1、 1.What's your idea about success? Some people say that beginners have all the luck, while others believe that success comes only with practice. In fact, I feel both of these statements are not true all the time. Each is true in some ways but not in others.
For example, I went to a drawing competition many years ago and won surprisingly. As a prize, 2.我得到一张看功夫熊猫(Kung Fu Panda)的票。I was really lucky because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. 3.Thinking that I might be lucky again, I tried joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I never won again. I knew that the other people had a greater artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the drawings made were not of very high standard(标准).
4. 这些经历教了我很多。Though I might have been lucky at first, I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 5.practice makes perfect. So I believe success builds on less luck and more chances.

28、请根据短文内容,在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词,使短文完整、通畅。
Do you know yourself well? If you have to describe yourself to someone else, 【1】 would you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but having self-awareness can help you a lot.
What is self-awareness?
It means hearing your own thoughts and feelings, and understanding how they can influence others around you. If you have self-awareness, you may know that you love playing a musical instrument because you’re good at it and music can make you happy. If you have self-awareness, KFC may never be on your lunch list because nothing there attracts you. In a word, you seldom do things 【2】 your own feelings.
Dr. Tasha Eurich describes self-awareness as “an ability” to know who we are, to see ourselves more 【3】, and to understand how others see us and how we fit into a new environment.
Some 【4】 about it can be listed as follows.
Being self-aware makes you know your likes and dislikes, what you’re good at and what you find difficult. It helps you make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and even which films to watch. You will gradually start to 【5】 on your own feelings more when making choices. It will certainly make you more confident and get you 【6】 to success.
Besides, being self-aware makes us pay more attention to our own feelings, 【7】 it never means only thinking about yourself and being selfish (自私). Instead, by understanding yourself better, you can know how to communicate better with others and show more respect for them, which results in a better friendship.
How can we have self-awareness?
A good way to learn about anything is by questioning. Dr. Eurich 【8】 asking yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So next time if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree with rather than why you are arguing. Finding out what you want leads you to know yourself better.
