UNIT 4 Assessing Your Progress-实践·注重应用评价 课时跟踪检测(Word练习)-【新课程学案】新教材2022-2023学年高中英语选择性必修第三册（人教版2019）

[课时跟踪检测]　　　　　重点题型强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently (坚持地)． Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure. Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing. Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way. When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable. When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time. Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else. Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant. Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don't take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly. You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了想马上就成功的人和坚持不懈的人在追求成功的过程中的不同做法。想要到达成功的彼岸，就要学会坚持，别轻言放弃。 1．Why will people who want things instantly fail in many things?
