5．There's a science to setting goals．Below，we share some research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals．
Choose a goal that matters，not just easy win．
A meaningful goal-（61）one that truly inspires you to change-requires going deeper．Think about what you want in the coming year，then ask yourself （62）whyyou want that．For example，if you walk to quit （63）smoking（smoke），ask why do you want to quit？Then，if you want to quit for your health ask why do you want good health？Then，if your answer is to be alive long enough （64）to meet （meet）your grandchildren，ask why do you want to meet your grandchildren？
Set up your goals positively．
How you describe your goal makes （65）a big difference．Focusing on （66）what you want to"bring into your life-not what you want to avoid-wi11make you more likely to （67）actually （actual）pursue it．
Prepare for failure（in a good way）．
Moments of failure （68）are （be）unavoidable，but most of us abandon the goal entirely when slight failures and setbacks start piling up．At the moment when you fail，often the first instinct（本能）is to push the goal away．It's so （69）uncomgortable（comfort）to be in that condition of self-doubt or self-criticism and guilt．
Your task is not to avoid failures，（70）but to plan for them．Ask yourself，how am I likely to  fail？For example，if you're likely to choose unhealthy meals when you're hungry，carry a light snack with you．
6．Crack cocaine is the most addictive torm ot cocaine．Users become （31）addicted（addict） to crack cocaine much more easily if they smoke it Smoking（32）allows（allow）cocaine to reach the brain very quickly．（33）Using（use）cocaine increases the user's heart rate and blood pressure．（34）As a result，cocaine users sometimes have heart attacks．Smoking crack cocaine also causes anti-social（35）behaviour （behave）．
3．In the Western countries，especially in America，some social customs have lasted till today．For example，Ladies First，that is to say，women in these countries （16）are respected（respect） in many ways．
In the USA，（17）as in Europe，you will see men usually open doors for women，and women generally walk ahead of men into a room or restaurant，（18）unlessthe men have to be ahead of the ladies to choose the table，to open the door of a car or to give other services．On the street，men almost always walk or cross the street on the side of the ladies （19）which/that is closer to the traffic．But if a man walks with two ladies，he should walk between （20）them．
If the host or hostess comes to fetch their guest for dinner in a car，the guest should sit at the front seat and leave the back seat free，as the host or hostess is also （21）the driver．When the host shows the guest to the sitting room，most men （22）seated（seat） in the room will stand up if the guest is a lady．Generally speaking，younger ones are introduced to older ones first．The ladies in the sitting room will not stand up （23）whether the new comer is a man or a woman．
Though today it is the fact that the custom is followed by （24）fewer（few） people than in the past，especially among the young people，women of all ages still want to keep the custom．Anyhow，（25）it is believed that women are still respected in many ways in the Western countries．
10．When you have a pet dog，it is necessary to care for it carefully．
The most （86）importantpart of dog-care is cleanliness．Not only does the dog have to be kept clean，（87）buthis environment should be clean．The bed it sleeps（88）on/incan be made with a carpet．Proper feeding is also important to your dog's （89）health（健康）．A dog should be fed in the same place and on a （90）regular（有规律的） schedule．Food should never be left before a dog for （91）overthirty minutes．Remember to keep fresh water available during hot weather．（92）Anotherimportant thing many dog owners forget is exercise for their dogs．（93）Active/Positive（积极的） exercise helps build strength and keeps the dog healthy．（94）Walkingthe dog at a fixed time the of day is enough to help the dog live a healthier and （95）happierlife．

4．Although the new road is being used，it has not yet been officially opened．
（以下选自《新概念英语》）
1．A lot of my school friends eat sweets every day but I'm lucky because I don't have a sweettooth（牙齿）-I'd rather eat a nice piece of fruit．
2．Rene Descartes'explanation of pain has long been acknowledged in medicine．He proposed that pain is a purely physical phenomenon-that tissue injury makes specific nerves send a signal to the brain，causing the mind to notice pain．The phenomenon，he said，is like pulling on a rope to ring a bell in the brain．It is hard to overstate how deeply fixed this account has become．In medicine，doctors see pain in Descartes'terms-as a physical process，a sing of tissue injury．
The limitations of this explanation，however，have been apparent for some time，since people with obvious injuries sometimes report feeling no pain at all．Later，researchers proposed that Descartes'model be replaced with what they called the gate control theory of pain．They argued that before pain signals reach the brain，they must first go through a gating mechanism in the spinal cord（脊髓）．In some cases，this imaginary gate could simply step gain signals from getting to the brain．
Their most amazing suggestion was that what controlled the gate was not just signals from sensory nerves but also emotions and other"output"from the brain．They were saying that pulling on the rope need not make the bell ring．The bell itself-the mind-could stop it．This theory led to a great deal of research into how such factors as mood，gender，and beliefs influence the experience of pain．In a British study，for example，researchers measured pain threshold and tolerance levels in 53 ballet dancers and 53 university students by using a common measurement：after immersing your hand in body-temperature water for two mintues to establish a baseline condition，you put your hand in a bowl of ice water and start a clock running．You mark the time when it begins to hurt：that is your pain threshold．Then you mark the time when it hurts too much to keep your hand in the water：that is your pain tolerance．The test is always stopped at 120 seconds，to prevent injury．
The results were striking．On average female students reported pain at 16 seconds and pulled their hands out of the ice water at 37 seconds．Female dancers were almost three times as long on both counts．Men in both groups had a higher threshold and tolerance for pain，but the difference between mals dancers and mals nondancers was nearly as large．What explains that difference？Probably it has something to do with the psychology of ballet dancers-a group known for self-discipline，physical fitness，and competitiveness，as well as by a high rate of chronic（慢性）injury．Their driven personalities and competitive culture evidently accustom them to pain．Other studies along these lines have shown that outgoing people have greater pain tolerance and that，with training，one can reduce one's sensitivity to pain．
There is also striking evidence that very simple kinds of mental suggestion can have powerful effects on pain．In one study of 500 patients undergoing dental procedures，those who were given a placebo injection and promised that it would relieve their pain had the least discomfort-not only less than the patients who got a placebo and were told nothing but also less than the patients who got actual drug without any promise that it would work．
Today it is abundantly evident that the brain is actively involved in the experience of pain and is no more bell on a string．Today every medical textbook teaches the gate control theory as fact．There's a problem with it，though．It explains people who have injuries but feel no pain，but it doesn't explain the reverse，which is far more common-the millions of people who experience chronic pain，such as back pain，with no signs of injury whatsoever．So where does the pain come from？The rope and clapper are gone，but the bell is still ringing．
