二、语法填空
This past weekend I was browsing through my RSS reader,and I came across an interesting post 1 (title)What is success.The author is basically questioning what should be considered success,and he comes to the 2 (conclude)that success should be measured as the positive effect his work will 3 on the lives of other people.
The article caught my attention because I have the exact same opinion. 4 (obvious),I don’t think there is right or wrong as to how we define success.The term 5 (it)is a subjective thing,so what success means to you might be different from what it means to me or other people.
I think 6 is useful to discuss about such definitions,because it helps us to analyze 7 or not we are moving in the right direction.
For example,most people tend to equate success with money.That is,the more money you make, 8 successful you are.But under this definition one could argue that a drug dealer who makes 9 (million)of dollars annually is a very successful person.I don’t agree with this.I could tell you that such a drug dealer is a smart businessman,but I wouldn’t call him 10 success,because the effect he has on the lives of other people is actually a very negative one.
