I didn’t want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.

Deep, deep down ask yourself, “Who do you want to be?” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself, “What makes you happy?”

You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is to be liked and avoid trouble?

We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.

I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldn’t be done. They said, “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.

Then I got my big chance in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.

On that movie, the director said, “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said, “I’ll be back…” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy voice. It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.

Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be frightened with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.

科目:初中英语 来源:冲刺卷04 任务型阅读五选五 -2020年《三步冲刺中考·英语》之最新模考分类冲刺小卷(福建专用) 题型:补全短文5选5

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺、连贯、意思完整。

There are some skills for students to listen to the teacher in class, which means you're going to have to practice it. Just as you would have to practice basketball to be a better player, you also have to practice listening. How to listen in school? 1.

One of the things you need to do is to make sure that your mind doesn't wander (漫游). It's easy to start thinking about other things, especially when you're not interested in the subject. 2.

Next, listen for the main ideas. If you want to catch every little piece of information, you'll feel tired and bored.

3. Not only does this show respect (尊敬) to the teacher, it also helps prevent your mind from wandering. 4. Or it could just be someone talking to their neighbors who shouldn't be. It can even be some birds outside the classroom window, or a group of kids who are talking loudly as they pass the door to your room.

Finally, you need to take notes because you will not remember everything the teacher said. You'll have to take down the notes so that you can study it after class. 5.

Listening isn't always easy, but if you follow these simple steps, you’ll be much more successful in your classes.

A.Here are some suggestions.

B.You'll also need to look at the teacher.

C.So make yourself pay attention to what the teacher is saying.

D.Taking notes also makes you pay attention to the class.

E.It might be a friend who is trying to pass you a note.

The clock pointed at a quarter before nine when he appeared at the Reform Club. Phileas Fogg had finished the journey round the world in eighty days! Phileas Fogg had won his wager (打赌) of twenty thousand pounds!

How could such an exact man make this mistake of a day? Why did he think that he had arrived in London on Saturday, the twenty-first day of December, when it was really Friday, the twentieth, the seventy-ninth day only from the day he left?

The cause of the mistake was very simple.

Phileas Fogg had gained one day on his journey, because he had travelled eastward. During travelling eastward, he had gone towards the sun, and the days therefore diminished(缩短) as many times 4 minutes as he crossed degrees(经度) in this direction. There are 360 degrees on the circumference (周长) of the earth; and these 360 degrees, multiplied (乘) by 4 minutes, gives 24 hours, the day gained. In other words, while Phileas Fogg, going eastward, saw the sun pass 80 times, his friends in London only saw it 79 times. This is why they waited for him at the Club on Saturday, and not Sunday, as Mr. Fogg thought.

Phileas Fogg, then, had won the twenty thousand pounds; but as he had spent nearly nineteen thousand on the way, the gain was small. His aim was, however, not to win money. He divided the one thousand pounds between Passepartout and Fix. From Passepartout’s share, he deducted(扣除) the cost of the gas which had burned in his room for nineteen hundred and twenty hours.

The next day just after the wedding party, as soon as it was light, Passepartout knocked on his master’s door. Phileas opened it, and asked, “What’s the matter, Passepartout?”

“What is it, sir? Why, I’ve just found out —”

“What?”

“That we might have made the tour of the world in only seventy-eight days.”

“No doubt,” said Mr. Fogg, “by not crossing India. But if I had not crossed India, I should not have saved Aouda out of danger and fell in love with her afterwards, and she would not have been my wife.”

Phileas Fogg had won his wager, and had made his journey around the world in eighty days.

Would you make the tour around the world for less than eighty days?

1.How did Fogg most probably feel after he finished the journey around the world?

A.Proud but a bit afraid. B.Excited but a bit angry.

C.Curious but a bit worried. D.Satisfied but a bit sorry.

2.Which of the following shows the right order of the whole trip?

a. Fogg got married to Aouda. b. Fogg’s friends gathered at the Club.

c. Fogg started the trip around the world. d. The group travelled across India.

A.c-b-d-a B.b-d-a-c C.c-d-b-a D.b-c-a-d

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Phileas Fogg had gained one day on his journey, because he had travelled westward.

B.Phileas Fogg didn’t gain a lot though he had won the twenty thousand pounds at last.

C.Phileas Fogg paid for the cost of the gas which had burned in his room for 1920 hours.

D.Phileas Fogg’s friends in London saw the sun pass more times than Fogg.
