Today we think of Abraham Lincoln as a great leader. What most of us don’t know is that he was a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day.

Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪审团), and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincoln’s stories were irrelevant and distracting (转移、分心) to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincoln’s jokes more than anyone else in the court room.

As a politician, Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “Nothing else — not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions — disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincoln’s saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.

As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincoln’s neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “What’s the matter, Mr. Lincoln?” the neighbor asked. “The same thing that’s the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln answered. “I have three walnuts, and each one of them wants two of them.”

One cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience and relieving the pressure he experienced as President during the terrible Civil War.

1.When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?

A. He wanted to satisfy the judge’s desire for jokes.

B. He wanted to distract his opposing lawyer.

C. He wanted to relieve his pressure.

D. He wanted to impress the jury.

2.What might be Douglas’ attitude towards Lincoln’s humorous stories?

A. Appreciative.　　 B. Annoyed.

C. Concerned.　　 D. Surprised.

3.What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To educate.　　 B. To inform.

C. To persuade.　　 D. To entertain.

I used to be the most determined resolution-maker. Even as a child, I was always goal-centered and loved the feeling of accomplishing things, and every January 1st, I would sit down and write out my resolutions (目标) for the upcoming year. And what resolutions they were! I always picked big goals, like: In the New Year, I will lose 50 pounds! And run a marathon! And study scripture (圣经) every day!

The problem? I’d start out strong, but by February or March, I’d be out of willpower and I’d slide quietly back into my old habits. Every winter, I’d feel guilty and ashamed, looking back at all of the amazing things... I think one of my biggest problems with New Years resolutions was wanting to “dream big” but not having the skills and ability to do those things.

Now I take the opposite approach I’m all about the little goals. First, little goals are easy to set. Instead of saying I’m going to run a marathon, I’ve decided I’m going to run 20 minutes three days a week. Second, little goals are easier to accomplish. Every time I check one of my mini goals off my list, I feel a burst of pride and accomplishment. It’s a great feeling, and I don’t have to wait until the end of the year to enjoy it!

The other great thing about making small goals instead of resolutions is that you can build small goals on top of each other, adding the achievements together. For instance, recently I decided to make sure I ate five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. After a few months, this became a solid habit.

1.Why did the author feel guilty and ashamed?

A.Because she picked big goals as her resolutions.

B.Because she failed to accomplish her resolutions.

C.Because she was looking back at the amazing things.

D.Because she loved the feeling of accomplishing things.

2.How did she change her new year’s resolutions?

A.She put all of her goals together.

B.She checked mini goals off her list.

C.She set small goals instead of big ones.

D.She didn’t make resolutions any more.

3.What did the author want to say in the last paragraph?

A.Small goals are easy to set.

B.Making resolutions is not reasonable.

C.Eating fruits and vegetable is a good habit.

D.Small goal can contribute to big achievements.

4.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Setting Small Goals Not Big Ones B.Combining Big and Small Goals

C.Making New Year’s Resolutions D.Setting and Achieving My Goals
