6、superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. “ His remark is thought-provoking because more often than not, some people use others life as a yardstick against which to measure their own success. This mode of life will certainly do more harm than good. To begin wi
7、th, if one keeps comparing his life with others, he may end up pursuing superiority over his peers rather than living his life to the fullest. Furthermore, if one devotes himself to this fanatical pursuit, he will be unable to spare a moment to reflect on his own experiences. Consequently, his perso
8、nal failings will always be overlooked, not to mention their corrections. In the end, he may be content with himself for having surpassed many of his peers, but he remains to be the person he was yesterday with those same failures, same weaknesses, and more importantly, same ignorance. Hence, one sh
9、ould focus on himself to make self-improvement. In other words, his own life should be used as the most important yardstick or else there would be no improvement at all. 2 【正确答案】 On Perseverance When we try to reach our goals, we are often in a dilemma about whether we should give up when no progres
10、s is made. Under such circumstances, we should think of the saying “The history of human achievement is filled with stories of people who persevere, refusing to give up in the struggle to meet their goals.“ First of all, it takes time for real progress to reveal itself. We all know that Rome wasnt b
11、uilt in a day. Success is so difficult that it may take months, or even years before our efforts are paid back. Thats why we need patience and perseverance. Secondly, making no progress doesnt mean we have taken the wrong path. The way to success is like climbing a mountain. Some of us may give up h
12、alfway, asserting that it is an impossible mission. Yet a little detour may have led us to the top. Thus, no matter how grand and how hard our goals are, we should always strive to meet them. Only through unremitting efforts can we truly make our way to success. 3 【正确答案】 Modesty is one of the indivi
13、dual qualities that young people should possess. It makes you foresee your imperfections. It gives you the impetus to go forward. Most important of all, it makes you create favorable conditions in interpersonal communication. However, it seems that many young people do not realize the importance of
14、modesty. Some of them just feel satisfied with a little success, without the slightest desire to make further progress. Others have too high an opinion of themselves, totally ignoring other peoples suggestions and advice. Consequently, their immodesty often causes trouble to themselves. Worst of all
15、, immodesty often takes young people away from their colleagues and friends. Therefore, they find fewer people they can confide in. For me, to be modest, the first thing to do is to have a full understanding of my deficiencies. In fact, I will always find things about which I feel helpless in spite
16、of my talents. Besides, I should also admit other peoples strong points and try my best to learn from them. If I keep these two points in mind, I will be on the right path of developing modesty. 4 【正确答案】 On Adversity The saying “Misfortune rather than prosperity helps people to gain a greater unders
17、tanding of themselves and the world around them“ indicates that people can benefit from hardship and misfortune. In my opinion, the saying holds true in many circumstances. For one thing, adversity helps us get a better understanding of ourselves. Without hardship and misfortune, we can hardly disco
18、ver what we are truly capable of; without pains and traumas, we can hardly make adjustments to our values. For another, adversity helps us gain a better understanding of the world around us. In todays world, if we are never exposed to the harsh reality that evils lurk in every corner, our childish f
19、antasy about the world will one day ruin us. Our life is never short of adversity and probably it happens everyday. It is quite common that we fail to finish our work and get criticized and doing others a favour but receive nothing. Adversity is an indispensable part of life and it helps us to know
20、the true face of the world. In a word, adversity will help us discover who we are and what the world is like. 5 【正确答案】 On Aiming High There is a famous saying “Who aims at excellence will be above mediocrity; who aims at mediocrity will be far short of it. “ It indicates that we should set ambitious
21、 goals in order to be successful. On the one hand, aiming high can prompt a person or an organization to work single-mindedly toward the target. Sometimes, if the goal we try to achieve is not challenging enough, we probably wont try our best to accomplish it. But if the target is a little above our
22、 capabilities, it will motivate us to constantly make progress and work hard toward it. On the other hand, the aims must be reasonably achievable. If we are too ambitious and force ourselves to be someone we can never be or do something we can never succeed in, chances are that we wont be able to find a way to realize our dream or we will give up halfway. Therefore, it is true that we should aim higher when setting our goals, but not too high for us to reach.
