Question

閱讀下面短文并回答問題。

[1] The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.

[2] Opportunity is just the same. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to “get in” on a “ground floor opportunity”, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That’s impossible.

[3] Just as ????????????????????????????????? , you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity.’’ That’s not up to the opportunity. That’s up to you. It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.???

【解析】

試題分析：文章闡述了要充分利用機會這樣一個道理�？諝鉄o處不在且容易獲得，這讓我們往往會忽視空氣的存在。機會就像空氣一樣無處不在，我們應該充分利用機會來獲得成功。

1.根據(jù)第二段“Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value.”和第三段“You must make use of that opportunity”可知，機會就像空氣一樣無處不在，但是我們要抓住機會并充分利用它們，才能獲得成功。故填We must make use of opportunities.

2.根據(jù)第一段“Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves.”可知，應填feel sorry for themselves

3.根據(jù)第一段和第二段可知，作者把機會比作了空氣，人們需要呼吸空氣才能生存；同樣，人們需要機會才能成功。故填you need air to breathe。

4.根據(jù)第一段“Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves.”可知，我們應該利用空氣提供給我們的能量去創(chuàng)造生命的奇跡，而不應該虛度光陰。故填We should use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life.

5.根據(jù)最后一段“It doesn’t matter what “floor” the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it.”可知，機會在什么地方不重要，重要的是你是否利用了機會。故填The opportunity.
