昆明2015高考英语阅读理解、完形填空四月自练（3）答案阅读理解。success doesnt begin until you begin the walk down the way towards your goals. and your walk down the way always begins first with a baby step. why do we call them baby steps? are they really anything more than our next step down lifes way? baby steps are the first steps we take as an act of faith. we see others stepping out and we want to show our ability to walk by following them. as we grow, we continue our development by taking extra baby steps. sometimes we fall; sometimes we fail. after that, all steps become an act of faith; we just become more practiced. if you say to yourself“i dont want to make a fool of myself”or“id better be good at this”, youll probably never take the baby steps towards your goals and end up lying in your own self-pity. as a culture, we focus on results. we think about every risk that must be taken to reach our goals. there are few people who are excellent performers of any tasks the first time they try them. they fail and succeed. then, they build upon their abilities learned each time. they practice their skills and use their talents through baby steps before they are ready to prove them to the whole world. so, learn to take those baby steps to reach the goals before you. know that you can depend on god to show you the way. as you become more experienced, your baby steps become a walk, then a jump, and finally a sprint. thats how our baby steps lead us through the marathon of life. 【文章大意】千里之行, 始于足下。即使是最优秀的运动员, 在其通往辉煌顶峰的人生起跑线上, 其步履也一定是蹒跚如婴儿般孱弱。本文向我们讲述了baby steps在我们人生及成功道路上的重要意义。5. what does the writer mainly discuss in the text?
