26、The winner's guide to success
Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.【1】
Be responsible for yourself.
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you are giving away your own power.【2】
Write a plan
It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.【3】Without this "map", you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the "map" you'll enjoy the "trip" and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
【4】
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won't get anything valuable.
Never give up
【5】When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
A.A good plan is like a map to you.
B.It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.
C.Some people achieve success much later in life because they didn’t work harder earlier.
D.You are saying they have more control over your life than you do.
E.Someone else's opinion of you doesn't have to become your reality.
F.Be willing to pay the price.

28、 Phoenix, Arizona, the USA was shaken by a big sandstorm recently. It was a huge dust storm that struck Phoenix a little after 7:00 p.m. local time.
Arizona has sandstorms particularly during the monsoon(季风) season which usually starts from mid-June until the end of September. However, this was so far the biggest. The cloud of dust turned day into night. Some trees were downed, gardens were destroyed and it cut off power for thousands of local people along the area, but luckily no death happened. A number of the people’s pools became dirty with dust. People who lived in Phoenix for more than 40 years said that this was the first time they had experienced this huge dust storm. It could greatly influence people’s health.
The big dust cloud started in Tucson traveling north across the desert. The huge storm ran up to the 60 miles per hour. It was more than 100 miles wide and a mile high. Besides Phoenix and nearby cities, the storm also reached Yuma area in southwestern and far western Arizona. It reduced the visibility (能见度) in these areas, putting off the flights at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The storm only takes place in Arizona, the Sahara Desert and areas of the Middle East, because of the dry environment and large amounts of sand. Because of the serious shortage of rain, there’s a large possibility that the water is polluted because of the storm.

29、Toxic positivity is the belief that no matter how difficult a situation is, people should maintain a positive mindset. This attitude doesn’t just stress the importance of optimism, it minimizes and denies (否定) any negative emotions. We all know that having a positive attitude is good for your mental well-being. 【1】 We all deal with painful emotions and experiences. Those emotions, while often unpleasant, are important and need to be felt and dealt with openly and honestly.
Toxic positivity can take a wide variety of forms. For example, when something bad happens, such as losing your job, people tell you to “just stay positive” or “look on the bright side.” 【2】 But they can also be a way of shutting down anything you might want to say about what you are experiencing.
If you’ve been affected by toxic positivity, there are things that you can do to avoid it. 【3】 Negative emotions can cause stress when unchecked, but they can also provide important information that can lead to beneficial changes in your life.
Be realistic about what you should feel. When you are facing a stressful situation, it’s normal to feel stressed, worried, or even fearful. Don’t expect too much from yourself. Focus on self-care and taking steps to improve your situation.
It’s okay to feel more than one thing. If you are facing a challenge, it’s possible to feel nervous about the future and also hopeful that you will succeed. 【4】
Focus on listening to others and showing support. When someone expresses a difficult emotion, don’t shut them down with toxic words. 【5】

30、Love Is Blind: The Magic of Tabby
In October, 2019, I started my work at a local animal shelter. Tabby was a 14-year-old dog. What’s more, she was blind and deaf. Tabby’s adoption (收养) seemed impossible.

One day a woman named Loretta came to the shelter. Her son, Gary, had _________ Tabby’s picture and stories on the shelter’s website at home. They were interested in meeting her!
