答案 Luck and Success People have different opinions about how success comes. Some people believe that success comes from luck; others think it is because of hard work. Personally, I fully agree with the claim that there is no correlation between success and luck. Firstly, as for the genuine meaning of the term "success", luck is not the dominant aspect of it. What is success? I like to say that success is a great integration of a good motivation, a good procedure, and a good result. That is, success means not only the self-realization or economic abundance, but also enduring endeavor or firm belief. Being a rich man or a powerful man without hard work is never a "success". Bill Gate’s success with the windows operator came to be with his observation that computers were an upcoming field. He just went to a potential field with many opportunities. But his hard work and determination ensured him a giant business named Microsoft. Secondly, it is impossible to make a career if one is indolent and lacks knowledge, at least in developed countries. Even if someone was unbelievably lucky enough to become a manager not being qualified enough, he will be asked to resign in the near future because of his inability due to lack of knowledge and experience to make right decisions. For instance, I used to work for a very small company owned by a friend. This company was later closed because of bankruptcy. The cause of bankruptcy was wrong strategies and decisions made by the owner. After the failure, he went to a university and worked for another company so that he could obtain experience and become a successful businessman. Nowadays, he considers himself a successful person because he had turned into reality his two biggest dreams of producing consumer goods of high quality and making charitable donations to needy people. In conclusion, some people believe that success is a result of hard work while others believe that luck is a big part of success. Though a little bit of luck plays a positive role, I do believe that hard labor and great endeavor rather than luck are the origin of human happiness and success.
解析     本文立意准确、思路开阔。作者从成功的定义出发，从根本上将成功和撞大运区分开来；此外，作者还强调在当今社会，没有知识就不可能成功，而知识是不能靠运气获得的。这两点很有新意，且分析到位，令人信服。在论证方式上，作者的一大特色是使用了举例论证，这些例子有广为人知的、大家都公认的成功人士的例子，也有作者自己身边朋友的例子，例子来源的多样性使得文章读起来饶有趣味，毫无枯燥之感。在本文的结尾部分，作者先重新介绍了正反两方的观点，再使用让步状语从句，肯定了运气的一些作用后点明了成功的重要因素不是运气，而是艰苦的劳动和努力。这样的结尾强调了艰苦努力对于成功的决定作用，给人以“一语惊醒梦中人”的感觉。
