I remember the exact moment I learned the principle of preparing for luck.
I was on the wrestling team. Now, if there’s one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least   31  .There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot   32  it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no   33    because we do the whole thing indoors, so you can’t say, “It was raining” or “It was snowing.” It makes   34  to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.
On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We   35  had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy   36  the name of John.
John had never been   37  in any high school wrestling competition that I could remember, 38  he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.
One day, we   39  a match with our biggest opponent(对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular   40  He rolled over, and his opponent  41  him halfway through his roll. He waspinned(压住) 42 !
The match was over.
I remember on the way home, one of our teammates tried to  43  John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” John said, “That’s so stupid. The 44  presented itself, and he just took advantage of it.”
We used to have this big   45  in our wrestling room that the coach had put there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity meets   46 .”
John’s opponent was prepared to make use of this opportunity. The possibility of beating John was not   47  and he knew it. But he waited for the  48   opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a five-time national champion.
In other words, the real  49  is “Be prepared!” It’s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to   50  it.

Net Library Is a library that lends out digital books.It treats a digital like a paperback copy.It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.

       From the consumer's point of view, this means that if more than, say, five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title can't be found.

       It's a model many publishers seem to have embraced.More than 350 gave the company rights to hand out their digital works and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money in the company.The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.

       Some librarians criticize the New Library model.Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital woks; which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.

       Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by E-Brary.E-Brary is starting a service mat lets us users read books for free.

       But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to print out material or copy and paste it into a different file or tries to download copy onto a computer.

       Christopher Warnock, chief executive of E-Brary, believes most consumers won't want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.

       "There's not really a lot of good m owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it.It doesn't make sense." he said.

1.How do publishers get money from the Net Library?

       A.They get money from selling their books to the Net Library.

       B.They share the money with the Net Library.

       C.They get money by cutting the cost of the books.

       D.They get the money from the readers.

2.The underlined word "embraced" in the 3rd paragraph means _    ___.

       A.taken something willingly                 B.held something tightly

       C.disliked something badly                   D.tried out something hard

3.From the 2nd paragraph we can see consumers       .

      A.don’t care if they are charged money

      B.enjoy the service of the Net Library

      C.don’t like other people borrowing books

      D.complain about the limited number of the new books

4.What does the last paragraph mean?

      A.Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.

      B.There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.

      C.E-Brary is not a good library for the consumers.

      D.It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.

This weekly four-day physical activity schedule will get your kids excited about being active.
Tuesday
When the kids get home from school, don’t let them go straight to the TV and get settled in. Encourage them to get moving and get off the couch(长椅) by giving them a pedometer(计步器).

Saturday
Get the whole family out of the house together and over to a park. Bring lots of sports equipment, pack a healthy picnic and have a family competitive sports day. Kids and adults get into groups and play against each other in tennis, basketball or soccer. After everyone has played hard for a couple of hours, stop for a picnic and then if your family isn’t too tired, go back and play some more.
Sunday
Every child loves to play video games and there is no better time to allow kids to play them than on Sunday when no homework is due(应交的).But don’t let them play a game that forces them to sit down for hours. Dance games with a floor mat(垫子) to help kids follow the dance moves are popular to kids.
