Napoleon stayed in a small inn (小旅館). The next morning, he went to thank the innkeeper.

“You have served me well,” said Napoleon. “I wish to reward you. Tell me what you want.”

“Sir, we want nothing,” said the innkeeper. “But will you tell us something?”

“What is it?” Napoleon asked.

“We have heard a story,” said the innkeeper, “that once during the war , a small village was taken by the Russians. You happened to be in the village. You hid while they looked for you. Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you?” Napoleon looked very angry. He called in two of his soldiers. Then he pointed to the door. The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard.

At the end of the yard was a wall. The innkeeper and his wife were led to the wall. The soldiers tied the hands of the innkeeper and his wife. Napoleon watched, saying nothing. “Please, sir.” begged the innkeeper, “Don’t kill us! we meant nothing!” The soldiers moved back. The innkeeper saw them raising their guns. Then Napoleon called: “Ready! Aim!” The wife screamed. “Stop!” said Napoleon. He went to the innkeeper, “Now, you know the answer to the question you asked me just now, don’t you?”

A. ordered his men to fight back

A．How inner beliefs can help

B．Why are habits so important

C．How to develop positive habits

D．Improve your life

E．You can do it

F．Action plan

The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day．It is as simple as that．Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not．If you have strong and healthy positive habits，it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run．

1._________________________________

Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day，a single positive action will not change your life，but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life．For example，if you go to the gym one time，you won’t see a big difference in your life．However，if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period，you will see a big difference in your body．The same principle applies to finance，health，relationships，work，career，and school．Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run．

2._________________________________

There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits．You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit．If you want to develop the habit of running，run almost every day．If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy，eat healthy every day．If you want to develop the habit of reading，read every day．Habits are created by repetition．The more you do an action，the easier it becomes in the long run．

3.________________________________

If you want to be successful in changing your habits，you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits．For example，your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed．I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed．”If you keep this belief，you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long．Instead，you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed．Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body．Yoga makes me happy．” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits．The same is true when you try to form positive habits．If you want to start eating healthy food，here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health．It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good．”

4.___________________________________

It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits．Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of．For each positive habit，write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit．For each negative habit，write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks．Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise，healthy food，reading，saving，studying，healthy relationships，hard work，etc．Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling，drug and alcohol abuse，overeating，shyness，etc．

5.___________________________________

Everybody can change．All it takes is courage and commitment．Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits．Take action right now！Don’t be afraid．Yes，you will probably make mistakes along the way．But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life．If you refuse to quit，success will be yours．

Stay on the brighter side of life One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful．In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being．Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for．1.

Feeling down？Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t．A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain, so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well．2. Reassure yourself that everything is good— even if you don’t feel it．

“3.If you’re stuck in traffic, then everything else must be going horribly too,” says Anne Parker, a wellness counselor．By blowing negative events out of proportion, you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day．Instead, acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic, but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window．That way, you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day．

Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness, but they take time to achieve．4.You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated．However, if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going．

5. Try making someone else’s day better．A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers．Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being, and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life．

A．Try to help someone in need．

B．Want to give your attitude a lift？

C．People tend to think in an either-or way．

D．Act in an optimistic way—smile, laugh, tell a joke．

E．You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life．

F．By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself．

G．By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around．

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆河南頂級名校高三上學期期中英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

My students often tell me they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork. My reply is often brief –You have as much time as the president. I usually carry on a bit about there being 24 hours per day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.

Once in graduate school, I tried to justify myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant. What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to reflect on the “hard worker” dodge(伎倆), and I have come to some conclusions – all relevant to the issue of how much time we have.

If you look at the matter analytically, you can identify two parts of the problem. There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the issue of “work” during that time, which can vary in intensity. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not diligence but the quality of the product that is important.

That led me to a new idea, the quality of work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office – Don’t work harder but work smarter! There’s a lot of sense in that idea.

If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of work. That means thinking of ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “l(fā)earning habits”.

Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies.

1.From the passage, we know that the author is _____.

A. a poet B. an educator

C. an editor D. a director

2.We can infer from the first two paragraph that we students _____.

A. have enough time B. can meet the president

C. get something done well D. should accept the explanation

3.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means _____.
