Where there is a will, there is a way.
This proverb means that if you are really
determined to do
something, however
difficult it might be, you will
1)
eventually
find a way to do
it well. The
2)
premier
point is that you
must have the will to achieve success.
Ninety percent of the failures
that occur are due to the fact that
there is no strong will involved. Many people
simply say that
they want something,
but they do not make any
3)
endeavor
to achieve it. So, instead of
getting
it, they use the poorest excuse
to explain the situation away.
On many occasions, people
tend
to
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 man has
the same experience. They have
7)
attained
their prestige because they
have
had
the
will
to
8)
transcend
apparently
insuperable
(
无法克服的
)
obstacles.
Many
artists,
statesmen,
writers
and
inventors
have
manged
to
succeed
because
they
possess
a
fierce
will,
which
has
helped
them
to
accomplish
major
9)
feats
.
Therefore,
we
can
see
that
the
main
thing which one needs is a strong will.
Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They
collapse
at the
10)
slightest
use of force against them.
Strong-willed people, on the other hand will stand
up against all odds and will make it a
point to succeed.

Social anxiety symptoms often begin
during adolescence. It's a developmental process
that is
1)
characterized
by profound
psychological changes, especially in terms of how
we relate to others.
One of the most
frustrating
2) aspects
of
the adolescent years is the tendency for self-
focus and a
decrease in the
3) amount
of focus we have
for the feelings and needs of others.
While these
changes are fairly universal, those of
us who were born with a shy temperament
(
性格
) can carry
the
adolescent
fears,
which
may
never
4)
recede
,
into
adulthood.
An
anxious
temperament
causes
our
brains
to
react
forcibly when
5)
exposed
to
the
stress
of
sudden
awareness
of
our
peers and gradually we become more and
more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of
exposure
or embarrassment as highly
dangerous. This may result in a(n)
6)
vicious
circle for many years:
excessive
self-consciousness
and
inhibition
when
you
feel
you
are
being
observed.
To
cope
with the
problem, I would like to
7)
challenge
you to strive for increased
focus on other people,
in place of your
8) excessive
focus on
yourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said than
done. The fear
may cause you to feel
that you will lose control or make a fool of
yourself when you are in the
spotlight
(
聚光灯
). But if you begin to
build a new response, in
9)
reaction
to your fears, you will
gradually build up a stronger and more
positive response. Remember, don't let self-
consciousness
10) paralyze
you! Be courageous!

and model, who became one of the most successful
and
well-known actresses in the film
1) domain
.
She was a fashion icon and
role model for women
all over the
world, helping to
2) define

(

Today's
