Question

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Are you still disappointed at your failure? Stop sighing, and change your mental model.

Change your view on “success” and” failure”.

Most people have the following mental model: SUCCESS—YOU—FAILURE. 【1】but what if you change that model? YOU—FAILURE—SUCCESS. Instead of for viewing failure as something to be avoided, turn it into a “steppingstone” on the path to success

Increase your failure rate.

If it is true that the more we fail ,the more we succeed then your immediate goal should be to intentionally increase your failure rate! 【2】Intentionally increasing failure means the more people tell you “no”, the closer you will get to ultimate success.

Set “No” goals.

【3】But how about setting goals for failure? The exciting aspect is how it keeps people “in the game ”when they are “red hot”. If all you have is “yes” goals and then you slow down or quit when you are successful, the hot steak end .But if you keep going when you get the “yeses” of life, the sky is the limit

【4】

If the key to success is to increase our failures, then it makes sense to celebrate our setbacks. Yes, you heard right: if someone turns you down, celebrate it! Instead of mentally punishing yourself for not succeeding, buy yourself ice cream and say ,”I am one step closer to success ! ”Stop letting failure have a negative impact on your thoughts and emotions.

A.See courage as a muscle

B.Celebrate your failures.

C.Everyone sets success goals

D.With this thought in mind, you are succeeding even when you fail

E.All the courage you need to achieve success is already in you ,just waiting for you to take action

F.They see themselves in the middle, and do everything they can to move toward success and away from failure

【2】D

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】

本文是說明文。生活中遇到失敗時我們多數人會失落，作者建議我們改變心智模式，改變對失敗的態(tài)度。文中給了幾點具體建議。

【1】

本段建議我們改變對“成功”和“失敗”的看法。上句介紹的是大多數人的心智模式SUCCESS—YOU—FAILURE ，F項：他們把自己放在中間，盡一切可能走向成功，遠離失敗。是對上句模式的解釋，且選項中的success和failure對應本段標題，故選F。

【2】

本段建議我們增加失敗率。上句提到如果我們失敗的越多，成功的就越多，那么現在的目標應該是有意地增加失敗率! D項：有了這個想法，即使你失敗了，你也會成功。與上句連接，選項中的this thought指的是intentionally increase your failure rate，故選D。

【3】

本段建議為失敗設立目標。下句：但是為失敗設定目標又如何呢?根據But可知前后句意思應該轉折，C項：每個人都設定成功的目標。是我們常規(guī)的想法，符合此處語境，與下句轉折。故選C。

【4】

本題是段落標題，根據段中的celebrate our setbacks和celebrate it!可知是建議我們慶祝挫折，慶祝失敗。B項：Celebrate your failures.概括了本段內容，故選B。
