【文章大意】有些人总是鸿运当头，占尽了机缘。你不禁会想：“为什么我没有这种福气？”其实大多数人成功或走运的真正原因是他们知道如何为自己“创造”好运。成功者不仅努力工作，还富有智慧。他们不断地丰富并充分利用自己的资源，而且对自己不擅长的事，他们也知道如何去寻求帮助。
16．C上句“Do you know some people who just have all the luck？”暗示“有些人总是吉星高照”，所以此处指“他们似乎占尽了机缘”。这里用break表示 “运气”。第三段第一句句末的break也有暗示。qualification资格，条件；occupation工作，职业；license批准，许可，执照。故选C项。
17．B lucky幸运的，侥幸的，吉利的。你会问自己：“为什么我没有这种好运气呢？”前文的have all the luck和下文的“But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that...”也有暗示。故选B项。
18．A put themselves in a place“使他们自己处于有运气的地方”。成语“设身处地”可译为：put oneself in other’s position。故选A项。
19．C create创造，创作，创建。第三段的第三句“But that man created his own luck...”有暗示。在某种程度上，他们(那些成功的人们)学会了如何“创造”自己的好运。故选C项。 20．C talk about谈论。下句“I’m talking about hard，honest work”有暗示。故选C项。 21．B practical实际的，实践的，实用的；adequate充分的，适当的，胜任的；meaningful有目的的，有意义的；honest诚实的，可靠的，直率的。前句“I’m not talking about dishonest or illegal ways”暗示此处应填honest。故选B项。

23．A习惯搭配be good at表示“擅长”。然而，对自己不擅长的事情，他们学会了向别人求助。故选A项。
24．B limit局限，界限，限度；pressure压力；strength力量，优点；ability能力，才智”前句说“我们不仅要充分地发 挥自己的特长”， 因此本句是说“我们还必须知道自己的局限和弱点”。our limits and weaknesses 对应our own special strength。故选B项。
25．A always总是，一直，表示频度非常高。由语境“那个人靠总是早早地来到办公室创造了自己的好运”可知，这里应选always。而不是“偶尔、很少、从不”早到办公室。故选A项。 26．A realize认识到，了解；promise允诺，答应；admit承认；convey运输，表达。根据空后的“when he was wrong”(当他犯错误的时候)可推断，他勇于“承认”(admit)错误。故选A项。
27．B上一空后的when...状语从句有暗示。当他做了大部分工作的时候，他仍然与他人分享荣誉和奖赏。故选B项。
28．B get by混过，凑合，勉强应付。get over克服，忍受，痊愈。他永不满足于仅仅做普通的工作，不会得过且过，他总是追求尽善尽美。故选B项。
