听力原文:M:And here's our guest, Jane Thomas, to tell us about Montreal's famous yearly Island Bicycle Tour, which is coming up in June .Good morning,Jane.What's the bike tour all about?
W:Well,Peter, it's an event that's open to anybody who'd like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers, but the route's quite different every year; so even people who have already done it might enjoy doing it again.
M: How long does it take to go the whole distance?
W:It varies.Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like.
M:Well,what's the typical pace for a participant?
W: Between 12 and 30 kilometers per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don't cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there's no rush—it's not a race.
M: I understand last year's tour had 45,000 cyclists. That was the largest mass cycling event in the world. How many do you expect this year?
W: The same as the last year. And since we regularly have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up quickly last year, and we had to refuse lots of applications.
M: Before we close, any other tips for prospective cyclists?
W: Yes. Take water with you. It is available at the relay supply. ,And pack a d pack a good lunch with plenty of fruit for energy. Candy and chocolate don't do the trick。

There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily tree that we must define success broadly.
For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by him and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one's goals at too low a level of achievement.
A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: "You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park, or riding the subway downtown," The counselor added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really tike, and to which you have given your best effort."
In the first paragraph, the author implies that _________ are essential in achieving success.
A. ability and goals
B. goals and determination
C. ability and environment
D. goals and environment
