And here is the basic  25  of success, the great secret:  26  your energy, thought, and capital (資本) wholly on the business in which you are  27  ．Having begun in one line, determine to fight it out on that  28  , to lead in it, adopt every  29  , have the best machinery, and know the most about it．

   The companies which fail are those which have 30  their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains  31   ．They have investments in this, or that, or  32  , here, there, and everywhere．“Don't put all your eggs in one basket” is all  33  , I tell you．“Put all your eggs in one basket, and then  34  that basket”．Look round you and take  35  ; men who do that do not often fail．It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．It is trying to carry too many baskets  36  breaks most eggs in this country．He who  37  three baskets must put one on his  38   , which is likely to fall down．One  39  of the American businessman is lack of concentration．

Remember: put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket． 40  Emerson says, "no one can cheat you out of final success but yourselves．"

解析:

誰不想成功呢？你知道成功的秘訣是什么？獲得成功的首要條件和最大秘訣是：把精力和財(cái)力完全集中于所干的事業(yè)上。一旦開始干那一行，就要決心干出個(gè)名堂，要出類拔萃。集中精力，把所有雞蛋放進(jìn)一只籃子并照管好那只籃子；最后，不要失去耐心，因?yàn)檎鐞勰f：“除了你自己以外，沒有人能哄騙你離開最后的成功”。

21．D結(jié)合上下文的語境應(yīng)該是“匹茲堡有許多大企業(yè)家在創(chuàng)業(yè)之初都肩負(fù)過重任”。

22．A文章開頭說年輕人應(yīng)該從頭做起，因此本題選A，at the beginning of“在……之初”。

23．C 他們起初被安排去做衛(wèi)生。

24．A與前面的broom呼應(yīng)，這里表示他們被安排去做衛(wèi)生，上班的幾個(gè)小時(shí)就打掃辦公室。

25．B從下文的敘述判斷選B，用condition表示“條件”：獲得成功的首要條件和最大秘訣。

26．A從后面的介詞搭配判斷選A，用concentrate…on表示“專心致志于”，其它動(dòng)詞選項(xiàng)的搭配為：devote…to, apply…to, bury…in。

27．B本題用be engaged in表示“忙于做某事”，相當(dāng)于be occupied in doing/ with sth．。

28．D從語境判斷本題選D與前面的Having begun in one line呼應(yīng)。

29．A語境表示采納各種進(jìn)步與改進(jìn)。本長句的含義：把精力和財(cái)力完全集中于所干的事業(yè)上。一旦開始干那一行，就要決心干出個(gè)名堂，要出類拔萃，要點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴地改進(jìn)，要采用最好的機(jī)器，要盡力通曉這一行。

30．D與下文的scattered呼應(yīng)， 本題選D：失敗的企業(yè)是那些分散了資力，因而意味著分散了精力的企業(yè)。

31．A本題用also用于肯定句，修飾動(dòng)詞或整個(gè)句子內(nèi)容，而either用于否定句的末尾，neither本身表示了否定，多用于句首，yet多用在完成時(shí)態(tài)的否定句的句末或放在句子的中間表示“然而”。

32．B與前面的this or that呼應(yīng)，這里用the other(one)。

33．C從下文的敘述可知作者在批駁這句話，因此選C。

34．D從下文的“It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．”可知本題選D。

35．A這里用take notice表示“注意”：注視周圍并留意看看，能這樣做的人往往不會(huì)失敗。

36．B本題是強(qiáng)調(diào)句結(jié)構(gòu)：正是要拿的籃子太多才會(huì)使你的雞蛋被打破。

37．C前面的carry已經(jīng)暗示本題的答案。

38．C有三只籃子的人，兩手各拿一個(gè)，另外一只就只能頂在頭上，而這只籃子就很容易被摔倒。

39．A美國企業(yè)家的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤就是缺少集中。

40．D這里用as引導(dǎo)定語從句，as在從句中作賓語，指代主句的內(nèi)容。整個(gè)句子的意思為：正如愛默生所說：“除了你自己以外，沒有人能哄騙你離開最后的成功�！�

    The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past. The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.

    During the opening ceremonies（儀式）, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels （駱駝）transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs（傳統(tǒng)文化）. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.

    The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares. The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish Line in front of the cheering people.

    Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horserace. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down -- their legs and feet straight up in the air -- all at full speed. Others rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went.

Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction（分散注意力） of TV, they might     together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our    ----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of     illness ----are caused at least in part by     to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to     our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
