Ⅱ.阅读理解【主题:人与自我　天赋还是努力 】
We all know about Mozart.He is a famous musician from Austria.Many people think that his success was because of his talent.But he was also very hard-working.
Talent is something that you have naturally (天生地).It can make you become successful more easily.But being talented is not enough for most people to be successful.
Do you know the story “Shang Zhongyong” Zhongyong is a very talented boy.He wrote a poem (诗) when he was very young.Many people felt surprised about what he wrote.His father thought he didn’t need to study as hard as other people.After years,Zhongyong learned nothing,so he couldn’t write great poems.
Life is like a running race.If you stop working hard on the way,you can’t win.Quan Hongchan,an 18-year-old girl,now is a super diving star (跳水明星) in the world.While talking about her achievement,Quan’s coach (教练) said,“Her talent helped a lot.But if she didn’t work hard,she could never be so successful.” How did she make it She usually arrived for training half an hour earlier than others.
