【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: I have many business English students. When I teach in 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 is 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 there're people who really love what they do—of course, you're 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, then money kind of comes automatically. What are the speakers mainly talking about? 对话开头,女士说自己上课结束前经常和学生们讨论成功这类的事情以及促成成功的因素,很有意思的是许多学生提到了运气这个因素。接下来男士和女士讨论了运气与成功、天赋与成功、坚持训练与成功的关系。由此可知,对话的主要内容是成功的秘诀,即B“成功的决定因素是什么”。
