1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

Lionel Messi is a goal machine and is often considered one of the best football players in the world. 1. There’re so many things to be learned from his successful story.

Messi was born in Argentina and comes from a poor family. Messi grew up very with his grandmother, so when she passed away, 2. he was in deep pain and decided to make his grandmother proud of him. At five, he started playing football for a local club and dreamed of becoming a professional football player. But that dream started to fall apart when he was told he got a growth disease. 3. This meant that he couldn’t grow very tall unless he received a treatment that cost $1,600 per month. His parents couldn’t afford it. But even though Messi was the shortest player in his team, his talent was so outstanding and soon he was noticed by the coach(教练) of Football Club Barcelona. The coach was amazed by Messi’s abilities and talent. 4. 他知道他天生就该踢足球 and soon offered Messi a contract(合同) that would change his life forever.

There is no doubt Messi is successful. He even has his own word which was added to the Spanish dictionary. The word is “inmessionante”, which means the greatest player of all time. 5. 但他的成功并非偶然 or from just luck. He worked really, really hard and had to give up many things to become who he is today. “I start early and stay late day after day, year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success”, Messi once said. So give everything you’ve got and start working on your dreams.

25、When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my mistake； the bus was late.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming(克服) problems. For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early. Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility(责任心) or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs. You should accept that the person is not reliable(可靠的) and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives； they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges(挑战) and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop paying attention to “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

【1】 According to the passage, winners .

A. have responsible and able workmates

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. blame themselves rather than others

D. deal with problems rather than blame others

【2】When your workmate brings about a problem, you should .

A. blame him for his lack of responsibility

B. find a better way to overcome the problem

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able workmate for help

【3】 When problems happen, winners take them as .

A. excuses for their mistakes

B. difficulties to greater power

C. chances for self-development

D. challenges to their workmates

【4】 Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

A. A Winner’s Secret    B. A Winner’s Problem

C. A Winner’s Chance D. A Winner’s Achievement

26、After the Spring Festival，I found some of my mom's daily habits have changed．

Her cooking way was different．Vegetables that had been cooked crisply （脆） became very tender and soft．Fish that had been fried（煎炸的） became soup．Her old shredded（切成细条的） potato turned into diced potato．．．Feeling strange，Dad and I asked Mom the reason for the change．But all she said was，"Just trying a different taste．" Then she was silent．

But it wasn't just her cooking way．____ After dinner，instead of watching films on TV as usual，she would put on her newly-bought sports clothes and asked Dad to go out for a walk．After they came back home，Mom would lose herself in magazines or newspapers about healthcare．Mom almost never gets sick．Why was she suddenly interested in medicine?

I couldn't understand her "abnormal" behavior．Then one day I came across her micro blog（博客）．"While visiting my parents during the Spring Festival，I suddenly realized that they are in their 70s now，" my morn had written．"They move slowly and it is hard for them to do the housework．I should visit them more often．．．"

"Some cooking should be changed to keep them healthy．They like fish soup，diced potato，tender and soft vegetables．．．"

"I must also keep fit by doing physical exercise．If my parents are too weak to move around，I can be strong enough to take care of them．When I am old，my son can also pay less attention to taking care of me．．．"

When I read this，I felt very sorry．I used to complain that Mom didn't understand me and couldn't give me everything I wanted．I always thought there was a wide gap（沟） between us．But now I completely understand her．How great she is! She always thinks of others before herself．Everything she does is to help the people she loves live better lives．How unselfish her love is!

D．Morn complained she was very tired．

【2】Why did mom change her cooking way?

A．Because she wanted to try a different taste．

B．Because she wasn't interested in cooking any more．

C．Because she was suddenly interested in medicine．

D．Because she tried to find a cooking way suitable for her parents．

【3】The writer talks about the story mainly to show that ____．

A．Morn has changed her daily habits

B．Mom's love can be great and selfless

C．a wide gap between Morn and me

D．the importance of Mom's cooking way

27、   “The delivery(递送) driver has your food and is on his way.” This is a message you might receive after placing a takeout order. But in the near future, a self-driving car may bring food to your door instead of a human driver. Baidu and Meituan are now working together to use self-driving technology to deliver food. They will be experimenting with this in the Xiongan New Area, Beijing Evening News reported. 

The self-driving cars will mainly be used to send group orders, as opposed to the single orders that are usually handled by delivery drivers. For example, if a company orders food for its staff, a self-driving car will bring the entire order to the company. Sina Tech noted that using self-driving cars will be a revolution (革命) in the food delivery industry, as it will eliminate (消除) the cost of labor (劳动力). 

Online food delivery services have developed rapidly in China. Almost 300 million users have used online services to order food, the Xinhua News Agency reported. In 2016, Meituan Waimai ranked highest among all food delivery companies according to total orders, with Chinese food delivery company Ele.me ranking second. 

Self-driving delivery services will promote (促进) the development of the industry. But that doesn’t mean that delivery drivers will lose their jobs. There are still some problems to work out, according to internet startup service provider 36kr. For example, self-driving cars can drive smoothly on cement roads, but have problems driving on dirt roads. There are other safety-related problems that must also be solved before self-driving cars can be used .

【1】_____ are working together on self-driving delivery services.

A.Baidu and Meituan B.Baidu and Ele.me

C.Meituan and Sina Tech D.Meituan and Ele.me

【3】______ got the first place of all food delivery companies in 2016.

A.Ele.me B.Baidu C.Sina D.Meituan Waimai
