Question

【題目】We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry. 【1】

Identify and understand what you want to change.

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 【2】 When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

【3】

Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

Choose the right company.

As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 【4】

Believe that you are able to change.

【5】If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly that you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Look for a role model.

B. There is always an opportunity for change.

C. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

D. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

E. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.

F. Your effort to change will be easier with these people as friends.

G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要說(shuō)明積極的生活態(tài)度對(duì)人們產(chǎn)生的積極影響，以及建議人們?nèi)ソY(jié)交一些生活態(tài)度積極的人，并且相信自己，盡最大的努力去積極地生活。

【1】根據(jù)空格上文：你經(jīng)歷過(guò)的所有事情、見過(guò)和交流過(guò)的所有人都會(huì)影響你的態(tài)度。如果你認(rèn)為所有這些因素造就你的生活態(tài)度不好，無(wú)需擔(dān)心。再根據(jù)下文小標(biāo)題中的關(guān)鍵詞change改變，可知此空要表達(dá)的意思是“總是有改變的機(jī)會(huì)”，與前面的“無(wú)需擔(dān)心”所呼應(yīng)，故選B。

【2】根據(jù)上句：改變的第一步是清楚了解自己所需改變之處。再根據(jù)下文：改變你的態(tài)度，需要你做一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)而又深入的自我評(píng)價(jià)，你能指出具體哪些特質(zhì)需要做出改進(jìn)或需要做出徹底改變。由此可知，設(shè)定明確目標(biāo)是努力成功的關(guān)鍵。故選C。

【3】此空是小標(biāo)題，根據(jù)小標(biāo)題的特點(diǎn)，結(jié)合另三個(gè)小標(biāo)題，可以確定此空應(yīng)該是一個(gè)祈使句。再根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容：找個(gè)擁有你想要的生活態(tài)度的模范，讓他或她的生活給你靈感和鼓勵(lì)，超越你的暫時(shí)失敗而變成一個(gè)更優(yōu)秀的人。故A項(xiàng)Look for a role model(給自己找個(gè)榜樣。)符合本段內(nèi)容，故選A。

【4】根據(jù)上文：如果你的周圍還是圍繞著一些消極的朋友，他們身上的缺點(diǎn)正是你想改變的，那你就別指望自己能夠做出改變；考慮結(jié)交新朋友，特別是那些樂(lè)觀又對(duì)生活有健康態(tài)度的人�？芍�與這類人交朋友你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你更容易努力做出改變。故選F。

【5】根據(jù)下文：如果你不相信自己，或者不相信你的生活會(huì)改變，那就不會(huì)發(fā)生——你要么沒打算開始，或者很快放棄，這樣的話，你甚至都沒有給自己成功的機(jī)會(huì)。此空作為首句，可知要表達(dá)的意思是：通常情況下，我們和我們的目標(biāo)之間最大的障礙關(guān)鍵在于我們自己。故選E。
