【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 onation that had the wrong blood type. All of this noise was just pletely foreign to who I was—or, more appropriately, who I had bee. A few hours before, I had been orbiting Earth, seeing our planet from space, flying the most amazing machine ever built by human hands, working with a team that was the absolute success of human. And now here in my room watching what was being sold as news, and with my newfound perspective, I just could not stomach it. My worldview was changed forever in a profound (深刻的) way. The biggest change by far and the one for which I will always be most grateful is this bigpicture perspective. That will stick with me for the rest of my life. Whenever I feel the pressure of modern life, the stress about work, or worry about the future, I remember my time in the space station. Back to seeing the sun set Or watching our galaxy rise on the horizon. Or seeing a sea of lightning flash a hundred times a second. Or simply back to floating weightlessly. When I39。m there in my mind and realize how many billions of these beautiful sunsets there have been and will be in the future, the cares of the world just don39。t seem that pressing. It goes that, Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Living daily life down here on the planet is so much better with this attitude!（1）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word stomach in paragraph 2?

Success is the dream and the end point. And not by coincidence the idea that hard work leads to personal success is as American as apple pie. But the reality is that sometimes we fail. And sometimes things, through no fault of our own, don39。t go our way. We39。re faced with a lifechanging diagnosis (診斷), the passing of a loved one or job loss. We don39。t, as a society, have as much to say here. I think uncertainty does us all harm. We39。d feel better equipped to deal with uncertainty if we talked about it more. I had so fully bought into the belief that with enough effort, I could control what happened in my life. I actually caught myself thinking I could work my way out of my cancer. As it turns out, cancer doesn39。t really care about one39。s work. We might also make wiser decisions — this isn39。t just a feelgood exercise. For example, technology and medicine have progressed to the point that many patients are living longer than they would have even a decade ago. These are achievements worth celebrating. And yet I wonder if the focus on success is sometimes misguided here as well. If it is one reason why we tend to pursue expensive endoflife treatments, they often acplish little other than to make a patient39。s final days painful and frightening. The fact is that, when asked, many patients would rather focus on living meaningfully in their final days. My hope here is to make a case for thinking about meaning, in the same way we think about pursuing success. In that spirit, I39。ve asked several people, each of whom has met misfortune, how they find meaning in their lives. The diversity in their responses reflects the fact that there are no right or wrong answers here. We each can find meaning in different things.（1）What is the typical American idea?
