问题     Fears, in general, keep us from reaching our full potential. Fear of success is probably one of the hardest fears to identify, a fear that lies in unconsciousness and one that has the power to really keep us stuck.
    Dealing with fear of success requires us to look at ourselves and take responsibility for areas within us, but most times we attribute to other people or【C1】______events. After all, you may be thinking, who would sabotage (蓄意破坏) their own efforts to succeed and more【C2】______why would anyone do that?
    It’s important to understand that fear of success—like many other fears—is unconscious. Success implies visibility: being seen by others involves a level of vulnerability and【C3】______that we ought to engage in, in order to let the ones around believe in our abilities and trust that what we do is valuable and worthy. Before others are able to do any of these things, we must be the first to believe and trust in our own abilities.
    For the most part, we can control how we【C4】______ourselves in front of the world, the message we are trying to【C5】______, and so on. Yet earning someone’s trust and furthering our accomplishments requires cohesiveness between the images we are trying to convey and what others perceive.
    You may be very apt at maintaining a certain image and yet the people around【C6】______much more than what you want to【C7】______. Human beings are able to pick up on subtle cues in our non-verbal communication, including how we feel toward ourselves. What that means is that if at the core we have【C8】______about ourselves, insecurities about our abilities and low levels of【C9】______in what we do, then unconsciously, we will attempt to guard these areas from the eyes of others. This is where fear of success comes into play: aware of some of these shortcomings and in an attempt to hide our "weakness" we end up acting in an【C10】______manner and in the process, create a less than cohesive and consistent image. In short, we end up blocking ourselves.
A) unauthentic I) convey
B) confidence J) doubts
C) external K) expose
D) explore L) negatively
E) exposure M) perceive
F) describe N) commonsense
G) importantly O) present
H) suspicion
【C4】
选项
答案O
解析 空格位于we和ourselves之间，由此推断应填入动词，作谓语。根据上下文可以推测出空格所在句的意思是“我们可以控制我们如何将自己呈现在这个世界面前”，故答案为O)present“呈现”。动词备选项中首先考虑D)explore“探索”，“探索自己”的话就应该随心而动，就无所谓“控制”了，故排除D)；F)describe“描述”从语法上来说是没有问题的，但注意ourselves后面还有in front of the world，这里存在一种临场感，而describe缺乏这种临场感，同时也没有present恰当，故排除；I)convey“传达”一般不与反身代词搭配使用，故排除；K)expose“揭露，揭发，曝光”和M)perceive“察觉，感知”这两个动词与上下文语义不符，故均排除。
