11、nce.The man, thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success, rushes off in that direction. Along the way, he is occupied in inking up something special but there is nothing. Suddenly there comes a loud splat（溅泼声）. Eventually, the man limps back in rags, assuming he must have misinterpreted the m

12、essage. Therefore, he returns to the guru for a reason. He repeats his question to the gum, who again points silently in the same direction.The man was obedient to walk off once more.

B【解析】试题分析：这是一篇哲理性小故事。有一个人渴望找到成功的道路，于是询问一名智者，智者指向远处的一个地方。于是这个人就一直向前，失败后就又不再继续寻找，最终什么也没有找到，狼狈不堪。智者告诉他，成功就是经历失败后继续向前。这篇文章告诉我们，不要过早的放弃，成功就在你失败之后。1. 推理判断题。由最后一段“what he says is that “Success is that way.

Just a little past the splat.”可推断，智者认为成功时经历许多失败以后，继续向前

18、。故选C。4. 主旨大意题。纵观全文特别是最后一段的内容可推断，文章通过讲述一个人追逐成功的故事，告诉读者不要太早的放弃，失败后继续坚持，你就会成功。故选B。BDear Customers,I love slipping into a comfortable chair for a long readas I relax into the chair; I also relax into the authors words, stories and ideas.
