What else? Well—it also has to be

. People don’t want to read about

, everyday life. Because of this, many stories

some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be

Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees（雇员） and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. He’s never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her, Travis took her away. “Your working uniform is your shelter,” he told her. “Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.”
Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses, an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee’s occupation. The training has, Travis says, changed his life. G&G has taught him how to live, how to focus, how to get to work on time, and how to master his emotions（情绪）. Most importantly, it taught him willpower.
At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an all-important habit: willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person s success.
And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit. “Sometimes it looks like people with great self-control aren’t working hard—but that’s because they’ve made it automatic,” Angela Duckworth, one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said. “Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.”
The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on self-control. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers’ lives. Those courses are, in part, why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year.
33. We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must
.
A. learn to give lectures
B. attend education programs
C. design a working uniform
D. develop a common hobby
34. Willpower will become a habit when employees can
.
A. focus on the profits
B. benefit from the job
C. protect themselves well
D. control their feelings well
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A. G&G has grown into a large company.
B. G&G will spend half its profits training employees.
C. G&G may become more successful in the future.
D. G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers.

Do you know the open-air art gallery in London's Blackall Street? Probably -not. Not many
Londoners know it either, but Henri does and he is willing to show it to you.
Henri used to sleep in parks until he met a charity(慈善机构) that helps homeless people get
back on their feet by becoming tour guides.
Rather than show traditional London sights, “Unseen Tours" take people off the beaten track. Henri has been teaching tourists about the history and architecture of Shoreditch, where he slept on public benches for three years.
When he felt separated from the society, contact with the volunteer network "The Sock Mob" gave Henri hope. "Not everyone just looked down on me," he said. The tours aren't the only actions trying to help those who have suffered a misfortune to stand tall again.
An innovative(创新的) college for homeless people in London, the first ofits kind in the country, is attracting hundreds of students. The Recovery College, set up by St Mungo's charity, is providing
courses designed to improve technical skills and life skills.
According to Andy Williams, who helps to organize the college, the most popular courses have proved to be about raising self-confidence and developing self-pride.
Steve, now in his 50s, told a reporter how much of a difference it makes to "have a bit of confidence". He had difficulty learning to read and had to leave school when he was 12. Because Steve's problem was not recognized at the time, he was "seen to be unable to read or write", and suffered with depression and alcohol addiction. He says the status of "student" is itselfimportant for people who are used to being treated as outcasts（被遗弃者）
Some charities aim not only to help the homeless become independent but also to make them popular. The Homeless World Cup started ten years ago. Today the tournament draws teams from 48 countries made up of players-men and women-who are, or have been, living in the streets.
It gives them a chance to become football heroes.
31. The underlined part "take people off the beaten track" means "take people to______.”
A. famous galleries
B. traditional sights
C.unusual
places
D. public benches
32. How does the Recovery College help the homeless people?
A. By training them to be guides,
B. By offering them different courses.
C. By keeping in contact with them.
D. By asking more students to help them.
33. At the age of 12, Steve _______ .
A. wasn't treated as a normal student
B. had much confidence in himself
C. didn't want to study at school
D. left school because of depression
34. The purpose of the Homeless World Cup is to help the homeless people _______.
A. become football stars
B. improve life skills
C. gain self-confidence
D. find properjobs
35. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Confidence Back Now.
B. London Tour.
C. The Popular Homeless.
D. Football Heroes.
