Probably the hardest part of setting goals is the first step of actually deciding to take action! The first barrier that most people face is the incorrect assumption(假设) that goals are only for business people. The reality is that everyone sets goals mentally throughout the day. There are always occasions where something has to be done at a particular time or in a particular place. Simple examples could be getting up at a certain time in order to be at work, or to meet with a friend for an activity.

The beauty of having goals is the uniqueness of each one to the goal setter. Whether it is personal, financial, or business, they are all specific to that person and their situation.

The most important part is to write them down. Having goals written down gives you power while helping you to focus on this area.

Aim for something that will stretch you while remaining achievable. If you achieve your goal too easily, it is not high enough to make any significant change in your life. On the other hand, if you consistently miss the goals, consider setting them a little lower as you will only get discouraged and probably give up. The aim is to keep you growing and moving into a more satisfactory position.

As you reach the levels that you have set for yourself, always include a small reward at each point. This might only be a small thing in the early days like a meal out or a weekend vacation.

Remember that these changes will not happen overnight and there will be a period of time when nothing seems to be happening. This is why the goals need to be detailed and as specific as possible with a result and benefit.

Allow some time on a daily basis to educate yourself on how to make the necessary adjustments in your life. This could include listening to a CD, or reading a book, etc.

A simple method to start with could be one goal in the main areas of life to be achieved in one month, six months, twelve months or five years. Break that down further into a daily, weekly and monthly system. Stay focused and stick to achieving all that you desire.

1.The main examples in Paragraph 1 tell us that ________.

A. goals are set mostly for important things

B. most people know when it is time to set goals

C. people can set goals to get things done all the time

D. it is necessary to get goals once in a while

2.The charm of having goals is that each goal is ________.

A. important B. achievable C. special D. meaningful

3.A good goal is one that is ________.

A. easy enough for you to feel nice B. high enough yet achievable

C. always in a satisfactory position D. changed again and again

"It took me a year to complete, all at night. I used almost 500 litres of paint. It was the biggest illegal graffiti(涂鸦)piece ever.”

These are the words of a man named Saber from the United States. Saber is talking about a piece of colorful graffiti that he painted in Los Angeles. Saber did not have permission for this painting. It was on city property. Was the graffiti a piece of art? Or was Saber a criminal because he painted it illegally?

Abdal Ullah, a councilor in London, told TIMES magazine, “Graffiti is a crime. It ruins the environment. It makes our neighborhoods feel less safe. And it costs thousands of pounds each year to clean.”

Graffiti artists often use high technology paint. This is hard to remove or paint over. Large cities spend millions of dollars a year to remove graffiti. Graffiti is also often done in places where other criminal behavior takes place, including violence and the use of illegal drugs.

Some people say that some kinds of graffiti can be considered art. Saber from Los Angeles said, “My painting shows 22 years of intense art making. And I think art is the number one goal for myself. Graffiti is the way I learn. Art gets a bad name because it is considered something only for a few people in society. It is seen as something only a rich or highly educated person can understand. And that is not true. Every single child in the world drew a picture once and had that excitement.”

Luckily, there is a group called Writerz Blok in San Diego, California. They set up 12 walls where people can legally paint graffiti. Marcus Tufono, who works at Writerz Blok, explains, “Our goal is to move the illegal graffiti to a legal wall, and then put it on a computer screen and some software, so that they can take their art and use it around the community. Then graffiti artists have a chance to succeed through their art.”

1.Saber’s painting was illegal because ________.

A. it was painted at night B. it was on public property

C. its creator was a criminal D. it was of poor quality

2.What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A. The advantages of graffiti. B. The bad effects of graffiti.

C. The cost of removing graffiti. D. The materials used for graffiti.

3.Which statement may Saber agree with?

A. Graffiti is a type of art.

B. Only a few people understand art.

C. Graffiti is not a good way to create art.

D. Children should be encouraged to draw graffiti.

4.According to the last paragraph, people working at Writerz Blok ________.

A. help artists paint graffiti legally

B. encourage people to paint graffiti freely

C. punish people for painting graffiti

D. remove illegal graffiti in their city
