what drives them? interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.first of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. they realize that their future lies in their own hands. they understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. but in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. they take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose”- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. in their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. they hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. they love what they do - and it shows. people want to do business with them because of their commitment(忠诚). to live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. besides, they never easily give up. once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to work hard whatever it takes to achieve their goals. top achievers always bear in mind what they dont have.rather than be negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.58. the underlined word “it ” refers to “_”.a. the main concern of successful people b. the job that successful people doc. the commitment with which successful people do their jobsd. the business that successful people do with other people59. by living a life “on purpose”, successful people can do the following except _.a. do a lot of workb. concentrate on their jobsc. do business with many peopled. control things in life 60. the underlined word “spur ” most probably means “_”.a. encourage b. excite c. relieve d. force第二节 6选5 （共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）awhy exercise?bhealthy eatingca picture of being healthydexercise tips ethe importance of being healthy fa healthy combination61_you use energy for everything you dothat energy comes from the food you eattoo much food or too little exercise causes your body to store the extra energy in fat cellslighten up on the food or increase your exercise and you might drop a few poundsbut if you exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet, youll feel more healthy and strong as well as look great62_you probably have an image in your mind of what the perfect or ideal body looks liketry not to press yourself to look that wayeach person is born with genes that control the shape of his /her bodyeveryone i
