By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best loved and most successful childrens book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants. In 1954, life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many childrens books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books. In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham. In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize（普利策奖）. He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents. He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read.

Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be successful.Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be clear, and it must also be exciting.Show up. 70% of success in life is showing up. You cant have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You cant get your dream job, if youre afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesnt guarantee（保证）success, but if you dont show up, you wont succeed.Fail. Unless youre willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success wont happen. To have success you have to do things in the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your failure（失败）. So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person cant do. Its about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, its about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. Its the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.Someone once said, "Unless you change how you are, you will always have what youve got."You have to change and you will succeed.（1）Which is NOT mentioned in achieving success? A . Working hard.B . Good education.C . Strong desire.D . Enjoying failure.（2）What does the writer suggest by saying "Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day."? A . Its not easy for people to care for their health.B . You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.C . Keeping working harder is necessary for success.D . Most people dont want to spend too much time running.（3）What can we know from the paragraph 4? A . Failure is the mother of success.B . Many hands make light work.C . Every dog has its day.D . Actions speak louder than words.（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A . The Importance of Success.B . The Meaning of Success.C . The Secret of Success.D . The Steps to Success.五、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共15分)14. （5分）根据短文内容从方框中选择恰当的单词填空，使短文完整、通顺，有的需要变换形式，每词限用一次work, tree, present, ready, mealChristmas is coming. Jenny and her family are very happy.
