when i ask, “what is success?” the first response is, invariably(总是), “getting a(n) 1 and making money.” it 2 some searching to arrive at a richer answer. 3 , getting paid is a baseline for success in any field. putting this criterion on the table is a(n) 4 step.when i ask design students to talk about what makes design different from the fine 5 , they gravitate towards(被吸引到) the role of the client. designers serve clients, or so the logic goes, 6 artists serve themselves.although it is true that designers generally rely on clients, pleasing them is not the 7 purpose of our work. what designers share with our clients is the 8 . our clients wouldnt need us at all if we werent helping them 9 that public. the public may never know who designed the coffee cup theyre holding, the magazine theyre reading or the sign thats 10 them where to go. but theyre seeing it, and some of them might, at some level, have their 11 enlivened(使有生气), simplified or otherwise improved by it. one way to think about success is asking whether your work gets 12 or used, and if so, whether using it improves peoples lives.designers have many ways to 13 to their profession and to see and be seen in the design world. one is entering competitions and 14 work to annuals and exhibitions. another is 15 the design communitygoing to events, lectures and conferences, and helping to organize them, too. yet another involves 16 and writing. blogs and online journals like this one enable any designer to have a voice and share ideas.success is 17 going to work every day and getting paid. success means finding personal satisfaction 18 your work and loving what you do. and it means engaging with a(n) 19 world: a world of clients and employers, but also of readers, users and other designers. it is those things that make us 20 .1、a、familyb、interviewc、jobd、award2、a、involvesb、raisesc、acquiresd、takes3、a、again

what this elvis presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have. i mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. about nine oclock on saturday morning i decided to ask eugene correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this elvis guy so special. he told me that it was elvis wavy hair and the way he moved his body.about half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage（孤儿院）were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown jacksonville, florida to get a new pair of buster brown shoes and a hair cut.that is when i got this big

got my new buster brown shoes, i could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that i had my new buster brown shoes i would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like elvis. we

asked him, with a big smile on my face. “lets just see what we can do for you, little man,” he said. i was so happy when he started to cut my hair. just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. she whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling her “no”. then he told me they were not allowed to give us elvis

dont need millions to be happyin fact, at the happiness institute in australia, a couple of hundred dollars may be enoughthe institute opened its doors last year, and since then, men and women of all ages have been paying $140 an hour for lessons on how to feel great“you can actually increase your happiness levelsthats what we teach,” said timothy sharp, founder of the instituteexperts say that only about 15 percent of happiness comes from income and other financial factorsas much as 85 percent comes from things such as attitudes, life control and relationshipsmost of us are significantly better off financially than our parents and grandparents, but happiness levels havent changed to reflect thatstudies show that once the basic needs of shelter and food are met, additional wealth adds very little to happinessmany years ago, the “sage of baltimore, maryland”, editor hl menchen, defined wealth as earning $100 more than your “wifes sisters husband”behavioral economists now say part of the reason we are richer but not happier is that we compare ourselves to people better off materially“the argument is that if you want to be happy theres a very simple thing you can do: compare yourself to people who are less well-off than you - poorer, smaller house, car,” said sharpthe happiness institute aims to show you how to overcome these unhappiness factors by focusing on “more than just your bank account”“if i compare my self to bill gates then im always going to be down,” said sharpa better thing to compare with, he said, might be kerry packer, australias richest person who has had a kidney transplant and heart surgery in recent years1which of the following statements in true according to the passage?ayou can increase your happiness levels by attending the classes at the
