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.

The museum first opened to the public on 15 January 1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building.

They are sharing or swapping tools and books, cars and handbags, time and talent. The renewed desire to share shows up in a variety of examples: A car-sharing service has had a 70 percent membership increase since the crisis occurred. Some companies encouraged his employees to take vanpooling. Governments are putting bikes on the street for public use. How-to-swap Web sites are increasing quickly. The economy reflects the way Americans have cut back, especially on daily items: Department store sales dropped 1.3 percent in June. People are not buying cars, and as a result, auto sales dropped 27.7 percent last month. They are not paying others to do what they can do themselves Home Depot reports increased attendance at in-store do-it-yourself clinics. And although paint sales are down in general, according to Sherwin-Williams, individual consumers are still buying. When Tom Burdett needed to cut some tiles at his home outside Annapolis, he refused to buy expensive tools. So he asked his neighbors and friends for help. Sure enough, someone had just what he needed. And when that friend needed help fixing a satellite dish, Burdett volunteered to help. The sharing mind-set is not new to the American culture, but many Americans give it up when the nation changed from an agricultural society to an industrial one, said Rosemary Hornak, a psychology professor at Meredith College in Raleigh, N.C. They moved farther from their families and did not have time to connect with new neighbors because they worked so much, she said. Neighborhood conversations tell more of the story as the movement grows organically (持续地) in communities across the Washington region and the nation. On one street in Arlington, for example, neighbors are collecting their separate money for mulch (覆盖料) and dividing it among themselves. 52. What is the text mainly about? A. Introducing a new way of life. B. Sharing in the financial crisis. C. How to reduce the living expense. D. How to handle the financial crisis.53. Why do people in modern times give up the sharing mind-set? A. Because they dont need it at all. B. Because they arent interested in it. C. Because they are busy with work. D. Because they hate being disturbed. 54. The underlined phrase “cut back” in Para. 3 probably means _.A. shared B. helped C. abandoned D. reduced55. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A. more and more Americans solve problems in their daily life by helping each other .B. if the prices of service goes down, individual consumers wont do something themselves. C. the sharing-mind set is a strange to many Americans.D. when the crisis ends, Americans will abandon the sharing-mind set.

When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are. 1. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably re
