There are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept 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 a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep,enjoys his frugal 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 and accepted by him 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 suecess,but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.
A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration 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 counselor 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."

The word "frugal" (Line 3,Para.2)means_________.
A:wealthy
B:wasteful
C:thrifty
D:miserable

Fermi Problem
On a Monday morning in July,the world's first atom bomb exploded in New Mexico desert. Forty seconds later,the shock waves reached the base camp where the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi and his team stood.After a mental calculation,Fermi announced to his team that the bomb's energy had equated 10,000 tons of TNT. The bomb team was impressed,but not sur-prised.Fermi's genius was known throughout the scientific world.In 1938 he had won a Nobel Prize.Four years later he produced the first nuclear chain reaction,leading us into the nuclear age .Since Fermi's death in 1954,no physicist has been at once a master experimentalist（实验室）and a leading theoretician（理论学家）.
Like all virtuosos（大师）,Fermi had a distinctive style. He preferred the most direct route to an answer. He was very good at dividing difficult problems into small,manageable bits talent we all can use in our daily lives.
To develop this talent in his students,Fermi would suggest a type of question now known as a Fermi problem.Upon first hearing one of these,you haven't the remotest notion of the answer, and you feel certain that too little information had been given to solve it. Yet when the problem is broken into sub-problems,each answerable without the help of experts or books,you can come close to the exact solution.
Suppose you want to determine earth's circumference without looking it up.Everyone knows that New York and Los Angeles are about 3,000 miles apart and that the time difference between them is three hours.Three hours is one-eighth of a day,and a day is the time it takes the planet to complete one rotation（旋转）,so its circumference must be eight times 3 ,000 or 24,000 mi-les .This answer differs from the true value,24,902 .45 miles,by less than four percent.
Ultimately the value of dealing with everyday problems the way Fermi did lies in the rewards of making independent discoveries and inventions.It doesn't matter whether the discovery is as important as determining the power of an atom or as small as measuring the distance between New York and Los Angeles.Looking up the answer,or letting someone else find it,deprives you of the pleasure and pride that accompany creativity,and deprives you of an experience that builds up self-confidence.Thus,approaching personal dilemmas as Fermi problems can become a habit that enriches your life.

Fermi's team was impressed by Fermi's announcement in the base camp because he could even work out the power of the atom bomb in his mind.
A:.Right
B: Wrong
C:Not mentioned

Which of the following italicized parts is a subject clause?

A．We are quite certain that we will get there in time.
B．He has to face the fact that there will, be no pay rise this year.
C．She said that she had seen the man earlier that morning.
D．It's sheer luck that the miners are still alive after ten days.
