Question 6 is based on the conversation you have just heard.

Conversation Two

听力原文

M: With me in the studio today is Miss Jane Logan, author of a new book, Secrets to Success. (5) [She claims to have uncovered how people achieve success.] So Miss Logan, in your book, you claim that successful people have many things in common. For instance, they know their strengths when pursuing a goal.

W: That’s right. They also tend to be motivated by a negative or positive life event. (6) [They credit their success to having someone in their life who believes in them.]

M: You also write that there are a number of different factors related to success. And while successful people are driven to achieve their goals, the ultra-successful have even greater ambition.

W: Yes, greater ambition as well as a burning desire to be the best of the best is also a common characteristic.

M: Right. So those who are determined don’t see obstacles as something that prevents success but mere inconveniences that need to be overcome.

W: Absolutely. (7) [Successful people are also optimistic as it is important to stay positive while being aware of obstacles that can deter us from achieving our goals.]

M: That’s a good point. All too often people give up at the first hurdle. Would you say, then, that most successful people make it all by themselves?

W: Not exactly. They are usually good at cooperating with people and understanding the needs of others.

M: So people will be willing to help them, I guess.

W: That’s correct. And this often leads to a great deal of mutual respect, whether it’s with a colleague, an assistant, or even a receptionist.

M: Most successful people I know are very passionate about their work. Would you say that passion is the single biggest key to success?

W: Not entirely. (8) [There’s a prerequisite, that is, you have to work in an environment that nurtures passion.] If that exists, success will follow.

6. What do successful people attribute their achievements to?（成功人士将他们的成就归功于什么？）

解析：A。录音中女士提到，成功人士把自己的成功归因于生活中有人相信他们（who believes in them）。A项符合题意，其中confidence对应录音中的believes，故为正确答案。

错项排除：B项利用录音中的having someone和willing to help them进行细节拼凑，但这并不是成功人士认为自己成功的原因，故排除。C项的a firm belief in their own ability和D项的a realistic attitude，在录音中都无依据，故均可排除。
