阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I am keen to play basketball. As many friends can relate, I spend a lot of time ____21____ against others, and yet I see no ____22____. While one of my friends, a straight-A student, doesn’t seem to put in nearly as many hours as I do, yet he performs better. I recently asked him how he ____23____ it. His response:
“Maybe to be like top five in the world, you need some kind of inborn(天生的)talent ____24____ hard work. But putting in your hours of deliberate(特意的)practice into it will get you way farther than any natural talent.”
While there certainly is such a thing as ____25____, it’s more likely that the smart student does this thing called deliberate practice. If you’ve never ____26____ this before, it could be a life changer: not all hours you ____27____ practicing are equal. While you pulled an all-nighter looking ____28____ the textbook and doing every single practice problem, that girl who ____29____an A on the exam spent an hour every day a week before the exam.______30______she was working specifically on the topics that she knew she was having ______31______ with, rather than every single problem.
Deliberate practice is when you ______32______ your practice hours to finding what areas you’re ______33______ in and targeting them specifically. So next time you do poorly on your exam and wonder how that other student did so much better than you with what looked like no ______34______, it might just be that they knew what they were doing wrong and focused ______35______ on that. Maybe you could try to do the same thing and see where it leads you.
