29、ht family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. 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,

30、to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that

31、 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 quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills

32、or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.

33、r 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.

34、may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.31. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about _.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success解析：段落主旨大意题。通过第一段我们可以得知作者列出很多人认为成功的因素，如“Some peo

35、ple are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence”出生在好的家庭，天赋异禀，可得知本段主要在讲一些成功的因素，故选A。此外根据上下文意思和排除法，不难得出答案是原因。其他meaning（意义），standards（标准），importance（重要性）都不正确。答案：A32. In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to _.A. being good at somethingB. setting a practical goal

36、C. putting in more timeD. succeeding in life解析：猜词题。此种题目的答案多数在前文找，根据前文，不难得知答案。However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.

37、d practicing. 译文为：然而，要在生活中取得成功，你必须要设定一个目标然后逐步将它变得更加实际。除此之外，要变得更加擅长某事，必须花费至少10,000个小时进行学习和实践。此外，也可以从结构上找到答案，出现两次的needs.答案：B33.Successful people suggest doing what one loves because _.A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. one gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to s

38、ucceed解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的this is a big reason why., If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.可知答案的关键是this。而this 指代的内容刚好是与时间（To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most p

39、eople wont put in.）有关。答案：D34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A. Successful people like to show their great skills.B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“Its s

40、ometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.”句义为很容易去认为他们是运气好，或者天生有些独特的天赋，但是这么想对你并无好处，而且极有可能你想错了。可以得知很多人的成功并不是因为天赋或运气。通过but之后的内容不难得出答案。而且也可以通过排除法得出答案。A项的show skills 表达错误。C项的表达at

41、 the cost of life 以生命为代价是错误的。D项可以根据第四段最后一句的does you no good可以知道答案。答案：B35.What is the main theme of the passage?A. Having a goal is vital to success.B. Being good is different from being great.C.

46、e.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.
