As the tables were not dry, the man told us to wait a few days. But I was just so and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a carrying my table.

When I was it in the dormitory, Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand it, she noticed that it was still wet.

“Were you to bring this home?” she asked.

“No, ma’ma,”I with my head down.

She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I opened the door to get it back. There was stuck all over. I brushed and cried.

I hid the table in my closet and never it. After cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管員), thinking that she would it away.

Thirty years later at a reunion, I that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her to get something. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.

A. Get started!

B. Forget your failures.

C. Find and use your positive voice.

D. Think about how far you have come.

E. Spend time with people who inspire you.

F. Accept failure as a positive learning experience.

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things. You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything. This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action. Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.

1.________

This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help. Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help. Only doing actually helps get everything going. So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you. Not starting is failing. Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.” And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.

2. ________

Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident. You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice. A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.

Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it. See what effect it has. Persist with this kind of positivity and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.

3. ________

There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you. They are smart and can always encourage you to be better. Study their qualities. Study their habits. Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to. Compare stories, successes and failures. Let their inner light guide you.

4.________

You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it. Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done. Think about it. Write down your past successes. Consider using a journal to keep track of them. You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results. It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come. Be happy with your progress and move on.

5. ________

Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process. Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime. When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it. Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent. And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success. Push through!

On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City．

If you have ever been to a Perlman concert，you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him．He was stricken with polio (小兒麻痹癥) as a child，and so he has braces (支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches (雙拐)．

He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair．Then he sits down，slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs，tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward．Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin，nods to the conductor and proceeds to play．

But this time，something went wrong．Just as he finished the first few bars (小節(jié))，one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap (嘣斷) --- it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do．

We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.

The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before．

When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered．He smiled，wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quit us，and then he said in a quiet tone．“You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.’’

1.By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means .

A．it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings

B．it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled

C．it’s not easy for ltzhak Perlman to face such a large audience

D．it’s really great achievements for ltzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings

2.Itzhak Perlman when one of the strings of the violin broke．

A．gave up playing

B．didn’t know what to do

C．went on playing the same piece of music

D．went on playing a different piece of music

3.Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ．

A．clever B．strong willed

C．humorous D．quite skilled

People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.

In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state. “Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car.”The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.

Cars have become much more fuel-efficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer, said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes.” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars. The systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.

“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,” Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. “It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first.”

Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?

A. Driverless vehicles are now legal in the whole USA.

B. Volvo will be the first to sell driverless cars.

C. Google’s self-driving cars have covered a long distance.

D. Driverless cars are pointing us a faraway future.

2.We learn that Governor of California Jerry Brown_________.

A. helped design self-driving cars.

B. supports self-driving cars on roads.

C. considers self-driving cars science fiction.

D. improved the self-driving car systems.

3.According to Richard Mason, what is the biggest challenge for driverless cars?

A. They are now too expensive for consumers.

B. Their technical problems remain to be solved.

C. They are not allowed to run on the road.

D. They are more dangerous for people on the street.

4.What's the best title of the passage?

A. The benefits of the self-driving cars.

B. The biggest challenge of the self-driving cars.

C. Self-driving cars-science fiction future is near.

D. Safer or more dangerous-self-driving cars.
