【2】However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了幾個(gè)人生教訓(xùn)。

【1】空前說當(dāng)你想追尋值得做的事情并準(zhǔn)備學(xué)習(xí)最好的經(jīng)驗(yàn)時(shí)，生活并不總是容易的，此處解釋不容易的原因，故D項(xiàng)（它總是考驗(yàn)我們，讓我們通過失敗來學(xué)習(xí)有價(jià)值的東西）符合語境。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】空后說然而，當(dāng)人們花的時(shí)間比他們預(yù)想的長時(shí)，他們就會(huì)感到沮喪，此處講的還是關(guān)于時(shí)間的話題，并與下文形成轉(zhuǎn)折，故A項(xiàng)（在任何領(lǐng)域取得成功都需要持續(xù)的時(shí)間和努力）符合語境。故選A項(xiàng)。

【3】空前說但當(dāng)你對(duì)生活感到厭倦時(shí)，你就會(huì)意識(shí)到你并不是要做每個(gè)人都做的事，你的命運(yùn)和世界上其他人的命運(yùn)是不同的，此處承接這一話題，F項(xiàng)中的your own path與前面的“your destiny is different from anyone else’s”相呼應(yīng)，故F項(xiàng)（但我們?yōu)閷?shí)現(xiàn)這一點(diǎn)所付出的代價(jià)是巨大的，因?yàn)樽咦约旱穆沸枰獦O大的勇氣）符合語境。故選F項(xiàng)。

【4】空后說父母有時(shí)會(huì)強(qiáng)迫孩子選擇自己不喜歡的專業(yè)就因?yàn)閯e的孩子選擇了那個(gè)專業(yè)，這是對(duì)盲目跟風(fēng)的舉例說明，故C項(xiàng)（許多舊習(xí)最近又開始風(fēng)行，人們盲目地跟風(fēng)）符合語境。故選C項(xiàng)。

在六選四的解題過程中，空處上下文出現(xiàn)的hut, yet, however等表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系的詞語往往是重要線索，例如本篇第2空，根據(jù)空后的“However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. ”可知，然而，當(dāng)人們花的時(shí)間比他們預(yù)想的長時(shí)，他們就會(huì)感到沮喪，此處講的還是關(guān)于花費(fèi)時(shí)間的話題，“However表明空處與下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故A項(xiàng)（在任何領(lǐng)域取得成功都需要持續(xù)的時(shí)間和努力）符合語境。
