17.I watched the two of them,both a year old,on the floor,surrounded by candy.He crawled on his hands and knees while she sat there looking at her birthday dress.The colorful fishie pinata (彩罐) had just been broken and the candy littered the ground.Both of their kids were too young to realize that they were sitting,and crawling around in a collection of wrapped sugar goodies.They were surrounded with edible(可食用的) goodies but had no clue!Suddenly I saw the life metaphor(比喻).If we are the"babies"and the candy is"opportunity,"often we don't recognize it because the opportunity comes wrapped as hard work.We may not give the wrapper the time of day,unless we realize that inside there's a piece of delicious candy.
Every tree starts as a seed.Every person who becomes well-known was once someone nobody"knew."So what changed for these people?Did the world suddenly wake up and find they have the potential to succeed?Of course not.These people worked for long periods of time before they saw any payoff.
It can be disheartening when you're starting out.There's a huge learning curve for almost everything.Just when you feel like you're making rapid progress,you realize there's more to learn.Every new door opens to a brand new room,with another door at the end.
When I was in recovery from my eating disorder,there were many opportunities that I didn't recognize as candy.At first,I didn't see therapy(治疗;疗法) leading anywhere.It was only by going to therapy every week for a year that I was finally able to realize the opportunities.I had the opportunities to examine and adjust my thinking,and to challenge the negative mindsets I had about my life.
When I look back,I find that many of the opportunities that allowed positive growth didn't always appear easy or fun.They often appeared as something that looked like hard work.But when we focus,consistently show up,and put in hard work,it will result in candy.
32.Why do many people miss their opportunities according to the author?B
A.Their hard work fails to pay off.B.They don't work hard consistently.
C.They haven't realized their potential.D.They don't value their opportunities.
33.What does the author think of the learning process according to Paragraph 4?B
A.It is often interesting for most people.
B.It is often long and hard for most people.
C.You can speed it up with the help of others.
D.You can predict your progress from its start.
34.How did the authors eating disorder affect her emotionally?A
A.She lacked hope for her life sometimes.
B.She was unwilling to do therapy at first.
C.She refused to change her eating habits.
D.She liked eating candy very much.
35.What would be the best title for the text?D
A.Power of positive thinkingB.Candy and achievements
C.Hard work leads to successD.Opportunities come candy-wrapped.
分析 作者由被糖纸包裹的糖果联想到生活中被持续的努力所包裹的机会,
解答 32.B细节理解题.由第二段和第三段,尤其是第三段中的"These people worked for long periods of time before they saw any payoff"可知,成功的人在成功之前一直努力,最终抓住机会,获得成功.由此可知,很多人没有抓住机会,是因为他们没有持续付出努力.故B选项切题.
33.B推理判断题.由第四段中的"It can be disheartening when you're starting out…Just when you feel like you're making rapid progress,you realize there's more to learn"可知,学习的过程开始很难,当你感觉你取得快速进步的时候,你会意识到有更多需要学习的东西.由此可知,学习的过程是漫长的,有学不完的东西.故B选项切题.
34.A推理判断题.由倒数第二段中的"challenge the negative mind sets I had about my life and my body image"可知,饮食紊乱导致作者的生活态度有时很消极.故A选项切题.
35.D标题归纳题.作者由被糖纸包裹的糖果联想到生活中被持续的努力所包裹的机会,文章首尾呼应,故D项作标题最合适.
