3 . Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best, most genuine version of themselves they can be. Not on the outside — on the inside. It’s not about a brand, a reputation, a persona (外表形象) .     1     Who you really are!

Sounds simple, I know. It is a simple concept.     2     If you want to do great work, it can take a lifetime to figure it out. And it’s going to take a lot of hard work to do it. You are going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some chances that will scare you.

    3     But you know, I can’t think of a better way to spend your life. I mean, what’s life for if not finding yourself and trying to become the best, most genuine version of you that you can be?

That’s what Steve Jobs meant when he said this at a Stanford University graduation speech: Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.     4     You have to trust in something your gut (直觉) , destiny, life, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Not only that, but what Jobs talking about, what I’m talking about, requires focus and discipline, two things that are very hard to come by these days. Why?     5     It’s so much easier to give in to distraction and instant pleasure. It’s easy and addictive.

A．It’s about reality.

B．If you haven’t found it, keep looking.

C．Because focus and discipline are hard.

D．Nothing worth doing in life is ever easy.

E．But the problem is, it’s very hard to make it.

F．The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

G．Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

4 . Success can mean different things for different people. For some, success may be a large ________ and a nice car. For________, it may be a well-fed and happy family. For college students, it means getting good________ or passing grades in order to________ a degree.   

And there lies a slight________ with some college students. The way in which they________ success may not always be that they________ it. Success________ hard work, and most importantly, honesty. Some students________ to simply gain success. In 2013, news of the largest cheating scandal (丑闻) at Harvard University was________. It is said that the whole class had a minimum of 250 students and possible cheating was discovered in roughly half the take-home exams.

The consequences for those found________ could range from a warning to a________ withdrawal from the university for a year. And some of the students in the course were seniors, so the latter consequence could also mean giving back their degree and maybe even losing the jobs acquired after________. Although such consequence may have a very________ and possibly life – changing impact on some students lives, I believe it is entirely necessary to________ that academic integrity (诚实正直) is a respected and necessary________ for academic success.

Harvard University is________ thought of as the top of higher education, whose highest standards won’t________ cheating.

So take pride when you make the________ to do your best and honest work. Success achieved in that way is great, and success achieved________ is the only success you can truly call your own.

7 . For decades, Mars, known as the Red Planet, has been an attraction for scientists. Despite the current amount of carbon dioxide in its atmosphere and the incompetence of the planet to support Earthly life forms, research has suggested that the planet was once able to host ecosystems.

Since the beginning of the 1960s, over 40 Mars exploration missions have been carried out. On July 23, China launched Tianwen 1, a Mars probe named after a poem titled The Quest for Heavenly Truth by ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan (about 340-278 BC). The mission marked China’s first step in planetary exploration of the solar system.

It will take Tianwen 1 six to seven months to reach the Red Planet. The probe is expected to land on Mars around February 2021. Yet the landing process might not be easy. NASA scientists once referred to a Mars landing as “the seven minutes of terror”. During those suspenseful 420 seconds, the Tianwen 1 has to slow down from 4.8 kilometers per second to zero and land on the Red Planet autonomously.

Among the more than 40 Mars missions, only nine have been able to survive “the seven minutes of terror,” Cui Xiaofeng from the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center said at a news conference. To prepare for the landing, Tianwen 1 will spend two to three months surveying potential landing sites using a high-resolution (高分辨率的) camera.

If the probe successfully lands, a rover with an expected lifespan of at least 90 Martian days(about three months on Earth) will be released to conduct scientific exploration. During this process, “the geological structure, soil characteristics, distribution of groundwater, the climate and environment on the Red Planet will all be studied,” Liu Tongjie, spokesperson of China’s first Mars mission and deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center, told CGTN.

1. What does the word “incompetence” underlined in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Isolation.

B．Hospitality.

C．Unpopularity.

D．Inability.

2. What do we know about Tianwen 1 according to the text?

A．It was launched by China on July 23, 1960.

B．It pioneered in China’s planetary exploration.

C．It was named after ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan

D．It spent more than seven months reaching Mars.

3. What can we infer about a Mars’ landing?

A．A probe drops down at the speed of 4.8 kilometers per second in 7 minutes.

B．There is still a risk of Tianwen 1 failing in landing on the Red Planet.

C．Over a quarter of the probes sent to Mars have landed successfully.

D．Tianwen 1 will spend two to three months surveying potential landing sites

4. What will be the rover’s goal if Tianwen 1 successfully lands?

A．To survive at least 90 Martian days.	B．To provide insight into mysteries of Mars.
C．To find habitable places for earthly life forms.	D．To conduct a variety of scientific researches.
