In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bikes to work every day． In New York, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City． They declare that if more people rode bikes to work, there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown part of the city and so less dirty air from car engines．
For several years, this group had been trying to get the city government to help bike riders． For example, they want the city to draw special lanes(車道) for bikes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars there are accidents． Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes．
But no bike lanes have been drawn． Not everyone thinks it is a good idea—they say it will slow traffic． Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business．
The city government has not yet decided what to do． It wants to keep everyone happy． On weekends, Central Park—the largest place open ground in New York— is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bikes only．
【小題1】In New York, a group of bike riders__________．

A．a(chǎn)re keeping practicing for health
B．have no cars of their own
C．a(chǎn)re complaining there are not enough buses
D．a(chǎn)re trying to settle the problem of air pollution
【小題2】The bike riders suggest that __________．
A．bikes should be used instead of cars
B．bike lanes should be drawn
C．fewer buses or cars should be used
D．the number of special lanes should be decreased
【小題3】The advantage of the special lanes is that__________．
A．they will make cars and buses run slowly
B．they will make it easier for bike riders to go to parks
C．they will make the city more beautiful
D．they will prevent accidents

One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success. I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success.

One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.

We are individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences. We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else’s.

Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success, his actions ，his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.

You must set your own course of action, and stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself. For example, I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire! Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter. It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.

Here is the truth. Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.

When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration. And that sounds good to us!

Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”

1.What’s the best title of this passage?

A.Frustration Determines Success

A.struggle too hard   B. know little about others

A.Success is something you keep on being rather than you become.

B.Evaluating a successful person needs to look at others’ judgment.

C.It doesn’t matter others may not consider you as a success in their eyes.

D.It matters that you set your own course of action and stay on it.

4.According to the passage the writer advises us to_____.

A.attach the importance to others’ attitude and evaluation

B.learn from others ，failure

C.set a proper goal and strive to realize it

D.look at others’ skills to determine what is successful to us
