Five Things Ambitious People Never Say

◆“I can’t do this—it’s too hard.”

Ambitious people never limit themselves or undervalue hard work with these words. 【1】 .

◆“I’m not good enough.”

Ambitious people never say they are not good enough. Saying you are not good enough holds you back and makes you easy to quit when things get a little rough. And quitting when things get a little rough is never a good thing. The most successful people in the world are not quitters. 【2】 Be confident and believe in yourself, or no one else will.

◆“I won’t make it through the obstacles(障碍).”

Challenges and obstacles are tests of your resolve(决心) and desire to succeed. 【3】 They say they will make it because they know better things lie ahead-the sun always shines after the storm.

◆ 【4】

The only time people won’t take you seriously is if you don’t take yourself seriously. Insisting that people won’t take you seriously is an excuse not to do what you know you should do. Ambitious people never say these words. Start respecting yourself and honoring what you do and people will respect and take you seriously.

◆“I’m going to fail for sure.”

【5】 It can teach you valuable lessons and redirect you to the right path. Ambitious people don’t say they are going to fail and let that stop them from trying. They challenge the fear of failure by taking calculated risks(甘冒风险) because they know the only time you are truly defeated is when you don’t try at all.

【解析】

试题分析:本文讲述的是有抱负的人不会说的五件事情。

【1】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据此段的小标题“I can’t do this—it’s too hard.”：我不能做这个，它太难了。因为有抱负的人不会说的五件事情，所以此处应该是有抱负的人可以做。故选D。

【2】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据全文以及小标题所提及，世界上有些人遇到困难就放弃，与此相反的是，有抱负的人都是会相信自己的能力可以解决问题。故选B。

【3】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据小标题所述我不能通过障碍解决问题。有抱负的人不会这么说，所以他们可以通过困难解决问题。故选A。

【4】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据此段第一句The only time people won’t take you seriously is if you don’t take yourself seriously. 如果你不看重自己别人也不会看重你。可知此处小标题应该是人们都不都重视我。故选E。

【5】C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后文It can teach you valuable lessons and redirect you to the right path. 它可以教给你有价值的课程和帮你指正确的道路。加上后文的failure可知，此处的它指的是failure，因为有抱负的人不会说，所以此处应该是失败会导致不好的结果或与之接近的意思。故选C。
