In his best-selling book The Power of Positive Thinking published in 1952, he believed ordinary people like you could become remarkable when starting thinking to do some things, and when believing in yourselves!If you look back on history, you'll see many examples of ordinary people who have achieved unusual results. Many of the bestiknown people, who have left their marks in the pages of history, also failed many times on their climb up the ladder. These people had something in common. They had self-confidence as well as perseverance（毅力）in achieving their goals. Most successful people have a "can do“ attitude（态度）.While failure is always possible, they face failure bravely with positive attitudes.Above all, you must have a goal clearly in mind. You, and only you, can decide where you want to go on your travel through life. But you can't sit on the top of a hill and think pleasant thoughts all day. You have to come down to the real world and set your goal with a plan of action, and follow it.While things come up to delay you at times, you mustn't give up your goals. You must be organized and have a system in place to meet your goals.If you are fired with enthusiastic ideas and allow them to control your thoughts, you will find that new horizons will open. As long as your enthusiasm lasts, so will new opportunities. Don't wait for the world to beat a path to your door - It won't. Remember, failure is just a stepping stone on your road to success. As one of his famous quotes says, change your thoughts and you change your world! If you exercise positive thinking, you'll reach your goal!4. Why did all the remarkable people succeed?A.

Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the text?A. The power of perseverance. B. The importance of setting goals.C. Thinking positively leads to success. D. Failure is the mother of success.（C）As summer comes near, many children are really happy to forget about school for a few months. However, they might be taking that goal too seriously. Studies have found that children typically forget between one and three months9 worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities suffer the most, while reading is not really influenced by the time off.The original purpose of summer vacations was to let farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid（合理的）since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States such as Los Angeles, have moved to a year-round school calendar, which may help reduce the academic（学业的）decline that occurs during the long summer vacation. Most cities maintain the normal nine-and-ahalfmonth calendars. To improve skills and to maintain a good level of preparation, educators recommend trips to museums, summer camps, vacations with educational components, and visits to libraries to keep kids mentally alert（机敏的）and interested throughout the summer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students' skills sharp. For example, in Japan students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues throughout the year. In Italy, students attend classes six days per week, but finish at 1:30 p.m. each day, so that school does not dominate their life the way, that it does in America, where students attend high school from 7:45 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. each week day.School administrators and educational specialists fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students become used to new math equations（公式）or new concepts in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, they "shut down- for an extended period. When they go back to school after the long summer vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of proficiency（熟练）.And to the debate continues: whether to continue the present situation in terms of vacations or to seek changes based on the Los Angeles or the Japanese models.8. Which of the following is obviously affected by summer vacations?A. Students7 learning methods. B. Students9 academic ability.C. Schools9 teaching schedule. D. Schools, teaching activities.9. What can be inferred about the year-round school calendar?A. It involves shorter school vacations. B. It has a bad influence on agriculture.C. It increases students9 interest in learning. D. It encourages students to join summer camps.10. Compared to American students nowadays, students in Japan and Italy.A. have extended learning time B. have longer summer vacationsC. may not suffer from summer learning loss D. do not need to work on farms on vacations11. What does the underlined phrase "shut down“ in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Get sick. B. Get depressed. C. Stop learning. D. Lose self-confidence.（D）The sudden death of the 23-year-old female employee of Pinduoduo has sparked a heated debate, with many criticizing the overwork culture. Three experts share their views. Excerpts（节选）follow:Labor laws compatible （兼容的）with digital era neededThis case should inspire society to reflect on how to better protect employees9 rights in the digital era.
