【分析】
本题为短文选词填空题，解题思路如下：1. 通读全文，把握短文主旨大意，明确每处空缺的语境；2. 分析每个空缺处的句子结构，判断所需词性（如名词、动词、形容词等）；3. 结合方框内词汇，依据语境、语法规则（如名词所有格、动词形式变化、固定搭配等）选择词汇并进行正确变形；4. 验证填入词汇后是否使短文通顺、逻辑合理。
【解析】
1. 句意：追求的目标是我们想做或想拥有的某事。something表示“某事”，符合语境，故填something。
2. 句意：一名运动员的目标可能是赢得一场重要的足球比赛。此处需用名词所有格修饰ambition，athlete的所有格为athlete's，故填athlete's。
3. 句意：商人的目标可能是赚很多钱。make money是固定搭配，to后接动词原形，故填make。
4. 句意：不是所有目标都关于工作上的成功。about表示“关于”，符合语境，故填about。
