Question

    As we all know, self-confidence is the first key to success. So we often say, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

However, confidence isn't something you have to be born with—it can be learned. What can we do to become a confident person? I'd like to share some secrets with you.

Secret 1 Make confident friends.

Confidence can spread. I have a ton of confidence that comes from friends. They love and believe in me, and they are confident themselves. If you're less confident, find friends who feel good about themselves. They can make you feel good about yourself too.

— Li Guoqing

Secret 2 Show it till you feel it.

Just walking with your head held high and a smile on your face make people think you have all the confidence in the world. If you're always slouchy( 垂头丧气的), people will think you are shy and unconfident.

— Zhang Chenggong

Secret 3 Believe in yourself.

If you listen to your heart, you're not letting others tell you what you can or can't do. You naturally have confidence because you're doing what you believe in and know is right.

—Liu Xu

【解析】

文章告诉我们怎么做才能成为一个自信的人。

1.

这是一个地点状语从句。there be意为“有”；此处will是名词“意志；意愿”的意思。where there be..., there be... 意为“有……的地方，就有……”。故填有志者事竟成。

2.

根据第三段“Confidence can spread...If you're less confident, find friends who feel good about themselves. They can make you feel good about yourself too.”可知自信是可以感染的，自信的朋友可以使你对自己感觉良好。故填Because confidence can spread./ Because they can make you full of confidence/feel good about yourself . /Because you can have a ton of confidence.

3.

根据“If you're always slouchy( 垂头丧气的), people will think you are shy and unconfident.”可知张成功不赞成我们垂头丧气的，因为不自信。故选C。

4.

根据三、四、五段的标题Secret 1 Make confident friends. Secret 2 Show it till you feel it. Secret 3 Believe in yourself.可知我们要与自信的人交朋友；要展示自信；要相信自己。故填1 Making confident friends或者Making friends with people who are confident(themselves). 2 Showing your confidence till you feel it. 3 Believing in yourself.

5.

根据第二段“What can we do to become a confident person? I'd like to share some secrets with you.”可知文章告诉我们怎么做才能成为一个自信的人。故填Some secrets of becoming (a) confident (person) / Some secrets to become (a) confident (person).
