Question

【题目】We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry. 【1】

1.Identify and understand what you want to change.

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 【2】When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

2. 【3】

Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

3. Choose the right company.

As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 【4】

4. Believe that you are able to change.

【5】 If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly that you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Your effort to change will be easier with these people as friends.

B. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

C. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.

D. Look for a role model.

E. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

F. There is always an opportunity for change.

G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.

【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述积极的生活态度对人们产生积极的影响，建议人们去结交一些生活态度积极的人，相信自己，尽最大努力去积极生活。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上文可知，如果你认为这些所有的因素都让你对生活有了消极态度，不必担心，结合下文讲述改变态度的方法可推断，总有机会改变的。故选F。

【2】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据段落标题Identify and understand what you want to change.和空格上文可知，本段讲述确定并了解你想要改变的事，改变的第一步是清楚了解什么需要改变，因此推断B项“设立明确的目标是所有努力的关键”符合语境。故选B。

【3】考查段落标题。本段主要讲述找到一个有你想要的态度的人，并让他/她的生活给你激发和鼓励，来打败你在变得更好的途中暂时的失败。因此推断本段标题为找个榜样角色。故选D。

【4】考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据空格上文“Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life.”可知，考虑交新朋友，特别是那些乐观的、有积极生活态度的朋友。因此可知你会发现和这些类型的朋友在一起，为改变所做出的努力会更小。故选A。

【5】考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格下文可知，如果你不相信自己或者自己的生活能够改变，改变就不会发生——你将永远不会开始，或者会很快结束，因此你将不会给自己成功的机会。因此推断我们与目标之间最大的障碍是认为自己没有能力改变。故选C。
