是天赋还是努力决定了一个人的成功?这是SAT写作话题经常会遇到的问题。下面天道小编为各位考生搜集整理了关于成功是运气还是努力的SAT写作素材，希望对大家有所帮助，大家在准备SAT写作考试素材的时候可以适当了解一下此类信息。

2005年10月SAT考题：

Is success in life earned or do people succeed because they are lucky?

昨天给女儿讲小狐的话剧生涯(fox on stage)，发现这个故事特别适合用在这个话题当中。

Fox wanted a part in the class play.

“We must be fair,” said Miss Moon.

And she put everyone’s name into a shoe box.

Fox wanted the part of the handsome prince.

And he was lucky.

The part goes to Fox.

However, Fox did not work on his part.

The next day at play practice, Fox did not know the part of the handsome prince.

Miss Moon was very cross.

“I know the part of the handsome prince. And I know it by heart!”said Dexter.

The night of the play everyone was excited. Dexter was very good as the handsome price.

And Fox played a tree.

这个故事讲得是小狐特别想在班上的话剧里出演英俊的王子。通过抽签的方式，幸运的小狐得到了这个角色。但是，小狐不背台词。结果在彩排的那天，他根本说不出台词。Miss Moon(老师)非常生气。这时，Dexter说他会被台词。于是，小狐的角色被Dexter取代。最后，小狐只能出演一棵树。

这个故事告诉我们，仅仅指望好运气，而不付出努力，是很难成功的。

请同学们根据这个故事的英文素材，写出自己的段落吧。此故事的作者是美国的詹姆斯马歇尔。评论界称他的作品为“儿童版的心灵鸡汤”。
