2009年1月SAT写作真题：
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. (2009.1)
Most people underestimate their own abilities. They tend to remember their failures more vividly than their successes, and for this reason they have unrealistically low expectations about what they are capable of. Those individuals who distinguish themselves through great accomplishments are usually no more talented than average person: they simply set higher standards for themselves, since they have higher expectations about what they can do.
Assignment: Do highly accomplished people achieve more than others mainly because they expect more of themselves? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

1. 题目翻译：
许多人低估了自己的实力。他们更清楚地记得自己的失败而不是成功。因此，他们对自己的能力期望过低。那些有着突出成就的人并不比一般人有天赋，他们仅仅是为自己设定了更高的目标，因为他们对自己的能力有着更高的期待。
题目：成功人士是否因为他们对自己期待的更多所以他们更有成就?
2. 审题关键词：expect more, achieve more
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲
