4、Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to 1   your life happen．

Successful and happy people have a vision of  2  their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them  3  their vision．By setting goals you are controlling your life．It’s   4  having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this  5 ．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which is  6 for her on a map．She can drive straight there  7  any wasted time or wrong turns． 8  driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place  9  the first driver, but she drives  10  around, never getting anywhere,  11  using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and  12  on them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen  13 ．Goals aren’t difficult to set,  14  they aren’t difficult to reach．It’s  15   you to find out what your goals, ideals and vision really are．You are the one who  16   decide what to  17  and in what direction to aim your life．

Research tells us when we write a goal down we are   18  to achieve it．Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power．Like a contract with yourself,  19  are harder to neglect or forget．

Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations  20  will further your goals．

3、Dear Boris,

Thanks for your nice letter． After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English　a little better．It’s very different from what I learned at school! Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects （方言） are different too! Some of their accents （口音） are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions．

But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising．Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day．That’s quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical （典型的） English food．

I had expected to see “London fog”．Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this ‘thick fog’ disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes．But the idea to speak about the weather was very helpful．The weather in London is really changeable．

On the other hand habits are different．People tell me what is typically British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland．Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew．

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions．Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries．And people have always been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside．

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters．

Love from Britain,

Pete

Ａ．At first it was difficult for him to understand people．

B．He can understand different dialects and accents．

Ｃ．He can speak English better than others．

D．People can’t understand his English．

2．Typical English food _______．

A．makes people mad                           B．can’t be seen now

C．is always fish and chips                          D．is not what he knew

3．The British people like to talk about weather because ________．

A．there is thick fog in London              B．they like the weather in Britain

C．the weather changes a lot        　      D．it can be helpful

2、I’m confused these days．We are taught at home and at school that using violence （暴力） is the least civilized （文明的） way to solve problems．For example, last week I thought about hitting my friend for winning a beautiful shell while we were playing at the beach．I talked with him instead and we came to an agreement．If two adults had a disagreement, and if they used violence towards each other in order to win, is it all right?

When two countries disagree, they often fight a war．Why is using violence not okay at home, at school, or in your country but okay between countries? So many people have been killed because of wars, not only soldiers but ordinary people, even small children and babies．And refugees （难民） exist, too．

A war is a great violence, like two people fighting over a shell, just much bigger．Adults say they are fighting wars in order to solve problems and make peace．But can you really “make peace” by killing so many people? I don’t think bombs （炸弹） can reach people’s hearts and change them．Bombs can’t create love and caring, and that’s what we need in the world．Why do adults use violence so quickly? Why can’t they use their wisdom （智慧） and talk it over?

Adults might say that things are not that easy．But they are the ones that teach us to be kind, not to hurt people, and not to kill．Why don’t they act as what they say?
