Question

【題目】We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry. 【1】

1.Identify and understand what you want to change.

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. 【2】When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.

2. 【3】

Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.

3. Choose the right company.

As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. 【4】

4. Believe that you are able to change.

【5】 If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly that you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

A. Your effort to change will be easier with these people as friends.

B. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.

C. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.

D. Look for a role model.

E. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.

F. There is always an opportunity for change.

G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。主要講述積極的生活態(tài)度對人們產(chǎn)生積極的影響，建議人們?nèi)ソY(jié)交一些生活態(tài)度積極的人，相信自己，盡最大努力去積極生活。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格上文可知，如果你認(rèn)為這些所有的因素都讓你對生活有了消極態(tài)度，不必?fù)?dān)心，結(jié)合下文講述改變態(tài)度的方法可推斷，總有機(jī)會改變的。故選F。

【2】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)段落標(biāo)題Identify and understand what you want to change.和空格上文可知，本段講述確定并了解你想要改變的事，改變的第一步是清楚了解什么需要改變，因此推斷B項“設(shè)立明確的目標(biāo)是所有努力的關(guān)鍵”符合語境。故選B。

【3】考查段落標(biāo)題。本段主要講述找到一個有你想要的態(tài)度的人，并讓他/她的生活給你激發(fā)和鼓勵，來打敗你在變得更好的途中暫時的失敗。因此推斷本段標(biāo)題為找個榜樣角色。故選D。

【4】考查上下文聯(lián)系和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格上文“Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life.”可知，考慮交新朋友，特別是那些樂觀的、有積極生活態(tài)度的朋友。因此可知你會發(fā)現(xiàn)和這些類型的朋友在一起，為改變所做出的努力會更小。故選A。

【5】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)空格下文可知，如果你不相信自己或者自己的生活能夠改變，改變就不會發(fā)生——你將永遠(yuǎn)不會開始，或者會很快結(jié)束，因此你將不會給自己成功的機(jī)會。因此推斷我們與目標(biāo)之間最大的障礙是認(rèn)為自己沒有能力改變。故選C。
