Everyone wants to have a perfect life. But how can we own that? The writer called Brian Tracy tells us some tips:
The first goal common to all of us is healthy and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the quick development of medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.
The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships, getting along well with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each time, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more effect on the quality of your life than perhaps any other reasons.
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to
be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster. You want to earn as much money as possible at any time, whatever you do.
The last goal we all have in common is to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. You want to be completely free of worries about money.
（1）The passage mainly helps us to ____________.
A . keep healthy
B . make money
C . have a perfect life
D . enjoy working
（2）We can get more healthy and energetic if we __________.
A . wear well-designed clothes
B . catch the good chance
C . have good health habits
D . eat more medicine
（3）Good relationship is needed _______________.
A . in rich areas
B . at each time and in each area
C . when we are at school
D . among people we like and respect
（4）The statement ___________ is WRONG according to the writer.
A . We can mostly design our health and our lifespan.
B . The relationship with others can effect on your life quality.
C . Money is not an important thing to a perfect life.
D . Doing work that we enjoy is a part of a perfect life.

Research proves that nearly half of the cancers diagnosed in the UK each year-over 130, 000 in total- are caused by life choices that include smoking, drinking and eating the wrong things.
Tobacco is the biggest factor, causing 23% for cases in men and 15.6% in women, says the Cancer Research UK report. Next comes a lack of fresh fruit a nd vegetables in men’s diets, while for women it is being overweight. Lead author of the report, Professor Max Parkin, said: “Many people believe cancer is related to fate or in the genes, and that it depends on luck whether they get it or not. Looking at all the evidence, it is clear that around 40% of all cancers are caused by things we mostly have the power to change.”
For men, the best advice appears to be: stop smoking, eat more fruit and vegetables and cut down on how much alcohol you drink. For women, again, the best advice is to stop smoking, but also watch your weight.
In total, 14 lifestyle and environmental factors, such as where you live and the job you do, cause 134, 000 cancers in the UK each year.
Some risk（风险）factors are well founded, such as smoking’s link with lung cancer. But others are less well recognized. For stomach cancer, a fifth of the risk comes from having too much salt in the diet, data suggests. Some cancers, like mouth and throat cancer, are caused almost entirely by lifestyle choices. But others, like gall bladder cancer, are largely unrelated to lifestyle.
Public Health Minister, Anne Milton, said: “By making small changes you can cut your risk of serious health problems- giving up smoking, watching you drink, getting more exercise and keeping an eye on your weight.”
（1）What does the underlined word “it”, in the second paragraph, refer to?
A . Change.
B . Lifestyle.
C . Cancer.
D . Weight.
（2）According to Professor Parkin, _________.
A . cancers are caused for genes
B . some cancers will probably be avoided
C . most women’s cancers are caused for no reason
D . men can keep an eye on their weight to avoid cancers
（3）According to this passage, stomach cancer can be brought on by ___________.
A . working overtime
B . taking in too much salt
C . lack of exercise
D . smoking too much
（4）What is the second factor causing women’s cancer?
（5）Give three things that we can do to reduce the risk of getting cancer.
