    I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 1._I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying “thank you.”

    At first I was paid in candy. 2. I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 3.

    By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 4.

    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 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 be 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, 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, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

    1. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.

    A. the reasons for success

    B. the meaning of success

    C. the standards of success

    D. the importance of success

    2.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

    3.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

    A. Successful people like to show their great skills.

    B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

    C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

    D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

    4.What is the main theme of the passage?

    A. Having a goal is vital to success.

    B. Being good is different from being great.

    C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.

    D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.

    You surely want to take a good school yearbook photo, for you only get to do it once, and it’s what people remember you by for the whole school year. Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips.

    1. Practice smiling in a mirror. It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera does need a little preparation. Don’t be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera —hold your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile. Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face.

    2. Choose your color wisely. In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker colors because they draw attention to the face. Generally, white often isn’t the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if you’re pale. Besides, stay away from super(超级的)-bright colors ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless you’re really sure they make you look perfect.

    3. Avoid unnecessary details. Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile. Save them for your everyday fashion experiments. Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken. The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that it’s in the laundry.

    4. Avoid big changes to your appearance. Big changes may not turn out the way you hope. Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳头) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken. Don’t overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the "less is more" approach.

    1.The best title of this passage is ______.

    A. How to Make Yourself Look Good

    B. How to Do When Taking a School Photo

    C. How to Get Ready for Your School Photo-taking

    D. How to Make a Good School Photo Book

    2.A bright yellow shirt is not a good choice for taking photos because _______.

    A. it reflects light with the brightness

    B. it makes people look gray and pale

    C. it draws more attention than the face

    D. it suits nobody in front of a camera

    3.The underlined part "less is more" in the last paragraph means _______.

    A. common hair style is more attractive than the over-done

    B. simple hair style makes your face more attractive

    C. spending less time on hair makes you look more attractive

    D. combing the hair up right costs less time but means more

    4.During the preparation for photo-taking ______.

    A. a camera is needed

    B. clothes should be in the laundry

    C. fashion should be perfectly showed

    D. big changes are not needed

    There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.

    Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12

    Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.

    Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13

    This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.

    Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older

    If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.

    Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12

    If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.

    When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines, Iowa, he told me about the only time he had been there. It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor in the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn’t afford the operation because her family was poor.

    Her mother ran a boarding house in Galveston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O. Henry expert at Columbia University in New York, who authenticated the story as O. Henry’s.

    My father then set out to sell it. Eventfully, he found himself in Des Moines, meeting with Gardner Cowles, a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loves the story and bought it on the spot. My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed.

    My father never told me what the O. Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story.

    1.Who discovered the O. Henry’s manuscript?

    A. The girl’s mother. B. The author’s father.

    C. The girl. D. The author.

    2.Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic?

    A. O. Henry once worked in Houston.

    B. O. Henry once stayed in Galveston.

    C. O. Henry once moved to Des Moines.

    D. O. Henry once taught at SMU.

    3.The underlined word “authenticated” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.

    A. named B. treated C. proved D. Described
