Ⅰ．阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
What is success I am not going to try to explain success．I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a gold medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon，or being awarded a Nobel Prize What else I believe personal success could be anything at all—it does not have to involve public recognition．Who is more successful A millionaire who is unhappy，or an unnoticed person，who has led a simple，quiet，sincere and happy life The simplest definition of success，I think，is“to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”．
The first step on the road to success starts with belief．Believe you can succeed and you will．Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力) you choose may be the goal of life；because it gives you freedom from worry．Could that be
Success means different things to every one of us．Some people believe it is measured in financial term；others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves．However，most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition．How many people are really happy How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives Incidentally，the ability to imagine makes us different from animals．
Most important of all，I believe success is a matter of personal growth．If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter，I believe one is successful．Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success．I've got a very long way to go then!
Finally，always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination．It's the journey that really matters．Success is what you become in the very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life．

A．Winning public recognition．
B．Being an unhappy millionaire．
C．Something impossible to define simply．
D．Succeeding in doing what you want．

A．What Is Success

“The 12 we're buying it is that our son died two years ago，”she said．“Maybe your book will help us 13 it．”
Although I would have many more challenging years until my book became a best-seller，this couple's story was all the power I needed at that point to keep me 14 ．
