【题目】B

This afternoon, when I was looking for a self-improvement(自我修养) book, I found an aged folder(文件夹). In this folder, there were some of the examination papers I’d taken during my pre-university days. They were on economics(经济学), a subject that I didn’t really like much then.

I laughed at the silly mistakes I made as I looked through the papers. And memories of the past came to my mind. I saw myself sitting at one of the study tables, working hard for some of my life goals. Back then, it was popular for most students to set life goals, because they thought it was most important.

It was during those times that I first started to set goals for myself. I didn’t know much about goal setting then. I didn’t use any goal tracking(跟踪) tools, either. All I knew was that I had to go to university. There was no other way that I could give myself. To go through my lecture(演讲) notes, I didn’t take breaks. For more revision with my classmates, I stayed back late. One time, I missed the school lock-out hours and I had to climb school gates in order to leave. It was perhaps this attitude(态度) that ignited my decision to go through what I had to do to get this far.

Yes, it may have been hard. But the sweet taste of victory experienced at the point of receiving my final results was so wonderful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life.

I closed the folder and dropped it into the dustbin(垃圾箱) in the room. It’s time to get kicking with my next goal. And by writing this, I know I’m getting closer.

【题目】C

So many of us expect everything we do to be successful. We look forward to success to show us our value or to be the top of the group wherever we are. How many times in our schooling did we hope for a high mark? We want it and then feel like a failure when we don’t achieve what we want. Even when we succeed we still pass that and go onto the next success and then the next. We are not often taught how to face failures.

For me, failure taught me more than success did. Success is of the moment and temporary(暂时的) but failure means we have ever done. It makes me stop and think. It opened my eyes and brain to different possibilities. Failure is just a choice in redoing not in giving up. Experiencing failure，I looked deeper and further.

I have a grandson who plays hockey(曲棍球) and as all players do, he went through a slump. So I saw he was unhappy with himself. Then I said to him, ＂Why don’t you think of it differently rather than being unhappy?＂ And I asked, ＂Scoring is your goal, right?＂ He answered, ＂Of course.＂ ＂Why aren’t you scoring now? Do you need a readjustment(重新调整)?＂All of a sudden he calmed down — he was thinking of what I had just said. So in the next game I saw him trying different things to do better. Later he started scoring. Now when something is wrong, he takes the time to think it over rather than just keeping the ＂failure＂ mode(方式).

Look at failure differently. Failure is what gives us power to try a different way of doing things.

It teaches us to rethink, redo, and then success will come about. Don’t give up but learn to use a different way.

Five Facts about Goal Setting

These practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals:

1 When it comes to making a change, the people who succeed are those who set goals possible to achieve. ＂I’m going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cants, and magazines＂ is a much more doable goal than ＂ I’m going to do more for the environment.＂ And that makes it easier to stick with.

2 It will probably take a couple of months before any changes — like getting up half an hour earlier to exercise — become a routine(日常的) part of your life. That’s because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you’re doing is part of your regular routine.

3 Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you’re working for. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you’re training your brain to make it happen.

4 The key to making any change is to find the strong wish within yourself —you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to. It will be harder to stay on track and encouraged if you’re doing something out of duty to another person.

5 Mistakes are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It may take a few tries to reach a goal. But that’s OK — it’s a normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change. So remember that everyone makes mistakes and don’t beat yourself up about it. Just remind yourself to get back on track.
