6.A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭) and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention,but it's mostly for show.In reality,it's the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options,the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion?How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight,start a business,travel more)----only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best,the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things,and so we take less action,make less progress,and stay the same when we could be improving.
It doesn't have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go,something you want to accomplish,someone you want to become …take immediate action.If you're clear about where you want to go,the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

分析 本文是一篇议论文.文章以驯兽师拿一把椅子在狮子面前,狮子感到困惑,呆立不动的例子导入,其实我们人也一样,当面对多个选择时,不知该选哪一个,又怕选错了,因此往往进展很小,甚至保持原样.文章旨在告诉我们当遇到多种选择时,要专注一件事,并下决心做下去.
解答 28.A 考查细节理解.根据第一段中"When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face,the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time"可知,当驯兽师拿着椅子在狮子面前时,狮子关注椅子的四条腿,因此椅子用是用来戏耍狮子的.故选A.
29.A 考查推理判断.根据第一段中的"With its focus divided,the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next"可知,当注意力分散时,狮子开始变得困惑,人们跟狮子相似,也会困惑,不知道该怎么做.故选A.
30.B 考查推理判断.根据第三段中"This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best"可知,专家们正忙于讨论哪一种选择是最好的,这令作者苦恼,因此可以推断出作者对专家的态度是怀疑.故选B.
31.C 考查推理判断.根据第四段中"Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face,remember this:All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started."及"Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people"可知,当你面前挥舞着一把椅子时,你要集中精力做一件事,那就是开始下决心去做.成功的人的习惯之一就是在感觉准备好之前就开始行动,文中的"take immediate action"与"make a quick decision"同义.故选C.
