【推荐1】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, and you will succeed.

1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?

A．Working hard.

B．Good education.

2. What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.” ?

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

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

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

    1     It can help you to see others’ healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.

    2     Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty(口渴的). Sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.

    3     Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don’t eat anything for the night, your body needs food when you get up. You will be smarter after eating breakfast.

    4     We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn’t mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.

    5     In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest(消化) most of the food before you sleep for the next 8-10 hours.

A．Eat breakfast.

B．Eat healthy snacks.

C．Listen to your body.

D．Eat with others.
