The 2) premier point is that you must have the will to achieve success. Ninety percent of the

3、 4) bypass every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5) handicaps and achieve their goals. Only those with a(n) 6) committed and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous m

6、有志者事竟成.这句谚语的意思是，如果你真的下定决心去做某件事，不管它多么困难，你最终会找到一种方法做好它。首要的一点是你必须有获得成功的决心。百分之九十的失败都是因为没有强有力的意志。许多人只是说他们想要什么，但他们并没有努力去实现它。所以，他们没有得到，而是用最可怜的借口来解释情况。在许多情况下，人们倾向于绕过每分钟的障碍，使目标不可能达到。事实上，如果他们有成功的意志，他们就能摆脱障碍，实现自己的目标。只有那些意志坚定、意志坚定的人才能为最终胜利而战。许多名人都有同样的经历。他们已经达到了他们的威望，因为他们已经将超越显然是无法逾越的障碍（无法克服的） 。许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家都
7、有巨大的成功，因为他们拥有一个强烈的意志，这帮助他们完成主要的本领。因此，我们可以看到，一个人需要的主要东西是坚强的意志。意志薄弱的人永远爬不到顶端。他们一点点地使用武力就崩溃了。意志坚强的人，在另一方面，会站起来反对一切困难，并将它成为一个成功点。Unit 2Social anxiety symptoms often begin during adolescence.

Be courageous!社交焦虑症状通常始于青春期。这是一个以深刻的心理变化为特征的发展过程，特别是在我们与他人交往的过程中。青少年时期最令人沮丧的一个方面是自我专注的倾向，以及我们对他人的感情和需求的关注程度有所下降。虽然这些变化是相当普遍的，我们这些人天生有一种害羞的气质（性格）可以把青少年的恐惧，这可能永远不会退去，到成年。焦虑的性格会使我们的大脑在突然意识到同龄人的压力时做出强有力的反应，渐渐地我们变得越来越脆弱。我们的大
