Everyone has a different idea about what achieving success involves.For some，they want to lose weight.For others，they desire to build a business that creates financial freedom.
Whatever success means to you，it has probably shaped you over the years by the images you see of people in creating success for themselves.Social media has millions of daily users that are sharing information about their life and business.You see their stories of success and wins.It's not uncommon for people to share successes without talking about the struggle on the path to accomplishing those.As a matter of fact，we can't see the whole picture when someone shares his/her wjye.ais.In other words，we get caught in the comparison trap which can weaken the success-seekers.If you're going to reach new growth levels and accomplish your goals，you'll need to stop chasing a false image of success.
The Internet and social media have created a culture in which individuals can instantly get a sense of satisfaction with themselves.You post an achievement，and immediate praise follows.That satisfaction is exciting and makes individuals want to experience it often.The vanity（虛榮心） causes false decision about what's going on in someone's ljye.aie.If your image of success is this vanity-driven false one，your looking into someone else's success journey is a surface-level glance.You can't base what you do and the decisions you make on the little bit you see.
A smart strategy is when you see success，model it and use what you see from others as motivation.But don't let a surface-level image be your driving force towards your goals.A false image of success has held you back for far too long.Let the false images of success come and go.After all，attitude drives actions.Actions drive results.Results drive lifestyles.

1．Rich and Famous Twenty years ago the most common ambition of American children was to be a teacher，followed by working in banking and finance，and then medicine.But today's situation is quite different.（1）
.Instead，they most commonly say they want to be a sports star，a pop star，or an actor-in other words，they hope to become a celebrity.
According to experts，young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame.（2）.Let's take athletes and singers as an example.Many athletes' best time only lasts a few years and singers can have a very limited career.The field that was once the focus of their lives becomes something they have little or no involvement in.As a result，they'll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control.Besides，it can be difficult for them to adapt back to a normal everyday life.
（3）They are not satisfied with just making a living-they want to be rich and famous.Globally，more and more TV shows provide talent competitions where winners can achieve their goals in just a few weeks or months.This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people. （4）
While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions，others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals.（5）That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success.As a result，many people won't realize their childhood dreams，which could have a negative effect on their happiness.
A.They don't value talents anymore.
B.Nowadays the younger generation prefer excitement.
C.The younger generation don't favor these professions any more.

F.Even so，there is greater ambition than ever among young people to achieve that status.

3．What is a Food Critic A food critic is a writer who specializes in writing criticisms of food.Like theater and movie critics，food critics are supposed to provide thoughtful，well-informed，and objective information to the public so that members of the public can make decisions about where to spend their money. （1）
However some may also engage in more general food writing.
Becoming a food critic takes time.Many food critics pursue professional experiences in the world of food，attending culinary schools，working in restaurants，participating in farming，and so forth. （2）A good food critic is extremely knowledgeable about food，from how certain foods are harvested to the history of various dishes.Food critics also have very well-developed palates，and they may specialize in a particular area.
（3）Food critics may move between publishers over the course of their careers，or start working for the food section of a paper and working up to a position as a food critic.A handful of critics become well known and well respected，with most primarily being known only in the area they serve.
Professional integrity is very important for food critics.Many make reservations and visit restaurants anonymously，so that they get an idea of how a restaurant serves ordinary customers.They also make repeat visits so that they can make fair and balanced assessments of a restaurant and its offerings. （4）Implications of favoritism or bribery can ruin the reputation of a food critic.
This is what food critics are like.They describe and evaluate the food，providing opinions on its quality. （5）These can be used as a reference for readers to make decisions.
A.Food critics have the right to score the restaurant.
B.It's important for them to be familiar with varieties of food.
