12．You've heard the saying：if you don't know where you're going，how will you know when you get there．Thousands of successful people attribute （把…归因于） most of their success to goal setting．Knowing this，why don't the majority of people set goals？
Goal setting starts within you．You have to believe it's possible to do a thing before you have a strong desire to write it down on paper and take steps to make it happen．
How do you possibly bring yourself to believe in your own success？After all，so many of you have been at this success thing for a while and it still hasn't happened to you．Companies that you believed in and worked hard for have failed，your family and friends are waiting for you to"be realistic"，and life just keeps giving you one blow after another．But there is a small fire burning inside you．You keep at it because all you know is you can't continue to get up every morning，go to work for someone else and allow them to determine how much you're worth each week which is far below your true value．
So where do you go from here？Where do you start today？The road to inner belief in your success begins with you telling yourself every day，throughout the day，that you can do what you set out to do，you can have what you set out to get，and you can be that successful person you know that lives inside you．Yes，obstacles will come，doubters will be around，but don't you be one of them．
Treat yourself like the person you love and care about most．If you had children who had a paper route and they wanted to accomplish a goal but they kept running into obstacles，what would happen？They would soon become discouraged with so many people telling them no．I'm not interested in what you have to offer．What would you say to your child？I'm sure it won't be the same thing you've been saying to yourself．Turn your words around．Speak those same words of encouragement you would speak to your discouraged child，to yourself．If you would never put a loved one down，especially when they are feeling discouraged，why would you do that to yourself？You have the power within to stop it right now and turn it around．
Be committed （坚定的） from this point forward to speaking words of encouragement to yourself．The mind is an amazing thing．You can convince yourself of anything over time．If you repeatedly tell yourself every day，throughout the day，how successful you are，how capable you are，you will not only start to believe it，you will start to live it．

10．Four schoolchildren from Belgrave，England were out on their bikes on Wednesday evening．Unexpectedly，they saw an elderly man gasping for breath in the street．They tried to call the police and ambulance service，but their phones were not working，due to network problems．
Before the Polish man became unconscious，the children kept him calm while they flagged down（招停），a passing driver．The children used words they had picked up from their Polish classmates to translate the injured man's answer to the driver's questions．Gray，10，and his six-year-old sister，Lily，stayed with the man while Thyus and Owen，both 11，led the ambulance to the spot where he lay．Soon the man was taken to hospital．
The fantastic four children who came to the aid of the elderly man deserve the highest respect for their quick thinking and courage in an emergency situation．They are a credit not only to themselves，but to their families and their school．And it is great to be able to hear such a positive story about young people．
What is not so positive about this story is the fact that several adults apparently walked by without stopping to help．This seeming indifference to an emergency situation is a well-noted phenomenon which psychologists sometimes refer to as"the bystander effect"．Research suggests that when a group of people witness an emergency，people are likely to assume that somebody else will intervene and they feel that the burden of responsibility is lifted from their shoulders．
Perhaps the answer to this sort of thing is to introduce a"Good Samaritan"law．This already exists in France and places a legal responsibility on people who witness an emergency situation to help put as long as they can do so．This certainly seems to remove any doubt about who bears the burden of responsibility for offering assistance-----everybody!
29．In paragraph 3，the author mainlyB
A．shows his great sympathy for the man
B．gives high praise to the four children．
C．offers his special thanks to the driver
D．expresses his anger at several adults
30．What can we learn about the elderly man？A
A．he spoke Polish with the children
B．he fell from his bike and got injured
C．he was taken to hospital by a passing driver．
D．he recovered consciousness in the street
31．The underlined word"intervene"in paragraph 4is closest in meaning toD．
A．be curious
B．go on
C．give up
D．get involved
32．In France，if an emergency happens to someone，A．
A．offering help to him is required by law
B．people have the right to leave the scene
C．others must get permission before helping him
D．the witnesses will be punished if the rescue fails．

9．Many years ago，I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming．Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide．In closing she called me a hero．
That got me thinking about what a hero is．Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car？If so，how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life？
Today I looked up the word"hero"in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant．It read"a person who does something brave"and also"a person who is good and noble"．
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave．So I thought about something very important．And I remembered what happened to me years ago．
After my marriage of twenty years ended，I was in such a condition．I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery．When I returned home，someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend．That wonderful card probably saved my life．That person，without even knowing it，saved a life and became a hero．
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy．In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero．I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages （孤儿院）．Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world．The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten．Hopefully，most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared．If it works，we will also become"heroes"．
21．The main idea of the passage isB．
A．why the writer should be a hero
B．what a hero exactly is
C．whether the writer is a hero
D．that everyone is a hero
22．Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call？C
A．Because he asked her son not to kill himself．
B．Because he saved a family from a burning car．
C．Because his story saved her son's life．
D．Because he was cute and kind to everybody．
23．What does the underlined word"it"in the last sentence of Paragraph 5refer to？C
A．The wonderful card the writer received．
B．The action of sending the card．
C．The fact that the sender helped the writer．
D．The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer．
24．According to the writer，who can be considered as a hero？B
A．A person who is brave
B．A person who helps someone in trouble
C．A person who can hold a door for others
