The smart way to set goals

  Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’re determined to take action, take the following into account.

    71  For example, instead of setting a goal of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia, start your research, set a date and train yourself for climbing.

  M IS For MEASURABLE. Don’t aim to “become healthy” or “less stressed”.   72  For example, aim to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week, or to have no more than 200 grams of choclolate a week.

  A IS FOR ACHIEVABLE.   73  Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to aim for the stars—baby steps are good too!

  R IS FOR RELEVANT.   74  A few weeks down the track, the goals fail to inspire. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather, choose goals that really “speak” to you.

  T IS FOR TIME-CONSCIOUS. Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal.   75  You’ll also learn whether you need to work harder to make the deadline.

A. S IS FOR SPECIAL.

B. S IS FOR SPECIFIC.

C. That way, you will know when you’ve succeeded or failed.

D. To get excellent grades, be sure to take detailed steps for it.

E. Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong.

F. If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t aim to compete in the 2012 Olympics.

G. Instead, set a goal that can be measured while making an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan.

People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression.

When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who —

●you like, respect, and trust, and who likes, respects and trusts you

●doesn’t always understand you, but accepts and likes you as you are, even as you grow and change

●allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes

●listens to you and shares with you both the good times and the bad times

●respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything

●lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, teasing, or criticizing you

●accepts the limitations you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them

A person once said, “Friendship is a continuing source of bonding(连接), releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. There is an emotional bond between the two people.”

A good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. Friendships also have different depths. Some are closer to the heart and some more superficial, but they’re all useful and good.

63. Which of the following is NOT a function of a friend?

A. He brings you some happiness.       B. He helps you feel less lonely.

C. He helps you get over the difficulties.  D. He helps you cheat on the exam.

64. The underlined word “superficial” means _______.

A. deep      B. hard     C. shallow   D. close

65. Which is the best title for the passage?

A.A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed     B. What Kind of Person A Friend Should Be

C. To Be A Good Friend                 D. How to Get on with Your Friend

                             

If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends — let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.

Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

The most important thing to do when you are lost is — stay in one place.

59. How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun?

A. Stop now and then.                                

B. Go on shouting or whistling.

C. Shout over and over at the top of voice

D. Shout or whistle three times once a while.

60. If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then?

A. Give two gunshots.   B. Shout louder.

C. Stop shouting.          D. Make a house.

61. If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do?

A. Go and find a brook.

B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea.

C. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you.

D. Find something to hold the water.

Have you ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back? From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is one’s mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country.

Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken.

However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him.

56. According to some advertisements, you ______.

A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks

B. needn’t pay you money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks

C. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks

D. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks

57. Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to ______.

A. read the literature of the country         B. read books and reports

C. do their work better                   D. go to foreign countries

58. Learning a foreign language is a hard job ______.

A. only for scientists and doctors          B. only for the students at school

C. for those people at home              D. for most people

 When I woke next morning, I was dying of _36__. I seemed to have a hole instead of a _37__.  I dressed quickly and hurried down to the dinning-room. It was a big room with six tall windows and the ugliest wallpaper I had ever seen! _38_, I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better __39__ there than in any other hotel; and that was _40__ I wanted just then.

   The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared __41__ carefully for what I must __42_. I had looked three times in my dictionary to make sure __43__ “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right _44_ and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached.

   The waiter asked me _45__ I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at me in a _46 way. so I repeated it. Still he did not understand. It was _47_ that English people didn’t understand their language.. The waiter _48__ his head and went away, but he came back in a minute and brought a tray with tea, bread and butter--- enough to feed a small army--- and went away. But I was hungry, and I left __49__. When the waiter came back I thought his face showed a little __50__, but you can never __51_. What a waiter’s face really shows. In another minute he brought _52__ tray with some bacon(熏肉) and some eggs. He _53_ have misunderstood me, but I thought it was no use explaining to people who don’t understand their own language, so I just set to work on the bacon and eggs, wondering whether I could possibly clear that plate.

   Well, I finished the bacon and eggs. I got up and made my way slowly to my room- at least five pound __54_. I never believed until then that any meal could _55__ me, but on that day I met my Waterloo(滑铁卢).
