, and 34 it may cause some long term negative (负面的) effects. Help yourself now, before it is too late. I don’t want to lecture anyone, just 35 my experience with you.

He was in such a happy mood and in the joy of the moment, he did not even bother changing his grey flannel（法兰绒）suit which had become a little worn during the trip home.
When he entered the brilliantly lit room, his relatives and friends gave him a rather cold welcome because they had noticed his modest suit and immediately imagined that he had come back a poor man.
A young man who happened to be accompanying him was quite irritated at this and said to Willy, “What a wonderful reception you have received from these people. They have not even the intention of shaking your hand after all these years that you have been away from home.”
“Just wait and see!” whispered Willy, “They will soon change their looks!” Saying this he slipped a precious ring on his finger. All of a sudden the faces of all those present lit up and immediately Willy was surrounded by so many people that he didn’t know what to do. A man shook his hand, a cousin threw his arms around him, and he had so many invitations from the people present that he thought he would be unable to make any other appointments for several years.
“Has this beautiful, precious ring of yours the power of magic people?” asked the young man.
“Oh, no!” replied Willy, “They see in this glittering diamond ring something that makes them think I am rich, and, unfortunately, they place wealth above everything else.”
"What blind people!"
exclaimed the young man. “It is not the ring that has drawn them to you but their desire for riches. Is it possible to appreciate more a piece of yellow metal surrounded by little stones than the goodness of my Lord? And indeed how foolish are people who place their trust in riches rather than in virtues（美德）!”小题1: In what way did Willy go to attend the party held by his relatives and friends?
| A．In such a modest mood. | B．In travel-soiled clothes. |
| C．Wearing a precious jewel. | D．Without being accompanied. |
| A．excited | B．pleased | C．angry | D．envious |
| A．give up all the physical wealth | B．appreciate more jewelry than goodness |
| C．observe carefully when judging a person | D．avoid being blinded by the desire for wealth |
| A．The Diamond Ring | B．The Welcome Party |
| C．The Modest Clothes | D．The Joyful Crowd |

Using All Your Strength
A young boy was walking with his father along a country road. When they came across a large tree branch 11 the pathway, the boy asked, “Do you think I could 12 it?”
His father answered, “If you use all your strength, I am sure you can.”
The boy tried 13 to lift, pull and push the branch, bu
t it wouldn’t budge. 14 , he said, “Dad, you were wrong. I can’t do it alone.”“Try again,” his dad said.
This time, as the boy struggled, his father 15 him. Together they pushed the 16
aside.
“Son, the first time you didn’t use all your strength,” his father said. “You didn’t ask me to help.”
This is a valuable 17 . There are many things we can’t do alone, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get them done. We are 18 by resources that can be mobilized (调动) to help us

Sometimes we 20 to ask for help because of 21 or stubbornness. Sometimes we think it is a sign of 22 to admit we need a hand. Sometimes we don’t even 23

It’s 24 that we learn to use all our strength. This includes inner resources such as discipline, courage, and even love. It also includes 25 resources. Just as we should be willing to help others, we should be willing to ask others for help.
