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 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 self-confidence 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(失败) 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.”

36．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.

37．Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because ________．

A．their life is busy and miserable

B．they haven't reached their own standards C．they set their goals at a very low level D．they are not rich in material possessions

38．From the last paragraph we can tell that ________． A．success means achieving great goals B．success comes from setting great goals C．success means efforts and favorites pay off

D．success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel

课时作业(三十六)

Ⅰ.1.B 考查名词辨析。句意：他最终服从了大多数人的意愿。minority少数；majority大多数；average 平均的；common 常见的，共同的。

2．B 考查形容词辨析。句意：他的身体在日渐好转。显然这种药对他的病有很好的疗效。apparent显然的；strange 奇怪的；complex 复杂的；uncertain 不确定的。

3．C 考查部分倒装。否定短语by no means置于句首时，主句部分倒装。此处it作形式主语。

4．B 考查动词时态。句意：——你猜我是谁？——对不起，我忘了你的名字。slip one's mind被遗忘。根据上下文语境应该用现在完成时。

5．B 考查非谓语动词。indicate意思是“预示，显示”，和其逻辑主语evidence为主谓关系，也就是说evidence是indicate的动作发出者，所以用现在分词表示主动。

6．C 考查短语辨析。句意：许多人认为要跟只会说“是”或者“不是”的人维持一段对话很难。break off意为“折断”；focus on意为“集中于”；keep up意为“保持，继续，跟上”； listen to意为“听”。根据句意可知C项正确。

7．C 考查习惯用法。It occurs/occurred to sb.that„某人突然想起„„

8．D 考查冠词用法。第一空表示“一项早期网上调查”用an；第二空the majority of意为“大多数”。

12．D 考查名词性从句。句意：外太空是否存在像地球上一样的生物现在还不能证实。whether引导主语从句。

13．D 考查动词短语辨析。根据句意，这里表示“收留”，故用take in。worry about为„„担心；bring up教育，抚养；give up放弃。

14．A 考查固定句型。likely意为“很可能”，It's likely that„意为“很有可能„„”；easily意为“容易地”；probably是副词，意为“大概，或许”；nearly意为“差不多，几乎”。句意：他还没找到另一份工作。他在短期内得到一份工作是不可能的。故A项正确。

15．D 考查情景交际用语。根据语境，问句是提出请求而非建议，故不能选A, with pleasure是对建议的回答，意为“当然了，很乐意”，选项B和C不恰当。故选择D项， by all means(一定，务必)表示肯定回答，符合句意。

Ⅱ.生活中总是有许多令人失望、沮丧和烦恼的时候，但当我们的生活很美好时，为什么要浪费时间去自寻烦恼呢？

16．C 根据下文内容可知，此处表示“每个人都能看出他们对彼此的爱是真诚的”。

17．B 本空后面的部分是妻子给丈夫提议的内容，因此答案选B，proposal意为“提议，建议”。

21．D 由“So each of them went to a ________ room and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other.”可知，丈夫同意了妻子的提议。

23．C 接着他们都在思考这个问题，并且把他们想到的都写下来。fit in with适合，与„„一致；look up to尊敬，尊重；come up with想出，提出；face up to敢于面对。

24．A go over查看，细看；carry out执行，实施；answer for对„„负责；look for寻找，期待。第二天早上，他们决定看看彼此写的缺点。

28．B 妻子又接着念，一直把整整三页内容向丈夫念完。

Ⅲ.在本篇文章中，作者从不同的角度定义了成功。

36．C 推理判断题。由文章第一段的最后一句可知，因为我们每个人拥有的遗传的能力和有利的环境不同，所以我们对成功的定义很宽泛。由此可以推断，作者认为能力和环境是取得成功的基本条件。

37．B 细节理解题。文章第二段倒数第二句指出，有的人已经很富有了却认为自己不成功，这是因为他们是根据自己的目标判断成功与否的。

38．C 推理判断题。文章最后一句指出，在没有尽全力做自己喜欢的事而失败之前，失败都不算是真正的失败，由此可推知，C项正确。
