If you lose 12 times, will you just give up? Dale Carnegie, a pioneer in public speaking and self-development, kept trying. And he became famous by showing people how to be successful.
Carnegie was born in 1888 in the central United States. As a son of a farmer, the boy had to get up at 4 a.m. every day to milk the cows. When Carnegie first entered college, he felt hopeless because of his clothes and ordinary (普通的) looks. His mother encouraged him, “Why not try to be better in other things instead of just dress and good looks?”
Carnegie tried to be more active in college. He joined the debate (辩论) team. But one after another, he lost 12 times. The young man was so disappointed in himself that he even thought of ending his own life for so many failures.
But soon Carnegie was seen practicing public speaking on the riverside. His hard work brought good results at last. In 1906, Carnegie won a famous speech match and became widely famous.
The young man made his own words come true: “Believe that you will succeed, and you will.” In order to share his success, Carnegie started schools and wrote books. More than 50 million copies of his books have been printed in 38 languages. They are still helping people on the road to success.

请根据所听内容，在每小题给出的三个选项中，选出一个能完成句子的最佳答案。独白听两遍。 Let me tell you something about eating at American restaurants.
First, in the USA, people prefer waiting for a table to sit with people they don’t know. If you are sitting at a table with people you don’t know, it is not polite to smoke without asking first.
Then, at American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served cold water before you order. You may find free bread and butter, and if you order coffee, you may also get a free one.
Next, servings in restaurants are often large. If you can’t finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food, ask a waiter for a “doggie bag”. It may have a picture of a dog on it, but everybody knows you are taking the food away.
Finally, tips are not usually added to the bill. They are not included in the price of the meal. You should leave it on the table when you decide to go. In some restaurants, a waiter brings a bill on a plate and you put your money there. Then they give you your changes. D．听填信息
