3.Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever created:the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You were born a winner.You were born rich.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自信心).Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life.People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are always victims.They are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary,the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory,born from setbacks (挫折).
In short,in all areas of your life,whether they are financial,physical,emotional,or spiritual,you are responsible.Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it.You are on the road to success.

25.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because theyA.
A.can't exercise control over themselves    
B.a(chǎn)re easily affected by windy weather
C.don't have the power to face their fate

26.Losers would think thatC.

B.working hard will lead to success
C.they fail only because of bad luck

13.How often do you let other people like a bad driver,a rude waiter,or an angry boss,change your mood (情緒)?
Sixteen years ago I learned a lesson.I got in a taxi,and we took off for Grand Central Station.We were driving in the right lane (車道) when all of a sudden,a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver used his brakes (車閘),the tires made a loud noise,and at the very last moment our car stopped just 3cm from the back of the other car.
I couldn't believe it.But then I couldn't believe what happened next.The driver of the other car,the guy who almost caused a big accident,turned his head around and he started shouting at us.I couldn't believe it!
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.So,I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy could have killed us!"And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call,"The Law of the Garbage Truck".He said,"Many people are like garbage trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of anger and disappointment.As their garbage piles up,they look for a place to dump (傾倒) it.And if you let them,they'll dump it on you.
So I started thinking how often I let Garbage Trucks run right over me and how often I take their garbage and spread it to other people.
I began to see Garbage Trucks.I see the load  people are carrying.I see them coming to dump it.And like my taxi driver,I don't take it personally.I just smile,wave,wish them well,and move on.
1.What happened to the author on his way to Grand Central Station?D

8.Students who say they never or hardly ever use dictionaries often speak English well but usually write poorly,because they make many mistakes.
The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either.The ones who look up every new word do not read fast.Therefore they do not have time to read much.Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems.Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English.But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often.When they are reading,these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context.Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand.They use dictionaries more for writing.If they are not sure how to spell a word,or divide it into syllables (音節(jié)),they always use a dictionary.Also,if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form,they check these in a dictionary.
32.The writer thinks thatC.
A.choose a good dictionary,and you'll be successful in learning English
B.dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
