阅读下面短文,在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。 Why you should think big If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you present it to everyone to increase its scope(范围). Why not make full use of it? The fact is, when you have a strong enough vision(远见), you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others. Remember that everything starts small Rome wasn’t built in a day. Everything starts small. Scientists say that everything in the universe came from a smaller unit than you can possibly imagine. So it doesn’t matter where you are at present, because from small beginnings come great things. Think bigger by enlisting(争取) others To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you’re not the most organized person, don’t just be unhappy about it; find someone who is better. Big thinkers know their personal limitations(局限性). Gather people around you who can do what you can’t do to make sure your dream grows. Think big by focusing on future regrets(遗憾) There is an old saying, “We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn’t.” You’ll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something. If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don’t try or attempt properly. Feel that it is your human duty to think big When something is probably a real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don’t succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.

Sneakers are a kind of shoes worn by many people all over the world. , no one really knows where the word “sneaker” came from. Some say it came from the old English verb “sneak”, which means to move silently and quickly. The only thing we are is that when you put on a pair of sneakers, you feel light-hearted, light-footed and ready to play.
Sneakers of some kind are used by those who play tennis, basketball, and other sports. New design has been made for people who run slowly.

One prize winner called poem “The Sneaker and the World Peace”. “When everyone is wearing sneakers,” she said, “it will be impossible to .” American school children can be seen every day sneakers of all colors. They put them on in the morning and take them off at bedtime. Sneakers are washed. Some children think the older and dirtier they are, the loveable they are.

Once upon a time all feelings went to an island for a vacation, and each was having a good time. Suddenly, a warning of a strong storm was announced ,so all rushed to their boats.

How can we improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, “this is my destiny (命运). I cannot change it.” Certainly not! You don’t have to suffer too much. Your destiny depends on yourself, not on any other factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls “doing her best”? She believes she has tried her best. But in fact she hasn’t. Remember that you get what you pay. You just don’t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a little failure, but use it as feedback (反馈). Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively (积极地), you also have to act positively. If someone’s life is in the trouble, do you just hope that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life. 小题1:The writer’s attitude towards destiny is that ________.A.we can change it | B.we can’t depend on ourselves | C.we must accept it | D.we have to suffer it | 小题2:According to the passage, what should you do if something goes wrong?A.Regard it as a little failure. | B.Get your hands off your phone. | C.Sit around and wait for luck. | D.Do something to solve the problem. | 小题3:The underlined word “turn out” in the passage means ________.小题4:From the passage, we know ________.A.we only need to hope for the best in our life. | B.we can get what we pay if we think positively. | C.the woman has tried her best to improve her life. | D.maybe our luck will change if we do something about the life | 小题5:What would be the best title for this passage?A.Understand Yourself | B.Improve Your Life | C.Believe in Yourself | D.Accept Your Life |
