    Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any "secrets" to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama's "back to school" speech. Here is a small part of his speech.
    I know that sometimes, after watching TV, you may feel that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star. But when chances come, you may not succeed.
    The truth is, being successful is hard. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That's OK. Some of the most successful people in the world have had the most failures. JK Rowling's first Harry Potter book was rejected(退稿)12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career (职业生涯). But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
    These people succeeded because they understand that you can't let your failures beat you--you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
    No one's born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
    And even when you're struggling(挣扎), even when you're discouraged(泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you--don't ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
    【小题1】Why does Barack Obama talk about JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the second paragraph?
    A．To show that these two famous persons are different.
    B．To show that writing and sports are difficult skills.
    C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.
    D．To show that being successful is hard.
    【小题2】Barack Obama believes ____________ in his speech.
    A．you can be rich and successful without any hard work
    B．you may succeed at everything the first time you try
    C．you can't let your failures beat you
    D．you shouldn't ask other people for help
    【小题3】What does the underlined sentence mean?
    A．If you're discouraged, you should give up on yourself.
    B．You should believe in yourself no matter how difficult it is.
    C．When you're struggling, you'll feel like other people have given up on you.
    D．If you are not struggling or discouraged, you can give up on yourself.
    【小题4】What's the best title of this small part of Mr. Obama's speech?
    A．The way to succeedB．Failures can help you
    C．Don't give up on yourselfD．Barack Obama's success

    The United States is suffering its worst drought (干旱) in almost sixty years. The National Climatic Data Center also says high temperatures in June added to the warmest twelve-month period on record. Record-keeping began in 1895. The drought map showed that conditions improved in the Southeast in June compared to May. But the drought is expected to continue in large parts of the country. Last week, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack met with President Obama. Mr Vilsack says the drought has seriously influenced some crops, such as corn and soybeans (大豆). And the United States is the world's leading producer. 

        The drought has made prices of com and soybeans increase. Both of them are used in food production and for animal feed. Last week the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reported that corn and wheat prices increased by 20% over the past three weeks.

    In the United States, farmers may quickly reduce the size of their animals rather than pay higher feed prices to keep them. That increased supply of meat would reduce meat prices in the short term. But those prices could increase in several months.

    Mr Vilsack says the effect of the drought is hard to predict(预测). Some areas are getting rain, and drought-resistant (抗旱的) seeds have helped crops grow well in some areas.

    1.We can know the drought record of the USA has been kept for ________years of the USA up to now.

    A. 97                                                        B. 207

    C. 221                                          D. 117

    2.Which of the following American presidents met with Tom Vilsack?

    A. George Washington.                 B. Abraham lincon.

    C. George Bush.                                  D. Barack Obama.        

    3. If the price of a kilo of corn was 3 dollars last December, how much is a kilo of corn now?

    A. 2.4 dollars.                                        B. 3 dollars.

    C. 3.6 dollars.                                         D. 3.9 dollars.

    4.Why is the meat price lower than before?

    A. Because there are more and more animals.

    B. Because farmers kill them to save their food.

    C. Because people don't like eating meat now.

    D. Because the government (政府) asks the meat price lower.

    5.What is the best title for the passage?

    A. US faces the worst drought in almost sixty years.

    B. Take action to help the USA.

    C. What does the country do in the drought areas?

    D. President Obama meets with Agriculture Secretary.

    Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.

    I know that sometimes, you hope that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through pop music or basketball or being a TV star, when chances come, you’re not going to be any of those things.

    But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem rather important to your life ,but you should try your best. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.

    That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures (the opposite of success). JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

    These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat(打败) you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.

    No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.

    Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to tell when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.

    And even when you’re struggling(奋斗), even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel other people have given up on you.but you should remember, don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

    1.Some of the most successful people in the world have are the ones who’ve had the______ failures.

    A. fewest       B. most          C. saddest        D. valuable

    2.What can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech ?

    A. secrets to success.

    B. being successful is easy. 

    C. your failures beat you.

    D. Asking for help is a sign of weakness.

    3.Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the third paragraph?

    A. To compare these two famous persons.

    B. To explain that the more failures he has, the more successful he is.

    C. If you want to be successful, you should fail first.

    D. To show that failure is the mother of success.

    4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A. No one can be successful without working hard.

    B. Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.

    C. Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help.

    D. One should try his best to make his dream come true.

    5.Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence?

    A. One shouldn’t ask questions because it is a sign of strength.

    B. One should believe in himself though he will face much difficulty.

    C. One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times.

    D. One doesn’t have to ask for help because it is a sign of weakness.
