When watching a football game, one of those great high school games, set to determine who starts when the real games begin, I noticed the coach called “defense”(防守) only when the team was “protecting” their goal. As long as the team was fighting for more ground they played “offense (进攻)”. Along the same lines, I’ve heard the phrase, “a strong defense requires a good offense.” , if you pay more attention to gaining ground than on protecting your goals, your accomplishments will be greater. Time spent protecting your goals is wasted time, when you could be working toward attaining(实现) your goals rather than preventing others from reaching their goal.

　　In business, if you waste your time focusing on what your competitor is doing rather than working toward meeting your goals, you won’t make much progress.

　　Focus your attention on where you’re going. Don’t waste time worrying about where your competitor is. You will gain ground while they are watching you. Smile as you reach your destination.

　　63. The writer of the passage intends to tell us ________.

　　A. a common rule in a football game

　　B. how to beat our competitors

　　C. how to overcome our doubts and achieve our goals

　　D. how to deal with doubt in our business

　　64. The author’s purpose of mentioning Doubting Thomas in the first paragraph is to ________.
