Unit1
Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will<1> eventuallyfind a way to do it well. The<2> premierpoint is that you must have the will to achieve success.Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any<3> endeavorto achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away.On many occasions, people tend to<4>bypass〔绕过〕every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the<5>handicapsand achieve their goals.Only those with a<n><6>mitted〔坚定的〕and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have<7>attained〔获得,达到〕their prestige because they have had the will to<8>transcendapparently insuperable <无法克服的> obstacles. Many artists, statesmen,
writers and inventors have managed to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to acplish major<9>feats〔业绩〕.Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the<10>slightestuse of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand, will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.
Unit 2
Social anxiety symptoms often begin during adolescence. It's a developmental process that is<1> characterized〔以…为特征〕by profound psychological changes, especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating<2>aspects〔方面〕of the adolescent years is the tendency for self-focus and a decrease in the<3>amountof focus we have for the feelings and needs of others.    While these changes are fairly universal, those of us who were born with a shy temperament can carry the adolescent fears, which may never<4>recede〔后退〕, into adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when<5>exposedto the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and grad
ually we bee more and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly dangerous. This may result in a<n><6>viciouscircle〔恶性循环〕for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed.    To cope with the problem, I would like to<7>challengeyou to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your<8>excessive〔过多的〕focus on yourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight. But if you begin to build a new response, in<9>reaction〔反应〕to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response. Remember, don't let self-consciousness<10>paralyze〔麻痹〕you! Be courageous!
Unit 3
Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most successful and well-known actresses in the film<1>domain.〔领域,范围〕She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to<2>define〔规定〕a p
articular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin  beauty. Today's<3>popularity〔流行〕of the slim fashion model is due to Audrey Hepburn's influence. Although she appeared frail <脆弱的>, she was<4>mentally〔精神上〕strong. At the end of her acting career when she entered a<n><5>ticklediplomatic〔外交的〕career as a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF, she was so solidly<6>mitted〔坚定的〕to her cause that she was held in highest esteem <尊重> by even the most hardened politicians.Audrey originally started working for UNICEF in 1954, doing radio presentations. She always said it was happy to<7>devoteher life to helping impoverished <穷困的> children after her own good fortune in<8>surviving〔幸存〕the hardship of the Nazi occupation of Holland. She began her permanent ambassadorship in 1988 and<9>embarked〔乘飞机〕on trips to many countries. She was always positive: "People in these places don't know Audrey Hepburn, but they recognize the name UNICEF. When they see UNICEF their faces light up, because they know that something is happening." In 1992, her<10>humanitarian〔人道主义的〕work with those in need was recognized when she was awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for her contribution to humanity.
Unit 4
"Why would you leave behind your fortable bed, your home, your family and friends? Why do you want to go alone?" When you are living out of a backpack for a period of time, you may often get questioned why. I seldom get time to sit down and<1>contemplate〔思考〕the reason I travel, but I believe that you only begin to truly live once you step outside of your<2>fort〔舒适〕zone.My first overseas trip was at 14 years old, which<3>sparked〔激发〕my curiosity for the world. Since finishing high school I have<4>ventured〔冒险前进〕through various countries and been amazed by all the<5>diverse〔不同的〕cultures scattered around the globe. My eyes are my greatest asset as they have<6>witnessedthe most beautiful scenes that replay in my mind every day:<7>stunning〔极好的〕landscapes, friendly locals, breath-taking architecture, and food that makes your mouth water once your eyes catch a<n><8>glimpse.Traveling teaches you to be independent in the most<9>positive〔积极的〕way. I know how to depend on myself, go out and meet people, and not let anyone else's expectations<10>dictate〔控制、支配〕my life. Every day I see my dream and every day it's in a new place. I am 22 years young. I quite agree w
ith Anthony Bourdain, "If you're 22, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them, wherever you go."
Unit 5
In a study conducted in the UK, it was found that only four out of every five<1>employeeswere happy at work. Surprisingly, contrary to popular<2>notion〔见解、概念〕, friendly, supportive colleagues and a good manager, instead of the salary or the love for the work, have been found to be the<3>primary〔主要的〕causes of happiness at work. So, how do you keep your spirits up and, at the same time,<4>foster〔培养〕a sense of joy on the job? Here is one of the tips to help you on your way to finding happiness and plete job satisfaction in the workplace.Start with a positive outlook. Happiness is a state of mind; it<5>reflects〔反映〕an attitude, though not many people realize it. Staying happy at work is totally based on your<6>motivations〔动机〕and on a positive outlook toward your job, not on<7>monetary〔货币性〕rewards or material gain.
Dwelling on the good<8>aspects〔方面〕of the work rather than rattling on and on  about what makes you unhappy is the basic key to happiness. Negativity and<9>gossiping〔闲聊〕about bad things may be easy, but it is looking at the bright side that makes for the challenging part of a job. As Francesca Reigler puts it, "Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves<10>miserable〔痛苦的〕, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same."
