mself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to satisfy in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already. It is not likely that everyone is, mistaken in this; it shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better endowed with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things, for it is not enough to have a good mind: what is most important is to apply it rightly. The greatest souls are capable of the greatest vices; and those who walk very slowly can advance much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray.

For my part, I have never presumed my mind to be more perfect than average in any way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my memory as capacious or prompt, as those of some other men.

And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, inasmuch as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us, and to follow in the common opinion of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.

According to the author, the three elements that comprise the perfect mind are ______.

A．tenacity of thought, capacious memory, quickness of mind

B．precise imagination, tenacity of memory, quickness of thought

C．quickness of wit, ease of conscience, quickness of thought

D．promptness of memory, distinctness of imagination, quickness of thought

The Olympics

1 The Olympic games are an international sports competition. In the Olympics, athletes take part in many different types of sports. Some athletes compete in the Winter Olympics. s Some compete in the Summer Olympics

2 The Olympic games are very old and have a very interesting history. The first Olympic Games were held in Greece in ancient times. They probably began in the eighth century, B. C. the contests were held every four years in summer. The first games lasted for only one day. There was only one contest: a short race. Only Greek men were allowed to run in the race. No women and no non-Greeks were allowed to take part. Women were not allowed to watch the race either, or to be anywhere near the racing area. But the ancient games were stopped in the fourth century, A. D,when Greece was ruled by Rome

3 The Olympics were started again in the nineteenth century, after Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman, suggested that it would he good to have the games again, but not just for Greek people. De Coubertin organized a meeting in 1894. Representatives from nine countries went to the meeting, in Paris. They agreed to start the Olympic Games again in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The Olympic Games have been held every four years since 1896 However, the games were not held three times - in 1916, 1940 and 1944-because of the two world wars

4 De Coubertin also started a committee to run the Olympics. This committee is called the International Olympic Committee. It makes the rules for athletes in the Olympics

5 These rules are very strict. (1) Everyone who would like to be in the Olympics must be an amateur. They must not have played the sport professionally. (2) There are no age limits. An athlete can be young or old. (3) No one can be kept out of the Olympics because of religion, color, or political ideas. (4) Only people who were born in a particular country can represent that country in the Games. (5) In each event, each country can have only three entries in the summer games, and four entries in the winter. These rules help to make sure that everyone has the same chance of winning

6 The events and games are of several different types. There are individual contests, where each athlete competes alone. To win this type of contest, one athlete must be better, faster, or stronger than other athletes Some examples of individual sports are swimming, running, and walking races. In a second group of events and games, three or four athletes work as a group. These contests are usually races, and the fastest group wins. For these small groups, there are relay races in running and swimming in summer, and relays in skiing in winter. In a third group of games, teams from each country compete in sports. For teams, there are many kinds of games. They play games such as basketball, football, and volleyball. To win these games, one team must have a higher score than the other team The athletes must usually be able to catch, throw, hit, or kick a ball very well to win

7 For an amateur athlete, winning in the Olympics is a great achievement. The Games are not easy to win, whether an athlete competes in the summer or in the winter. There are many excellent athletes who compete alone, in small groups, or on teams. An athlete who wins the Olympics is the best in the world

ry often, the occasional change is especially difficult but they usually muddle through. For companies more experienced with organizational change, the change process goes better. But even the companies who do change best cannot do it as well as they can run their daily businesses. Of those companies best at change, few would be willing to adopt a change standard of on target, on time, and on budget. And therein lies the problem; companies are not changing well enough to avoid negative consequences, much less use change as a competitive weapon.
