5.As you are on a new journey,you will constantly have an idea in your mind of how long it should take you to accomplish your final goal.For example,some new bloggers start out with great passion and write day and night.Then they are very disappointed when it doesn't happen the way they imagined in the beginning.They end up feeling burned out before they ever touch any success.(36)GTheir mistake is focusing on deadlines rather than goals.The following suggestions can be of great help.
Focus on finishing the task.
Don't put all your mental energy into finishing a task within a certain time frame.(37)C.If you really want to do this,you will stick to it no matter how long it takes.

Learn to enjoy the journey.
If you know that your journey is going to take longer than expected,you can enjoy the time it takes to get there.With your eyes trained on the road ahead instead of on the end point on your map,you will have time to enjoy the scenery and really acknowledge where you are at any given moment.(40)E Keep a journal of success and failure and just keep moving forward,one small step at a time.

A.Stay motivated toward your goals.
B.The reasons for setting your goals are essential.
C.Instead,concentrate on finishing the task period.
D.But they keep going and make efforts to achieve the goals.
E.Allow yourself to get pleasure from the journey you are on.
F.Ranking your goals helps you know what is meaningful to you.
G.And they give up before their goals are achieved as they first imagined.

Use logical consequences
    There are many times when a parent has a golden opportunity to allow the consequences of bad behavior to take effect; but due to their pity or their desire to"protect"the child,they deprive(剥夺)him of the consequences and punish him in their own way.(29)ASometimes the consequences that follow their actions are enough to teach them to be more re sponsible for themselves and their things.

2.CAt one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse.Today,however,America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I.Recently about 2,000,000nurses are needed and 60percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten(=say that you will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want) the quality of care provided.The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.
What has become of these women in white?The answer lies in not one but several causes.One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options(职业选择).In the past,women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices:nursing or teaching.Today,more women than ever are in the work force,but their choices have greatly increased.There are women doctors,lawyers,firefighters and police officers.In fact,women today are found in nearly every field of work.Nursing has been left behind,as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status(地位).A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as"just a nurse".Teachers may be also at fault.Many high school students are actually being steered(劝导) away from nursing,told by teachers that they are"too bright to be a nurse".
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention.In fact,the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years.Obviously a larger population requires more nurses.AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care.Usually fatal diseases mean long hospital stay,that is to say,more nurses are needed to care for these patients.It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years.
44.Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage?C
A.Because American health conditions are becoming worse and worse.
B.Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.
C.Because women have been provided with many different jobs.
D.Because women no longer choose to be nurses.
45.The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault forD.
A.not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US
B.introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students
C.not asking the government to raise the nurses'payment

D.Nursing used to be a popular job among women.
12.Headaches are one of man's most common enemies.Most people get headaches from time to time.What causes headaches and what can we do about them?
Probably more than 90% of all headaches are caused by worry or tension.Modern living produces tension for everybody-at work,at school and at home.What can we do about tension and worry in our lives?First,find what is causing the tension.It may be caused by emotions.Do you worry too much over what people think of you,over your clothes,or about what you did or didn't say?Are you on good terms with your employer,neighbor,best friend,school friend or family?If not,why not?Next,find a way of reducing tensions.Gardening,walking,running,swimming or any activity suitable for your age will help reduce tension.Then look at your way of life.Ask yourself,where am I going?And why?Learn the secret of relaxation.Lie down in a dark quiet room and relax as much as possible by taking several slow breaths.Let all your muscles relax.
Habits of daily living also produce headaches.These include lack of exercise,especially sitting for hours watching TV or studying,lack of fresh air,lack of sleep and eating too much.Get in the habit of balanced living:plenty of sleep,regular exercise,regular meals,good food,fresh air and avoiding harmful things such as heavy smoking,alcohol and strong coffee.A headache can be the body's reaction against these things.
There are other causes of headaches.Headaches may be caused by infections or low blood sugar.If your headache gets worse,see your doctor.

9.Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation(创新) that threatens the survival of companies everywhere.It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work,so they shouldn't be challenged.While this may be a valid(有效的) assumption in situations that don't change,it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation.In today's rapid changing global environment,old methods often don't work,and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems.
Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security.If everyone else believes it,then it must be true.Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right,and being right is good.They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work.In 1977,Ken Olsen,co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC),stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home."Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry,DEC no longer exists.
People seem to forget that since innovation is a change,there can be no innovation without change.Unfortunately,conventional wisdom prevents leaders,followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating.If companies don't innovate,but their competitors do,the future is likely to be problematic.Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries,so it has a powerful effect on business success.
Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little,if anything,about the news business,but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour,as was common before CNN.Turner's solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24 hours a day.The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time,and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day.However,it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don't have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work.Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information.Due to conventional thinking,the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted.They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future.
Conventional wisdom prevents creativity,flexibility and risk-taking,so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it.To survive,thrive and maintain competitive advantage,companies must be flexible when reacting to change.
28.DEC has disappeared probably becauseC.
A.the consumers didn't like its products
B.the leaders lacked the sense of security
C.the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas
D.the employees took many risks with changes
29.The founding of CNN is used as an example to proveB.
A.missing opportunities could lead to failure
B.changing could contribute to business success
C.watching news at the dinner hour is convenient
D.conventional wisdom influences business success
30.What does the underlined part probably mean?D
A.Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly.
B.Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work.
C.It's necessary to understand when people watch the news.
D.It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time.
31.The passage is mainly written to tell us thatC.
A.old methods are changing with time
B.opportunities lead to business success
C.conventional wisdom limits innovation
D.successful companies need wise leaders.
