22、Successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow.

This is the famous formula (公式) for success:

Dream＞Believe＞Achieve

Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe). And then they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is.

I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula:

Dream＞Believe＞Act＞Achieve

For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be problems in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.

Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.

【1】What should you do when you find your lessons very hard?

A．Ask people for help.

B．Try and keep trying.

C．Get ready to create wonders.

D．Prepare for a harder one.

【2】Which does the writer add to the famous formula?

A．Connect.

B．Achieve.

C．Act.

D．Create.

【3】Why does the writer use the formula “Dream ＞ Believe＞Act＞Achieve”?

A．To support his idea.

B．To ask readers to explain it.

C．To show what his goals are.

D．To compare it with a bridge.

23、Have you ever heard of the story The Ant (蚂蚁) and the Grasshopper (蚱蜢)? I think we can learn something from it.

One fine winter day, some ants were working in the field. They were very busy. Just then a grasshopper passed by. “Hello, kind ants,” said the grasshopper. “I am very hungry. Won’t you lend me a little food? I have eaten up my food. I will pay you before the next autumn.” “Have you no food of your own? Why not gather any food during the summer? You know there was much food in the field last summer. What were you doing then?” asked an old ant. The grasshopper answered; “I sang all day and night during the summer. And so I had no time to gather any food. Please lend me some food.” “Well, then,” said the ant, “You only played and did not work during the summer. We won’t lend you any food until you change yourself.” And the ants went on working.

24、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words

Maybe you pride yourself on sleeping for only a few hours a night. However, are you feeling tired and sleepy throughout the day? Do you find it d【1】 to keep your eyes open when you study? Have you nodded off while reading? If you can answer “Yes” to any of these, it shows you could not have enough sleep.

Studies show that most a【2】 should have seven to nine hours’ sleep. As for teens, they need even more. If you aren’t getting enough sleep, you should:
