Each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way. 33 . Lack of selfconfidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success. 34 Even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude. If it is your case too, improving your selfconfidence is a must. Motivation is equally as important as selfconfidence. 35 You may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you. It is important to find out what is the best motivation for you. If you have to do something that does not motivate you, just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed. Of course, this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue(追求 ) a success. 36 While it is not a must for succeeding in your goals, a lack of support can often lead to failure. It is also true that some people cannot succeed without a proper support from their surroundings. These people often lose their motivation or worse, their selfconfidence. If you know such a person, supporting him or her is a right thing to do. Also surround yourself with the right people. You will see the results soon. Pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success. You should always make sure that your goals are achievable. 37 Unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed. A. As we know, many people try but do not succeed. B. Consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal. C. Motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards. D. There are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed. E. Supportive family and collective workplace are also very important. F. Without it, you will not push yourself towards a better performance. G. Thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed. 第三部分 完形填空 （共 20 小题；每小题 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather.
