Success does not belong to a select group of individuals（个人）.

Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.

Desire.

Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.

Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.

You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee（ 保证）success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.

Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen.

To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it.

As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your rate of failure（失败）.

So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.

Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.

Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination （终点）. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey.

You have to enjoy the journey.

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got. ” You have to change . . you will change, you will succeed.

51. Which of the following is NOT mentioned (提及) in achieving success?

A. Good education. B. Working hard. C. Strong desire. D. Enjoying failure.

52. What does the writer really mean by saying “ Everyone runs, but everyone”.

A. It’s not easy for people to develop their health.

B. Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.

C. You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.

D. Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.

53. What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?

A. Failure is the mother of success.

B. Many hands make light work.

C. Every dog has its day.

D. Actions speak louder than words.

54. Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?

A. If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.

B. If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.

C. Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey.

D. Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.

55. The best title of the passage might be _______________.

A. The Importance of Success B. The Meaning of Success

C. Success or Failure D. The Five Main Steps to Success

Most of us don't realize we are special. That's because some people in our lives look down upon us and make us feel worthless. You don't save lives every day, you are not famous. That doesn’t mean that you’re not special. Being special means many things, like being a volunteer, helping your friends, listening to someone who feels alone or working all day long to support families. Here are some signs that will show you how special you are.

You think there is always more to learn

You’re modest and you’re interested in what happens around the world. Also, you're curious and you always feel you should learn new things or improve some of your skills.

You're kind to others

When you meet new people or when you are dealing with someone you already know, like you friends or workmates, you would like to smile and be kind, just because there is no reason to treat others as if they were less important. Being kind makes you special and unique.

You understand others’ feelings

When someone talk about his personal life and experiences with you, sharing secrets or feeling with you, you perfectly understand the way they feel. When someone tells you “I'm fine”, you know there might be something more going on according to their voice or their experiences, and you try to listen to them, letting them talk about how they feel.

You like to travel

You're curious about other countries and other ways of life. You give yourself the gift of learning from other cultures because you know how much this can make you richer. You like to have chat with people who have different experiences of life and you're happy to share your culture with them as well.
