For this month’s Young World magazine, I interviewed 19-year-old Asian pop star Candy Wang. Candy told me that she used to be really shy and took up singing to deal with her shyness. As she got better, she dared to sing in front of her class, and then for the whole school. Now she’ s not shy anymore and loves singing in front of crowds. I asked Candy how life was different after she became famous. She explained that there are many good things, like being able to travel and meet new people all the time. “I didn’t use to be popular in school, but now I get tons of attention everywhere I go. ” However, too much attention can also be a bad thing. “I always have to worry about how I appear to others and I have to be very careful about what I say or do. And I don’t have much private time anymore. 74. 對我來說和朋友閑逛是不可能的now because there are always guards around me. ” What does Candy have to say to all those young people who want to become famous? “Well, ” she begins slowly, “you have to be prepared to give up your normal life. You can never imagine how difficult the road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed. 75.Only a very small number of people make it to the top.

1.How old is Candy Wang?

2.What did she use to be like?

3.Why did she take up singing?

閱讀下列短文, 從每小題的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

One day a man found a cocoon(蠶) of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly, a small opening appeared and the butterfly made its great effort(努力) to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.（那個蛹好象忘記了它該怎樣做, 也好象停止了掙扎）.

So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly would come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling(爬) around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.

The man was in his kindness, but he didn’t understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid(液體) from its body must be forced into its wings, and then would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle(拼搏) to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been, we could never fly.

1. What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?

A. It was trying to make a cocoon for it self.

B. It was crawling around quietly on the ground.

C. It was flying among the trees in the forest.

D. It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.

2. The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon in order to __________.

A. take the butterfly home

B. help the butterfly come out easily

C. kill the butterfly

D. stop the butterfly growing bigger

3. What do you think of the man?

A. Patient but cruel B. Careful and wise

C. Kind but unwise D. Brave and funny

4. What does the last paragraph (段落) tell us?

A. Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life.

B. Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it.

C. Every good deed will come back with good result.

D. The greatest happiness in the world is to help others.

5. What is the best title of the story?

A. The Love for the Cocoon.

B. The Joy of Helping Each Other.

C. The Lesson of the Cocoon.

D. The Expectation (期待) for the Butterfly

科目：初中英語 來源：2016屆北京門頭溝區(qū)初三上期末考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and conditions are not important because they really are. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great abilities, and that’s just how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually put it into practice. What’s more, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, the time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like great pain and will probably make you give up well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people showing some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some unusual talent, but thinking that way does you no good，and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, with all your heart and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards(回報). Time and hard work won’t make sure that you will get the great success you may want, but it will make sure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

1.Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.

A. the reasons for success

B. the meaning of success

C. the standards of success

D. the importance of success

2.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.

A. work makes one feel pain

B. one always enjoys his work

C. one gives up his work easily

D. it takes a lot of time to succeed

3.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Having a goal is very important to success.

B. Being good is different from being great.

C. One cannot succeed without time and practice.

D. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
