Lately, I’ve been talking about success with design students both at the school where I teach and at other programs that I visit. When I ask, “What is success?” The first response is, invariably, “Getting a(n)
1
and making money.” It

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,
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

that public. The public may never know who designed the coffee cup they’re holding, the magazine they’re reading or the sign that’s
10
them where to go. But they’re 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
or used, and if so, whether using it improves people’s 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 community—going 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)

world: a world of clients and employers, but also of readers, users and other designers. It is those things that make us

【 山东省菏泽市2017高考英语一模试题】B
When I was a small boy my family was very poor. My father always used his savings to
21
my mother to visit her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the house. One evening Dad came home from
22
and there was no food in the house, not
23
a piece of bread. Although we were
24
, my brother and I went to bed without eating anything.
My father had no money, but I knew from the
25
on his face that he could not let us have an empty stomach. He
26
the house and about two hours later returned and quickly
27
us up. He had in his hand two small potato pies, which he gave us to eat. I don't know where he got the

29
to get us something to eat.
My father had not eaten and had worked all day

he may ever have given me.

I am trying to make is that in difficult times it is

37
that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and
38
and memories that have carried me forward and helped me to

40
I have learned that it is the valuable time you spend with your children and the values you give to them that will remain with them always.

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.

A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
