【題目】】閱讀理解。

Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player of all time. Once he was making a television commercial (廣告). All Michael needed to do in the advertisement was to miss a shot.

For Michael, this was difficult. He had conditioned himself to succeed whenever he was throwing the ball. Every time he threw a basketball, it went in. Every time he tried to miss a shot, he failed. In total, it took him over 20 attempts (嘗試) before he missed a shot.

For Michael, success is a strong habit. He had formed a habit that was so strong that it took him a lot of time to break it and “fail”.

Just like drinking, smoking and collecting things, success is also a habit. The only thing is, it is much more effective!

Like all habits, once it is established (建立), it is difficult to break.

Many people think that success is difficult to maintain (維持). They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus. The truth is that it is simply a habit, and as easy to maintain as any other habit.

Spend some time making success a habit in your life. Once you have developed it, it is not something you will want to change again. Then, the only thing you will fail at is failing.

【1】Why did Jordan attempt 20 times before he missed a shot in the advertisement?

A. Because he didn’t work hard enough.

B. Because he was not careful enough.

C. Because he was too tired.

D. Because success was a strong habit for him.

【2】What do many people wrongly think of success?

A. They think it is easy to maintain.

B. They think it needs too much action and focus.

C. They think it is impossible to establish the habit of success.

D. They think it doesn’t require too much work.

【3】What does the writer want to tell us?

A. We should never miss a shot.

B. Trying to fail is necessary.

C. We should make success a habit.

D. Success is not easy to achieve.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 【1】 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 【2】

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 【3】 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

【4】 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 【5】 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C. Everyone was new to the network once.

D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.
