第一单元 1、I don’t put much stock in the idea of luck. I think that usually things go well or not so well for people based on their actions. I believe that for the most part you create your own luck by working hard, practicing self-discipline, remaining persistent, and making personal growth a daily priority. 我很少对运气寄予厚望。我认为通常情况下事情发展的顺利与否取决于人们的实际行动。我相信多数情况下命运是由你自己创造的，在这个过程中你必须刻苦努力、严于律己、坚持不懈并将个人的发展当作每天中的头等大事。 2、Most career involve other people. You can have great academic intelligence and still lack social intelligence – the ability to be a good listener, to be sensitive toward others, to give and take criticism well. 大多数职业都涉及与人交往。你可能具有较高的学术水平，但仍缺乏必要的社交智慧，即耐心倾听别人的观点、时时关心别人的感受并及时给予和接受批评的能力。 3、If your circumstances constantly get you down, the maybe it’s time for a change – not in your situation, but in your attitude. If you can learn to make the best of any situation, you can remove a formidable obstacle that stands between you and your dreams. 如果周围环境使你屡感失望，那么有必要做一下调整。需要调整的不是你的环境而是你的心态。如果你能学会充分发挥环境优势，那么你就能克服现实与理想之间的最大障碍。 4、Anybody can make an honest mistake when things are hectic. But people lacking focus have trouble not because they’re too busy, but because their priorities are out of whack. And that wastes their time and resources. 忙乱之时人人难免犯无心之过。但缺乏工作重心的人麻烦缠身不是因为工作太忙而是因为他们主次不分。因此他们既浪费了时间又耗费了资源。 5、If you resist change, you’re really resisting success. Learn flexibility, or learn to like living with your failures. 如果你拒绝改变，实际上你是在拒绝成功。要学会灵活多变，否则你就要学会在失败中生存。 6、The greater you talent, the more likely you are to lean heavily on it and skip the hard day-to-day work of improving it. If you possess this negative tendency, put yourself on a growth plan so that you can make the most of your God-given talent. 天赋越好，就越有可能依赖于它而不愿通过日常努力提高。如果你有这种消极的倾向，就应制定一个发展计划并努力迫使自己去实施，这样你就会充分发挥上天赋予你的才能。 第二单元 1.? Teachers an professors too often are portrayed ad idealists living in an ivory tower who are out of touch with real world. They are accused of emphasizing academic skills or studies that do n
