“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories.
· Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning? · Family—What kind of relationship(关系)do you want with your parents and other family members? · Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals? | · Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true? · Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place? · Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do? · Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself? |
Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?
To help make the process (过程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
1.Is life a long journey according to the passage?
2. Why do you need to set your life goal?
3.What should you consider when you set a family goal?
4.How can we achieve the main goal easily?
5.What does the writer want to tell us?

Different colours can affect us in many different ways; that’s according to Verity Allen. In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.
“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(产品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We respect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design(设计)new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”
During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colours in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.
Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity goes out of her way to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.
1.What’s Verity’s opinion about colours?
A.Colours help people choose products. |
B.Different people prefer different colours. |
C.Colours have influences on people in many ways. |
D.People working in colour industry know little about colours. |
2.What can you infer from Paragraph 2?
A.Colours influence people’s feelings and opinions. |
B.People get ideas for new products from colours. |
C.New products are popular because of colours. |
D.Most companies prefer bright colours. |
3.The underlined part “goes out of her way” probably means ______.
A.feels very pleased |
B.makes a special effort |
C.goes on in her own way |
D.carries on very slowly |
4. What’s the passage mainly about?
A.How people use colours. |
B.How colours influence people. |
C.What happens in a programme. |
D.What makes a programme believable. |

In Europe, small cars have always been more popular than large cars. In the United States, large cars and midsize cars are more popular than smaller cars. As a result, European automakers used to make different kinds of small cars while American automakers used to build bigger, heavier cars. However, these days, automakers in both America and Europe produce cars of different sizes. This is because most automakers export their cars all over the world.
The price of gasoline (汽油)is one reason for differences in car choices. Since gasoline is more expensive in Europe, many Europeans want smaller, lighter cars that will travel a long way on a gallon(加仑)of gasoline.
Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many European cities have narrow, winding(弯曲的) streets. In these cities a small car is easier to control than a large one.
For a long time, few Americans bought small cars. Instead they chose large cars, because these roomy cars were more comfortable for large families and long trips. Some people also liked the powerful engines(发动机) that large cars had. Since gasoline was cheap, drivers did not mind that the large cars used a lot of gasoline.
But in the 1970s, there were gasoline shortages in the United States. The price of gasoline went up. Though large cars were still more popular than smaller cars, sales of small cars increased. Some people also bought small cars because these cars caused less air pollution than larger cars.
Today, Americans' car preferences are still changing. Though Americans are still buying many small cars, the fastest growing sales are for certain kinds of large cars. These types of cars are called minivans and sport utility vehicles(SUV). They are very popular today. But of course, that could change tomorrow.
1.In the 1970s, .
A. large cars were less popular than smaller cars.
B. European cars finally came to the United States.
C. the price of gasoline went up in the United States.
D. people in the United States stopped buying small cars.
2.Which of the following does the article lead you to believe?
A. Sport utility vehicles small cars.
B. Minivans are becoming less popular.
C. European car companies sell many cars in America.
D. Cars with powerful engines caused less air pollution.
3.What does “roomy” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. having much space B. having little space
C. having a large room D. having a small room
4.What can we infer(推断)from the article?
A. Small cars are better than large cars.
B. The price of gasoline is always rising.
C. Large cars will always be popular in the United States.
D. People like to have different kinds of cars to choose from.
