问题    From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
   The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
   You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial (长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance and blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
   You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
   Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
   If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
   In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they______.
选项 A、are ready to change their minds
B、are easily affected by windy weather
C、don’t have the power to face their fate
D、can’ t exercise control over themselves
答案D
解析 根据第三段第二句“Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself，and thus over your life．”和最后一句 “They are leaves tossed by the winds of chance and blown about with any sudden change in the weather．”可推知，自尊取决于对自我的掌控程度，自尊心不高的人像树叶一样随 风飘摆，是因为他们无法掌控自我。故选D。
