When we think about the dreams we have, it is surprising to see how many people failed even if they could have succeeded. So today I’m going to tell you five ways to kill your dreams.

Believe in overnight success.

Everyone knows the story of a tech guy who built a mobile app and sold it for a lot of money. ___1.___ If you investigate further, you will find that he is well educated and has been working on the project for 20 years. Therefore, your overnight success is always a result of what you’ve done in your life.

___2.___

Constantly, people around you always have opinions on which path you should take. But whichever way you choose, there are other ways you have to pick as well. And one day you need to solve those problems yourself.

Decide to rest when success is guaranteed.

When your life is going great and everything is set—time to rest. Actually, when you’re growing towards a peak, you need to work even harder and find yourself another peak. If you were content with what you’ve accomplished, it would stop you from a greater success. ___3.__

Believe the fault is someone else’s.

I constantly see people saying, “I created this great product, but the market is so bad.” If you have dreams, it’s your responsibility to make them happen. Yes, the market may be bad. But if no one bought your product, surely there is something there that is your fault. ___4.___

Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.

Achieving a dream is a short moment, but your life is not. _5.__ And the only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey.

A. When we face difficulties, believe in ourselves.

B. The overnight success inspires so many people.

C. The story may seem real, but I bet it’s incomplete.

D. Be responsible for your own dreams.

E. Life is never about the goals themselves.

F. There’s no time to settle down.

The world shares him and London claims him, but Stratford-on-Avon intends to spend 2016 celebrating Shakespeare as their man: the bard(诗人)of Avon, who was born there in 1564, and died there 400 years ago.

Stratford remained hugely important throughout Shakespeare’s life, argues Paul Edmondson, the head of learning and research at the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. "People have seen Shakespeare as a Dick Whittington figure, who turns his back on Stratford and his family, goes to London to earn his fortune and only comes back to die," he said. "But Stratford is where he bought land and property, where he kept his library, where he lived and read and thought. We are going to spend the year re-emphasizing the importance of Shakespeare, the man of Stratford."

The anniversary of the death of the most famous and the most performed playwright in the world will be marked across Britain and the globe. Macbeth is about to open in Singapore, Romeo and Juliet in Brussels. Shakespeare’s Globe is completing the first world tour, in which it has taken Hamlet to almost every country. North Korea is still holding out, though.

The Globe director recently jokily claimed Shakespeare as a true Londoner. Stratford, however, will be insisting that the town made and educated Shakespeare. "His old school room in Stratford-on-Avon where Shakespeare learned ‘small Latin and less Greek’ --as kindly laughed at by his friend Ben Johnson--will open its doors, scarred by centuries of naughty schoolboys, to mark 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death," said Paul Edmondson.

Shakespeare bought the splendid New Place, the second best house in the town, when he had made his fortune on the London stage. "You don't buy a house like New Place and not live there," Paul said. He believes that after Shakespeare bought it, all his thinking time was spent there, and that the late plays, including The Tempest, were at least planned in his library and probably written there.

1.What made people regard Shakespeare as a Dick Whittington figure?

A. His life experiences.

B. His achievements in literature.

C. His popularity in London.

D. His contributions to Stratford.

2.Where is the play Hamlet resisted?

A. In Brussels. B. In Singapore.

C. In North Korea. D. In London.

3.What can we know about New Place?

A. The Tempest was totally finished there.

B. Shakespeare learned Latin and Greek there.

C. It was completely destroyed by naughty schoolboys.

D. Shakespeare probably spent his last few years there.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Bard of London B. Man of Stratford

C. Life of Shakespeare D. Plays of Shakespeare

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me £12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship for Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me£12.”

Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”

“Yes, ” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”

“That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three...”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.”

Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam, ”he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“Er, well...” the woman looked at the child. “I mean... she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs... let me see...£13.50. So if the railway pays for you hotel, you will owe £1.50. The law is the law, but since it’s me who made the mistake...”

The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.

1.Harry was worried because __________.

A. they must follow the law without other choice, even though the mistake was his

B. he had to be strict with the woman because of the law, although he didn’t want to

C. the woman had to pay him£1.50 and the railway would pay her for the hotel

D. she should pay£1.50, but he had made a mistake, she should go without paying

4.The woman left the office without saying anything because_______.
