Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However,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,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t 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 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.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever 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 you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t 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.

答案:
(答案→)A
解析:
【小题1】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 people 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。
【小题2】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. And, in additional to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and 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. 属于原词重现。
【小题3】细节理解题根据第三段的this is a big reason why......, If you don 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, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.)有关。属于原词重现。
【小题4】推理判断题根据第四段Its sometimes 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 you e 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“thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that you e wrong anyway.”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 展现技能”表达错误。C项的表达“at the cost of life 以生命为代价”是错误的,这不符合常理,但这道题最容易出错。D项可以根据第四段最后一句的does you no good排除。
【小题5】主旨大意题可通过文章最后一段主题句Whatever 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. 以及文章多次提到要花费时间和精力可知正确选项为C。ABD项都是以偏概全。属于原词重现。
