B. Read the text and circle the correct modal verbs. Note that in some cases more
than one of the three modal verbs in bold may be correct.
How would you define success? Some (1) can / may / might think a comfortable life
with enough material possessions to make life enjoyable and a healthy relationship with
family and friends are enough. Others (2) may / could / can't consider wealth the
measure of success.
But, no matter what you think, you are bombarded daily with coded messages
promoting a specific notion of success. "If you wear this watch," advertisements say,
"you (3) must / will / can succeed in everything you do." "Eat and dress like a model,"
the fashion industry whispers, "and you (4) will / must / can't have the world at your
feet." It (5) might / could / can't work, you think; it's no coincidence that models date
superstars and always look so perfect. What about the entertainment industry? Stars
are usually rich, good-looking and married to other equally beautiful stars. They
consider themselves successful and we believe that it (6) can't / must / may be so. But
they (7) can / will / can't also be moody, selfish, unhappy and lonely. Then we hear
about a star's emotional breakdown and think: "It (8) mustn't / can't / may be true.
They have it all - why would they be desperate?"
At the end of the day, how do we measure success? We (9) must / might / may be
making money or a name for ourselves, raising a family or gaining more knowledge,
and those are wonderful individual goals to pursue. I personally believe success is
measured by how happy with life I am. So, when I catch myself smiling, I think to
myself: "I (10) must / might / will be doing something right," and I try to find what that
thing is and make sure I do it again.
