请认真阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Truly happy and successful people get that way by becoming the best, most genuine (真实的) version of themselves. Not on the outside — on the inside. It’s not about a brand or a 36 . It’s about reality: who you really are.
Sounds simple, I know. The problem is, it’s very hard to do, it takes a lot of work, and it can take a lifetime to 37 it out.
38 worth doing in life is ever easy. If you want to do great work, it’s going to take a lot of hard work to do it. And you’re going to have to break out of your comfort zone and take some 39 that will scare you so much. But what’s the 40 of life if not finding yourself and trying to become the best?
That’s what Steve Jobs 41 when he said: Your time is 42 , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions 43 your own inner voice. You have to 44 something — your gut (直觉), fate, life, or 45 . This 46 has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Now, let’s for a moment be 47 about this. Insightful as that advice may be, it sounds a little too 48 to resonate (共鸣) with today’s quick-fix culture. These days, if you can’t tell people exactly what to do and how to do it, it 49 deaf ears.
Not only that, but what Jobs was talking about, what I’m talking about, requires focus and discipline, two things that are very hard to 50 these days. Why? Because, focus and discipline are hard. It’s so much easier to 51 to distraction (分心). Easy and addictive.
There’s a business concept called opportunity cost. When you choose one course of action, you miss out on all the other opportunities you might have chosen to 52 but didn’t. People 53 stop to consider that until it’s too late.
And yet, the opportunity for adventure is right there in front of each and every one of us. Until you take it, you’ll never know what you might 54 . All you have to do is 55 the journey. So, take action!
36. A. personality B. quality C. talent D. reputation
37. A. put B. leave C. figure D. check
38. A. Everything B. Anything C. Something D. Nothing
39. A. rewards B. chances C. advantages D. responsibilities
40. A. aim B. sense C. effect D. result
41. A. planned B. meant C. mentioned D. informed
42. A. endless B. abundant C. random D. limited
43. A. drown out B. cater for C. submit to D. dance to
44. A. trust B. deny C. admire D. forget
45. A. however B. whichever C. whenever D. whatever
46. A. truth B. approach C. imagination D. action
47. A. realistic B. enthusiastic C. energetic D. optimistic
48. A. challenging B. dynamic C. fragile D. consistent
49. A. turns out B. brings about C. falls on D. involves in
50. A. come by B. stand by C. look for D. care for
51. A. get down B. give in C. give rise D. pay attention
52. A. preserve B. create C. pursue D. abandon
53. A. frequently B. rarely C. actively D. passively
54. A. achieve B. survive C. believe D. relieve
55. A. enjoy B. expect C. design D. start
