Question

【题目】How to become successful? This is an important question most young people often think about. When I was young, I also thought about this question quite often

Firstly, I think the most important quality(品质 )that a successful person should develop is the ability to think independently. There are a lot of chances, but not many people can realize that there are chances for them to make good use of. So you should have the ability to think independently. You should be able to understand what you can do best. What is the most suitable job for you? When you choose your job, you need to keep this in mind. Maybe you are good at sales; maybe you are good at technology; maybe you are good at starting a new company; maybe you are good at working for a large company. You need to think deeply to find out what you are good at. I think that is the most important thing. Secondly, once you have figured out what you want to do and what you can do best, you should focus on it. Do not change your job every year. It is not a good thing to change your job very often. Do not change your focus, either. You should know that if you focus on something, you may be able to do it better than most other people.

每个人都渴望成功，但是怎样取得成功呢？这是每个人想要弄明白的问题。本文为我们介绍了成功人士身上的两种共同的品质。

【1】细节理解题。题意是：成功人士最重要的品质是什么？根据文章第二段的第一句话“Firstly, I think the most important quality(品质) that a successful person should develop is the ability to think independently.”可知最重要的品质是能够独立思考。故选A。

【2】细节理解题。题意是：当你选择工作时，你应该______。A. find a well-paid one找一个高薪水的工作B. find the most suitable one找最适合的工作C. ask your parents for advice询问父母的建议D. turn to successful people for help寻求成功人士的帮助。

根据第二段中“What is the most suitable job for you? When you choose your job, you need to keep this in mind.”你要牢记的是哪个工作最适合你，故选B。

【3】词义猜测题。首先找到focus on在文章中的第三段。由下一句“Do not change your job every year.不要每年换工作”可推测focus on意为“专注于”，故选C。

【4】细节理解题。题意是：作者给我们提了几条建议？根据最后一段“The two points mentioned above may be regarded as secrets of success, and they are also two pieces of advice for young people who wish to become successful in the future.”可知有两条建议，故选B。

词义猜测题是指在阅读过程中根据对语篇的信息、逻辑、背景知识及语言结构等的综合理解去猜测或推断某一生词、难词、关键词的意义。解答这类题目的常见技巧：通过语境猜测词义。通过文章主题和上下文的逻辑关系，来推测出生词或句子的含义。要求词不离句，句不离篇。从对两种事物或现象进行对比的描述中，推断出词义来。例如小题3，让推测focus on这一词组的意思，只需首先在文章找到它的位置，然后结合下文中的“Do not change your job every year.不要每年换工作”即可推测focus on意为“专注于”。
