25、   I didn’t just want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.

Deep, deep down ask yourself: “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself: “What makes you happy?”

You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be liked and avoid trouble?

We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.

I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that it couldn’t be done. They said: “Look at this body, you have this huge body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.

Then I got my big break (重大转机) in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.

On that movie the director said: “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said: “I’ll be back…” One of the most famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent (腔调). It just shows you that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.

Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed (吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.

—By Arnold Schwarzenegger—

【2】We know from his speech that Schwarzenegger is ________.

A.stubborn and arrogant (傲慢的) B.patient and reliable (可靠的)

A.think while standing outside the box instead of inside the box

B.think about the outside world in an open way

C.go outside to see the outside world

D.think in a creative and unusual way

【4】In his speech, Schwarzenegger mainly suggests that people should ________.

26、 On August 14, 2011. Russia showed an unusual plan. They wanted to build a hotel in space about 217 miles up. This hotel will hold seven guests in four cabins (客舱). And it has huge windows for views (景色) of the earth turning below. A guest will pay £100,000 for a five-day stay and £500,000 for the journey.

The space hotel will be open by 2016. At that time, it will be “far more comfortable” than the International Space Station.

There are two kinds of beds for guests to choose, one is vertical (垂直的) and the other is horizontal (水平的). Guests can take showers in a special room so that the water can’t go everywhere.

The waiters in the hotel have rich experience. They will prepare food on earth for tourists. Iced tea and fruit juice will be served. Toilets will use flowing air instead of water to move the waste through the system. Waste water will be recycled and the air will be cleaned and then returned to the cabin.
