A

(2013·山西太原五校检测)

There are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us

has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting

our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because

each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable 3 environments in which to express these abilities，it is necessarily true that we

must define success broadly.

For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery

and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd

who tends his sheep，enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature，and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of

him and accepted by his family and his society.On the other hand，it seems that even

though some people appear to be rich in material possessions，many of them seem to

be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards

of success.Because not all ventures can be successful，one should not set unrealistic

goals for achieving success，but if one has self­cconfidence it would be unfortunate

to set one’s goals at a too low level of achievement.

A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration (挫败)

with his own professional success，“You do not have to set your goal to reach the

moon in order to have success in traveling.Sometimes one can be very successful

merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown.” The man added，“You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have

been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your

best effort.”

1．According to the first paragraph，what is implied as basics in achieving

success?

A．Ability and goals.

B．Goals and determination.

C．Ability and environments.

D．Goals and environments.

2．Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because________.

A．their life is busy and miserable

B．they haven’t reached their own standards
