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 and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’ s like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver，but she drives without an aim around，never getting anywhere，just using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be？
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful 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 and ideals（理想）really are．
Research tells us that when we write a goal down，we are more likely to achieve．Written goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power．Like a contract with yourself，they are harder to neglect（忽視）or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way，you are able to make yourself continuously alert（警覺）to situations that will further your goals．
小題1:The writer gave the example of two drivers to show__________．
A．how stupid the first driver was
B．the importance of having a map and right direction
C．how stupid the second driver was
D．the importance of setting goals
小題2:According to the passage，successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because
_________．
A．the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B．the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves
C．the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out
D．the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
小題3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A．Goals can make you gain everything you want in life.
B．Only successful people can be happy.
C．If you want to succeed，you need to set long-term goals instead of short-term Goals.
D．When we put our goal down on papers，we are more likely to succeed.
小題4:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Goals help you succeedB．How to succeed
C．Why we always failD．A research on setting goals

小題1:D
小題1:C
小題1:D
小題1:A

小題1:根據(jù)第二段By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’ s like having a map to show you where you want to go．可知主要是為了說明確立目標(biāo)的重要性,故選D.
小題1:根據(jù)第三段Winners in life set goals and follow through on them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．描述,可知選C.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to  26  in order to pay the high tuition for my brother and me.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a question to ask you. Is there  30  between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice. She didn’t answer immediately. She  31 her head and continued to sew the quilt.
I was very worried because I thought I had  32  her. I was  33  and I didn’t know what I should do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:
“Susan,” she said thoughtfully, “Look at this thread．Sometimes it  34  , but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt   35  . If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread．It can hardly be seen     36  , but it’s really there. Love is  37 .”

After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father   41  on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.
“Susan, don’t  42  me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”  43  his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and  44 . But from this experience, I understand that love is just  45  in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

We are going on a long train journey. Out of the windows, we can see cars running on nearby highways, children waving at a crossing, cattle grazing（吃草） on a distant hillside, smoke pouring from factories, village houses and city skylines.
But   36  in our minds is the final destination（目的地）. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will  37  into the station. Bands will be playing and flags   38  . Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will   39  and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a(n)   40   jigsaw（拼圖） puzzle.

If you feel at present that you don’t have enough friends in your life，one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have.
Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment．Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don’t get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal（敘舊，更新）with the friends，relatives and acquaintances we already have．
Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!
Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?
If you haven’t seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?
If the main reason you haven’t been getting together with the people you already know is because you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time．Compare it with your real values and priorities（優(yōu)先考慮的事）in life．Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?
If you have become too busy for friends，why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over-committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be delegated to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?
Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities．Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you．
If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.
小題1: The author mainly discusses _______________in this passage.
A．how to spend our spare time
B．how to balance friendship and work
C．whether we should keep friendship
D．whether we should invite friends to dinner
小題2:Which of the following doesn’t indicate a good relationship?
A．You feel depressed with others in life.
B．You have someone to have close talks with.
C．You have someone to count on when you are in trouble.
D．You have fun when you are with someone.
小題3:What does the underlined word “delegated” (Para.7) probably mean?
A．declinedB．a(chǎn)nsweredC．a(chǎn)ppointedD．handled
小題4:The reason why you have become too busy for friends may be the following EXCEPT that________.
A．you spend too much time seeking material toys in your life
B．you stick to doing everything all by yourself
C．you feel it difficult to keep friendship
D．you never refuse whatever other people ask you to do
小題5: Which would be the best title for the text?
A．How to Make New FriendsB．Too busy for Friendship?
C．How to Spend Your Time D．Too busy with work?

I have a painfully vivid memory of my first homecoming from college, in December 1983. After three whole months away, I was back home with my brand new opinions, attitudes and tastes. How could they watch such terrible television programs? I, the English Literature major with Shakespeare and Milton and James Joyce, could hardly bear to sleep under the roof of a house whose few bookshelves held thrillers and bound editions of the Reader’s Digest. I’m sure my family was glad to see the back of me when, at the end of the holiday, I packed up my books and headed back up to university in the north of England.
But the next year must have been even more painful to my parents: I didn’t show up at all. Now, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with young people spending a little time away from their families and with their friends.  It’s part of growing up, something you need to do if you are to become properly independent. However, if you’re not going to be home for the festival, you should at least have the decency to telephone and say you’re not coming.
In English we have an expression, “wet behind the ears.” A person who is wet behind the ears is so immature, that they don’t know how to dry the back of their head after a bath. Just before the following year’s holiday I fell ill, quite seriously so. I’m sure my own behavior contributed to my getting sick: staying out too late, not eating properly—perhaps you know someone like the person I was then. I lay in bed with a fever, feeling very sorry for myself.
I’m sure you can guess who came to my rescue. My long-suffering parents got in their car and sped up the motorway to rescue their son from the consequences of his own irresponsibility.
I hope I’m a better son now; if not, it’s getting a little late in the day if I want to change. I’ve worked in China for nearly 10 years and so I don’t get to see them as often as I like, but my parents are online all the time so we talk many times each week. And this Spring Festival I will be flying back to England for a visit. 
I’m really looking forward to it.
