阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。
There are two paths (路) in life: Should and Must. We arrive at these crossroads over and over again. And each time, we get to choose.
Should is how others want us to show up in the world—what we should or shouldn’t do. When we choose Should, the risk is small.
Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest self. Must is why Van Gogh painted his whole life without ever receiving public recognition (认可). Must is why Reyna Marder Gentin started to write for the first time after 23 years of being a lawyer.
Choosing Must sounds fantastic, right? But Must is scary, hard, and a lot like jumping off a high building where you can’t see anything down below. How can we actually choose Must?
Ask yourself, “What is my Must?” If you don’t know the answer, write down your biggest, most impossible dreams! Don’t worry! It’s just the first step.
Now, think about what’s actually in your way. Is it your parents? Maybe they’re just worried that you haven’t thought it through. Try to make a practical(切实可行的) plan for what you want to do. Your parents may find it a good one. Is it money? Well, the best way to make money is to do what you love because it’s very likely that you will pay great attention to it. Choosing Must doesn’t mean we need to give up everything we already have. It’s about changing one small thing at a time.
If you believe that you have something special inside of you, it’s about time you gave Must a try—today.
(1)What happens if we choose the path of “Should”?
A. |
We don’t need to take great risks. |

We’ll have a clear picture of ourselves. |

C. |
Change many things at a time. |
(4)The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A. |
take others’ advice |
B. |
