Question 7 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.

7. What do successful people do when faced with difficulties? （成功人士面对困难时会怎么做？）

解析：C。在录音中女士提到，成功人士也很乐观，因为在意识到阻碍我们实现目标的障碍时，保持积极的心态很重要。C项与此内容相符，其中stay positive原词复现，故C项为正确答案。

错项排除：A项利用录音中的goals进行干扰，但adjust和accordingly在录音中无依据，故A项排除。B项利用录音中的optimistic进行干扰，但录音中是说成功人士都很乐观，而不是努力表现出乐观，B项曲解文意，故错误。D项的remain calm在录音中无依据，故排除。
