Question

14．As we all know，being successful is closely tied to what your attitude is．Today we are going to look at four common beliefs/attitudes held by many that may affect their being successful in many aspects of their lives．
1．Being Lucky
It is all too often people consider the good fortune of others as being the result of pure luck．What a copout!By having the mindset（思维定势） that luck is something that randomly falls out of the sky，many people put limits on themselves as to what they could have accomplished．
2．Associating Displeasure with Work or Study
Think about how you can perform well in an environment that is boring or unappealing to you．To most failures，I assume your failure is mainly because your heart is not into it and your attitude therefore does not allow you to be at your most productive．
3．      
A commonly accepted belief is：to be successful you MUST devote many hours along with many years．As a matter of fact，long hours and hard work doesn't necessarily mean success．After all，success depends on many factors．
4．Self Imposed Limitations
Many have grown to believe they can not achieve success due to a variety of reasons．In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can not succeed than efforts leading to success．
The only limitations we face in our lives are the ones we place upon ourselves． If you are not willing to remove some of these limitations and at least try，you would be content with what you have in life and never possess success．

76．What is the purpose of the writer？（Please answer within 30words．）
The purpose is to inform people of four common beliefs affecting their success and analyze why they are harmful．
77．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one？
Actually，many people would rather make an excuse for their failures than attempts for their success．
In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can't succeed than efforts leading to success．
78．Fill in the blank in the passage with proper words．（Please answer within 10words．）
Long hours and hard work equal success
79．As a senior school student，which of the beliefs above might affect your success，and how would you overcome it？（Please answer within 30words．）
The answers may vary．
80．Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese．
如果你不愿摆脱部分局限性的看法且做出尝试，而是满足于现状，你永远不会拥有成功．．
