答案：
1.[B][定位]根據題幹中的happiness，satisfaction，fulfillment and joy查詢到首段最後兩句。
解析：首段最後兩句重複了you'll have the key to...這個結構，表明末句也與倒數第2句開頭的when you find your heart's desire構成條件-結果的關係，選項B就是when引出的從句表述的內容，故為本題答案。
2.[B][定位]根據題幹中的unshakable，self-confidence等查詢到第1個小標題Take Some Time to Determine Your Ideal Lifestyle部分的第2段最後一句。
解析：原文該段開頭To...表明unlock your potential是一個目的，而首句的you must...和其他句子的You need to...都是達成這個目的的方式，本題題乾的主語部分是該段末句提到的內容，也與unlock your potential構成方式-目的關係，由此可見，本題應選B。
