Day 6
一、阅读理解（共25小题，每小题2分，共50分）
A
Are you the type of person who sticks to something once you have made your mind up Do you set your heart and mind on something and then go for it without stopping Have you ever been described as strong-minded
If so, you are probably a very determined character. Determination is about moving forward to achieve your goals and not giving up when you meet difficulties. It is the willpower that helps you control yourself and achieve what you want. It is an inner strength (内在力量) that helps us to stay on course and reach our goals, no matter what.
Being determined is a very good quality to have. So how can we become determined
Learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of those around you. Learn to look at the past as training for the future. Use those mistakes as a chance to learn something new.
Don’t be scared of failing. Failures are just stepping stones on the road to success. What you should be scared of is not giving your goal 100% effort. Just think about how you will feel if you give up on it.
Don’t waste time worrying about the things you can’t change. Use your strength and your determination to achieve things that you can control.
Be patient. The road to your goal may be long and arduous at times and you need to make great efforts on the way. Sometimes determination is about being prepared to wait for the right chance, and being ready when it comes up.
Don’t stand in your own way. This means believing in yourself and not setting limits (限制) on yourself. To do something you’ve never done before, you need to become someone you’ve never been before. You have to be prepared to make changes.

In the book, he describes the hutong and the shouts of street vendors (小贩) so lively that you feel like you’re right there.
Meyer saw great changes in the neighborhood. The old houses made way for high buildings, shopping malls and other symbols 52 modern life. However, in the face of rapid changes, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong. People still kept traditions like hanging “fu” and Spring Festival couplets. Meyer shows us how these traditional 53 (custom) helped people hold onto their roots (根脉) as old buildings went away around them.
The Last Days of Old Beijing showed new sides of the city I hadn’t seen before. 54 touching it is when those small details of daily life in the old neighborhoods came to me! It made me think about how we can keep our traditions alive while also moving forward with changes.
