Moving to a new city and state was difficult for me，especially in winter．Little did I know that a Colorado snowstorm would greet me after I had been in my new home for only a week．
I just missed home．But more than the old house and the beach，I missed Stacey，my best friend．And I missed our lovely tea．Going to a sweet little tearoom，we had discovered was a special treat for us．The place was a Victorian dream，with delicate teacups and tablecloths with flower prints．The hat shelf near the front door swept us back to childhood．Stacey and I became little girls，trying on different hats until we found the perfect one for our dress-up tea party．We would then choose a lovely table and order our tea．That was a precious time，filled with laughter between scones（煎饼） and sharing our lives between tiny cucumber sandwiches．
Springtime descended upon Denver，and the sun lightened my heart．But I still fought loneliness almost every day．I decided to explore the Denver area．While my husband went to the office，I took time to see what our new area had to offer．
One day，I was walking along the street when suddenly the words "Tea Leaves" caught my eye．A tea room？Here，in the land of loneliness and pain？
I walked through the doors，and tears came to my eyes．It was a beautiful room，not Victorian，but simple and lovely．
I sat down and ordered a pot of tea，a cucumber sandwich，and some scones．It felt silly and wonderful --- and it felt like home．For the first time since moving，I felt as if this new city and state could be，would eventually be，my home．I would come back here and bring new friends．When Stacey visited，we would come here．
I lifted my cup and made a silent toast．I toasted Stacey，whom I missed，and I toasted the sweet little tearoom that lessened my pain．

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.I'm not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances don't come into play because they do.Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and that's just the reality of how life is.
However，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practising.To become great at certain things，it'll require even more time，time that most people won't put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love.If you don't enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and there's a huge chance that you're wrong anyway.
Whatever you do，if you want to become great at it，you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.If you're not willing to put in the time and work，don't expect to receive any rewards.Consistent，hard work won't guarantee you the level of success you may want，but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about .
A．the reasons for success
B．the meaning of success

D．the importance of success
（2）Successful people suggest doing what one loves because .
A．work makes one feel pain
B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．one gives up his work easily
D．it takes a lot of time to succeed
（3）What can we infer from Paragraph 4？
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
（4）What is the main theme of the passage？
A．Having a goal is vital to success.
B．Being good is different from being great.
C．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
D．Luck，talent and family help to achieve success.
