選擇最佳選項

From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?

In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids. In reality, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.

Doing well in school is different from doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just thebig shotswho are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.

Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section (部分) of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents (天賦). That’s how you can live a happy and successful life.

答案與解析

6-10ACCBB

6.推理判斷題。根據“In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that?”可知作者寫第一段是為了引出學習成績好并不能和未來的成功劃等號這一話題。故選A。

7.細節理解題。根據“In some parents’ eyes, school grades matter most for their kids.”可知在一些家長的眼里，學習成績對孩子們來說才是最重要的。故選C。

8.詞義猜測題。根據“who are successful in life without finishing school”可知此處指的是沒上學就取得成功的大人物，big shots意為“大人物”。故選C。

9.觀點態度題。根據“That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.”可知想要擁有美好生活，只成績好是不夠的，由此可知“學校成績并不代表一切。”這一句符合作者的觀點。故選B。

10.推理判斷題。根據“If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life.”可知即使完成學業了也要繼續學習，學習是一個終生旅程。故選B。
