高中英语语法填空:短文题型能力练习 Test 1

When you are first learning or perfecting a skill, whether it be baking, archery, or public speaking, it is easy to get stuck in the cycle of analysis paralysis. You want to learn as 　61　 as you possibly can before you actually do the task, but you end up 　62　 (waste) time preparing yourself instead of just trying to do it.

Major League Baseball pitchers don't throw a perfect game every time they play, so why do you expect to be perfect all the time? Jonathan Fields recently wrote an excellent piece on 　63　 the key to getting better at something is to make more bad stuff.

That is a powerful message. In a world 　64　 (fill) with perfectionists who don't want to share 　65　 they've created with anyone unless they think it is perfect: The best way to get better is actually with hands-on practice. And the best way to practice is 　66　 trying over and over again 　67　 you stop failing miserably.

Jonathan uses the example of building a guitar, but 　68　 (want) the first one to be perfect. “Go and make a really bad guitar.” Stop waiting around, go buy a kit and do it. Today. The first one... will be bad. Maybe really bad. 　69　 you'll learn more making one bad guitar than you will waiting to do something and then taking a course that teaches you how to do it right. You'll understand a lot more about the “why” behind good and bad building, and that'll put you in a 　70　 (radical) different position to do it better moving forward.
