中考阅读还原5选4专项练习(一)
一、
阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. 1 I never believed he could make it. About ten years later, however, I was surprised to see the man on TV, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers.
His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves.” It describes how people picture their future life: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become.
2 What you imagine can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge? Here are a few steps you can try.
First of all, just take action. If you’re dreaming of a certain job, attend a course, follow someone who does what you want to do and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal (目标).
A study of adults aged between 23 and 72 found that more than 70 percent of those who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals, twice the percentage of those who didn’t share written goals. So secondly, when you have a goal, share it. 3 That finding held true for all goals.
Finally, try looking toward people you know only by chance for advice, or those with whom you haven’t spoken in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your larger network are more likely (可能) to help you than those closest to you. 4
A.Ask your best friends to share their goals.
B.A possible self can take you beyond daydreams.
C.He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact.
D.So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.
E.More friends knowing about your goal makes it more likely to be achieved.
