Conversation Two
W:I have many business English students. When I teach the classroom, we often end up talking about things like success and what leads to success. And it's interesting that many of them mention the element of luck.
M:Right.
W:Luck is important to success. But since you've seen that fantastic video on the TED Talks website by Richard St. John, he doesn't mention luck at all.
M:Well,I'm a firm believer that people can make their own luck. I mean what people regard as luck, you can actually create, to a degree.
W:Sure. I think a lot of what people consider luck is attributed to how you respond to the opportunities that come your way.
M:Yes. Very good point.
W:Seizing the opportunities. But was there any point in the video that you thought was particularly interesting?
M:Yes. Actually there was. Something very impressive to me as many people think that luck is important and that natural talent is something you must have in order to be successful. And in the video we saw, the point about getting good at something is not about having some natural talent. It's all about practice, practice, practice.
W:Definitely yeah. Natural talent helps in some way but at the end of the day you really do need to work hard and get really really good at what you do.
M:Sure.
W:I thought one interesting thing in the video was the idea of passion being so important and that people who really love what they do. Of course you've going to want to work harder and put the time and effort into it. And the funny thing is that if you love what you do and are really passionate about it and work really hard, the money kind of comes automatically.
Q5:What are the speakers mainly talking about?
对话中女士提到:“上课时,我们经常讨论诸如成功以及取得成功的要素等话题。”因此B项与对话内容相符,故为正确答案。A、C、D三项虽然在对话中也有提到,但是只是说话者提到的影响成功的要素,并不是对话的主题,故排除。

Q6:What is the woman's view of luck?
对话中女士先提到:“我想人们认为的运气很大程度上取决于你如何回应即将到来的机会。”后面又解释说“抓住机会”,因此可知,在女士看来,运气意味着抓住机会,D项与对话内容相符,故为正确答案。A项和C项在对话中未提及,故排除。男士说:“人们可以在一定程度上创造所谓的运气。”女士表示赞同,B项与对话内容正好相反,也可排除。

Q7:What is the chief point the TED Talks video makes?
男士在对话中提到:“从视频内容我们可以看到,擅长做某事并不是因为有这方面的天赋,而是练习,练习,再练习。”因此可得知,TED演讲视频中的主要观点是练习对擅长做某事起到重要的作用,D项与对话内容相符,故为正确答案。其余三项都不是视频中的观点,故均可排除。

Q8:What does the woman think is the funny thing in the TED Talks video?
女士在对话中提到:“如果你喜欢你所做的事情,对此真正充满激情,并真正付诸努力,自然就会容易赚到钱了。”因此可知C项与对话内容相符,故为正确答案。
