21、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 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, 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 meaning of success
B．the reasons for success
C．the standards of success
D．the importance of success
【2】Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A．work makes one feel pain
B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．it takes a lot of time to succeed
D．one gives up his work easily
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
B．Successful people like to show their great skills.
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．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
D．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
22、 Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old girl who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of pants, four pairs of shoes and a few other things. 【1】 Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothing and handbags.
But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a blogger in the United States who was promoting a minimalist lifestyle (极简生活方式).He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings to fewer than 100. Lin decided to give it a try.
【2】 She also deleted 120 contacts she never spoke to from her social networking account. After doing all that, Lin said she felt “lighter”.
We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people tend to believe that the opposite is also true - and perhaps truer.【3】These people are making the statement: “I can afford to have less.”
But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn’t mean spending less. A report by UK market research company Euromonitor found young Chinese people spend less on possessions, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies. 【4】
【5】 Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about learning more and experiencing more?
A.She got rid of 90 percent of her stuff.
B.They are looking for a life that is all about culture.
C.So perhaps it all comes down to how we define “rich”.
D.It was a challenge she took part in five years ago that changed her life.
E.Do you know what is rich in life?
F.It’s hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn't stop buying stuff.
G.People who are educated and well-off are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle.
23、 The city of San Francisco is home to some of the nation's largest technology companies, including Twitter and Uber. At the same time, it has one of the largest homeless populations in the country. Homelessness and unemployment for local people continue to rise. But one program is helping connect the two worlds for these poor job seekers. Del Seymour created the program. He was once homeless himself.
Seymour spent years in a neighborhood known as the Tenderloin, an area with an extremely high rate of homelessness and unemployment. However, in recent years, large companies like Twitter and Uber have moved in or near the Tenderloin area. They started importing people from other regions countries to work in the neighborhood.
Seymour started making phone calls to technology companies. He thought it was unfair for the companies to ignore local people, including homeless ones. "You're not going to come in my neighborhood and ignore my people, "he said. “You' re going to include us in your business.”
To everyone's surprise, the companies started answering. As a result, Seymour started Code Tenderloin, an organization that is giving the homeless and other needy people a path to employment, including jobs in technology companies. It offers classes in coding for computer languages. It also gives six-week training classes in job readiness. The class teaches students public speaking, resume building, interviewing and other skills. Code Tenderloin’s students visit technology companies to meet people, ask questions and learn from employees. Although only a small number of students have found full-time technology jobs, many others have got internships(实习) through the program. And many others have found other full-time jobs.
【1】What has happened to the Tenderloin in recent years?

C.A learning path. D.A job.
24、 As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆)”
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
【1】What can we learn about the first experiment?
A.Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C.The first group did not try to remember the information.
D.The second group did not understand the information.
【2】In transactive memory, people ___.
A.keep the information in mind
B.change the quantity of information
C.organize information like a computer
D.remember how to find the information
【3】What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?
A.We are using memory differently.
B.We are becoming more intelligent.
C.We have poorer memories than before.
D.We need a better way to access information.
