(2024·江西九江·一模)If you want to stand out, 10,000 hours of training will take you much further than your natural abilities. Mozart is considered by many as the greatest composer who ever lived. Traditionally, many people 1 outstanding achievements like Mozart’s are due to talent, or even inborn inspiration or 2 .
This assumption holds especially true for child prodigies (神童) like Mozart whose music talent 3 the world at the age of six. But looking more 4 at this phenomenon, we find that these individuals actually had to practice countless hours before showing their 5 remarkable talent. In fact, scientists indicate that a prodigy’s training typically 6 at a very early age, with massive time invested in practice.
For example, when the six-year-old Mozart toured Europe to 7 his brilliant piano skills, he had already 8 3,500 hours of musical training. If you compare this to other pianists who have practiced for as long, Mozart’s 9 wasn’t all that exceptional. It seems that outstanding abilities come from intensive strict practice 10 natural talents. A study shows the only factor directly 11 the students’ level of achievement was the amount of serious practice time: the most 12 performers had practiced for an average of 10,000 hours, while the least skilled had only 4,000 hours of practice. What’s even more revealing is that there were no 13 : All of the top performers had 14 great efforts to their practice. It seems that no extraordinary talent can 15 without tough practice.

(2024·辽宁锦州·模拟预测)“What do you want to be when you grow up?” When I was a kid, I 16 the question. Adults always seemed terribly disappointed that I wasn’t dreaming of becoming something grand or 17 , like an astronaut.
Now, as an organizational psychologist, my job is to fix other people’s jobs, and I’ve come to believe that asking youngsters that question does them 18 .
My first complaint about the question is that it 19 kids to define themselves in terms of work. If we define ourselves by our jobs, our 20 depends on what we achieve. So when you are asked what you want to be, it’s not socially 21 to say “A father” or “A mother”, let alone “A person of integrity”.
The second 22 is the implication that there is one calling (职业) out there for everyone. Research shows that 23 one leaves students feeling lost and 24 . After all, not everyone has that talent for grand jobs.
If you manage to 25 the above barriers, there is a third hurdle (难关) : careers rarely live up to your childhood 26 . In one study, looking for a(n) 27 job left college seniors feeling more anxious and less satisfied with the 28 . As Tim Urban writes, happiness is reality minus expectations. It’s clear how expectations 29 our perceived happiness. If you are looking for extreme happiness, you’re bound to be disappointed.
Asking kids what they want to be leads them to 30 a career identity they might never want to earn. Instead, invite them to think about the different things they might want to do.

(2024·福建福州·模拟预测)I used to find award show speeches inspiring when celebrities encouraged people to “chase their dreams.” However, as I grew older, I 31 the toxicity (毒性) behind this notion. Pursuing our dreams is not always easy due to various 32 . For instance, I 33 to be a singer but lacked the financial means to audition for competition shows. Later, my dream 34 to becoming a manga editor, but I faced 35 like language barriers, travel costs, and difficult exams.
Though there is hope, considering many celebrities started from humble beginnings, achieving dreams remains 36 . As someone who once had ambitious aspirations, these “chase your dreams” speeches gave me 37 hope. I take issue with such celebrity speeches because they suggest that anyone can 38 whatever they desire simply by wishing for it. 39 , reality tells us otherwise. I am not trying to be 40 , but rather realistic. Growing older has taught me that some dreams are meant to stay as dreams.
Nonetheless, I am grateful that my dream of becoming a singer did not materialize. I have found other passions — writing and editing — and 41 pursued them as a career through college. I have no regrets about this path. If we do not 42 exactly where we want to be, it is alright. Life sometimes presents obstacles that 43 us from choosing our first preference for the future. Our dreams may not always be 44 , but that does not mean good things are not in store for us. Life often takes us on different paths. Do not lose hope, for you have a bright future ahead, 45 the choices you make.

(2024·辽宁沈阳·模拟预测)David Cote, then CEO of Honeywell, shared the pros and cons of hiring a CEO with experience in the role. Experience can make directors feel more 46 at a candidate, but the question is: Does he or she have the 47 to make a difference? If they don’t possess that hunger, they won’t investigate things deeply. So in many cases, experience is 48 .
Are inexperienced CEOs more likely to have hunger than others? If they have no real reputation, they’ll be more likely to be driven to 49 . For example, when Cote was CEO of Honeywell, some leaders said to him they didn’t know if the company could be 50 —and that even if it could be, they weren’t sure whether he was the 51 to do it because he was not their first choice. Those comments just 52 his hunger. He decided to impress them.
Does the finding that previous CEO experience can hurt a person’s performance 53 you? An experienced CEO might say, “I am 54 in this work, so I know how to settle it.” Rushing to conclusions tends to 55 an experienced CEO to all facts and opinions. People will 56 act according to their own experience, which is an instinct (天性). So sometimes experience can be a(n) 57 .
Rather than a fundamentally necessary factor for a CEO, 58 is simply the icing (糖霜) on the cake. The hunger 59 it. Nobody knows the future. It’s more important to hire somebody eager to 60 things, regardless of their experience.

(2024·湖南衡阳·模拟预测)If doctors lie, it is surely inexcusable. One of the basic 61 the public have of doctors is honesty. But what would you think if I told you that research has shown that 70 percent of doctors 62 to lying to their patients?
Mrs. Walton was in her eighties and 63 to see her husband. “He’s on his way, don’t worry,” I said this to calm her down. But it was a lie. He died two years ago. The truth is that it is a 64 to lie sometimes.
Mrs. Walton is one of the dementia (痴呆) sufferers, who lose their memory of 65 events, but hold memories from the distant past. Many of them realize that the past bears little 66 to the present, but are at a loss to explain. They often feel scared that they are 67 by strange people, even when they are with their family. They look at their adult children 68 and wonder who they could be.
I have countless families not knowing how to react as their loved one moves back into distant past and they are 69 in the present. And how, as a doctor, does one manage sufferings that come with having no 70 of these patients’ life for the past ten or 20 years? Maybe he can tell them lies that are not big and elaborate — they are 71 comforts intended to calm and allow the subject to be swiftly changed.
72 with them about this false reality is not unprofessional — it is actually kind. That’s not to say that lying to patients with dementia 73 is right. But what kind-hearted person would put another human being through the unimaginable pain of learning, 74 again and again, that they have lost their beloved ones. It would be an unthinkable cruelness.
Sometimes honesty is 75 not the best policy.

(2024·湖南·二模)Experts worry that teen texting is out of control. Instead of 76 , Kenny, 16, often 77 with his friends through the night. “You get a(n) 78 ,” explains the teen, who lives in Texas. “When I get a text, I’m itching (渴望) to 79 it even if I want to sleep.”
Garcia, a high school senior from Grand Kennedy, has also felt the need to stay constantly 80 . We asked how many texts she sent and received each day. “I don’t know… maybe 1,000?” she answered. “It’s too many to 81 .”
Dr. Dowdell, at Villanova University, says that many people expect to be able to 82 anyone at any time. “It’s very 83 , especially to a high school student. But it reduces the time that could be spent studying, exercising, or just relaxing. Another 84 is, there’s no downtime.” And people need to 85 —especially when we have so much to do.
So we decided to have Kenny and Garcia do an experiment. These were the 86 : No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either.
“Wow, it was completely 87 ,” Kenny joked. Though he was sad and missed his friends at times, he 88 “it had benefits.” 89 texting, he went to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. Garcia had an even more 90 result. “I loved it!” she said, “I was hanging out with friends and slept better too.”

(2024·江西南昌·二模)At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comǎneci made history. She performed a routine 91 on the uneven bars (高低杠), scoring a perfect 10. She pursued perfection in her practice, which led to remarkable 92 in the game.
Perfectionism is generally appreciated as a good quality. Therefore, it’s not 93 that perfectionism in society has been on the rise for years. And it is more common in certain 94 like top athletes and medical specialists. Perfectionism can be seen as a behavioral 95 . Perfectionists usually set extremely high standards for themselves and others. According to researchers, such behavior is rooted in insecurity. Many perfectionists 96 that if they don’t pay enough attention to 97 , it will hurt their performance. So they 98 their perfectionism even when it’s self-defeating.
Aiming for a high degree of success isn’t necessarily 99 as long as you behave reasonably. People with adaptive perfectionism work hard to meet ambitious goals, but are also able to 100 mistakes, changes, and problems that they didn’t anticipate. When encountering barriers, they stay flexible.
Maladaptive perfectionism, which involves an intense 101 for others’ approval, and a high level of concern over mistakes, is unhealthy. It tends to 102 individual confidence and affects relationships and overall well-being. To overcome it, it’s crucial to 103 your mindset. Start by being 104 and gaining a broader perspective. Give yourself permission to loosen up a bit on certain matters, enabling you to 105 what truly matters. Transformation can be challenging, but it is indeed attainable.

(2024·黑龙江·模拟预测)We, a group of psychologists, believe people can gain a sense of meaning from small moments. Just 106 the first butterfly you see after a long winter or the scenery on top of a hill after a fresh hike.
We recently set out to better 107 this form of small beauty in studies that involved plenty of participants. Across the studies, we were 108 whether experimental appreciation could be a special 109 meaningfulness.
At first, to 110 our idea, we had participants report how they usually 111 their stress. We found that people who managed stress by 112 their appreciation of life's beauty reported that their life was 113 meaningful. Next, we asked participants to rate (评级) various statements, such as "I have a great appreciation of the beauty of life," as well as statements that are 114 to purposes and meaningfulness in life. Our results showed that the more people appreciated their life experiences, the more they felt their 115 was valuable. These confirmed our 116 theory: appreciating small things can make life more meaningful.
117 , in today's society, applying this insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced lifestyles fill the days with goals. We are always 118 . This focus on future outcomes makes it easy for us to 119 what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down and treasure the 120 of everyday things.

(2024·山西晋中·模拟预测)It is believed that a typical lion tamer(驯兽师)is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭)and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s 121 for show. In reality, it’s the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to 122 all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus 123 , the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many 124 , the lion has no choice but to 125 and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.
How often do you find yourself in the same 126 as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e. g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make 127 ?
This upsets me to no 128 because while all the experts are 129 debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the 130 information. The end 131 is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be 132 .
It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a 133 in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel 134 is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become, take 135 action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.

(2024·江西·二模)Like many young Chinese, Zuo had been raised from a young age to be “a good student”. As long as she followed the rules and worked hard, money and success would naturally followed. Zuo had followed the instructions to the 136 . She aced exam after exam, winning a place at a prestigious college inBeijing. However, when Zuo sent out a sea of job applications , She didn’t just fail to 137 her preferred role; she didn’t receive a single 138 .
For Zuo, the failure came as a crushing 139 . Being a high flier, she was emotionally unprepared for such a setback. She struggled with anxiety for months: unable to sleep, 140 by guilt, and feeling compelled to repeatedly apologize to her parents and teachers.
But the ordeal (磨难) has left a profound impression on Zuo. The former teacher’s pet has transformed into a passionate 141 of what she calls the ”good student mentality.“ In January, Zuo set up a group on Douban named “Victims of the Good Student Mentality,” and it has quickly attracted a passionate following.
“Good students” like Zuo tend to be 142 vulnerable (脆弱的) to mental health issues. Successive studies have found that high achievers are more likely to 143 anxiety, depression than the general population. This is because high achievers like Zuo often excessively rely on 144 validation (认可) to support their self-esteem, leaving them unable to cope with setbacks. Over time, students 145 the externa world’s evaluation criteria as their own standard for self-assessment.
It’s clear that a diverse range of young people can 146 victim to the “good student mentality.” Luckily, in Chinese education system, there is growing 147 that student anxiety is a serious problem. A teacher in Shanghai, surnamed Dong, tells that “the good student mentality” is becoming ever more prevalent, with well behaved, introverted children 148 seeking praise and awards as a way to 149 their self esteem. If they fail to meet the school’s incredibly high standards, there’s a risk that it will trigger an emotional 150 .Hence, Zuo recently wrote a welcome message offering new members some advice: “Be kind to yourself; challenge the norms; treat yourself well.“ And, most importantly:” You can be a “bad” kid.

(2024·广东佛山·二模)When I was seven, my father gave me a watch, Timex. It was my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and haven’t had another one since it stopped clicking a decade ago. Why? Because I don’t 151 one. I have a mobile phone and I’m always near someone with an iPod or something like that. All these 152 tell the time — which is why, if you look around, you’ll see lots of empty 153 ; sales of watches to young adults have been going down since 2007. But while the 154 men have realized that they don’t need them, others 155 are spending total fortunes on them. Brands (品牌) such as Rolex and Philippe command shocking 156 , up to £250,000 for a piece.
This is 157 . These days all watches tell the time as well as all other watches. Expensive watches come with extra 158 but who needs them? How often do you dive to 300 metres into the sea or need to find your 159 in the South Pole? So why pay that much of five years’ school fees for watches that allow you to do these things? If justice were done, the Swiss watch industry should have 160 when the Japanese discovered how to 161 accurate watches for a five-pound note.
Watches are now categorized as “investments”. A 1994 Philippe recently sold for nearly £350,000, while 1960s Rolexes have gone from £15,000 to £30,000 plus in a year. But a watch is not an investment. It’s a(n) 162 for self-satisfaction, a matter of fashion. Prices may keep going up. But when fashion moves on, the 163 of that £350,000 beauty will 164 find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my 165 Timex.

(2024·上海浦东新·三模)More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for 166 periods.
The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their 167 spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure (基础设施) as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing at the exact same time,” says Font, an expert in tourism. “For 168 , the city no longer belongs to them.”
In response to this situation, cities have come up with various solutions. For instance, Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek 169 outside of the city center on its official website. “That takes courage, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they’re doing all they can to 170 congestion.”
But it also proposes a better way, which is called “de-tourism”: sustainable travel tips and 171 schedules for exploring a real Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.
A greater variety of 172 for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of removing them from already crowded landmarks, or 173 short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays 174 the pressure, says Font. ‘If you go to Paris for two days, you’re going to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you’re not going to go to the Eiffel Tower 14 times.” Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the 175 , “We should be asking how we can get tourists to 176 , not how to get them to come for the first time. If they’re coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behaviors with ours.”
Font says cities could stand to be more 177 about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they’ve come. “You’re thinking. ‘yeah but at what cost…’” He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourist for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(n) 178 that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. 179 tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local products, and spread out to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more 180 tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.
