Want to be more successful? If so, then you need to read a few self-help books.Here are four
popular ones to get you going.
59 Seconds ( 2009) by Richard Wiseman
This is a self-help book with a difference. Wiseman, a scientist, uses science to prove many
self-help myths(神话) are false. For example, self-help books say that if you want to achieve a
goal, you should visualize it. But Wiseman says that's the worst thing to do. Studies show that
you need to visualize the steps required to achieve the goal.
How to Win Friends& Influence People ( 1936) -by Dale Carnegie
This is the book that launched the self-help type. Carnegie says financial success is 15%
professional knowledge and 85% the ability to express ideas, assume leadership, and motivate
people. The book is full of practical advice on how to influence people by making them like you.
The Millionaire Next Door (1996) by Thomas Stanley & Wlliam Danko
The authors of this book spent years interviewing American millionaires to figure out the
secrets of their success. And they discovered that a majority of millionaires don't live luxury
lifestyles. They're rich because they live below their means and reinvest what they earn.

When Millet was a boy he worked on his needy father's farm. At the rest hour in the fields
the other workers would all take naps, but young Millet would spend time drawing, Finally the
village where he lived gave him a little money to Paris to study art.
When Millet reached Paris he had a tough time. Fortunately, when he was almost starving,
someone bought one of his peasant paintings, which enabled his family to leave for Barbizon.
Millet's pictures of peasants at work were painted in a unique way. The painter would go out
on the farms and watch them carefully-- digging, hoeing, spreading manure, sawing wood, or
sowing grain. Then he would come home and paint what he had seen. So astonishingly accurate
was his memory that he could paint at home without models and get all the movements of his
figures right. When he did need a figure to go by he would ask his wife to pose for him.
One of his noted artworks is called "The Sower" , which shows a man seeding. He reaches
into his bag for seed and then swings backward to scatter the seed, and with each swing of his
hand the sower strides forward. In Millet's picture the sower has been working hard, but his
swinging step and arm still move smoothly, like a machine. Only the man's head reveals his great
tiredness.
Another masterpiece is called“The Gleaners." A gleaner is someone picking up the leftover
in the field after the wheat harvest. When farmers near Barbizon are extremely badly-off, even
the little the gleaners can find is a help. You can see from Millet's picture what back-breaking
work gleaning must be.
24. What do we know about Millet?
A. His wife supported him to be a painter. B. He was keen on painting as a kid.
C. He spent his whole life in Barbizon. D. He was brought up in Paris.
25. How did he paint the laboring farmers?
A. Asking models for help. B. Imagining figures in the field.
C. Remembering what he had observed. D. Recalling the days on his father's farm.
26. What do Millet's works convey?
A. The farmers' hardships. B. The scene of farming.
C. His love for the village. D. His anxiety about the farmers.
27. What painting style of Millet can be inferred from the text?
A. Impressionistic. B. Abstract. C. Romantic. D. Realistic.
CThe London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), scheduled to open in 2021 with a target of
admitting 100 students, will abandon traditional academic subjects and offer a three year bachelor
of arts and sciences degree designed to deal with real-world issues. The curriculum is built around
interdisciplinary problems- - knife crime , childhood obesity, plastic pollution, among others--as
well as quantitative and qualitative research skills. Employers like the Met Police and Virgin will
provide project ideas and offer five -week work experience for students.
“We're going to try and create a really transformational educational experience where all the
people in the institution are waking up every morning and saying, ‘How can we take these
brilliant young people and give them an amazing learning experience?" says Ed Fidoe, a
co-founder of the LIS. The idea is similar to a U.S. liberal arts (通识教育) degree but also more
specifically focused on multiple subjects- economics, psychology, sociology , statistic, etc.- to
solve complex problems like childhood obesity. In other words, the problem, not the subject, sits
at the center of the curriculum. The skills students develop, the founders hope, will more closely
come into agreement with what an Al-infused, automated world demands: collaboration( 协作)
between people and machines, critical thinking, speaking and writing sill，and data management,
to name just a few things.
The challenges of building a new university from scratch are daunting( 令 人 生 畏
的) :students have to sign u for, and pay for, something untested; all the teachers will have to
teach in a totally new and different way; and there's a risk that an interdisciplinary curriculum will
be interesting but thin. Fidoe says it's a tall order. “Are any 17-year-olds going to be crazy enough
to come to something that doesn't exist yet against something that's been around for 150 years?"
he says.
In the U.K, students apply through an admissions service center, and exam results are more
important than anything else. On the contrary, at the LIS, students will instead apply directly
during a pre-determined“selection day" where everyone is invited to participate. This day will
include a face-to-face interview so that the college can better understand a student's background,
motivations, and passions.
28. What is the aim of the LIS?
A. To provide more and more project ideas for students.
B. To take a real-world approach to higher education.
C. To help employers to develop the students' skills.
D. To conduct qualitative and quantitative research.
29. What's special about the curriculum the LIS sets up?
A. It is subject-centered. B. It is based on AI technology.
C. It centers around social concerns. D. It covers every aspect of society.30. What does the sentence“it's a tall order" underlined in Para.3 mean?
A. I's interesting to teach in a new approach.
B. It's bound to put the curriculum in order.
C. I's exciting to take on new challenges.
D. I's hard to build the new university.
31. What can we learn about the LIS from the last paragraph?
A. It pays more attention to exam results.
B. It focuses more on the face-to-face interview.
C. It emphasizes students' personal experiences and qualities .
D. It stresses the importance of is pre-determined “selection day".
D
Inaccessible Island is well named. It is an uninhabited rock in the South Atlantic ocean. Go
there, though, and you will find its coast is covered with litter.
That has been the experience of Peter Ryan of the University of Cape Town, in South Africa.
Since 1984 Dr. Ryan has been visiting Inaccessible, recording the litter stranded (搁浅) on the
island's beaches. This week, he has published the results.
Though Inaccessible is indeed remote, the nature of oceanic circulation means that this is
exactly the sort of place where floating rubbish tends to accumulate.
Dr. Ryan and his colleagues focused on one particular class of litter: bottles. Their definition
of a bottle included jars and containers, and things made of metal, glass or polymer. Most, though,
were of polyethylene terephthalate , a light plastic.
A particular advantage of picking bottles to investigate is that they are often stamped with
their country of manufacture. That enabled Dr. Ryan to analyze the history of oceanic littering.
He analyzed the proportions of bottles from various geographical sources. In 1989 the
preponderance (优势)of them (67%) was South American. Twenty years later, in 2009, bottles
made in Asia contributed more or less equally ( 44%) with South American ones (41%). By 2018
the overwhelming(压倒性的) majority (74%) were Asian.
This geographical shift speaks volumes. The first sample suggests most liter arriving on
Inaccessible had been washed off the land or dropped from coastal shipping- -South America
being a relatively nearby continent. The other two, with their rising proportions of rubbish from
Asia, which is too far from the island for it to have floated there, strongly suggest it was crews'
empties being flung from ships. Such littering is banned- which, ironically, came into force in
1989. But evidently a lot of ships' captains do not care. They permit the dumping of rubbish over
the side, regardless.32. What leads to liter gathering on Inaccessible Island?
A. The natural phenomenon of ocean currents.
B. Too many people's activities on the island.
C. The litter's floating around the island.
D. The island's remote location.
33. Why does Dr. Ryan choose bottles as subjects?
A. It is easy to analyze them.
B. It is possible to figure out their sources.
C. There are stamps attached to them.
D. They contribute most to oceanic littering.
34. What does the underlined word“flung”in the last paragraph mean?
A.Cast away. B. Given away. C. Carried out. D. Put out.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic Bottles Washed up on Inaccessible Island
B. Geographical Factors Accounting for More Rubbish
C. Plastic Pollution Worsening on Remote Atlantic
D. A Bottled up Rubbish Problem on Inaccessible Island

Many parents see business ownership as a better bet for their kids' future than a graduate
degree. Some parents described it as the opportunity to control their fortunes and have a chance to
get wealth. 36 . In fact, setting a child up in business is surely one big test of that bond. It is
probably risky: small-business failures are common, and parents risk losing their entire
investment, their life savings, or more. They also risk having their relationships with young- adult
children intent at this stage on independence._ 37 . Jon Kelecy's father set him up recently in a
franchise (加盟店). Jon, 26, loves the work and appreciates his dad's support. But he dislikes
"being in his father's pocket" in spite of all the anxiety of a start-up.
Many parents choose franchises for their kids because they seem to offer marketing,
branding and management support._ 38__. One mother lost $250, 000 when a fast-food franchise
she purchased for her son filed, Mr. Bundy says. In another case, parents lost 8350.000 on a
coffee-shop business they financed for their daughter._ 39_. “As a parent, the best git you can
ever receive is to see your children happy and successful, and equipped to make a living," Marvin
Himel says.
40 . Some structured it as a loan and delayed repayment. Others took stock in the business, with an agreement that their child would use future earnings to buy it back. Some parents look
farther ahead, hoping their children's business will support them in retirement.
A. I's hard for children to make a choice
B. A few viewed it as a long-term investment
C. The setups can be stressful for young adults, too
D. But start-up business costs quite a lot, and has high risks
E. Parents often say they would do anything for their children
F. Children are eager to get support from their parents in management
G. For some parents, however, the potential rewards seem worth all the risk
