Author Napoleon Hill said, “____ is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, ____ a strong desire which transcends (超越) everything.” He is really ____ a deep thirst.
Alan C. Elliott tells in his book A Daily Does of the American Dream about a five-year study that was undertaken to ____ what made some people extraordinarily successful. The study consisted of detailed research into the ____ of 120 of the nation’s top artists, athletes, and scholars.
He reports that the researcher was ____ to find that natural abilities played only a small part in the ____ of those individuals. But research found that they ____ a powerful thirst to succeed.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people.We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke(破产)".And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
小题1:The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that      
A.he is just one of the talented people
B.he is ready to help others
C.he has a sharp sense of hearing
D.he knows little about car repairing
小题2:The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____   
A.spend more than they can afford
B.1ive within what they earn
C.1ive in their own circle
D.do in their own way
小题3:Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A.They don’t work hard enough.
B.They have no specialized skills.
C.They don't make full use of their talents.
D.They lack financial intelligence.
小题4:The main purpose of the author is to tell us____      
A.how young people can find a satisfactory job
B.What schools should teach about finance
C.why so many talented people are poor
D.how McDonald's makes much money

Most glasses help people see better, but a new invention from Japan may soon improve language skills and   language barriers instead.
High-tech Company NEC has   a device that it says will   users to communicate with people of different   .
Shaped like a pair of eyeglasses   without the lenses(镜片), the computer-assisted Tele Scouter would   a picture-forming device to present almost real-time translations directly onto the   retina(视网膜). The text, provided instantly      voice recognition and   programs, would effectively provide movie-like “subtitles” (字幕) during a conversation between two people   the glasses.
“You can keep the   flowing,” NEC market development official Takayuki Omino told reporters at Tokyo exposition (展览会)   the device was on display. “This could also be used for talks     with secret information,” says Omino, stating that there would be no      for translators.
Each user’s   words would be   by microphone, translated, and be instantly   for conversation partners in   visual text and as audio delivered through headphones.
Users can still see their conversation partner’s face because the text is   onto only part of the retina—the first time such technology is used in a commercial product, according to NEC.
The company plans to put the Tele Scouter in Japan in November next year,    at the beginning without the translation mode.

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is    1  .
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve    2   what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will    3   make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different    4 , or forget about it and    5  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively    6  life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first    7  is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to    8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should    9   that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious    10   are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are   11   to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our   12   has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should    13  this truth: if you choose to find the   14   in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed.

Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by --- the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
