Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people        how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a         to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are         drivers. One has a destination（目的地）in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goals or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver,         she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas (汽油). Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making          and setting goals.       people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set—and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must       what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more        to achieve it. Written goals can be         regularly, and have more power. Like a contract（契約） with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also        you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson,   小題1:  (kill) by one of the elephants he loved. This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future of London Zoo—and maybe for all of Britain’s city zoos.
London Zoo said that it   小題2:  (move) its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London. Its director-general（總經(jīng)理）, Michael Dixon, said, “We are sorry that the elephants   小題3: (leave); there   小題4:   (be) elephants at London Zoo since 1831.”
One British newspaper said that though many small animals were very interesting, most people wanted to see big animals—and most of all elephants.
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman   小題5:  (call) Mary said she wished the zoo  小題6:  (keep) big animals. “This is the only way the young people can see animals without  小題7:  (travel) to other countries,” she said.
Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to well keep them. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry. “If the elephants  小題8: (send) back to the wild, they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop  小題9: (visit) London Zoo. It can survive （繼續(xù)生存）at the moment, but it   小題10:  (not survive) in the future. "
However, Mary Rosevear, director of the Federation of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.

Head teacher, teachers, grandparents, parents and classmates, I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today. I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people, so please forgive me if it shows!
As we all know, this is the school leavers’ party, and it’s time to say goodbye to everyone. We’re sorry to leave you at the end of our junior high school education, and we promise that we'll never forget the happy times we have spent in these buildings with you all.
I’d like to thank three groups of people for the three things I’ve learnt while I’ve been a pupil at our school. The three things are friendship, love and knowledge.
The first group is my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of fun. Many of us will go to new schools and we may not see each other so often in the future. Others will go on to senior high school and continue their close friendships. But friends don’t have to see each other all the time. Sometimes the friends you treasure most are the friends you see less often. A life without old friends is like a day without sunshine. We'll always stay in touch.
The second group is our parents and grandparents. We thank you for the love you have shown us during our years at junior high school, for making a home where we feel both safe and relaxed, and where we can prepare ourselves for our school days. We also thank you for your help with our homework. How many of us owe our good grades to the suggestions you have made during those long evenings?
And finally, the third group is our teachers. We can never pay you back for your kindness, your patience, and gift of knowledge which you have offered us; sometimes you’ve made us work very hard. But you have always been fair and you’ll always be our role models. There’s a saying from Ireland which is a favourite of mine: Strangers are only friends you haven’t met yet.
I couldn’t say it better myself. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you all and wish you success for the future.
小題1:Who was the speech made by?
A．A teacherB．A studentC．A parentD．A manager
小題2:What’s the purpose of the speech?
A．To thank people.B．To look forward to the future.
C．To say sorry.D．To worry about the tests.
小題3:Which words can you use to describe the tone?
A．troubledB．worriedC．excitedD．humorous

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory(記憶力) works in the same way.
When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault, But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, and few of us know that it is just his own fault.
Have you ever found that some people can’t hear or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things; they can not write them down in a little book. They have to remember days, names ,songs and stories. So their memory is the whole time being exercised.
小題1:The main reason for one's poor memory is that his parents have poor memories.
A. right    B. wrong
小題2:If you don't use your arms or legs for some time, they will become strong.
A. right    B. wrong
小題3:A good memory comes from more practice.
A. right    B. wrong
小題4:Some people can't read or write, but they have better memories, because they have saved trouble.
A. right    B. wrong
小題5:The best title of this passage is “How to Have a Good Memory”.

This summer I will leave the junior high school where I have been for three years. I am generally considered to be a careful and polite boy now.

If I fail, you will get all of my toys, OK?” They said, “OK!”
Then I went up to the window of the second floor. I took a deep breath and then jumped down, stretching out my arms just like Superman. Then I hit the ground.
