8．Facts About Goal SettingThese practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals：
Specific，realistic goals work best．（21）G"I'm going to recycle all my plastic bottles，soda cans，and magazines"is a much more doable goal than"I'm going to do more for the environment．"And that makes it easier to stick with．
（22）F It will probably take a couple of months before any changes-like getting up half an hour early to exercise-become a routine part of your life．That's because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you're doing is part of your regular routine．
（23）A Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for．Writing it down works too．Every time you remind yourself of your goal，you're training your brain to make it happen．
（24）B The key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself-you have to do it because you want it，not because a girlfriend，boyfriend，coach，parent，or someone else wants you to．It will be harder to stay on track and motivated if you're doing something out of obligation to another person．
Roadblocks don't mean failure．Slip-ups are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking．It may take a few tries to reach a goal．But that's OK-it's normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change．So remember that everyone slips up and don't beat yourself up about it．（25）D
A．Repeating a goal makes it stick．
B．Pleasing other people doesn't work．
C．You should make a change in your life．
D．Just remind yourself to get back on track．
E．Set a goal and come up with steps to reach it．
F．t takes time for a change to become an establishedhabit．
G．When it comes to making a change，the people who succeed are those who set proper goals．
分析 这篇文章讲述了实现目标的五要素，掌握它们会帮助你更轻松容易的达到你的目标．
解答 21--25 GFABD
21．G 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文"I'm going to recycle all my plastic bottles，soda cans，and magazines"is a much more doable goal than"I'm going to do more for the environment．"And that makes it easier to stick with可知，"我将要回收我的饮料瓶、易拉罐、和杂志"这比"我将要为环境做贡献"这种目标更容易坚持，上文应是：当面临一个变化，成功者常常制定具体的容易实现的目标．故选G．
22．F 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文It will probably take a couple of months before any changes-like getting up half an hour early to exercise-become a routine part of your life可知，在做任何改变之前这将会花费将近一两月的时间，比如每天早晨早起一个小时去锻炼，并让它变成你生活中的惯例，上文应是：要去改变一个已经建立起的习惯是要花很长时间．故选F．
23．A 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you're working for．Writing it down works too：每天早晨大声说出你的目标并且提醒自己什么是你想要的，写下来也有用，上文应是：要不停的重复一个目标并且坚持．故选A．
24．B 考查上下文理解判断能力．根据下文The key to making any change is to find the desire within yourself-you have to do it because you want it，not because a girlfriend，boyfriend，coach，parent，or someone else wants you to可知，关键在于做出任何改变是要发掘你自己内在的欲望，你不得不去做这件事是因为你想要，不是因为你的女朋友，男朋友，教练，父母或者某个人让你去这样做，上文应是：使他人高兴无效．故选B．
25．D 考查上下文理解判断能力．最后一段主要讲遇到障碍并不意味着失败．错误往往是学习过程中的一部分，所以要记住每次犯的错误，不要以此打击自己，只需要记住：要回到原来的道路上．故选D．
点评 七选五题型看似简单，实际上有时完全作对并不容易，需要方法和分析能力及足够的耐力，有必要进行专门练习．首先，快速浏览一遍七个备选答案，先确定哪个选项适合放在文章的什么位置．其次，快速浏览文章，确定文章体裁，抓住文章结构，分析篇章结构，找出各段的主题句或主旨大意．其三，注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段，寻找句中衔接标志词，七选五备选答案中有两个多余的选项，会对文章中两个空的选择构成干扰，这时要特别细致地比对相似选项．最后，用代入法，检查答案是否合理，将所有选择答案放回空白处，通读全文，检查文章内容是否语义连贯合理、紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确．
