　　From now on, never spend your precious 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 most awesome machine ever created：the human mind．Success is a choice and not a chance．You were born a winner．You were born rich．You can be a success if only you make the right choice．

　　You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem(自尊，自信)Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life．People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives．They are the perennial(长期的)victims and martyrs(受苦者)．They are leaves tossed(摇摆)by the winds of chance blown 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 everything that happens in your life．Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance．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 choose to think and believe．One generally rises to the level that one expects．We are responsible for setting our expectations．Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence．

　　If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success．On the contrary, the opposite happens．We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing 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．

(1)

　　Brenda was a young woman who was invited to go rock climbing．Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff(花岗岩悬崖)．In spite of her fear, she put on the clothes, took a hold on the rope, and started up the face of that rock．Well, she got to a ledge where she could take a breath．As she was hanging on there, the safety rope suddenly touched Brenda’s eye and knocked out her contact lens(隐形眼镜)．

　　Well, here she is on a rock ledge, with hundreds of feet below her and hundreds of feet above her．Of course, she looked and looked and looked, hoping it had landed on the ledge, but it just wasn’t there．Here she was, far from home, her sight now blurry．She was desperate and began to get upset, so she prayed to the Lord to help her to find it．

　　When she got to the top, her friend Helen examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens that could be found．She sat down, discouraged, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the cliff．She looked out across range after range of mountains, thinking of that Bible verse that says, “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth．”

　　At the bottom there was a new party of climbers just starting up the face of the cliff．One of them shouted out, “Hey, you guys! Anybody lose a contact lens?” Well, that would be startling enough, but you know why the climber saw it? An ant was moving slowly across the face of the rock, carrying it．

　　Meantime, back on the earth, a survey from the nonprofit Pew Internet and American Life Project from early last year looked at how the internet would affect our lives in 10 years’ time．The study looked at a wide range of topics, and it found some concerns along with the celebration．On the top of list of worries is a cyber(网络)attack．Many Internet experts agree that computer criminals are simply waiting for the right opportunity to strike．According to the Pew study, about 66% Internet users believe at least one devastating(毁灭性的)attack will occur in the next 10 years．Howard Schmidt, Who has worked on security issues at Microsoft company, said,“We will have self-repairing and self-configuring computer systems that can effectively protect one’s computer, so one perform the faction they want,”said Sehmidt．

　　Scott Langteau has this message fro kids：Spend less time playing video games．

　　It's a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand．

　　But the 40-year-old Langteau isn't a parent．He's a experienced at video game－one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co－founded his own game development company．

　　Langteau has just published a children's book called “Sofa Boy,” which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow．

　　It's a fairy tale plucked straight from Langteau's own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction．But first, Langteau would like make one thing clear：“I'm not saying that you shouldn't play video games．I think video games are great, I think they do great things for kids．Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation．(克制)”

　　“It'saboutbeingwellrounded,” he says．“Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there's a variety in what we do．”

　　Video gamers can be a rather bad－tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment．And understandably so．After all, most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders － people who don't play video games and certainly don't understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment．

　　But Langteau and “Sofa Boy” seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game－savvy masses might actually listen to．After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games．His early experience has taught him a lesson．

(1)

A．	The book tells of the writer's own story．

[　　]
A．	Langteau advises the young to play games within limits
B．	Langteau advises the young not to play games
C．	playing video games ruins the future of kids

　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman．A man goes shopping because he needs something．His purpose is settled and decided in advance．He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration．All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want．If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once．All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction．For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants．In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required．No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish：“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size．It happens to be the color you mentioned．”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is：“This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on．”

Now how does a women go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way．Her shopping is not often based on need．She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only“having a look round”．She is always open to persuasion：indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her．She will try on any number of things．Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her．Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes．They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain．Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on．It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one．Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands．

1．What does a man usually do when he is buying clothes?

2．What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?

3．What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?

4．Many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that

5．What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?
