Beliefs form a big part of our lives. Successful people have always believed that they can be and will be successful in their lives, such as Michael Phelps. Many of us have seen Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals in a single Olympic Games. That has created a history for himself. Many people have admired his success and the first reaction in their mind will be, “ Wow, how I wish I could be like him!” Have you ever wondered what brought him success?

In fact, anyone can achieve what they have wanted to achieve. It is about beliefs. Everyone is a born winner. It is this belief that drives an individual to be successful in his  or her own field. All successful individuals have strong beliefs and it is one of the bases  for their success. If we start to believe in ourselves, the things that we can achieve will definitely give us a pleasant surprise.

Other than having a strong belief, it is the attitude that drives the individual to create their own history. The devotion towards themselves and the drive must also be present. Imagine having a strong belief in oneself and having a poor attitude towards life. Then how would that individual turn out to be? One’s attitude comprises the drive, the devotion and the desire to achieve his goals. If one has strong beliefs about the goals that he can achieve and he displays good attitudes towards them, it would be no surprise to anyone that he will be able to achieve his goals.

Start believing in yourself and you will achieve your goals and with the right positive attitude, you will definitely be able to create the miracle that you have always dreamt of.

Dear American Girl,

I love reading, but when I sit down with a good book, my little sister complains that I never play with her. I feel bad when she says that, but I always want to read.

Sarah

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Start a book club for just the two of you, and invite your sister to join. Set up a comfortable reading spot in your room. Making the meetings fun----maybe you can both wear crazy socks or make stuffed animals to read to.

Dear American Girl,

All of my friends gossip(说闲话)! I’ve heard them talk about everything other people do. It hurts because I know they gossip about me, too. I need help.

Ann

…………………………………………………………………………………………

Good for you to try to stop the gossip-you deserve respect, and so do the other girls. When your friends start gossiping, don’t join in. Say something like “Oh” or Yeah, anyway” in a bored tone, and then change the subject. You are probably not the only one unhappy about the backstabbing.

Dear American Girl,

The kid who sits next to me in math class is always looking at my answers. I don’t want to tell him to stop because he is really nice. What should I do?

Jacob

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Be careful. Are you sure this boy is cheating? Try covering your paper or moving so that he can’t see. If that doesn’t work, talk to him before you tell the teacher. Say. “ I saw you looking at my paper. Please stop doing that.” If he continues doing so, say, “ I asked you not to look at my answers. If you don’t stop, I’ll have to tell the teacher.” That will get the message across. And if he keeps cheating, you can tell the teacher, since you know you have given him a chance to stop.

68.What’s Sarah’s problem?

A. She doesn’t like reading.

B. She’s in poor health.

C. She has no time to play.

D. She’s always disturbed while reading.

69.Why does American Girl advise Sarah to make stuffed animals to read to?

A. Because both the sisters like animals.

B. Because her sister likes communicating with animals.

C. Because they will amuse her sister.

D. Because the books they read are about animals.

70.The underlined word probably means______.

A. friend          B. gossip           C. subject        D. girl

71. The underlined part “That will get the message across” probably means_____.

A. that will make him understand what your mean

B. that will let you receive many messages

C. that will give the teacher a chance to know the truth

D. that will let him pass the exam

Plastics are considered one of the most serious pollutants causing environmental problems. The garbage containing plastics end up in the waterways that eventually flow into the oceans. Accumulation(聚集) of plastic in the ocean endangers marine life and pollutes the water.

Does a plastic continent exist? Yes, a plastic continent does exist and was discovered by Captain Charles Moore a decade ago. The plastic continent is twice the size of Britain and it is the region between the Hawaii Islands and California in the central Pacific Ocean.

One of the causes of the lack of marine life in this region is due to pollution and pollutant is none other than plastics. Captain Charles Moore believes plastic waste started accumulating in the 1950s.

The plastic continent is the man-made continent of floating plastic waste. The fisher men and the sailors have avoided this region for years. The reasons are:

1. There are no fish here because of the lack of nutrients.

2. The zone also lacks the wind that is essential for sailing.

To do research on the ocean pollution, Captain Moore founded Algalita Marine

Research Foundation. Other organizations such as Greenpeace supported his cause. The reports of The United Nations Environment Program show that millions of seabirds and marine animals are dying due to the invasion(入侵)of plastics. The waste plastics can be recycled, but in fact they are being thrown into the oceans. The marine animals mistake these for food and eat them. This leads to their death that affects the marine food chain.

To save the oceans from the plastic continent you need to reduce the use of plastics,

reuse plastic bags and recycle plastics.

72.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. A plastic continent does exist in the Pacific Ocean

B. Endangered marine life is well protected.

C. Plastics are one of the main causes of water pollution.

D. Plastics should be forbidden in people’s daily life.

73.What is the direct influence of the plastic continent?

A. Local fishermen have to fish in other areas.

B. The water becomes shallow and fish have to move away.

C. The wind is too strong there and it makes sailing more difficult.

D. It makes people realize the importance of protecting the environment.

74.It is implied that the work of plastic recycling proves to be ______.

A. effective    B. expensive   C. a difficult task    D. not good enough

75.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Many marine animals are dying due to the broken marine food chain.

B. Captain Moore founded Greenpeace to do research on the ocean pollution.

C. The marine animals have no choice but to eat plastics for lack of food.

D. There are three ways to prevent the oceans from becoming a plastic continent.
