Has it ever happened that an opportunity knocked at your door? How did you respond? How many times did you refuse opportunities that knocked at your door? What was the reason?
The most interesting question is, how many times you couldn’t recognize an opportunity!
Yes, I mean it. Most people couldn’t even recognize opportunities and the success hidden in them.
Here is the reason: “Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don’t recognize them.” —Ann Landers
You think, “Oh, this looks like too much work to do. Why should I do that anyway?” And so you turn around and refuse to do the hard work to seize the opportunity and gain the rewards.
Here is an important fact: You would never be able to achieve great success in your life without your willingness to do hard work and go the extra mile.
Forget about the get–rich-quick plans. Success requires hard work from your side. It also requires smart work. You receive as much as you give. If you are not willing to work very hard to succeed in your life, then the only choice left for you is to stay in the average zone and live a mediocre life.
Successful people are few, because very few people are willing to do the hard work required to get what they want. Successful people are open to every opportunity to achieve what they want. They don’t care about the hard work hidden there. They are brave and they are willing to succeed.
Be ready to do whatever it takes to live an extraordinary life. You deserve it. If you know what you are capable of doing, you will do all the necessary work to express your potential.
Hard work is your key to massive success. Believe me, it is worth all your efforts!
68. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Hard work and success. B. Opportunities and success.
C. Giving and receiving. D. Smart work and opportunities
69. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph means _______________.
A. it is always hard to get opportunities B. opportunities are hidden in hard work
C. opportunities often appear after hard work D. it takes hard work to find opportunities
70. The underlined word “mediocre” in Paragraph 7 probably means “_________”.
A. strange B. poor C. common D. sad

Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin sneakers he wore had a few holes in them. Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.
Ever since his father had passed away three years ago, his mother worked nights at the hospital, but the small wage could only be stretched so far.
What the family lacked in money and material things, they more than made up for in love and family unity. They ran the household in their mother’s absence. All three of his sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.
It was Christmas Eve already, and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach. It was starting to get dark, then suddenly his eyes caught a shiny dime. Never has anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby did at that moment.
He went inside a flower shop. When the owner asked if he could help him, Bobby presented the dime and asked if he could buy one flower. The shop owner looked at Bobby, then said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The shop owner returned holding red roses all tied together with a big silver bow. Bobby’s heart sank as the owner placed them gently into a long white box. “That will be ten cents, young man,” said the shop owner, reaching out his hand for the dime. Slowly, Bobby moved his hand to give the man his dime.
Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the roses you were fixing?”
The shop owner replied, “A strange thing happened to me this morning. I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway. When I saw that little boy tonight, I knew who that voice was.”
【小題1】According to the first three paragraphs we know that _____.
| A．Bobby’s sisters didn’t help Bobby to buy a gift |
| B．Bobby had known what gift he’d give to his mother |
| C．the children in the family all loved their mother |
| D．Bobby’s family was rich before his father died |
| A．Because he didn’t know what to do. |
| B．Because he wanted to try his luck there. |
| C．Because he wanted to get some money. |
| D．Because he hoped to see what he could get. |
| A．A flower. | B．Nothing. | C．A piece of cake. | D．Many flowers. |
| A．he did not want any rose flowers |
| B．the flowers weren’t worth a dime |
| C．the shop owner would cheat him |
| D．he hardly believed what had happened |

It’s the Year of the Rat!
Millions of people crowded onto trains and buses across China on Wednesday. They were hurrying home to be with their families for the country’s most important holiday, the Lunar New Year, or the Spring Festival. Thursday marked the end of the Year of the Pig, and the beginning of the Year of the Rat. But for a while, it looked as if severe winter weather in some regions of China would put a deep freeze on the celebrations. Due to dangerous conditions, airlines, railways and highways across the country were forced to shut down for the past few weeks. Many travelers were worried that they would not make it home for the holidays. Luckily, the crisis started winding down just in time for some roads and railways to reopen on Lunar New Year’s Eve.
More than one billion people worldwide celebrate the Lunar New Year. In China, people from Beijing to Guangzhou enjoy a holiday. Businesses and government offices are closed. Many people go to temples to pray for good fortune for the future. The Lunar New Year is celebrated at the second new moon after the winter solstice（冬至）.
On Lunar New Year’s Eve, the Chinese celebrate with fireworks, family gatherings, and festivals. One of the most popular ways to celebrate the holiday is with the lion dance. The lion is considered a holy animal. During celebrations, dancers dressed as lions（or holding up elaborate paper lions in the air）perform to bring good luck to the people they visit at their homes or businesses. People often wear red, which symbolizes fire. Legend has it that fire can drive away bad luck. The 15-day New Year season is celebrated with firecrackers, dragon dances and visits to friends and families. The celebrations end with the Lantern Festival, when brightly colored lamps are hung in parks around China.
49. When the Spring Festival comes, trains and buses are usually crowed because________.
A. millions of people hurried to go abroad for travelling
B. millions of people are hurrying home to get together with their folks
C. at this time the transportation cost is at the lowest point
D. million of people hurried to send firecrackers to their home
50. Why were many travellers worried whether they would go home for the Year of the Rat?
A. Because a deep freeze hit some regions of China.
B. Because many transportation companies have a holiday
C. Because some roads and railways won’t reopen in a long time.
D. Because businesses and government offices are closed.
51. Where do people usually go to beg for their good luck?
A. Government offices B. Business offices
C. Temples D. Beijing
52. In order to bring good luck to the people they visit, dancers dress themselves________.
A. as lions to have a dance B. as tigers to have a dance
