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 human mind. Success is a choice but not
a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
     You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.
Peoplewith low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They
are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
     You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible
for whatever happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident while 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 consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. One
generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success
depends upon our level of confidence. We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
     If you associate with positivethinking 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.
     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.

　　The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seemstrange to you, since nearly 75％of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97％ of this huge amount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3％--the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

　　However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly almost everyday. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91000 litres of water?

　　We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on small scale. The systems that have been worked out are similar to those used in spacecraft.

(1) “The world...is also thirsty for water.” this means that ________.

[　　]

A．the world has not enough fresh water to meet our future needs

B．people all over the world are thirsty for water now

C．we are now facing a serious problem of world-wide water shortage

D．we cannot make use of all the fresh water on earth

(2) According to the passage, only about ________ of the earth's surface is covered with fresh water that can be used.

C．97％
D．2.3％

(3) We may face a severe worldwide water shortage in the future because ________.

[　　]

A．the small amount of fresh water is constantly being replaced by rainfall

B．some of it has been polluted

C．some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers

D．our need for fresh water is increasing rapidly

(4) According to the passage, one of the first problems is ________.

[　　]

A．to deal with water problem now

B．to have lectures on the water subject

C．to develop ways of reusing water

D．to work out systems that resemble those used in spacecraft

(5) This passage is mainly about ________.

[　　]

A．water and the earth
B．fresh water on earth
C．water shortage problem

then it runs in waste system. But that is possible to pipe the used water to a
