题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
Success starts within our mind. Now, we will discuss four steps to change our lives and create a new future.
■ 1. Think big. Get rid of negative(负面的)beliefs.
Your beliefs have developed from what happened to you in the past. You should realize that the past is not equal to the future, unless you really live there. The first thing you need to do is to drive all the negative beliefs away from your mind. Those beliefs are not useful for creating a new future. Think that everything is possible if you put enough effort in it. When you change your beliefs into positive ones, you will feel more powerful. You will then be able to move on to the next level.
■ 2. Write your plan to achieve your goals.
Your great goals should be divided into smaller goals. Make a timetable for each goal so that you can measure your progress. Write a detailed plan to achieve these goals.
■ 3.Take action according to your plan.
Nothing bears fruit without action. Every successful person has to work hard towards his or her goals. There is no exception(例外). Be prepared to work according to your plan. Be willing to invest (投资) in the resources necessary for your progress. Do not give up.
■ 4. Review what you have done and know how good you are.
While you are in the process of your work, take some time to review how well you have done. Review your progress based on your plan and see if you need to change anything. You can change your methods but you should not change your goals.

Steve Jobs on life and death
When I was 17, I read a quote （引述） that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, some day you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every 2 and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the 3 has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to 4 something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever used to help me make the big 6 in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all 7 of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is 8 important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to 9 . You are already naked. There is no reason not to 10 your heart.
Your time is limited, so don’t 11 it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 12 by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the 13 to follow your beliefs and goals. They somehow already know what you really want to 14 . Everything else is 15 .

Thomas Edison tried two thousand different materials to make the light bulb. When none worked successfully, his assistant __16_, “All our work is in vain. We have learned nothing.”

How __23_ the above lines are! Success takes __24_. We’ll make mistakes _25__ we do things in too much of a hurry.

Success is a fruit which everyone wants to _31__, but it is not found everywhere and no one can __32_ it without serious efforts.
Those who want to succeed will find a way; those who don’t will find a(n) _33__!
Success depends on previous __34__, and without it we will end in failure.
