                                                Success Is Not a Destination (目的地)
     Should people stop once they have achieved something? No! In life, they are always trying to make
things better or have more of the same success.
     Athletes are constantly striving (努力) to shorten time for races, increase heights or distances.
     The world of medicine has had its series of successes, too. Christian Barnard performed several
successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the
ages, mankind has found treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases. A cure for AIDS might
soon be discovered.
     Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Tuner at 54 is still singing in abundance (丰富)
and attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.
     Comedian George Burns, in his 90s, wants to perform at Caesar"s Palace when he turns 100.
     Success does not belong only to the rich and famous. It should be the goal of everyone. Many
successful people have had humble beginnings.
     Would you believe that actress Michelle Pfeifer of Cat was a supermarket checkout girl?
     At work, we strive for achievement, too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively
and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it worthwhile.
     Often, it is the inner thrill (一阵激动) and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may be.
     Aiming for success doesn"t mean you are greedy or dissatisfied. It is all part of gaining new experiences.
It ultimately (最终) makes you a more interesting and useful person in society.
     The journey to success has its road blocks, discouragement and distractions. It takes great resourcefulness
and achievement to overcome obstacles and setbacks to move on successfully.

     以下是几个寓意和寓言,第1至5题是有关的信息,请从A、B、C、D、E和F中为它
们选出最合适的项目。选项中有一项是多余选项。
1. ______We pay more attention to what we want to hear. (Bad news travels fast. / Bad news has
wings.)
2. ______Know which way the wind blows. (People act according to their interests.)
3. ______No act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted. (An act of kindness is never wasted. /

     A. A dog used to run up quietly to the heels of everyone he met, and to bite them without notice. His
master put a bell about his neck so that the dog might give notice of his presence wherever he went.
Thinking it a mark of distinction, the dog grew proud of his bell and went tinkling it all over the
market-place. One day an old dog said to him, "Why do you make such an exhibition of yourself? That
bell that you carry is not, believe me, any order of merit, but on the contrary a public notice to all men to
avoid you as a bad-mannered dog."
     B. A man once stood up at a market-place in the east and said, "I have been ordered by the king to
collect all the well-born and well-bred and bring them before him, since he wishes to reward them."
Everybody that heard him joined him, and he went towards the palace, surrounded by the whole town.
Then he suddenly turned round and said, "The king has just sent me word that he means to help only
those that have been ill-born and ill-bred to make up for their misfortunes." The crowd lingered behind
for a while, and then one after another joined the man as ill-born and ill-bred to receive the king"s gifts.
The man said, "The world goes as the wind blows!"
     C. A lion was awakened by a mouse running over his face. Rising up angrily, the lion caught the
mouse and was about to kill him, when the mouse begged, "If you would only spare my life, I would be
sure to repay your kindness." The lion laughed at the idea of the mouse being able to repay a favor, but
let him go in the end. Later, the lion was caught by some hunters, who bound him with strong ropes to
the ground. The mouse, recognizing the lion"s roar, came and gnawed the rope with his teeth and set him
free.
     D. A fox had long been the dread of the village poultry yard. One day, he was found lying breathless
in a field. The report went abroad that, after all, he had been caught and killed by someone. In a moment,
everybody in the village came out to see the dead fox. The village cock, with all his hens and chicks, was
also there, to enjoy the sight. The fox then got up and said, "I ate a number of hens and chicks last night.
So I must have slept longer than usual." The cock counted his hens and chicks, and found several chicks
were missing. "Alas!" said he, "how is it that I do not know of it?" "My dear sir," said the fox, as he ran
back to the wood, "it was last night that I had a good meal of your hens and chicks, yet you did not
know of it. A moment ago they found me lying in the field, and you knew of it at once."
     E. A boy put his hand into a pitcher (大罐) full of nuts. He grasped as many as he could possibly
hold, but when he tried to pull out his hand, he was prevented from doing so by the neck of the pitcher.
Unwilling to lose his nuts, and yet unable to withdraw his hand, he burst into tears, crying with
disappointment. A person who was passing by said to him, "Be satisfied with half the quantity and you
will draw out your hand at once."
     F. A man wished to purchase an ass (a donkey), and decided to give the animal a test before buying
him. He took the ass home and put him in the field with his other asses. The new ass moved away from
the others to join the one that was the laziest and the biggest eater of them all. Seeing this, the man led
him back to his owner. When the owner asked how he could have tested the ass in such a short time,
the man answered, "I didn"t even need to see how he worked. I knew he would be just like the one he
chose to be his friend."

                                                          Weight-consciousness
     For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.    
     Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing their body will fix everything.
Perhaps their worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being
cherished. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last ,we find ourselves there.      
     But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be
different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting
happiness, self-worth, and of course, love.    
     It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty
standards vary with cultures. InSamoa, a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs morethan
200 pounds. More importantly, if it"s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on
the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive (努力 ,奋斗 ) hard to change our body,
but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with others and
cherish ourselves.When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.

1. The passage tries to make the readers realize the importance of      _________.    
A. the body size    
B. cultural differences    
C. the attitude toward life    
D. different beauty standards 
2. The underlined word " everything" in the second paragraph    means"_______".   
A. all the problems    
B. all the efforts    
C. the whole world    
D. the total truth
3. What can be inferred about the author?   
A. The author is a Samoan.    
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.    
C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.    
D. The author once was troubled by her/his weight.
4. According to the author, the common view of those who lost some    weight first and gained it back later is that______.    
A. they feel angry about the regained weight    
B. they don"t care about the regained weight    
C. they feel optimistic about future plans on weight control    
D. they think they should give up their future plans on weight control
