真题研练63 Task 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 (2014·新课标全国Ⅰ，C)A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in peoples mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭)and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention，but its mostly for show.In reality，its the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lions face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair. How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g.lose weight，start a business，travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress? This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving. It doesnt have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become...take immediate action.If youre clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way. 【语篇解读】　本文以驯兽师在驯兽时用椅子挡在狮子面前来分散它的注意力使狮子不知所措为引子，联想到当人们面临多种选择感到困惑时该怎么办？ 1．Why does the lion tamer use a chair?
