Question

【題目】 Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (個(gè)人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.

Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.

Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保證) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.

Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失敗). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.

Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.

Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination (終點(diǎn)). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.

Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.

【解析】

成功屬于那些愿意追求成功、盡力去做他們必須做的事的人。本篇推薦一些要想取得成功實(shí)用的方法：要有實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的強(qiáng)烈愿望、必須在場(chǎng)、歡迎失敗、更加努力工作、享受成功的過(guò)程，所以要改變自己才能成功。

【1】推理判斷題。本篇從“Desire；Show up；welcome failure ；Work Harder.；Enjoy the Journey”等幾個(gè)方面陳述如何取得成功，沒(méi)有提到好的教育；故選B。

【2】詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第五段“Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day.”可知每個(gè)人都跑，但每個(gè)人都不愿意每天跑一個(gè)小時(shí)，言下之意，愿意堅(jiān)持優(yōu)秀的做事習(xí)慣是成功的原因。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。本篇從“Desire；Show up；Work Harder.；Enjoy the Journey；change, and you will succeed.”等幾個(gè)方面陳述如何取得成功，沒(méi)有提到才能，所以A表述錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段“if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.”可知如果你不在場(chǎng)，你就不會(huì)成功，所以B表述錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第五段“Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do.”可知成功不是做普通人做不到的事，所以C表述錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第四段“So welcome failure,become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed”第六段“success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey”可知要享受成功路上的得與失，所以D表述正確；故選D。

【4】最佳標(biāo)題。本篇從“Desire；Show up；Work Harder.；Enjoy the Journey；change, and you will succeed.”等幾個(gè)方面陳述如何取得成功；故選D。

【5】推理判斷題。news新聞；education教育；entertainment娛樂(lè)；advertisement廣告；本篇的主題是推薦一些如何取得成功的實(shí)用的方法，推斷本文來(lái)自教育的相關(guān)部分；故選B。

本篇是閱讀單選，考查細(xì)節(jié)理解、推理判斷、詞義猜測(cè)和綜合歸納能力。解答前要先快速閱讀全文，理解大意；再閱讀題干，正確理解題干的要求；然后回歸原文，尋找有用信息作答；題4要綜合全文的信息，了解文章圍繞主題“如何取得成功”來(lái)確定最佳標(biāo)題。題5要通過(guò)文章的主題，推斷文章的出處。
