第十四天美文晨讀The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day. It is as simple as that. You habits will determine whether you are successful or not. If you have strong and healthy positives habits, it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run. Having positive habits does not mean that you will succeed every single time. However, in the long run, there is no doubt that you will achieve all you goals and be successful. On the other hand, if you have strong negative habits, you are guaranteed to fail in the long run. It does not matter whether you succeed today or not. If your habits are self-destructive, you will fail in the long run.引導(dǎo)成功的唯一最重要的因素是你每一天所做的事情。就這么簡單。你的習(xí)慣將會決定你成功與否。如果你有強(qiáng)大而且健康的積極的習(xí)慣，你現(xiàn)在是否失敗都無所謂，因?yàn)槟銓碜⒍〞晒?。保有積極地習(xí)慣并不意味著你每一次都會成功。然而，從長遠(yuǎn)看來，毫無疑問你將會實(shí)現(xiàn)所有的目標(biāo)，成為成功人士。相反，如果你有強(qiáng)大的消極的習(xí)慣，你將來注定會失敗。無論你現(xiàn)在成功與否。如果你的習(xí)慣是自我毀滅性的，你將來必定失敗。I. 寫出下面詞組。1. 注視，凝視_ 2. 故意的_3. 有幾分地_ 4. 試用，試驗(yàn)_5. 追溯到_ 6. 剪紙藝術(shù)_II. 短文改錯(cuò)The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country. Many people, included students, are for it. But there are also some people are against it. Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it can reduce students learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function. On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English. If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English. Whats more, if students dont have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges.7. _ 8. _ 9. _ 10. _11. _ 12. _ 13. _ 14. _15. _ 16. _ III完形填空As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas _17_for her father.

Most of their homes were so poorly made that they fell down or were fire hazards (=danger) with their steep, narrow wooden stairways. Most people were packed into apartment buildings that rose shakily (=unsafely) six to twelve floors above the ground. The apartments were rooms about three metres square, and each building housed about five hundred people.These tall buildings faced each other across streets only three metres wide, so no sunlight reached the ground. Even so, apartments were costly, though cheaper places could be had outside Rome. But people wanted to be near their work and entertainment. So the streets became crowded and it was hard to move quickly. At night, the streets were filled with noise as food and supplies were brought into the city on wagons and carts.37.
