Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, besides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, which most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. Its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some unusual talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. Hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _. A . the reasons for successB . the meaning of successC . the standards of successD . the importance of success（2）The underlined word that refers to _. A . putting in more timeB . succeeding in lifeC . being good at somethingD . setting a practical goal（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _. A . work makes him feel painB . he is likely to enjoy his workC . he gives up his work easilyD . it takes a lot of time to succeed（4）What is the main purpose of the passage? A . To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B . To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C . To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D . To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.四、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)15. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使对话通顺、正确。每词仅用一次（每空一词）。exciting when start anyway oneHe Wei: This is Fun Times Park, the biggest amusement park in our city!Alice: Im _to try the rides!He Wei: What should we start with?
