The following are some important reasons why you need to set goals for yourself.

1. Having a goal written down with a set date for accomplishment(完成)gives you something to plan and work for.

2. Most of us have big dreams that seem impossible to accomplish. It's easy to feel disappointed when you're staring at a difficult task. Proper goal setting can help break larger aspirations(愿望)into smaller and more achievable stepping stones.

3. Sometimes, looking back on a goal you set for yourself six months, or one year ago, you realize that you were supposed to accomplish a lot more than you actually did. It's a sign that whatever you're doing isn't working. So you need to make real changes if you want to get where you want to be.

4. There are times when we set goals that don't really show what we want. Sometimes we think we need more money, when we really need a change of environment. By asking ourselves what we really want and continually reconsidering our goals, we can find out what we really want in life.

5. Imagine you're on vacation. Wouldn't you want to find out exactly what you want to see with the limited(有限的)time? In many ways, life is like a vacation. We're given a limited amount of time to pursue the experiences we want and then before you know it, it's time to go. Without a clear sense of what you want to do you'll never be able to live life to the fullest.

A. Goals move you forward.

B. Goals help you live life to the fullest.

C. Goals help you make more money.

D. Goals hold you accountable (对……负责) for failure.

E. Goals tell you what you truly want.

F. Goals help to turn difficult tasks into easy ones.

From red apples and yellow lemons to blueberries and green melons, fruit comes in many different colors. 1..

According to Lu Wei from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, fruit colors actually come from their different pigments(色素).These pigments appear differently, depending on the fruit's environment. 2..

To find out how environment influences fruit colors, Chinese scientists studied more than 280 different fruit colors. They found that red fruit usually grow in cooler places. And instead of just growing in one place, you can find them growing in many places around the world. 3.. These fruits grow a lot in just one certain area. The scientists also found that the closer the fruit is to the equator(赤道), the darker its color will be.

4.. Animals eat fruit and drop the seeds(种子)in other places later. This helps the fruit spread and grow in different places. Therefore, in order to attract animals, some fruit develop colors that are easy for animals to see.

However, animals see colors in a different way.5.. For example, birds can see red more easily than humans can. Therefore, there is more red fruit in areas where birds live. The lemurs(狐猴)of Madagascar are red-green color-blind. Many yellow fruit can be found there, as they can easily see this color.
