“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

“You don’t have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great.” I believe it is a normal thought in today’s society to just let life happen to us. I also believe that we sometimes destroy our well-planned thoughts about success because it’s easier to just continue as usual rather than “try” with the possible failure in mind.
Most people never get moving because they don’t know what they want. Without a certain result already set in your mind, it’s really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your attention may soon disappear and you give up before too long.
Why not consider what’s really important in your life? Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have. At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you’ve taken .You’ll soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you should be going towards.
Knowledge is useless without action. You read many books but your life will stay the same if you don’t use the knowledge. Knowledge is fantastic but it will not change your life until it is used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude towards my life , but I also realize that if I don’t set goals to achieve, then I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may be best to keep your mouth closed.
Do you want know who you are? Don’t ask, Act! Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living up to our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whatever you want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limits(限制）we have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think. It is what we experience when we behave according to the thoughts we have.

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲述的是在生活中，知识宝贵，但是光读书，光有知识，不把它运用起来是无用的。有时，再好的计划和想法你若不去实行，那也没用。也就是说，想的再多，生活也还是原样，还不如行动起来改变生活，改善下生活。
【小题1】细节理解题。根据文中第一段倒数第一句“we sometimes destroy our well-planned thoughts about success because …rather than “try” with the possible failure in mind.可知答案，故选A。
【小题2】推理判断题。根据第二段get moving，get going等词可知意思为“前进”，和D选项中的go ahead类似，故选D。
【小题3】细节理解题。根据文中第四段“I will always be a talk the talk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it .”后半句可知a talk the talk person是个只擅长提供意见，却对行动没有作用的人，也就是说，这样的人擅长说，但不擅长做。故选B。
