For those who have tried and failed, success seems difficult to understand. Why does one person succeed while another person fails?(我们都想成功，无论是减肥还是学吉他。对于那些尝试过却失败的人来说，成功似乎很难理解。为什么一个人成功而另一个人失败？)”可知，这里主要讲成功对一些人来说很困难。而E项I’ve made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.(我列出了四个习惯来帮助你设定目标并实现它们)符合语境，其中 help you set goals and achieve them有承上作用，而a list of four habits有启下作用。故选E项。 【12题详解】 由上文“Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation(动机).(找到你的核心价值观与创造内在动力是一致的)”可知，这里强调要找到核心价值观。而C项Sit and think about what you value most.(坐下来想想你最看重的是什么)符合语境。其中you value most与上文your core values对应。故选C项。 【13题详解】 由上文“Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of success, while adjusting well to your core values. Focus is key here.(择一个目标，开始一件足够大的事情，让你有成功感，同时很好地适应你的核心价值观。 专注是关键)”可知，这里主要讲我们专注地向我们的目标奋斗。而F项The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success.(你越专注于一个目标，你成功的机会就越大)符合语境。其中The more focused 与上文Focus 对应。故选F项。 【14题详解】 由上文“Set a date for success.

By its very definition, the desire to succeed means you are risking failure. Many people give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier. Know it will happen. A failure means you are working out the details and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!(当你冒险时，失败是不可避免的。根据它的定义，渴望成功意味着你冒着失败的风险。许多人过早放弃。不要落入这个陷阱！早点记住你的心态。知道它会发生。失败意味着你正在研究细节，学习什么有效，什么无效。使用失败。把它当作一件好事，继续前进！)”可知，这里主要讲，即使失败了，我们也要总结学习，坚持我们的目标而不放弃。而A项Stick to your goal(坚持你的目标)符合语境，适合作本段小标题。故选A项。 第三节 阅读填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) In 1915, Coca-Cola did something that would change their drink forever.
