Question

【题目】 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.
