Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the
best choice. (20 points)
Passage One
Growing into success is not an easy thing to experience. You will really get knocked
around a bit as you determine to win in your chosen career. The biggest disadvantage you
have to handle is the fear of failure. It can lead to many disastrous results.
The first thing fear of failure does is to breed an overcautious approach to opportunity.
Knowing when and how to make use of opportunity is fundamental to career success.
Having knowledge about the opportunity, you then need to determine timing. Positive and
negative factors listed, you make your decision. If you have a fear of failure, you might be
slow in taking the last step even though the opportunity passes detailed analysis.
Secondly, fear of failure can keep you from speaking up and making the kind of impact
that could uplift your career. A well-spoken word that solves a problem or sets off creativity
could be just the thing to get you noticed as a valuable part of the team, but if you're sitting
there stewing over (担忧) the kind of response you'll get, then more times than not, you'll
remain silent and miss your moment to shine.
Thirdly, fear of failure causes you to miss the point of personal and professional growth.
Failing is one of the best tutors in career development. Consider the story of a new bank
president who went to meet his predecessor (前任). Upon being introduced he quickly said,
"I would like to know what have been the keys to your success." The older man looked at
him for a moment and replied, "Young man, I can sum it up in two words: Good decisions."
To that the young man replied, "Sir, but how does one come to know which are the good
