Passage 1

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage

Youth is not a matter of time but a matter of self-improvement, both physically and morally. Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth.

No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners.

So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don’t like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one’s country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.

Passage 2

Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals; success belongs to those who are willing to go after it. Success belongs to those who are willing to look fear in the face, eyeball to eyeball, and then do what they have to do. Success belongs to those who realize that there is something more important than their fear.

“Desire is the key to motivation…” Desire is the longing to achieve a vision; without desire you have nothing. If you’ve lost your vision, or if your desire is not strong, work to clarify your vision, use pictures, write the vision down. Habakkuk said, “Write the vision, and make it plain.” Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, it must be clear, it must be exciting.

“Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.” You can’t get your dream job, if you’re scared to turn in an application. You won’t get the sale, if you don’t try. Showing up doesn’t guarantee success, but rest assured if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed. When it comes to your dreams, and the things you desire to achieve in this life, you have to show up.

Thomas J. Watson said, “Would you like me to give you a formula (公式) for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can.

Because remember that’s where you will find success.” Never fear failure, it is failure that will bring you success. Embrace failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.

Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do, it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to create.

It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that cause success.

Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change…you will change, you will succeed.

16. If you want to succeed, you should ________.

A. make efforts to achieve it

B. be a special person

C. face it with fear

D. do everything important

17. What’s Habakkuk’s opinion?
