“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever things weren’t going my way. “Don’t worry, one day your luck will change.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after I had finished my college education. I had decided to try for a job in radio. One day, I wanted to host(主持) a sports program. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station. But I got turned down every time.
In one station, a kind lady said my problem was that I hadn’t got enough experience. “ Get some work with a small station and work your way up,” she said.
I went back home. I couldn’t get a job there, either. Then my dad told me a businessman had opened a store and needed someone to help him. But again, I didn’t get the job.
I felt really down. “ Your luck will change,” Mom said to me. Dad lent me the car to help me to look for my job. I tried another radio station in Iowa. But the owner, a nice man, told me he had already had someone.
As I left his office, I asked, “How can someone be a sports announcer(播音員) if he can’t get a job in a radio station?”
I was waiting for the lift when I heard the man call. “ What did you mean? Do you know anything about football?” He put me in front of a microphone and asked me to try to imagine that I was giving my opinion on a football game, I succeeded.
On my way home, Mom’s words came back to me, “One day your luck will change, Son. And when it happens, it’ll feel doubly(加倍的) good because of all the hard work you’ve had.” At that moment I knew what just what she meant.

根據(jù)短文內容，判斷正（T）誤（F）。
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to envy（羨慕，妒忌）those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country road in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents will always take good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct（糾正）it, and when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice these things, you can find that happiness is always around you.
小題1:Happiness is always around rich people.
小題2:People are happy because they can walk on the country road in their free time.

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any "secrets" to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s "back to school" speech. Here is a small part of his speech.
I know that sometimes, after watching TV, you may feel that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping (饒舌音樂) or basketball or being a TV star. But when chances come, you may not succeed.
The truth is, being successful is hard. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world have had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected(退稿)12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career (職業(yè)生涯). But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you--you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
And even when you’re struggling(掙扎), even when you’re discouraged(泄氣), and you feel like other people have given up on you--don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
小題1:Why does Barack Obama talk about JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the second paragraph?
A．To show that these two famous persons are different.
B．To show that writing and sports are difficult skills.
C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.
D．To show that being successful is hard.
小題2:Barack Obama believes ____________ in his speech.
A．you can be rich and successful without any hard work
B．you may succeed at everything the first time you try
C．you can’t let your failures beat you
D．you shouldn’t ask other people for help
小題3:What does the underlined sentence mean?
A．If you’re discouraged, you should give up on yourself.
B．You should believe in yourself no matter how difficult it is.
C．When you’re struggling, you’ll feel like other people have given up on you.
D．If you are not struggling or discouraged, you can give up on yourself.
小題4:What’s the best title of this small part of Mr. Obama’s speech?
A．The way to succeedB．Failures can help you
C．Don’t give up on yourselfD．Barack Obama’s success
