Four Habits to Help You Succeed

We all want to succeed, whether it’s in losing weight or learning the guitar. For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed where another person fails? 1.

1. Identify your core values.

Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation. 2.Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.

2. Pick a goal and focus on it.

Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of achievement, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here. 3.If you perform many tasks at a time, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.

3. Set a deadline for success.

Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. 4.By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

4.5.

Failure can’t be avoided when you take risks. By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and move on!

A. Stick to your goal.

B. Make the right decision.

C. I’ve made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.

D. Sit and reflect on what you value most.

E. Keep it realistic, while not giving you too much time.

F. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.

G. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.

One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

1.The passage tells us that .

A. people seldom work long hours to make money

B. people hardly buy more things than necessary

C. people are sure everything they own is in the right place

D. people realize there is more to life than just making money

2.Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.

A. was easy to organize B. has improved family life

C. was extremely expensive D. has been a total success

3.What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?

A. People work long hours to earn their living.

B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life.

C. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.

D. People spent too much time and money eating meals.

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected . Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting（節(jié)食）.

Breakfast simply means “break the fast”. Your body spends at least 6 to 12 hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy for the day’s work ahead.

A good breakfast should provide up to1/3 of your total calories needs for the day. On average（平均）, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner. If breakfast doesn’t attract you in the morning, try eating a lighter for the breakfast in the morning.

If you aren’t hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a nutritious (有營養(yǎng)的) mid-morning snack alter when you are hungry.

So, you say you’re on a diet. Some people fear eating breakfast will make them hungrier during the day and they will eat more. It is true that eating breakfast is likely to make you eat more. That’s because your body is working all day long , in fact, you are probably not.

Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later. To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state it will not be able to burn those extra calories very quickly. If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals through the day, you are less likely to become hungry and fill yourself as soon as you begin to eat. Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important. The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as bread, rice, noodles, and cereals.(谷物)。

A. Their time is limited. B. They want to lose weight.

科目：高中英語 來源：河北省2017屆高三第十次調(diào)研A卷（課標版卷）英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

I have received many Christmas gifts over the years. The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.

I hate Black Friday sales. It’s often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”

It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child’s bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.

As the number of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(帶有柳釘?shù)钠? around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(紋身) were an obvious love of his.

I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏見) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.

1.What may be the best title of the passage?

A. The Best Christmas Gift.

B. A Child’s Bike.

C. Black Friday Sales.

D. A Handsome Stranger.

2.Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?

A. Because they can make money.

B. Because they hope to find a bargain.

C. Because it’s a way to celebrate Christmas.

D. Because it’s a place to get things free of charge.

3.What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3?

A. devote

B. solve

C. buy

D. save

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. All roads lead to Rome.

B. It’s never too old to study.

C. You cannot clap with one hand.

D. Men cannot be judged by their appearances

From his own version of Kim Kardashian's "Internet-breaking" picture to rocking the "Leia Buns"look,Mark Udovitch,28,hopes his celebrity impersonations (名人模仿) will help raise money for cancer patients.

Dressed in a garbage bag,black cleaning gloves and a plastic bag tie,the recreation (娛樂) of Kim Kardashion's picture is one of Mark's favorite celebrity impersonations.

4 Important Reasons to Raise Your Children Around Animals

http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/why-it-is-important-to-raise-kids-around-animals/

If you have a love for animals, chances are that you want your children to have that love too. 1. And getting along with animals is a great learning experience too. Starting that kind of bond with animals while your children are young is really important for many reasons and here are just some of them.

1. Increase empathy (移情) and compassion(同情心)

Children that are raised around animals are more likely to develop good qualities. They are learning to care about something with positive attention and responsibility. Additionally, animals are empathetic and compassionate themselves. Through their own love and caring, they teach their own lessons to our children.2.

2. Provide opportunity for responsibility

As children grow up with an animal, they learn to be more responsible. 3. They can help feed the fish or walk the family dog.

3. 4.

A recently published article shows that children can improve their reading skills while reading to the family pet. This might be because animals are such patient and kind creatures that help lower stress.

4. Give unbeatable comfort during hard times

Life is not always easy. 5. When there is a family pet, that pet is always there for the family to offer comfort. That pet keeps his company when your child feels lonely. Sometimes it is that silent hug and constant companionship that make children feel alright again with the stresses that come into their lives.

A. Pets increase reading success

B. Sometimes bad things happen.

C. Some people are cruel to animals.

D. Animals are great friends to people of all ages.

E. This way children will learn to respect animals.

F. Hopefully, you can feel pity for the homeless animals.

G. They must take on duties in order to care for that animal.
