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(bào))． 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．

Is the Mobile Phone a Must-have for Teenagers?

Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their mobile phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a café or simply walking down the street.With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on the mobile phones. How does the use of mobile phones affect(影響) the young? Do they really need mobile phones or not? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject.

Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? William, a parent of two kids, says, "The great thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolitemessages to each other." Some parents have rules about their children's mobile phone and internet usage. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents.

In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school,but they are not allowed to use them in class. Some teachers complain(抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don't listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the internet, chat with friends or so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and surf the internet, which is very convenient(方便). Some consider phones as a kind of fashion(時(shí)尚) and they don't want others to see them as "out" or "different".

It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This form of technology makes teenagers' life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. Increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones —put them away and experience “the real life”. In fact it can be very easy—next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill!

Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don't let your phone become more important than the “real”people in your “real”life.

1.The mobile phones will probably be kept by parents if the teenagers________.

A．go out with classmates and friends and pay the bill

B．search for a lot of important information and keep it

C．take them to school and look up new words after class

D．send impolitemessages and surf the Internet too much

2.According to the passage which of the following is true?

A．All students consider mobile phones as a kind of fashion.

B．Teachers allow students to use mobile phones in class in the UK.

C．Parents often count how many young people are using mobile phones.

D．More and more scientists think people need a break from mobile phones.

3.What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A．Schools should stop students from taking their phones to school.

B．The mobile phone is the most important invention in modern life.

C．Mobile phones are useful but teenagers shouldn’t totally depend on them.

D．Talking with friends on mobile phones is better than doing it face to face.
