18、hey are known as the House of Representatives and the Senate (参议院). The House of Representatives is larger than the Senate whose 100 members (two from each state) serve for six years. The 435 members of the House of Representatives are elected every two years, and the number from each state is deter

19、mined by the population of the state. For example, California, which has a large population, has forty-three Representatives, while the state of Nevada has only one. The House and the Senate are divided into small groups which take care of special matters such as education or foreign affairs. The mo

20、st important work of Congress is often done in these groups, which are called committees. According to the Constitution of the United States, a Senator must be at least thirty years old and must have been a citizen of the United States for at least nine years at the time of the election. To be elect

21、ed to the House of Representatives, a person must be at least twenty-five years old and must have been a citizen of the United States for seven years. At present, members of Congress include businessmen, farmers, teachers, and especially lawyers. In general, Senators are better known than Representa

22、tives because they are fewer in number and serve for a longer time. Many American presidents served in Congress before they became presidents. Presidents John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon were all Representatives and then Senators before becoming presidents of the United States.56. Wha

23、t is a difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives?A. The number of Senators is less than that of Representatives.B.

26、nt than the work of RepresentativesWe are often held back by a false understanding about the nature of talent and ability. We are taught that we have no more control over our talents than the color of our eyes. For many years I waited for my talent to show itself so I could reach my potential (潜力).

27、Eventually I realized that waiting is useless, that talent is a choice not a gift, and that love is stronger than any given ability. The main source of confusion is to consider talent equal to natural ability. By making this mistake we discourage ourselves from pursuing what we want. If we arent ble

28、ssed with natural ability then trying seems pointless. But talent is much more than natural ability. Natural ability will get you in the door but not much further. For example, there are thousands of people with great athleticism, but there is only one Michael Jordan. Jordan became the best because

29、he loved basketball to the point of obsession (痴迷). Passion is what encourages people to endure the hours of practice and it is countless failures that develop skills. Natural ability is unimportant compared to years of hard work and experience. If you really love something, dont be discouraged by a

30、 lack of natural ability. Just work hard to improve, study your trade, learn from experience, and before long youll go ahead of those relying on natural ability alone. The same love that makes you want to devote your life to something also encourages you to practice and develop your skills. So stop

31、waiting for your greatness to appear out of thin air. Decide what you really love and start working at it today. No one else is going to do it for you.59.

A. talent is the same as natural ability B. talent is more important than ability C. ability can be strengthened as one grows olderD. a person can never be both kind and talented 60.
