Question

【題目】 Most people have ambitions. An ambition is something we want to do, want to be or want to have. A student’s ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job. An athlete’s ambition could be to win an important competition. A businessman’s ambition is usually to make a lot of money.

Not all ambitions are about success at work, however. Some people just want to be good people, have a family or help others.

【解析】

本文講述了不同的人都有不同的抱負和志向，并介紹了幾個人的抱負和志向。

【1】根據An ambition is something we want to do, want to be or want to have，可知，抱負是我們想做的事情，想要成為的人或想要擁有的事情,所以空格處填An ambition is something we want to do, want to be or want to have。故答案為An ambition is something we want to do, want to be or want to have。

【2】根據A student’s ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job，可知，一個學生的抱負可能是通過考試，然后得到一份好工作，所以空格處填A student’s ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job。故答案為A student’s ambition, for example, might be to pass his or her exams and then get a good job。

【3】根據Ben’s ambition is to be a sports writer，可知，本想成為一名運動作家，并不想成為音樂作家，所以空格處填No,he doesn’t。故答案為No,he doesn’t。

【4】根據Not all ambitions are about success at work，可知，不是所有的抱負都是與工作的成功有關的，所以此空處填No,they aren’t。故答案為No,they aren’t。

【5】根據His mother would be happy his ambition was to get up in time for school every day，可知，如果哈里的抱負是每天準時起床去上學，他的媽媽會很高興。由此可知，哈里每天早上都不是準時起床，所以空格處填No,he doesn’t。故答案為No,he doesn’t。
