Question

【题目】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。

Too many of us are waiting too long to live our best lives. We keep putting everything off until tomorrow. Then, before we know it, we find ourselves asking, "How did it get so late so soon?"

So we’d better make today the beginning of our new life. Take time to realize what we want and need. Take time to love, laugh, cry, and learn. ____【1】___ Here are five things we should start doing today:

Accept ourselves. The secret to happiness and success is the acceptance of ourselves. We will never become who we want to be if we rely on everyone else to qualify us. __【2】____ So always go with ourselves, never against ourselves. Be who we were created to be and we will set the world on fire.

Make ourselves a priority. To tell the truth, there are only a few people in this world who will stay 100% true to us, so we should stay true to ourselves. Put our own needs into the list of things to do.

___【3】____ Don’t sit back and let things happen to us. Go out and make things happen. We are what we do, not what we say we’ll do. Stop saying "I wish" and start saying "I will". Turn our dreams into plans.

Do the work. We can’t underestimate(低估) a person who always works hard. Be that person. __【4】___ Always remember that the task ahead of us is never greater than the strength within us. Do what’s right, not what’s easy. Our dreams are worth it.

____【5】____ We can’t force things to happen; we can only drive ourselves trying crazily. There’s a time and place for everything. So don’t force what’s not yet supposed to fit into our life. When it’s meant to be, it will be. Work hard, and be patient.

A. Take positive action.

B. Enjoy every moment of life.

C. Life is shorter than it often seems.

D. Everyone has a different way of life.

试题分析：这是一篇哲理类的文章。我们常常把事情推给明天，让时间从指缝中溜走, 直到过了很久之后才意识到时间的匆匆。我们应该积极行动起来，用辛勤的付出去换取我们想要的生活。

【1】C 根据第一段“How did it get so late so soon?”和第二段“Take time to realize what we want and need. Take time to love, laugh, cry, and learn.”可知，时间总是在不知不觉中流逝, 生命是短暂的, 我们应该抓紧时间去实现梦想, 去享受生活。C项“生命本就短暂”，因此，才需要抓紧有限的时间去做想做的事情，C项符合语境，故选C。

【2】E 根据“Accept ourselves.”可知，本段讲的是“接纳我们自己”，E项“接受我们本来的样子”符合语境，故选E。

【3】A 根据“Don’t sit back and let things happen to us. Go out and make things happen.”可知, 我们不应该坐享其成，坐等机会自己找上门来，而是应该付诸行动。A项“采取积极行动”符合语境，故选A。

【4】G 根据“Do the work. 可知, 本段讲的是全身心投入工作中, 用辛勤地工作换来我们想要的东西。G“空想，将一无所获；劳动，则收获满满”符合语境, 故选G。

【5】F 根据“We can’t force things to happen…So don’t force what’s not yet supposed to fit into our life.”可知, 事情的发生都是有规律的，我们不能人为地迫使它们发生。F项“顺其自然”符合语境，故选F。
