6.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Five Major Differences between Successful and Unsuccessful People
Last year,Dave Kerpen,author and chief executive of Likeable Local,received a postcard that illustrated the traits and behavior of successful and unsuccessful people.He said,"The postcard has had a profound effect on me,reinforcing values I believe in and reminding me on a daily basis of the attitudes and habits that I know I need to embrace in order to become successful."
The postcard,shown below,points out five big differences between successful and unsuccessful people.
1.Successful people embrace change.Unsuccessful people fear it.Embracing change is one of the hardest things a person can do.With the world moving fast and technology accelerating at a rapid speed,it's imperative that we embrace these changes and adapt,rather than fear them,deny them,or hide from them.(36)B
2.Successful people want others to succeed.Unsuccessful people secretly hope others fail.When you're in an organization with a group of people,in order to be successful,you all have to be successful. (37)E
3.Successful people accept responsibility for their failures.Unsuccessful people blame others.(38)GBut they always accept responsibility for their failures.Blaming others solves nothing; it just puts other people down and absolutely no good comes from it.
4.Successful people give others all the credit for their victories.(39)ALetting people have their moments to shine motivates them to work harder,and,consequently,makes you look better as a leader or teammate.
5.Successful people continuously learn.Unsuccessful people fly by the seat of their pants.The only way to grow as a person,professional,and leader is to never stop learning.(40)FIf you just fly by the seat of your pants,you could be passing up opportunities that prevent you from learning and growing.
Besides the five major differences above,there are other differences:successful people exude joy,share data and information,and read every day,while unsuccessful people exude anger,hoard data and information,and watch TV every day.
A.Unsuccessful people take it from others.
B.Successful people are able to do just that.
C.Unsuccessful people talk about successful people.
D.You can learn and become more knowledgeable as you read.
E.The most successful people want to see their co-workers succeed and grow.
F.You can be a step above your competitor and become more flexible because you know more.
G.Truly successful leaders and business people experience both ups and downs in their lives and careers.
