• 2．Each of us has dreams and goals for our future.What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal.
        But why do you have dreams and goals，you still end up with nothing？What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent action.When you learn your lessons in school，you must work hard and not give up.You will often find some of your lessons very hard.Try and keep trying，and you'll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with.If we have a hard lesson today，let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.
         This is the famous formula（公式） for success：
         Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Achieve
         Most people have what they want （Dream） and think they can realize their dreams （Believe） .And then they do nothing.They just imagine their dreams can come true.When they get tired waiting and lose a lot，they get bored.They say angrily how terrible their life is.
         I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life，you have to add one thing to your success formula：
         Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve
         For me，act is the most important thing for success and that's to Take Persistent Action （Act）.If you say，"I can't do it" and give up，you can never do anything valuable.However，"I'll try" creates wonders.Let's remember that there will be obstacles in our life.We must face them bravely and solve them.Success is not something that falls down from the sky.Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.
         Please remember：Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.
  （1）What should you do when you find your lessons very hard？

  
  A．Ask people for help.
  B．Try and keep trying.
  C．Get ready to create wonders.
  D．Prepare for a harder one.
  （2）Which does the writer add to the famous formula？

  
  A．Act.
  B．Achieve.
  C．Connect.
  D．Create.
  （3）What does the underlined word "obstacles" mean？

  
  A．Dangers.
  B．Imaginations.
  C．Wonders.
  D．Difficulties.
  （4）Why does the writer use the formula "Dream ＞ Believe ＞ Act ＞ Achieve"？

  
  A．To support his idea.
  B．To ask readers to explain it.
  C．To show what his goals are.
  D．To compare it with a bridge.

• 3．Once upon a time there was a happy paper doll that had no face.His whole body was perfectly cut out and painted，except for his face.However，he had a pencil so he could choose whatever face he wanted to have.How lucky!He then spent all day asking everyone he met， "What's a perfect face like？"
        "One with a big beak （鸟嘴）" answered the birds.
        "No.Not one with a beak，" said the trees. "The perfect face is full of leaves."
        "Forget the beak and the leaves，" said the flowers. "If you want a perfect face，you fill it with colors."
        The doll followed their advice.However，it turned out that nobody liked it.And now he couldn't erase it!"I only wanted a face that everyone would like，" he cried."And now look，what a disaster （灾难）!"
         A small cloud heard his cries and came to him，"I think I can help you.As I'm a cloud，I can make any face you like.What do you think about me changing faces until there's one that you like？I'm sure we can fix you a little bit."
        The doll again felt hopeful.The cloud made all kinds of faces for him.But none of them was perfect enough.
         "Never mind，" said the doll. "you've been a great friend."He gave her a big hug and the cloud smiled from ear to ear，happy at having helped.Just then the doll cried excitedly，"That's it!That's the face I want!It's a perfect face!"
         "Which one？" asked the cloud."But I haven't done anything."
         "Yes，yes you have!It's that face you make when I hug you!"
         The cloud finally realized that he was talking about her big smile.And together they took the pencil and drew the paper doll a big smile，ten times better than beaks，colors and leaves.And that face was indeed the only one that everyone liked because it had the secret ingredient （成分） for perfect faces：a big smile that could never be erased.

• 4．A myth（传说）is something that is not correct，but many people believe.There are a lot of myths about the human brain.
     One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains.The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains，we'll be much smarter.People say this all the time，but it's not true!The truth is that although we don't know everything about the human brain，we know that each part of it has an important function （功能）.Modem scientists think the"10 percent myth"ridiculous （荒谬的）.
     The other most popular myth is about being"right brained" or "left brained".According to this myth，people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative.People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science.

     It's true that we use different parts of our brains for different things.We use our left side for language more，and our right side when we need to pay attention.But there is no evidence （证据） that creative people use the right side more，or that scientific people use the left side more.
     We've talked about myths，so let's look at a few interesting facts about the brain.First of all，the brain feels no pain.Second，about 75 percent of the brain is made of water.It's also the fattest organ （器官） in your body.Here' s one more interesting fact about the brain.Around the time you turn 18 years old，it stops growing.

  C．Jenny，who is creative.
  D．Jacob，who is good at maths.
  （3）Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain？

  C．Some parts of it are not used at all.
