阅读理解专项训练 Be an Original 一、 It’s said that we human beings are the only creatures who refuse to be what we are. One writer said, “When people are free to do what they want, they usually copy each other.” Yet nobody can be you as well as you can. Every successful person becomes successful because he or she discovered and developed his or her own special abilities. As aguy said, “One of the hardest things about climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd of copies at the bottom.” So remember you are aspecialist. You’re not made to be all things to all people. Surveys have shown that usually about 20 percent of all the people who know you don’ treally like you that much. You just can’t please all the people all the time! So don’t try to have peace at all costs, especially at the cost of your own success. “Don’t stay where you’re tolerated (), go 忍受 where you’re celebrated!” Be yourself. Be an original ()! You 有独创性的人 really are one-of-a-kind. You’re the first and last person who will ever be exactly like you. Do you know that over 90 percent of all flowers have no smell at all? It’s the ones with asweet fragrance () and smell that we remember. So 香味 don’t be afraid to be different, if it means being yourself. We are like rivers, “If we follow the easy path of least resistance, it will make us crooked ( 弯 ).” So don’t follow where the path may lead, go where there is no path 曲 and leave your own trail. “You’re born an original, don’t die acopy!” Too many people are like the living dead, they’ve buried their real talents and abilities. True (T) or false (F) questions: 1. There are alot of people who are exactly like you according to the writer of the passage. 2. The underlined phrase “one-of-a-kind” means “” in Chinese. 和大家一样的 Lasting aLifetime 二、 15 /
