A

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏表演）. One family between us and the ticket counter made a big impression(印象) on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of 12. Their clothes were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands.

The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly said, “Please let me buy eight children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”

The ticket lady told him the price. The wife’s head dropped, and the man’s lip began to quiver (抖动). The father asked, “How much did you say?”

The ticket lady told him the price again.

The man didn’t have enough money.

Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand into his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground (We were not wealthy either). My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”

The man knew what was going on. He wasn’t begging for money but certainly thanked the help in a difficult, embarrassing situation. He looked straight into my dad’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, and with a tear streaming down his cheek, he replied, “Thank you, sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.”

My father and I went back to our car and drove home. We didn’t go to the circus that night, but we didn’t go without.

If you know the tale（故事） of the hare（野兔） and the tortoise（乌龟）.you’ll remember that the tortoise won the race against the hare. In this age of speed with immediate Internet communication and fast travel, it’s time to just slow down the pace(步伐）.

Slow food

The slow food movement began in Italy in the mid-1980s because some people thought that fast food culture was causing the traditional Italian way of life to disappear. The movement believes that we should enjoy mealtimes as a pleasure while also understand more about where your food comes from. A key approach（方法） to slow food is taking your time when eating. For example, by waking up ten minutes earlier than usual you have more time to get ready so you don’t have to rush your breakfast.

Slow exercise

Measured exercises such as yoga(瑜伽) are relaxing and focus on(关注) breathing. Deep breathing is a good way to help you feel calm. Try slowing your breathing down to 10-12 deep breaths every minute. Breathe in slowly and deeply into the bottom of your lungs (肺）. Stop for a moment, and then breathe out slowly. As you breathe out, allow your body to relax.

Slow communication

The wide use of the Internet has meant communication has never been faster. We are able to send an email to someone of the other side of the world as quickly as to the person sitting next to us. While this change is unbelievable, the amount of information we receive each day through mobiles and the Internet can be distracting (令人分心的). There was a time when people didn’t spend most of their time checking mobiles and emails. Try turning your mobile off sometimes to take some time to relax. Having the time to really listen to a friend or loved one helps improve your relationship (关系).

24. The tale of the hare and the tortoise is mentioned to show .

A. it’s necessary to take things slow in one’s life

B. speed plays the most important role in a race

C. you have to use tricks in order to win

D. we should learn a lesson from the tale

25. Why did the slow food movement start?

A. To protect people from the harm of fast food.

B. To prevent some old traditions from disappearing.

C. To correct some people’s wrong ideas about health.

D. To help people develop a good work and rest habit.

26. In the passage, yoga is suggested as a way of exercise because .

A. it can greatly improve our physical health

B. it’s very relaxing and helps us calm down

C. it takes less time and space

D. it doesn’t need any skills

27. The writer may NOT agree with the idea that .

A. mobiles and emails are wasting much of our time

B. a face-to-face talk is better than one over the phone

C. the Internet also makes communication inconvenient

D. turning the mobile off can also make us feel relaxed

C

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境) don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction(沉溺), and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent(经常的), hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become rally good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

28. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about__________.

A. the reasons for success B. the meaning of success

C. the standards(标准) of success D. the importance of success

29. In paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to__________.

A. being good at something B. setting a practical goal

C. putting in more time D. succeeding in life

30. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____________.

A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work
