外研版必修3高一模块测评英语试卷3（带解析）_10

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。
 
Mozart was a great man born with a given talent.He was writing songs at the age of five and performing before the queen by the time he was six years old.Early on,Mozart realised what his talents were,practiced or honed what he was born to do and used his natural abilities to create amazing pieces of music.
 
Mozart was not the first to be born with natural talents and he wasn’t the last.We all have them.We only need to discover what they are and use them to the best of our abilities.You have been given amazing gifts that are meant to be shared with the world.Your job is to find out what those talents are and master them.
 
Finding your natural talents may not be an easy task.Perhaps your parents except fewer wouldn’t approve of(赞成) your artistic ability to paint or sing,because they want you to be a successful doctor or lawyer.Maybe your gift wouldn’t seem to have the ability to bring the kind of wealth you hope.These may be excuses;it’s up to you.Have you ever noticed that when you engage in an activity in which you are naturally talented,you feel active and excited?That’s a sign that these are the things you should do.Discover your brilliance(才华) in life and practice,practice,practice.
 
Look at the world’s greatest athletes.They practice what they’re naturally good at,and what they love.You don’t see Jordan sitting trying to study DNA.If that was something he was talented at,that’s what he would be doing.But it’s not.He’s a brilliant athlete.He sticks to what he does best and he realises his dream.
 
There are only two steps to success—discover your brilliance and perfect it.
