When he saw that rich peple rde hrses, Mmand went hrseback riding every day. When he saw that rich peple had servants, Mmand and his

It was like a race, but ne culd never finish his race because ne was always trying t keep up. The race ended fr Mmand and his wife when they

Mmand lked arund him and nticed that many peple d things just t keep up with rich lifestyle f their neighbrs. He saw the funny side f it
and started t write a series f shrt stries. He called it "Keeping up with the Jneses" because "Jnes" is a very cmmn name in the United States.
"Keeping up with the Jneses" came t mean keeping up with rich lifestyle f the peple arund yu. Mmand's series appeared in different
newspapers acrss the cuntry fr ver 28 years.

10.I have a questin fr all f us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here t share my views n what a real success is.
All arund the wrld, we have created the win-at-all-cst cultures. As a sciety, we hnr the champins. We cheer fr thse peple wh win
champinships, electins and awards. Winning at all csts has becme acceptable. We have becme s fcused n that end result instead f the prcess,
and particularly when the end result is a win, usually hw we gt there ften gets swept under the prverbial rug.
We need t redefine (重新定义) success. Real success is develping champins in life fr ur wrld, win r
lse. We may be able t plan ur way t a win, but we can’t plan ur way t success.
Back t 1990, when I was first made the head cach f the UCLA Wmen’s Gymnastics Team, the best I culd d was what ther “successful”
caches had dne. S, I became tugh-talking and mean. I acted like a head cach whse nly thught was t figure ut hw t win.
After putting up with me fr a few years, ur team asked me fr a team meeting. And fr ver tw hurs, they gave me examples f hw my
arrgance ( 傲 慢 ) was hurtful. That was my time-ut, and I chse t change. I realized that I needed t supprt ur student athletes as whle human
beings, nt just athletes wh wn.
It is s much easier t give rders than t actually figure ut hw t mtivate (激励) smene t be better. And the mtivatin takes a really lng
time t take rt. The key ingredient was t develp trust thrugh patience and hnesty.
Let’s think abut what yu are talking with yur parents n the car ride hme. Are they fcusing n the end result? Are yu excited t use that time
t shw yu are a winner? All f yu care t much abut the end result instead f yur steps f learning.
We are all caches in sme ways. We all have the respnsibility t develp champins in life fr ur wrld.
That is what real success lks like, and that is what we call a win-win.
【小题1】The underlined phrase “gets swept under the prverbial rug” prbably means “________”.
A．catches little attentin
B．des sme harm
C．shws the result
D．decides the success
【小题2】The writer mentins his experience as the head cach t shw________.
A．it’s difficult t teach athletes hw t win
B．hw his team wn thse champinships

C．why his team asked him fr a meeting
D．mtivating thers matters mre than giving rders
【小题3】Which f the fllwing is a real success accrding t the writer?
A．A kid wh shws the medals and prizes he wn t his parents.
B．A player wh tries t win a gld medal at the cst f his health.
C．A cach wh respects his members even thugh the team didn’t win.
D．A parent wh keeps asking abut the grades his kid gets in the exams.
