Pursue Your Dreams Today, Not Tomorrow
Have you caught yourself daydreaming about your dreams? We often postpone our dreams, trapped in a cycle of delay. But why wait? 36________ You don't have to take a huge, life - changing step. You can take minute steps toward a brighter future. And start right now.
37________ If you never try, you're going to be weighed down by your regrets. You're always going to wonder how your life would have turned out if you actually took a chance on yourself. Don't let your future self be disappointed by your present self.
It doesn't matter how old you are or how many people have warned you that you're never going to succeed. Even the most successful people have had their hesitations about whether they had what it took to make it in their fields. 38________ Embrace a mindset of determination, knowing that success is within your reach.
At the end of the day, you need to carve out a path for yourself that will lead to the most satisfaction. If you allow your fear to get the best of you, you're never going to forgive yourself. 39________ It's what you would encourage your friends to do, so why aren't you giving yourself that same push?
Sometimes, following your passion means spending a lot of your time each day. It may require making slight adjustments to your schedule, but you don't have to sacrifice everything to follow your hearts. Try to strike a balance between your current life and your dreams. 40________
Pursue your dreams now, even though that means you might need to break out of your comfort zone, and even though it means entering the unknown.
A. Ask yourself what would be worse.
B. Starting small is completely acceptable.
C. You owe it to yourself to go after your dreams.
D. New opportunities may lead to personal growth.
E. If things go well, you can gradually make further shifts.
F. You need to move past your insecurity and explore your full potential.
G. Hard as it is, it's crucial to wave off the doubts in the back of your mind.

答案： 36. B 空后提到“你没有必要迈出巨大的改变命运的一步”，所以空处应是表达可以从小事开始做出改变，故B项“从小事开始做出改变是完全可以接受的”符合语境。 37. C 根据下文尤其是“if you actually took a chance on yourself”和“Don't let your future self be disappointed by your present self”可推知，本段主要是强调“自己”在实现梦想中的主体作用，故C项“你应该自己去追逐你的梦想”符合语境。 38. G 空前提到你的年龄不重要，身边有多少人提醒你你将永远不会成功不重要，甚至最成功的人都会犹豫，空后提到要拥有坚定的思维模式，知道成功就在触手可及的范围内，所以空处应是鼓励读者摆脱疑虑，坚定信心，故G项“尽管很难，在你的脑海中摆脱疑惑是至关重要的”符合语境。 39. F 空后句子表示“这是你会鼓励你朋友去做的事情”，句中的It应是指代空处句子描述的行为，并且该行为应是积极的，且空前表示不要让恐惧占了上风，故F项“你需要丢掉你的不安并且探索你的全部潜力”符合语境。 40. E 空前主要讲有时候追随你的爱好意味着你每天都要花很多时间。它可能需要你根据你的计划作出微小的调整，但是你没有必要为了跟从内心而牺牲一切。努力在你目前的生活和你的梦想之间找到一种平衡。故E项“如果一切顺利，你可以慢慢地做出进一步的改变”符合语境。
