76. ______
Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it? At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes of 1500 prominent people selected at random from “who’s who” in America.Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers.Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.
77. ______
Common sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents.Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality.And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success.
78. ______
To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical judgments on everyday affairs.To do this, one has to sweep aside extra ideas and get right to the core of what matters.A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying.In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”
79. ______
Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be developed.He attributes his success to learning how to debate in school.Another way to increase your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.
80. ______
Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, and of course, luck.But common sense stands out.If you develop these qualities, you’ll succeed.And you might even find yourself listed in who’s who someday.
Section D

Do you spend over an hour each day texting messages to your friends?Do you frequently ignore work, study, and other activities to check your phone for messages?Are you anxious and restless if you are separated from your mobile phone?Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from texting too much?
If , it is very possible that you are a textaholic.A textaholic can be defined as someone who is addicted to sending and receiving messages.The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which takes precedence(优先)over everything else.And bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence will be caused if messages fail to come in.The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems.Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.Make sure your resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone behind occasionally when you go out.Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships by means of text in messages.Not only will you save time add money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure of true communication.
