The Winner’s Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 【1】 .

Be responsible for yourself

Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power. 【2】 .

Write a plan.

It’s very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It’s just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 【3】 . Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map”, you will enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

【4】 .

Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard---even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.

Never give up.

【5】 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.

A. A good plan is like a map to you.

B. It seems to us that everyone knows this, but it is easier said than done.

C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they don’t work hard earlier.

D. You're saying, "You have more control over my life than I do."

E. Someone else’s opinions of you don’t have to become your reality.

F. Be willing to pay the price.

G. Here are some keys to success that they give.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】D

【3】A

【4】F

【5】B

【解析】

試題分析：每個人都想成功，但究竟怎么樣才可以成功呢？作者在文章中給出了成功人士提出的成功四要素。

【1】G 本句屬于連接上下文的承上啟下句。文章接下來的四部分都是這些成功人物給出的關(guān)于如何取得成功的建議，所以G項“Here are some keys to success that they give.”符合上下文串聯(lián)，把第一段和下面四部分聯(lián)系在一起。

【2】D 根據(jù)橫線前句“In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power.”當(dāng)你說外界的事物阻止你取得成功，你就是在放棄你自己的權(quán)力。也就是說你讓其他事物影響你的內(nèi)心了。故D項正確。

【3】A根據(jù)橫線前句說明很多人都是在沒有計劃的情況下就開始的，那么就好像是在一個完全不熟悉的路上開車一樣，所謂預(yù)則立，所以我們做任何事情，都要有一個詳細(xì)的計劃。故A項符合上下文。

【4】F 根據(jù)本段最后一句If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.如果你不愿意付出代價，你將無法獲得任何有價值的東西。本段告訴我們要付出一定的代價，才能取得成功。故F項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】B根據(jù)本段最后一句Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success說明我們總是告訴自己不要放棄，但是這樣的話，說比做容易，故B項符合上下文。
