根据这一段的标题“Take Calculated (预料到的) Risks”以及下文“We all have to take risks in life”可知，我们要接受风险。因此这句话是表示“没有风险成功就不会到来”，这里考查without，是一个介词，意为“没有”，符合语境。故答案为without。
58. starting【解析】句意：例如，你正在做一份你讨厌的工作，你梦想着放弃它，开始自己的事业。
根据句意“you are working at a job that you hate, and you are dreaming of giving it up”，你讨厌你的工作，想要放弃它，根据常理，下面应该是开创自己的事业。start开始，是一个动词，符合语境。该空与前面的giving it up并列，也应用动名词形式。故答案为starting。
59. never【解析】句意：这是一个很大的风险，可能会让你永远不想再冒险。
根据上文“But one day, you can't stand your job any more, so you leave it even though you haven't really had a plan.”可知，在没有计划之前，就放弃了你的工作，这种冒险是不可取的，其结果是会让你永远不想再冒险。never“永远不，从不”，是否定副词，符合语境。故答案为never。
60. failed【解析】句意：然而，他失败了很多次。
这一段的标题是“Don't Be Afraid of Failure”“不要害怕失败”，文章以爱迪生为例，告诉我们即使伟大的人也经历了很多失败。根据句子结构可知，该空是句子的谓语动词，考查fail，且应用一般过去时态，这里填过去式。故答案为failed。
61. closer【解析】句意：但这些失败让他离成功又近了一步。
句子But表示转折，因此这里是想要告诉我们，失败并不是没有任何意义的，它是我们走向成功的里程碑。这里考查close to…“离……近”，且根据语境，失败的经历让我们离成功更近了，应用比较级形式。故答案为closer。

54. bad【解析】句意：这并不总是坏的。

55. from【解析】句意：然而，走神也会妨碍你完成工作，让你夜不能寐，或者损害你的健康。
stop sb. from doing sth. 阻止某人做某事,固定短语，故答案是from。

58. quickly【解析】句意：相反，它能让你集中注意力，你能快速地完成更多的事情。
分析句子可知，空处需要一个副词来修饰动词get，根据“Do one task at a lime, it won't slow you down.” （一次做一件事，它不会减慢你的速度。）可知，集中注意力可以使你快速完成事情，quickly快速地，故答案是quickly。
59. When【解析】句意：当时间到了，就重新集中注意力到下一个任务上。
根据上一句“If there's something keeping your mind wandering, allow yourself a specific(特定的）time to worry, think or plan.”（如果有什么让你心不在焉,允许自己在特定的时间内去担心，思考或计划。）可知，这里指的是当时间到了，when当……时，句首首字母大写，故答案是When。
60. facing【解析】句意：但通过勇敢地面对，并努力解决它，你就可以摆脱你的担忧。
根据“ trying to solve it, you can get away from your worrying thoughts”可推断，此处指的是勇敢面对，face面对，“and”连接的两个动词形式要一致，由trying可知，此处填facing，故答案是facing。
61. accept【解析】句意：如果你尝试了所有的方法还是不奏效，那么就接受那些你无法改变的事情。
根据句意结合常识可知，如果无法改变，那么就只能接受，所以应该是accept接受，这里是省略了主语you的祈使句，故用动词原形，故答案是accept。

36. but 【解析】句意：她只有十岁，但她有帮助其他孩子的伟大想法。
空前讲“她只有十岁”，空后讲“她有帮助其他孩子的伟大想法”，前后句意出现转折，用but表转折。故答案为but。

根据上文“she helped 12 kids with it”可知此处是说孩子们脸上的笑容，用their表示“他们的”。故答案为their。

46．was【解析】句意：我在看我最喜欢的杂志，我的小女儿在我身边玩耍。根据句意理解及前句中的I was reading my favorite magazine可知，这里表达的是“我正在……”，前面用的是过去进行时，所以这里也用过去进行时，空格后面是ing形式，且句子主语是单数名词，所以这里应该用was，47．to

54. say 句意：但不要愚昧地认为你对他们想说什么就说什么。根据后面的句子“Here are a few things foreigners____54____China should never say.”可知，短文介绍了外国人在中国最忌讳说的一些话，不是想说什么就说什么，情态动词say后跟动词原形，故答案为say。
55. in 句意：这里有一些外国人在中国不应该说的话。in China在中国，故答案为in。
56. why 句意：这就解释了为什么雨伞在晴天和雨天一样常见。explain“解释”，中国人不喜欢皮肤黑，在晴天也打着雨伞，这也是雨伞在晴天和雨天一样常见的原因，故答案为why。
57. sentence(complaint) 句意：不要说出那样的话（抱怨）。that是指前面的“I really love China, but…”，是一句抱怨的话，故答案为sentence(complaint)。
58. own 句意：如果你对自己的国家说些不礼貌的话没关系。在形容词性物主代词所修饰的名词前面加上own，表示“某人自己的”，故可以添加own。
59. sweet 句意：说你喜欢中国菜，就像说出糖很甜或冰很冷一样。根据“ice is cold”判断，此处是让你说出事物的属性特征，糖给我们的印象肯定会是甜的，故答案为sweet。
60. nothing/little 句意：但他们可能会认为你对他们的饮食文化一无所知。根据前面的句意“说你喜欢中国菜，就像说出糖很甜或冰很冷一样”理解可知，好像说出这样的话跟没说一样，会让中国人认为自己对他们的饮食文化一无所知。故答案为nothing/little。
61. enjoy 句意：要记住它们，祝你在中国过得愉快！并列连词and前后连接的是两个祈使句，需要填写动词原形，短文是写给外国游客的，最后要献上祝福的话：祝您在中国过得愉快！enjoy“享受……的乐趣，过得快活”。

【答案与解析】很多人都喜欢音乐，有一项研究也表明，音乐可以使人们更快乐、更健康。音乐的类型有很多，不同的人喜欢的类型也是不一样的。短文中作者给我们介绍了他不同时刻喜欢的不同音乐，还提到了他家附近的一个音乐馆。
41. make 句意：根据世界卫生组织的一项新研究，音乐能使我们更快乐、更健康。根据句意和空后us happier and healthier可知，这里应表示“使…怎么样”，应用使用动词make，空前有情态动词can，故这里填动词原形make。
42. full 句意：当我情绪低落的时候，我喜欢充满希望和能量的流行音乐。根据句意和空后的of可知，这里考查短语full of…充满…。故这里填full。
43. It 句意：对于我来说听轻音乐很容易就能睡着。这句话使用的句型是It is+形容词+for sb. to do sth.“对于某人来说做某事是…的”，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。故这里应填It。
44. who 句意：一些医生发现了一个事实—喜爱音乐的人可能更长寿。根据句子结构可知，…love music是一个定语从句，修饰名词people，指人，故应填关系代词who，在从句中作主语。
45. his 句意：在我住的附近，一个男人和他的妻子拥有一个小的音乐屋，里面有情调音乐。根据句意可知，这个空指代那个男人的妻子，故应填形容词性物主代词his，意为“他的”。
46. singing 句意：青少年们喜欢来这里消磨时间，同时音乐家唱着各种各样的音乐。根据句意musicians are… different kinds of music可知，这里应表示“演唱…”，while引导的时间状语从句中使用的是现在进行时，故这里填现在分词singing。
47. by 句意：有时候我们会非常幸运听到一些著名的歌手演唱他们自己写的歌。根据句意songs written“被写的歌”，这里应填介词by，表示“被…”。
48. so 句意：这些歌曲如此优美以至于我们都会跟着一起唱。根据句意和句子结构可知，这句话中使用的是句型so…that…如此…以至于…，引导结果状语从句，故这里填so。
49. not 句意：它不仅使我们想起了过去的好时光，而且给我们带来了甜美的回忆。根据句意可知，这句话中使用了连词短语not only…but also，意为“不但…而且…”，因此这里应填not。
50. least 句意：我们每一个人，不管富有还是贫穷，年轻还是年老，可能都至少有一首最喜欢的歌。根据句意可知，这里考查的是短语at least，意为“至少”，故这里应填least。
【点睛】
这篇短文的话题是音乐，是一个学生们都非常熟悉的话题，因此文意比较容易理解。题型是根据文意在空格上填写适当的单词，题目中没有给出关于单词的任何提示，学生们只能通过上下文的意思进行猜测，还需要注意单词的适当形式。做题时，应先通读短文，将空格隔过去，了解文章的大概意思；然后再确切理解每句话想要表达的内容，填写适当的单词。句子的结构、固定短语等，也是解题的关键。例如第3小题，这句话使用的句型是It is+形容词+for sb. to do sth.“对于某人来说做某事是…的”，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式。故这里应填It。再如第9小题，而且给我们带来了甜美的回忆。根据句意可知，这句话中使用了连词短语not only…but also，意为“不但…而且…”，因此这里应填not。
