5660.ADACC本文是记叙文。作者通过自己玩玩具火车的经历告诉我们要学会掌控自己对于某件事情的动机。41.D解析：由下文的Keepthetrain...asIcan及火车总是出轨可知，“我”给自己设定的目标太“高(high)”了。42.B解析：由下文的drivingthetrainaroundbendsatfullspeed可知，“我”让火车尽可能“快地(quickly)”跑。43.A解析：由下文的findmyselfdrivingthetrainaroundbendsatfullspeed可知，火车正以全速通过弯道，这令“我”十分“惊讶(amazed)”。44.B解析：由上文的thetrainwentofftherails及转折连词but可知，这并没有让“我”“泄气(discourage)”。45.C解析：由上文火车跑出轨道的事实可知，作者“成功(successes)”的次数很少。46.B47.D48.C解析：由上文的Thefew...reassuremethatitwaspossible可知，“我”有很“强的(strong)”动力，所以“我”“无视(ignored)”那些失败，即使成功十分“渺茫(minority)”，“我”仍不放弃。49.B50.A解析：父亲“注意到了(noticed)”“我”所做的事情，于是让“我”停下来重新“想一想(thinkabout)”自己所做的事。51.A解析：由上文内容可知，作者在玩玩具火车，所以这里是指火车的“遥控器(controls)”。52.D解析：由上文的tryhardtogetthetrain...outofmyhands可知，“我”一直在紧紧地“握着(holding)”遥控器。53.C解析：心跳很快，用beating来表示。54.D解析：由上文内容可知，“我”将目标定得太高了，所以“我”应该“降低(lower)”自己的目标。55.B解析：由上文的Withthehelpofmyfather...usesteadyforce可知，“我”最终很“容易(easily)”就成功了。56.A解析：由上文“我”玩玩具火车这件事情和最后一段中对动机的分析可知，“我”是想表明“我”对驱动力的理解，故用call。57.D58.A59.C解析：由butifnotmanaged可知，动机会让我们“受益(benefit)”，但如果掌控不好，它也会让我们“脱离(losetouchwith)”现实并导致一些“消极的(negative)”行为。60.C解析：由上文的weshouldlearntomanageoutmotivation可知，这样我们才会在生活和工作中更“有效率三、阅读理解18.
