Ⅱ.阅读理解
We all know some great people in our lives. So what makes them so great? Dr Kimbro, author of the book What Makes the Great Great, believes that being great depends on a promise of making dreams come true. He writes in his book, “All high achievers make choices, not excuses.” We all have a million excuses for the failure of something, but only some go on to achieve their goals in life.
Here are some other important things that make great people great.
If you wish to achieve greatness, you should be willing to work your butt off. As Margaret Thatcher puts it beautifully, “I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near.”
Practice and you shall get there. We learn things by practicing, be it walking, dancing, or even brushing our teeth. We do these things again and again until we
become good at them. Great people practice like there's no tomorrow.
Your critics (批评者) do you the biggest favor. They fuel you to do better. Every great person has his or her critics, who think the worse about them and doubt their talent. “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things，” Winston Churchill once said.
All great people have one thing in common. They all have been selfless in their services to others. That was their intention (意图) all along: to serve others and to help them overcome difficulties. As Martin Luther King said, “Not everybody can be famous but everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service.”
When the time comes, be ready to lead. That is what separates (区分) the weak from the strong. Great people are not just about talking. They actually jump in when the need appears.
