Various activities has been organized in many schools. These activities provide students for two major advantages. First of all, they play a positive role in improve students’ studies. Due to their heavily schedules, students are often buried in textbooks and seldom enjoyed a colorful life. But the activities provide opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds. Beside, the activities also give students more chances to get in the touch with society. To take part these activities, students have to leave the classroom and get to know other people.

All this offers an important mean for students to broaden their horizons. By getting involved in school activities, they have a full school life but in turn help school activities to develop.

Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of setting goals for achieving their dreams.

Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling (攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.

People who set goals literally generate(形成) a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.

By setting goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.

Goal setting means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may happen as well as the solutions（解决方法）to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges happen because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.

Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.

1.The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A. explain the difference between the two goals

B. show the importance of setting goals

C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals

D. tell us setting goals makes one confident

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000-mile, around-the-world bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised ￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.

White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.

The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

Traveling without a map in different countries，I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs：in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．”

People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．“How far away is the post office?” you ask．“Oh,” they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here.” You don’t understand completely，“Yes，but how many miles away is it，please?” To this question you won’t get an answer，because most probably they don’t know it themselves．

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language．Instead，a Greek will often say,“ Follow me.” Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．

Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question．What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea．”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers “I don’t know.” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!

However，one thing will help you everywhere in the world．It’s body language．

1.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?

A．“Go south two miles．Turn west and then go another mile．”

B．“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school．”

C．“The post office is about five minutes from here．”

D．“The post office is at Street Kamira．”

D．They prefer to use body language．
