Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don’t achieve anything significant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but it’s quite opposite. 1.

Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they don’t, they wouldn’t take action! 2. When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.

3. What’s the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive?

Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?

Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but don’t quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. That’s a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. 4. Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.

Now there are some people who don’t accept the “ Life is hard ” story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive. 5.They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.

A. And they don’t think about why something cannot be done.

B. Such attitude invites great opportunities to you.

C. It lies in what motivates people to take action.

D. So let me ask you a few questions.

E. And this makes you take even more or better quality actions.

F. This state does not allow you to be creative.

G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take.
