    How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.  

    First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose”---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment(忠诚). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to work hard whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have.

    Rather than be negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

       A. the main concern of successful people

       B. the job that successful people do

       C. the commitment with which successful people do their jobs

       D. the business that successful people do with other people

    47. By living a life “on purpose”, successful people can do the following EXCEPT ____.  

       A. do a lot of work   

       B. concentrate on their jobs

       C. do business with many people     

       D. control things in life

    48. The underlined word “spur ” most probably means “____”.

           Patricia asked for the cheapest car available at Acme Car Rental. She needed a car for 48
    hours. Because it was the weekend,there was only one car available at the moment-an SUV.
    Patricia was an environmentalist. SUVs,which are big cars consuming a lot of gasoline,offended
    her greatly.
           But she needed something to get to Baker,a town that was 100 miles from the small airport.
    So she went, RentMe instead. "I need a car for 48 hours," she said," and I don't want an SUV.
    I want something cheap. "They told her they had just the vehicle for her,a 1998Toyota. Thirty
    dollars a day,including insurance and other incidental fees. All she had to do was to pay forher
    own gasoline. Patricia was very pleased. Thirty dollars a day was a good rate even for a weekday.
    She signed all the paperwork,and they gave her the keys.
            The Toyota was a 4-speed,4-cylinder,2-door beauty,the paint,tires,and the interior were like
    the new. It was comfortable, even though the air-conditioner was not the frostiest(结霜的) . She
    got in and drove north. It was a two-lane road all the way to Baker,with only one town between
    the airport and Baker. That town was Noms,40 miles from Baker.
            Patricia didn't make it to Norris. The car refused to run 30 minutes after she had been driving
    it. Fortunately,her cell phone was able to connect back to the RentMe desk. "My car stopped
    running. and I'm out here in the middle of nowhere in the hot sun! " she said.
           "That doesn't make any sense," said the clerk."You did put gas in the car before you left town,
    didn't you? "
            "No. Of course not ! "  yelled Patricia. " Why would Iput gas in the car before I even got out
    of town?" "Well,why do you think you got such a good
    rate-we save money by having the customer gas up instead of us having to put gas in the car. "
           "I was in a hurry,"said Patricia.
           "Well,sometimes you pay a price for being in a hurry," said the clerk. " We'II send a man out
    with some spare gas for you:if you'd like. ,,"
           Of course l'd like , " said Patria.ia. " How long willit be?"
           The clerk told her it would be within the hour. He didn't tell her that there would be a  $ 50
    service charge for delivering the gas,or that the 3 gallons of fuel would cost her $ 7 a gallon. She
    would get that bad news when she retumed the car to the airport.
