请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Some days you wake up and right when you are going to begin your work, you feel a presence within you that stops you from doing so．You don’t want to work today and you don’t feel motivated to do anything but just escape．Without this motivation, you feel a little hopeless, lost, and stuck．But sometimes even if there is no motivation, you can still feel inspired．
Connect the Dots
Steve Jobs has never finished college．After studying in college for 6 months, he couldn’t see the value in it and dropped out．Not knowing where to go in life, he decided to take a class in calligraphy(书法)．Ten years later, he designed something that has affected the different types of typography(排版)that we use today．If he hadn’t dropped out in college, he would never have taken that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography．
Sometimes when you’re trying to reach a goal, it’s impossible to connect the dots where you currently are．Somehow you just have to trust yourself, and have faith that you will reach your dreams, despite not having the slightest clue or perfectly laid-out road to where you are going．Nobody can connect the dots looking forward; you only can connect them when you’re looking backwards．You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future; you have to trust in something, whether it’s destiny(天数，命运)or not, but trusting yourself is the first step towards feeling inspired and having the motivation to move forward．
Perfect Your Environment
Look around your room right now or your workspace．Does it inspire you? Does it give you motivation? Is it noisy or quiet? Sometimes the hardest thing we do to ourselves is try to force ourselves to work in an area that is subconsciously telling us,“I can’t work here．”
And when you are constantly trying to discipline yourself, you will feel worse and be less productive．Instead try to build your ideal workplace and ideal time．Perhaps add a piece of artwork or a quote of your favorite person nearby you on the wall．Maybe add a beautiful plant in the corner to give you inspiration．If you feel more energy and enthusiasm during the night, schedule your day to work at midnight if you can．If you can realize the power of having a productive environment, you will naturally feel inspired and motivated to get work done．
Don’t Work So Hard
If you’re trying to force your way into taking action, it could be a sign that you are working too hard．Most people won’t wake up and waste an hour imagining, thinking further, or confirming, and the first thing they think about is asking“what do I need to do today?”And when they get the answer, they feel miserable, as if their work suddenly weighs them down．But if you spend time focusing on your goals, you’ll receive good feelings－feelings that help you feel inspired and motivated to take real action．
Don’t try to paddle upstream．That just basically equals saying to yourself that you need to force yourself to work hard every day．Instead, paddle along the stream of the river．Trust yourself, let your environment work in your favor, and spend some a little bit of time putting yourself in a state before you work．Inspiration will come to you from different ways－inside and outside－and give you the motivation to guide yourself towards reaching your dreams．

Does failure really exist?
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 71 The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.
72
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 73 Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.
Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It’s a good idea to set a general timeline (时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. 74 If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.
Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 75 You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.
A. Never give up on yourself.
B. Failure only exists in your own mind!
C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.
D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.
E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F. Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!
G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.

请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
A: Taking care of yourself is not being selfish. By caring enough to treat your body well, you will be in better shape to take care of those around you. No one can take care of your health except yourself;
B: Believe in yourself and your ability. Have a “can-do”attitude. Make a list of successful changes that you have made in the past. It is easier to achieve a goal when you are optimistic. Use humor and laugh off occasional lapses (过失). Have confidence that you can get back on track with your healthy routine.
C: Seek out a friend or co-worker who will make you feel comfortable. You will find out making friends is a happy thing in the world. Regular phone calls, emails or visits over coffee could help you keep a good contact with them. Perhaps your cheerleader could become your exercise buddy.
D: Reward yourself as you make simple changes that in the end will result in achieving your overall goal. Celebration is part of successful change. Create a list of incentives that will keep you motivated.
E: Adopt eating and physical activity habits that can become part of your lifestyle. Have a backup plan for those days when your plans to eat well and be active are challenged. If you can’t walk due to the weather, have an exercise video to use. If you have no time to pack a healthy lunch, choose a small fast food sandwich and side salad.
F: Go on a trip. Work and family are two most important things in people’s lives. People try to tackle the two things at once, but most of them fail. Just as an old saying goes: People who know how to rest know how to work. Go out with your family and have a good time.
