Everyone wants love, money, success and so on in life. Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason. Generally speaking, getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following simple steps.
You have to decide what it is you want the most. But do not make a list of wishes. 1. . If you’re not sure about where you want to go, you’d better think it over first and not hurry to perform.
2. .This will be your map for getting from ''where you are now'' to ''where you want to go''. You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it. For example, if you want a better job, start with a skill assessment and maybe some extra training. You’ll need to sell yourself and your skills to your new employer.
Other goals will require a bit more thought. Some will really get you lost and you don't know how to get there. 3. . For reading is a valuable source of inspirations.
The final step is to carry it out. 4. .Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time. If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them.
5. .Keep trying. Whatever you do, do not lose heart before you have what you desire in your hands. Never think that you can't turn your dream into a reality.
A. Do what you have planned.
B. Hold a right attitude to what you've achieved.
C. Never give up the goal.
D. Try to focus on one thing at a time.
E. Not to worry, though, books can be of great help.
F. Make an action plan with care.
G. Form a good habit, whatever the result may be.
The news that China bans time-travel TV dramas and movies got a lot of attention on the Internet. Yet, time travel in China is a bit different from time travel in common sense. It is anything but science fiction and always goes backwards in time. There is minimum imagination involved--no ever-ending circles that mess up present and future, no advanced technology, no new social orders or new human forms from the twenty--whatever century, everything is a known historical fact when you travel through in China．
It is not even called time travel; rather the Chinese people refer to it as time crossover. Time crossover has been an extremely popular theme for online novels for years (in fact, it is an indispensable part of China's online culture), and didn't get picked up by TV and the big screen until recent two years. Most of time-travel dramas and movies are adapted from popular online novels and like in other cases adaptations are never better than the original books．
The main plot of time-travel novels or TV dramas can be very well summarized in one sentence: from nobody to somebody. Time travel in China is more about escaping from the reality than about realizing wild dreams.
In China, there is no need of time machine either. People travel backwards in time via the possession of antiques presence at historical places of interest encounter of life-threatening accidents or simple a look into the mirror. Some time-travel novels even start with ''I wanted togo back to history so much that one morning when I opened my eyes I was back.'' Technology is not relevant at all．
Though China is not short of histories to go back to, people have their own preferences and it is pretty much a gender thing．If the main character is male then he usually goes back to special times in history when he is able to help build up or tear up a dynasty. A typical example is A Step Into the Past (寻秦记), the first time-travel TV drama in China, which tells the story of how a SWAT member helps to unite China and build up Qin Dynasty.
On the other hand, female characters primarily go back to Qing Dynasty partly because Qing Dynasty has the most number of princes to fall in love with. YongZheng Emperor is the favorite. As can be seen in Startling by Each Step (步步惊心), a Qing time crossover classic, a girl goes back to Qing Dynasty and falls in love with YongZheng Emperor and his brothers．

Nature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.
Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun's ultraviolet(紫外线)light.
Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.
Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they get weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.
The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.
Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain's function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.
Don't just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn't the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.
1.Which of the following NOT true?
A．Antioxidants are responsible for plant colors.
B．Plants use color to attract attention.
C．Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants.
D．Antioxidants can protect plants from ultraviolet light.
2.In which order do the following facts occur?
a .Wrinkled skin can be seen
b .Ultraviolet light causes free radicals to form
c .Free radicals damage cells in our bodies
d .The sun gives out ultraviolet light
A．a,b,c,d B．d,b,a,c
C．c,a,d,b D．d,b,c,a
3. We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.
A．our defences get weaker as we get older
B．our bodies’ defences are not natural
C．we are too young to defend ourselves
D．our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away
4.Which of the following can NOT cause free radicals to form?
A．Ultraviolet light from the sun
B．Colorful food
C．Polluted air
D．The body itself
This is a true story that happened in Japan. In order to renovate the house, a Japanese tore open the walls. Japanese houses normally have a empty space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard(蜥蜴) stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, feeling pity and curious. When he checked the nail, he found it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened? The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! It has been in a dark wall partition (夹层) for 10 years without moving! Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step—since its foot was nailed! So he stopped his work and observed the lizard: What has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn't know from where another lizard appeared, with food in its mouth. Ah! He was astonished and touched deeply. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years.
Such love, a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature… What can love do? It can do wonders! Just think about it: one lizard had been feeding the other one untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner. If a small creature like a lizard can love like this, just imagine how we can love if we try.
1.The underlined word “renovate” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.
A. tear open B. repair C. tear down D. paint
2. How did the Japanese feel when seeing the stuck lizard?
A. Frightened B. Enjoyable C. Confused D. Usual
3.What can we learn from the free lizard?
A. It teaches us never to abandon our loved ones.
B. It teaches us to give more help to our loved ones.
C. It tells us to take pity on the stuck lizard.
D. It encourages us to live even longer.
4.Why did the Japanese stop his work?
A. To watch how long the lizard can still live here.
B. To take out the nail and set the lizard free.
C. To have a rest by watching the lizard.
D. To find out why the lizard had survived here for 10 years.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Wonder B. Two Lizards
C. Such a Story D. Lizard Love
