I am an author, magazine writer, filmmaker and public speaker. I'm self-employed, which means I work for myself and I do what I love. We have a popular saying in America which goes, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." But I'm here to tell you that instead of focusing on doing what we love. I think we should focus on loving what we do.
In my line of work, you hear a lot about talent, which is an idea we've mostly invented to give ourselves an excuse to be lazy. Here is why: If you see someone doing something really well, you would say it's because they are talented. You think they are somehow special. You ignore the great amount of work they've done to get to where they are. Research has shown that talent is nothing without hard work. I choose to believe in hard work, but not so much in talent. There are no special people, just people who put in enough hard work until something special happens. I can promise you one thing: whatever you choose to do for a career, if you work hard at it, eventually, special things happen. They may not happen as quickly as you'd like them to, and they may turn out to be completely different from the special things you imagined at the beginning, but they will happen.
47. What is true about the speaker?
A. He studies film-making. B. He owns a magazine.
C. He works for himself. D. He is employed by a company.
48. The speaker's advice to the audience is ________.
A. doing what they like best B. loving the work they do
C. making no excuses for failures D. following their natural instinct
49. The speaker believes in ________.
A. hard work more than talent B. talent more than hard work
C. neither hard work nor talent D. both hard work and talent
50. From the passage, we may think the speaker is ________.
A. lazy B. hard-working C. special D. talented
51. According to the speaker, nothing special happens ________.
A. without working hard B. without talent
C. without doing what one loves D. without focusing on something special

In India, one of the most significant festivals is Diwali, which falls between October and November. It's a five-day celebration that includes good food, fireworks, colored sand, special candles and lamps.
In honor of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare, success, and well-being. People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colourful lanterns and traditional designs. In addition, many people treat themselves to fine jewelry, praying for good fortune. Those who cannot afford so much, seek out cheap items such as clothes or household goods.
The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas. For some, the day provides an opportunity to get rid of bad luck from homes and businesses. They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called Rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand.
The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur, which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessing of the goddess. As the sun sets, people light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones.
The fourth day of the festival is celebrated in many different ways. Friends and relatives visit with gifts, sweets and best wishes for the season.
And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Dooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food.
For children in India, Diwali is similar to Christmas. They get an entire week off from school and are treated to gifts, new clothes, amazing food, and, in the past at least, a large number of fireworks. It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country's favorite celebrations.
52. From the beginning of this passage, we know ________.
A. the celebration of Diwali lasts a week B. Diwali starts from Monday and ends on Friday
C. Diwali is celebrated for five days D. the festival is held on weekend
53. People celebrate the first day of Diwali for ________.
A. good fortune B. colourful lanterns C. expensive jewelry D. traditional designs
54. The probable purpose of creating Rangoli on the floor is ________.
A. to produce an opportunity in business B. to help drive away something unpleasant
C. to design traditional patterns D. to make colored powder or sand
55. What is a man likely to do on the last day of the festival?
A. Exchange gifts and best wishes with his loved ones.
B. Be busy decorating his home during the day.
C. Light his home with small lamps.
D. Get together with his brothers and sisters.
56. Which of the following may NOT be a reason for children's love of Diwali?
A. Having a week off. B. Getting Christmas gifts.
C. Enjoying amazing food. D. Setting off fireworks.

There are a few ways to improve your concentration and recall skills.
The first thing to do is make sure you get the information correct the first time. It is very difficult to obtain bad information, and then replace it with the correct information. Pay attention to the speaker carefully so that you get everything right the first time.
Next, make sure that you understand what you are trying to remember. If you do not have any concept as to what something means, you are going to have a very difficult time recalling the information. If you do not understand something the first time, go over the information again until it is thoroughly understood.
Also, being selective can help you recall information. Instead of trying to recall the entire conversation that you had with a business partner, concentrate on trying to remember the important joints. The less information that you have to remember, the easier it will be to recall it at a later point.
Concentrate on what is important, and try to test yourself as you move forward. If you are reading a book and want to remember the main theme of every page, test yourself at the end. This will let you know if you have fully understood the page. If you have trouble recalling the information, read it again.
Finally, remember to write down everything that you have memorized. The second that you leave a meeting or classroom you may want to translate your memory onto paper. This way you can repeatedly study the information at a later date.
Ways to Improve Concentration and Recall Skills
Get the correct information the first time
·You need to get everything right the first time, because it is hard to 59 the bad information you get the first time with correct information.
