One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (be) how they measure success . I see individuals getting  {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (frustrate) as they struggle hard for success.

    The main reason is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. We should look at {#blank#}3{#/blank#} own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine {#blank#}4{#/blank#} it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind.

    Evaluating a successful person needs {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (look) at his pathway to success, his action and his{#blank#}6{#/blank#} (determine). You must set your own course of action, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself.

    Here is the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (true). Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become, but it is something you continue being.

    When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less depression. And that {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (sound) good to us!

    Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in {#blank#}10{#/blank#} great way.”

    My mother and my brother were taking a trip to Washington, D.C. They came back with the most{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(amaze) story I have ever heard!

    When they passed by New York, their train failed to work{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(proper), the conductors asked everyone to move forward to another train. When everyone{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(seat), my mother realized she didn't have her handbag, in {#blank#}4{#/blank#}was her money, tickets, credit card and license. She rushed to a conductor. “Excuse me, I left my bag on the other train. Can you stop the train?” The conductor replied, “Oh, I'm sorry,{#blank#}5{#/blank#}we cannot let you off.” My mom quickly picked up her cellphone,{#blank#}6{#/blank#}only thing she had, and started calling someone for help but{#blank#}7{#/blank#}vain.

    Luckily, when the train finally stopped in Delaware, a man left the train and handed my mom $ 112. My mother thanked him and felt grateful for his {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(kind). She got the man's address and promised{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(find) a way to pay him back. My mother and my brother finally arrived in Washington, D.C., but did not get to do all the things as{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(plan). They got to take a few like rides, buy souvenirs, and more. They made the best of the worst vacation!

    As a saying goes, he who doesn't reach the Great Wall is not a true man. The Great Wall in China {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (impress) everyone who sees for the first time {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the general tourists to scholars. The vastness of the structure helps children grasp the great {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (achieve) in human history and can help inspire them {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (learn) more about human success over one thousand years.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} (construct) over a period of 2,000 years, the stone solider {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (actual) consists of many great walls, some of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} date back to the fifth century B.C. The first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (order) these earlier long wall sections linked and extended with watchtowers to protect the new empire from northern tribes. Succeeding emperors and dynasties continued the construction.{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (spread) westward into the Gobi desert to guard {#blank#}10{#/blank#} Silk Road. All together, the walls may have stretched more than 30,000 miles.

    There are several reasons why school uniforms are good idea. First of all, uniforms help the school look smart. The students feel that they belong to a particular group. When every pupil in the school wears the uniform, nobody {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (have) to worry about fashion(时尚). Everybody wears{#blank#}2{#/blank#} same style of clothes. Uniforms can be useful in unexpected ways, A school in Ireland has introduced an interesting new uniform. On the edge of the jacket, there is a piece of cloth {#blank#}3{#/blank#}gives off light in the dark. When the children are walking or {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (cycle) to school on dark mornings, car drivers can {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (easy) see them.

    But can uniforms help improve school standards? The answer {#blank#}6{#/blank#} this question is not clear. One study in America found that students' grades {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (improve) a little after the school introduced uniforms. But some students didn't want {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (wear) the uniform. Other American studies showed no {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(connect) between uniforms and school performance.

    School uniforms are {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (tradition) in Britain, but some schools are starting to get rid of them. Some very good schools don't have a uniform policy. However, uniforms are still popular. Pupils at about 90 percent of British secondary schools wear uniforms.
