请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每空格1个单词。
It’s often said that high self-confidence is key to success. In fact, low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful. Sure, extremely low confidence is not helpful, but just-low-enough confidence can help you readjust your goals so they are more realistic and attainable and have a better chance of succeeding. There are three main reasons for this:
★Lower self-confidence makes you pay attention to negative feedback and be self-critical: Most people get trapped in their optimistic biases, so they tend to ignore negative feedback. Although this may give them confidence, achievement is 10% performance and 90% preparation. Thus, the more aware you are of your soft spots, the better prepared you will be.
★Lower self-confidence can motivate you to work harder and prepare more: In fact, low confidence is only negative when you are not serious about your goals. If you really want what you say you want, your low confidence will only make you work harder to achieve it — because it will indicate a gap between your desired goal and your current state.
★Lower self-confidence reduces the chances of looking arrogant(自大的): Indeed, people with low self-confidence are more likely to admit their mistakes - instead of blaming others. This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence because it points to the fact that low self-confidence can bring success, not just to individuals but also to organizations and society.
In brief, if you are serious about your goals, low self-confidence can be your biggest help to accomplish them.

解析

试题分析：自信心不足更可能使人成功，你相信吗？1.可以认识到自己的缺点，做自我批评；2.可以让你更努力，准备更充分；3.减少自以为是的几率。如果你认真对待你的目标，自信心差可能是实现目标最大的帮助。
小题1:根据文中的 low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful.可知自信心不足更可能使人成功。enable …to do sth.意为：使……做某事。successful的动词形式是 succeed放在to后。
小题2:全文介绍了三个原因来说明作者的观点。所以这里填Reasons。
小题3:根据文中的原因一Lower self-confidence makes you pay attention to negative feedback and be self-critical可知，这里用 focuses your attention on 来代替同义短语pay attention to。
小题4:根据文中的the more aware you are of your soft spots, the better prepared you will be.判断这里 awareness与aware意思一样，只是词性不同。
小题5:根据文中的the more aware you are of your soft spots, the better prepared you will be.判断这里weaknesses与soft spots意思一样。
小题6:根据文中的Lower self-confidence can motivate you to work harder and prepare more Motivated判断用motivated。
小题7:根据文中的Indeed, people with low self-confidence are more likely to admit their mistakes判断，他们不大可能自大。用 less表示可能性更小。
小题8:根据文中的instead of blaming others判断，这里是说自信心差的人更多做自我批评而不去责备他人。所以选 blame 。
小题9:根据文中的This is the most important benefit of low self-confidence可知，做自我批评对自己和组织都很有益。所以填 beneficial。
小题10:根据全文的最后一句话可知，them就是指前面的goals。
