What’s your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success    1   only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements (陈述) are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways    2    not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and    3    surprisingly. As a prize, I got a film ticket to see “Titanic”. I was really    4    because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I   5    joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I    6   won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a    7    artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the   8    I produced were not of a very high standard.
These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky    9   , I also need to put in hard work. As we know,    10    makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and chance.

Saturday, June 16th  
In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining, There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way! 
We had to make a quick decision as it was raining heavily. Chris said we could set up a tent to hide in, so Mary and Tom helped to set up the tent. Chris and I tried to make a fire to keep us warm. But we were unable to light the fire, as everything was wet. We dried ourselves, chatted and waited inside the tent. At about five o’clock, it stopped raining. We decided to give up the camping trip because all of us had been very tired.
This camping trip may not be very successful but we know each other better. And the most important thing I’ve learned from this trip is the importance of team spirit.

Reading is the key to school success and, like any skill, it takes practice. A child learns to walk by practicing until he no longer has to think about how to put one foot in front of the other. An excellent sportsman practices until he can play quickly, correctly and without thinking. Educators call it “automaticity (自动性)”.
A child learns to read by sounding out the letters and finding the meaning of the words. With practice, he stumbles less and less, reading by the phrase (短语). With automaticity, he doesn’t have to think about the meaning of words, so he can give all his attention to the meaning of the text.
It can begin as early as first grade. In a recent study of children in Illinois schools, Alan Rossman of Northwestern University found that automatic readers in the first grade not only read almost three times as fast as the others, but also got better results in exams.
According to Rossman, the key to automaticity is the amount (数量) of time a child spends reading, not his IQ. Any child who spends at least 3.5 to 4 hours a week reading books, magazines or newspapers will probably reach automaticity. It can happen if a child turns off TV just one night for reading at home.
You can test yourself by reading something new which is suitable (适合) for your level. If you read aloud with expression, with a sense of the meaning of the sentences, you probably are an automatic reader. If you read brokenly, one word at a time, without expression or meaning, you need more practice.
“Reading is the key to school success” means that reading            .

Children with “automaticity” can read faster because they            .

Rossman tells that any child who             will possibly be an automatic reader.

The underlined word “stumble” in the passage means “          ” in Chinese.

The best title for the passage is “          ”.

As the Internet becomes more popular, many older media (媒体) businesses are dying out. But TV seems to be doing OK. In fact, it's doing better than OK. Though the Internet is popular in the world, television continues to draw more and more people all over the world to many of its programs. Hundreds of millions turn to TV to watch World Cup soccer，Olympic Games and Discoveries.
In many places, increasing numbers of people can watch more TV than before. Ten years ago, only 44% of British homes had satellite or cable TV(卫星或有线电视).Today, more than 93% do. More importantly, recent studies show that people are spending more time watching TV. Surprisingly, this is even true of young people between the ages of 8 and 18.Today's television industry has given so many choices. As a result, people can watch more of the things they like 24 hours a day.
The technology behind television has also improved. The big boxes that once filled living rooms are gone. Today's TV screens are thinner and thinner, yet the pictures are better and better. TVs are also moving from living rooms into kitchens and vehicles.
For years, TVs have also been used as video game players. But now they have been used in a few new ways. Many televisions can connect to the Internet and record programs. They also let people watch two programs at the same time. Today the most modern television has been on the way of development.
The Internet is the main challenge (挑战) for television now. But TV industry has shown that television will be important for years to come.
