只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 Unit 2 Cloning Ⅰ.阅读理解 Staying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean to say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.” Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it’s best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelings. Choose silence instead of blurting out “in-the-moment” feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of th e possible consequences of your words. Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let other persons come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect other persons enough to hear what they have to say. Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because other persons are not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment. Practice being silent at work when you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it’s best to just observe and learn. Finally, silence is golden when you don’t want to engage in a fool’s argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree. However, there will be times in your life when you will need the power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and appreciated. 1.The passage mainly tells us about .

It’s not easy! 5 Here are four tips which can help you live a dynamic life. 6 Stay true to yourself by listening to the only opinions that really matter —your own and those from people who believe in and encourage you. Deep down you know yourself better than anybody else. Don’t fear people 7 The reason why most people don’t take risks or live on the edge is the fear of what others might think of them. If you want to live the life you truly deserve, you must give up the need to be liked by everybody. Value yourself and your choices When you do, others will too. Own the choices you make in your life. 8 When you believe in yourself, in time, others will believe in you,too. Show confidence in your choices and what you stand for whether others agree or not. Focus on appreciation No matter what the circumstances are,there is always something to be grateful for. All successful people ask: What am I grateful for?

G.However, there are great possibilities that you can lead the life you really want. Ⅱ.完形填空 Martin was a big boy, so for his birthday that year his father gave him a book without any pictures in it!
