第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be so successful in life? Everything flows just right for them, the great job, great salary, perfect love, and ideal life. One reason for success is the ability to make correct choices and decisions that lead to positive outcomes. It’s based on power of understanding things immediately, without the need for conscious reasoning or study. This ability is intuition(直觉)and highly successful people enjoy a higher degree of intuition than the average person.

Successful people combine all they have learned together with what they sense with their intuition.

Everybody is intuitive, but not everybody trust their intuition when it comes to making decisions. Most people don’t even believe they have intuition, so, it doesn’t even cross their minds to use it for problem solving. Even today, there are those who are afraid of their clairvoyant(有透视力的)abilities. They have many

misconceptions about it, thinking it’s taboo. Others believe they have it, have had experiences with it, but never knew it could be a valuable toll for problem solving. Intuition is actually a skill that can be developed and applied effectively for improving all areas of life. It is not a “gift” that only a few have. In fact, everyone has some degree of intuition. Your intuition has probably been a guiding force for you all of your life by having provided you with information that help you reach positive outcomes. This type of information tends to come from hunches, inspirational thoughts, dreams, or visions. It can, coincidentally, come from others or from your inner voice. Often, it’s a very strong feeling deep in the pit(凹处)of your stomach, or your heart. No matter how the information comes to you, when applied, the outcome is usually positive.

Intuition is like reading. It’s a skill that can be developed through time. No one is born knowing how to read; yet almost everyone has the potential of learning how to read. As time went by, the more we read the more skillful we became at reading. With intuition, the more you understand, and use your intuition, the better it develops. Some people seem to have more intuition than others. It’s probably because they had positive experiences with it as they were growing up, and are now more comfortable with using it.
