1.________
Is there a “success personality”-some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it? At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes of 1500 prominent people selected at random from “who's who” in America.Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers.Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
2.________
Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents.Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality.And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.
3.________
To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs.To do this, one has to sweep aside extra ideas and get right to the core of what matters.A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way:“The key ability for success is simplifying.In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”
4.________
Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man's answer is that common sense can definitely be developed.He attributes his success to learning how to debate in school.Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their-and your own-mistakes.
5.________
Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success:knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck.But common sense stands out.If you develop these qualities, you'll succeed.And you might even find yourself listed in who's who someday.

“Hey, Jenna, do you think we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two?” I asked my friend. It was clear that she was wondering where I had come up with such a question. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We hung out together. We gave each other advice.
“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two.” Jenna announced loudly.
The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became close friends. We played together almost every day. I thought even time couldn’t pull us apart, but I was sadly mistaken.
The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be horrible!
I was surprised when Jenna came to my house and gave me an awesome Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me.
“Wow, ” I said, breaking the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”
“Okay…well…I have to go,” she said softly.
“Okay. See you later then…” and I closed the door.
“Who was that at the door?” my mum asked.
The card started off with “Merry Christmas”, but then it said, “I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eight-two.”
I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had forgotten what she said that day in her back yard. I couldn’t believe I had been so selfish in trying to get even and making my friends feel sorry for me that I had forgotten about real friendship.
How would the author and Jenna get along with each other after Christmas?
A. They would be close friends again.
B. They would not speak to each other.
C. They would lose touch with each other.
D. They would go on fighting with each other.
The underlined sentence “I was bossy” in the fourth paragraph means “_________”.
A. I looked like a boss B. I acted as a boss
C. I was fond of giving orders D. I was fond of fighting
Which of the following is the right time order according to the passage?
a. Jamie became our friend.
b. I felt lonely and unhappy.
c. Jenna, Jamie and I fought a lot.
d. Jenna brought me a Christmas card.
e. I was sorry for what I did to her.
f. Jenna and I promised to be lifelong friends.
A. f a b c e d B. a c f b d e C. a b c f e d D. f a c b d e
The author was delighted when she read the card from Jenna because _________.
A. what Jenna wrote was funny
B. Jenna would be her friend again
C. she was happy about the coming Christmas

Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US-CIS). It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.

The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.

The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude(裸體的)women bathing at beaches and gay(同性戀的)men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores(風(fēng)俗)”.

Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile (敵對的) to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少數(shù)民族聚居區(qū))in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.

84. |
|
Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate(同化)themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(難民辯護(hù)聯(lián)盟).
