Every once in a while, it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long, hard look at where we are in our lives. At this point, it is good to ask yourself a bunch of critical questions. Are you at the point in your career where you want to be ? Have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life ? If so, then maybe it is time to make goals that stretch yourself a bit more. If you have not accomplished your goals in life, then perhaps you have made the mistake of setting too many goals or trying to accomplish them at an unnaturally fast pace.

It is necessary to set reasonable, intelligent goals in order to succeed in life. Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. But you should try to recognize what you want, and to be as specific as possible when attempting to visualize（形象化） or otherwise express what your goals in life are.

In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. The bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. If you want, for example, to be the greatest concert pianist, in the world, then you are going to find yourself a lot more motivated than you would be if your goal were merely to, say, play a couple of Beethoven pieces extremely well. If you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. But if that is your only goal as a pianist, then you will stop growing as a pianist once that goal has been achieved. This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.

1.From the passage, if your goals have all been achieved, you should then ______.

A. ask yourself some serious questions

B. take a hard look at your success

C. set some other intelligent goals

D. stretch yourself to relax

2.By saying “life is not a fairy tale”, the author suggests that you should ________ .

A. set as big a goal as possible

B. try hard to realize your dream

C. make your goals practical

D. abandon all your ambitions

3. To perform several Beethoven pieces well is a goal that _______.

A. is not suitable for the pianist

B. is appropriate for a beginner

C. stops you from growing as a pianist

D. is very easy to achieve

4.What is the best title for the passage ?

A. Set Intelligent Goals for Yourself

B. Try to Accomplish Your Goals

C. Get Yourself More Motivated

D. Goals Help You to Succeed

The world is too big to take in all at once. To make sense and beauty of it, you have to look at a small part at a time.

In using a camera, you choose a small part through he view finder. You move the camera, “framing” pictures until you see one that pleases you. Then-click! If you make a good choice, your picture will please others, as well as yourself.

“Wherever you are,” says photographer Ernst Haas, “you are surrounded by pictures. The trick is to recognize them.” His photograph of a twist of barbed wire shows what he means.

Mr. Haas tells us of ways to practice seeing. Make a simple frame of black cardboard. Take it out of the doors and look through it at everyday things, large or small, far away or near.

At first you may see nothing to interest you. But soon pictures seem to leap (跳) at you through the frame. Oil floating on water makes a picture in rainbow colors. Three people on the steps of an old house form a picture that seems to tells a story.

Did you notice such things before you used the frame? Perhaps not. But, with practice, you soon do not need its help. You see things as artists do. Everywhere, shapes and colors catch your eye. Your mind takes “snapshots (快照)” of their patterns. Then, if you wish, you can share what you see by taking a photograph or by making a drawing or a painting.

Sometimes it’s fun to “see small”. Did you ever notice the design of the seeds in sliced bananas? Have you looked deep inside a lily? Or seen the starburst in the center of a wet ice cube?

Do you see colors as they really are? When you paint tree trunks, you would make them brown or black. But tree trunks are really gray, purple, yellow-green—almost any color except brown or black!

Do you notice detail? Doing so can be in many ways. Remembering what you see is often useful, too. Practice can help you.

A trick for helping you to remember detail is the double take. Look—don’t look—then look again.

1.What does the underlined word “trick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. joke B. magic

C. habit D. skill

2.What does the author want to tell us?

A. The better you learn to see, the more alive you are.

B. Walking in the country, you should look closely at the trunks.

C. A branch with a few leaves fills the frame with a beautiful design.

D. Close your eyes and try to remember how it looks.

3.Which of the fallowing is true according to the text?

A. When you paint trees, you would make them gray.

B. Glance at a bill and you remember how it looked.

C. Seeing is one way of living.

D. Give a second look and you remember all the detail.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. The world is too big to travel around.

B. Look around—and see!

C. Wherever you are, a camera is important.

D. A good way to see is to carry a camera

Everyone should visit a lighthouse at least once.

The most important reasons for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors(祖先) battled nature with the basic tools they had. They had only basic ways of creating light, and yet they found a way of using this simple technology in isolated（孤零零的）places to save ships from hitting rocks.

Secondly, visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers. By their very nature, lighthouses were built on some rocks of cliffs. Thus, the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives. To walk around their small home, and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls, is to take a step towards understanding the lives they had.

The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time. It is true that lighthouses were built in out-of-the-way places. But on a pleasant sunny summer day, this very isolation has a natural beauty that many people will love to experience. Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the lighthouse, the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.

Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings. Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure, but felt the need, even in such an isolated place, to build with an artistic touch. The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy.

Finally, lighthouses have a romantic attraction, summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated keeper climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives.

1.What is the reason to look back into the past of a lighthouse?

A. To escape from the busy and noisy city.

B. To look for the tools used by our ancestors.

C. To experience the natural beauty of a lighthouse.

D. To learn about the living condition of lighthouse keepers.

2.The underlined phrase “out-of-the-way” in Paragraph 4 means ____________.

A. far-away     B. dangerous      C. ancient       D. secret

3.Lighthouses were often built with an artistic touch _________.

A. to attract visitors       B. to guide passing ships

C. to give a pleasant sight  D. to remember lighthouse keepers

4.How many reasons are mentioned for a visit to lighthouse?

A. Three   B. Four     C. Five      D. Six
