Or how hard it is to be a

17、mong people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well， obviously its because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply， the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something， our brains model after it， whether or not we actually perform the same action. Thi

18、s explains a great deal about how we learn to smile， talk， walk， dance or play sports. But the idea goes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be fou

19、nd all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for exam

20、ple： “The hand took hold of the ball”)， the same mirror neurons weretriggeredas when the action was actually performed (in this example， actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and beha

21、vioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责). However， it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave， communicate and

22、spend time together. Indeed， it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einsteins theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does well， perhaps youll understand why.1Mirror neu

In addition, my second novel hadnt sold as well as the first one. It seemed that I was watching my career going downward

26、s. It was so terrifying. However, as I shared my fears with my mother, she said something I would never forget: “I would love you if you were a garbage man.” She wasnt looking down upon garbage men. She was just saying that whatever my job was, she loved me. It was just her honest feeling at that mo

27、ment, but those simple words are still the ones I use to fight so many of my fears today. To this day, when I sit down to write every day, I say those words to myself, “Id love you if you were a garbage man.” I can still feel the selflessness of my mothers love. A few years ago, my mother passed awa

28、y because of breast cancer. It was she who set me on the path of writing a series of childrens books to give strength to my own children. The first two are Im Amelia Earhart and Im Abraham Lincoln. In six months, well publish Im Rosa Parks. For me, this isnt just a book series. Its my dream for my o

29、wn daughter, for my sons, and for all of us who need to see the power and potential (潜力) in each of us. This series was born also because I was tired of my daughter thinking that reality TV stars were heroes. I tell my kids all the time: Thats fame (名气). Fame is different from being a hero. I wanted

30、 my kids to see real heroes who are no different than themselves. For this reason, each book tells the story of the hero when he/she was a kid. We see them as children. So its not just Amelia Earhart andAbraham Lincoln being famous; its them being just like us. Look around. We live in a world that d

31、esires heroes. Our solution is what my mother taught me with her words: the power of an ordinary person. I can proudly repeat my mothers words to my kids.

43、ake pictures of. I usually saw about 10 to 15 bears at a time, but as many as 600 living near came to this river when the salmon(鲑鱼) were swimming there to lay their eggs.

44、loser. Over time, the bears were used to my being there. But if a bear started moving its head from side to side.

49、人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, you

50、r goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You cant have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You cant get your dream job, if youre afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesnt guarantee(保证) success, but if

51、you dont show up, you wont succeed.Fail. Unless youre willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success wont happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula

52、（公式）for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.Work Harder._Success is not about doing what the common person cant do. Its about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper le

53、vel, its about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. Its the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination(终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the

54、enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what youve got.” You have to changeyou will change, you will succeed.1Which of the following is NOT mentioned in achieving success?AGood education. BWorking hard.CStrong de

55、sire. DEnjoying failure.2What does the writer really mean by saying “Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”?AIts not easy for people to develop their health.BKeeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.CYou are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.DMost people dont want to spend too much time running.3What does the writer mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph?AFailure is the mother of success.BMany hands make light work.CEvery dog has its day.DActions speak louder than
