One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their life goals is how they measure success. I see individuals getting frustrated as they 36 hard

One of the main 37 that cause this frustration is that people allow their 38 of success to be determined by someone or something else. Another is that they become frustrated at their 39 lack of success when own comparing themselves with other people.
We are all individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences. We should look at our own skills to 40 what is successful to us. We should look 41 to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else's.
Evaluating successful people 42 looking at their own pathway to success, their 43 and their determination, and 44 those into their own experience to see how they can 45 themselves.
You must 46 your own course of action, and stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you and achieve your own goals not 47 else's. Do what you do to the best of your 48 and the rest will take care of itself. For example, I believe that I am 49 but I am not a millionaire! Others may not see me as a success in their eyes but that does not 50 ； it is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.
Here is the 51 . Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become—it is something you 52 being.

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Larry Ellison came from the slums to co-found Oracle.
Larry Ellison was born on the Lower East Side of New York during World War II, back when that district was still poor and filled with immigrants striving to survive. At an early age, Ellison caught pneumonia（肺炎） and was sent to the South Side of Chicago to live with relatives. Despite these obstacles, he was able to educate himself and join Software Development Laboratories, in 1977.
This was an important move, because in 1982 the company became Oracle. This is a company that brings in $38 billion every single year, and along the way, Ellison — who stepped down（辞职） as CEO in 2014 — managed to accumulate over $46.2 billion in net worth（净值）.
Zdenek Bakala flees Communist Czechoslovakia with $50.
Zdenek Bakala happens to be one of the leading coal entrepreneurs in the United States. Originally from Czechoslovakia, he fled that country when he was just 19. He arrived in Lake Tahoe with just $50 in his pocket. Once there, he got a job washing dishes at Harrah’s casino.
Fast-forward a few years: Bakala attended the famous University of California-Berkeley and acquired his undergraduate degree. That higher education gained him entry into the banking world. And returning to his homeland, in 1994 he opened the Credit Suisse office in Prague.
Due to his enormous wealth, Bakala has managed to acquire huge shares in both coal and iron ore, which he still holds to this day. Do Won Chang worked three jobs to survive.
Do Won Chang is the famous face behind Forever 21, who immigrated to the United States from South Korea, in 1981. Before he founded Forever 21, he worked three jobs simultaneously（同时地）, as a gas station clerk, a janitor（守卫） and a coffee shop employee. That period lasted for three years before he founded the company and opened its first clothing store, in 1984.
This family business grew quickly by taking advantage of the benefits of \ fashion\ has also managed to bring in $3 billion per year. And the next generation has been taken into the company, as Chang has brought his two daughters on board. 56. Which played the most important role in Zdenek Bakala’s success? A. His family background. B. The education he received. C. His friends selfless help. D. The huge share he holds. 57. What do the three persons have in common?
A. They all changed from rags to riches. B. They are all immigrants to the US.
C. They all managed to graduate from college. D. They all worked three jobs to survive.

IT is fashionable to say that tech firms will conquer the financial services industry. Yet in the case of Apple, it seems that the opposite is happening and finance is taking over tech by stealth( 悄 然 ). Since the death of Steve Jobs, its
5
co-founder, in 2011, the world’s biggest firm by market value has sold hundreds of millions of phones with bionic chips (仿生芯片)and know-it-all digital assistants. But it has also grown a financial operation that is already, on some measures, roughly half the size of Goldman Sachs.
Apple does not organize its financial activities into one subsidiary, but Schumpeter has lumped them together. The result—call it “Apple Capital”—has
$262bn of assets, $108bn of debt, and has traded $1.6trn of securities since 2011. It appears to be run fairly cautiously and is part of a thriving firm, but it still deserves scrutiny. Companies have a history of being hurt by their financial arms; think General Electric (GE) or General Motors (GM).
Apple Capital has lots of responsibilities but three stand out. It invests the firm’s mountain of surplus profits, mainly in “highly rated” instruments (this task seems to fall to Braeburn Capital, a subsidiary in Nevada, which uses some external fund managers). Apple Capital also uses derivatives (衍 生品 )in order to protect the firm against currency and interest-rate gyrations. And it manages America’s fifth-biggest corporate-debt pile by issuing Apple bonds as part of an elaborate strategy to limit tax bills.
Apple Capital has become important to its parent. Since Jobs died, its assets have risen by 221%, twice as fast as the company’s sales, reflecting Apple’s huge build-up of profits. Its investments are worth 32% of Apple’s market value, and its profits (investment income, plus gains on derivatives, less interest costs) have been 7% of Apple’s pre-tax profits so far this year. It is also sizeable compared with other financial firms. Consider four measures: assets, debt, credit exposure and profits. Depending on the yardstick, Apple Capital is 30-85% as big as Goldman Sachs. It is 22-42% as large as GE Capital was at its peak in 2007, just before things went down the tubes during the subprime crisis.
Apple Capital is different from these firms in important ways. It does not take deposits and has much lower leverage. In their prime Goldman and GE Capital were run by hard-charging financiers, and made lots of loans. By contrast, Apple Capital does not make loans, and is not meant to be a profit centre in its own right.
Apple’s core business is so profitable that it is—almost—incredible that a blow-up at Apple Capital could lead to it needing taxpayer or central-bank support, as was the case for GM and GE. Still, it is easy to imagine how Apple Capital could hurt its parent. A market shock could lead to losses on its portfolios. A two-percentage-point rise in interest rates would result in a loss of $10bn. If bond markets dried up, Apple might struggle to issue so much debt and have to bring home funds, incurring a big tax bill. It might also become tricky to run such a big derivatives portfolio.
According to a former manager who left in 2012, Apple’s financial gurus were careful because “nobody wanted that 3am call from Steve Jobs”. But Jobs isn’t there any more. In any case, a fear of rebuke is not enough. If the tax laws change Tim Cook, Apple’s boss should wind down the structure that the firm has created. Tech firms should seek to disrupt finance, not be seduced by it.
58. Which of the following is Not the responsibility of the \A. using its surplus profits to re-invest. B. providing related financial derivatives.

C. issuing bonds to avoid high tax. The hypothetico-deductive method describes the logical approach
D. exploring new electronic products.

59. The sentence \ be put in the end of . A. paragraph 3 B. paragraph 4 C. paragraph 5 D. paragraph 6 60.What can be concluded according to the last two paragraphs? A. Apple 's development should be in line with GM and GE. B. The change of interest rates makes great difference to Apple. C. Apple's home funds can compensate for its loss in bond markets. D. Tech firms should be attached to finance.
61. The passage is mainly developed by the followings except . A. making comparisons B. providing data C. following the order of importance D. giving examples

\Hypotheses( 假 设 ) ， ＂ said Medawarin 1964, ＂ are imaginative and inspirational in character＂; they are ＂adventures of the mind＂. He was arguing in favour of the position taken by Karl Popper that the nature of scientific method is hypothetico — deductive and not, as is generally believed, inductive.
The myth(误区) of scientific method is that it is inductive: that the formulation of scientific theory starts with the basic, raw evidence of the senses — simple, fair, unprejudiced observation. Out of these sensory data — commonly referred to as ＂ facts ＂ — generalisations( 归 纳 ) will form. The myth is that from a disorderly collection of factual information an orderly, relevant theory will somehow come out. However, the starting point of induction is an impossible one. There is no such thing as an unprejudiced observation. Every act of observation we make is a function of what we have seen or otherwise experienced in the past. All scientific work of an experimental or exploratory nature starts with some expectation about the outcome. This expectation is a hypothesis. Hypotheses provide the motivation for the inquiry(探究), and influence the method. It is in the light of an expectation that some observations are held to be relevant and some irrelevant, that one method is chosen and others abandoned, that some experiments are conducted and others are not.
Hypotheses arise by guesswork, or by inspiration, but having been started they can and must be tested thoroughly, using the appropriate method. If the predictions you make as a result of deducing certain consequences from your hypothesis are not shown to be correct then you abandon or adjust your hypothesis. If the predictions turn out to be correct then your hypothesis has been supported and may be kept until such time as some further test shows it not to be correct. Once you have arrived at your hypothesis, which is a product of your imagination, you then move on to a strictly logical and thorough process, based upon deductive argument — therefore the term ＂hypothetico-deductive＂．
So don’t worry if you have some idea of what your results will tell you before you even begin to collect data; there are no scientists in existence who really wait until they have all the evidence in front of them before they try to work out what it might possibly mean.
