只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。10．答案　A解析　根据本段第二句“TheyuseataperecorderoranMP3playertolistentothelinesfromeachrelevantscene.”可知他们使用录音装备录好台词以便反复听。通过这种方法来记忆台词，故A项正确。11．答案　F解析　根据空前一句“Someactorsprefertorecordthelinesofallthecharacters，includingtheirown.”一些演员喜欢把所有角色的台词都录下来，反复听并练习说这些台词。最后达到记住台词的效果。故选F。12．答案　E解析　根据空前一句“如果你不幸忘记一段台词，那么以后你永远都不会忘记这一段台词。”可知，E项“有时尴尬是极好的记忆方法”与上文一致。BAsawomanwholovessolotravel，oneofmymaingoalsinlifeistoinspireotherwomentodothesame.13Thefollowingruleshavedefinitelyenrichedmytravelexperience，simplybecauseithelpsmegetthemostoutofeverypossiblemoment，andIhopeitdoesthesameforyou.◆14Don’tdoubtyourabilitiestofindyourwayinaforeigncountry，orderfoodfromanonEnglishmenu，takeunfamiliartransportation，andmakefriendswithstrangers.Haveconfidenceinyoursocialandproblemsolvingskills，andyouwillconqueranychallengethatcomesyourway.◆Iwilltakedelightinmycompletefreedom.15Sodowhatyouwant，whereyouwantto，andwhenyouwantto，anddonotbeafraidofthiscompletefreedom.Rather，understandtheopportunityyou’vemadeforyourself，andtakeadvantageofitbycreatingatravelexperiencethatmeetsyourdesiresandgoals—yourdesiresandgoalsalone.16◆Iwillgivemyselftheopportunitytogrow.Travelingbyyourselfasafemalemeansthatyou’llbepresentedwithchallengesandnewexperiencesthatyou’llneedtohave.Everytimeyoutrysomethingnewyou’regivingyourselftheopportunitytolearnandgrow.17Rememberthatit’sallpartofthebiggerpicture，andlistentowhatevernewthoughtscomeintoyourheadasaresult.A．It’sOKtobeselfishinthiscase.B．Iwillremovedoubtfrommymind.7
