Question

【题目】 The following are some important reasons why you need to set goals for yourself.

【1】 Having a goal written down with a set date for accomplishment(完成)gives you something to plan and work for.

【2】 Most of us have big dreams that seem impossible to accomplish. It's easy to feel disappointed when you're staring at a difficult task. Proper goal setting can help break larger aspirations(愿望)into smaller and more achievable stepping stones.

【3】 Sometimes, looking back on a goal you set for yourself six months, or one year ago, you realize that you were supposed to accomplish a lot more than you actually did. It's a sign that whatever you're doing isn't working. So you need to make real changes if you want to get where you want to be.

【4】 There are times when we set goals that don't really show what we want. Sometimes we think we need more money, when we really need a change of environment. By asking ourselves what we really want and continually reconsidering our goals, we can find out what we really want in life.

【5】 Imagine you're on vacation. Wouldn't you want to find out exactly what you want to see with the limited(有限的)time? In many ways, life is like a vacation. We're given a limited amount of time to pursue the experiences we want and then before you know it, it's time to go. Without a clear sense of what you want to do you'll never be able to live life to the fullest.

A. Goals move you forward.

B. Goals help you live life to the fullest.

C. Goals help you make more money.

D. Goals hold you accountable (对……负责) for failure.

E. Goals tell you what you truly want.

F. Goals help to turn difficult tasks into easy ones.
