Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through 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 by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they 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 that will further your goals.

As a professor at a large American university,there is a phrase that I hear often from students:“I’m only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT),which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice,or even if they have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score,whether it is 800,1100 or 1550,has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores,then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score,they think,will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a prestigious university,they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s,the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly,it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators-like a student’s high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence,efforts and willpower,and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways,and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However,it should be only one of many methods used.

In most of the time, I am devoted to my research in the lab with my friend Dave, who loves traveling very much. To make our life colorful and relax ourselves, in July, my friend and I are taking a camping trip. We will travel for four weeks and will tour the United States and part of Canada. We have decided to camp because it does not cost as much as vacationing (度假) in hotels.
We have to plan very carefully in advance. First, the car we are going to drive is very small, so we have decided to take only one small suitcase each and as few camping things as possible. We will take some medicine with us to prevent insects (昆虫) from hurting us, and also food for picnics. Second, there is a lot to see in the United States and Canada, so we have to decide on the direction (方向) we want to drive.
The date we are leaving is July 2, from which day we will have two months off.  We want to see and do many things on our camping tour. We want to climb in the mountains, visit famous caves, and swim in cool mountain rivers. We want to visit many cities and talk to many people, which I am sure can enrich our experience greatly. We also want to find a hotel room if it rains at night. We expect to have an exciting trip.

No one would be willing to pay one-third of the price for the packaging or wrapping of what he or she purchases. But over-packaging has become a disease that leads to an 1 waste of resources and 2 environmental pollution.
The wasted packaging materials are 3 to be worth about 280 billion yuan annually. And such packages and wrappings thrown away by customers 4 up half of the volume of solid waste in cities. 5, it is high time that regulations were 6 to stop enterprises from spending too much on unnecessary packaging and wrapping.
To produce paper packaging or wrapping, many more trees have to be cut down. Over-packaging also limits the interest of consumers when they have to spend quite a high percentage on something that they will have to throw into the dustbin. The simple truth is that the more a producer spends on packaging, the 7 the products it sells will be.
Product packaging and wrapping used to be very simple 30 years ago. "Shabby" was the word many had used to 8 the way Chinese products were packaged. And shabby packaging was blamed for making Chinese products 9 in the international market.
It is 10 to pay enough attention to packaging or wrapping products in such a manner that they can be 11 to customers' eyes. But that does not definitely justify that packaging should even outshine what is inside.
In the Chinese proverb, “maidu huanzhu,” the buyer returns the pearl and just keeps the case because the 12 is too fancy and luxurious. It not only laughs at the poor 13 of the buyer, but also criticizes the unnecessary 14 the seller has made in making the case. Another message from the proverb is that over-packaging helps cultivate an 15 consuming attitude - to buy fancy-looking stuff but not what they really need.

In South Korea, a robot made its teaching debut. Children could 1 take their eyes off a new teacher when the instructor 2 their classroom. 3 with intense curiosity by the pupils, 4 said, “How are you, my students? Let’s get 5. Have you opened your books?”
Although the voice 6 like human, the teacher was not. It was a robot 7 Tiro, 8 was recently invited for one day 9 a human instructor with 10 30-minute English class at Euon Primary School in the central South Korean city of Daejon, 250 kilometres 11 of Seoul.

Tiro, which was connected to a computer, sometimes fell into an 17 moment of silence when something went wrong with the computer.
Still, the Tiro-run class was too short to 18 the children. “I hope every class will have such a 19 teacher,” ten-year-old Baek Ji Woong said.
The regular teacher was also happy with her new 20. “I believe that robotic teachers like Tiro are going to be helpful for teachers and students alike,”Jeon Myong Jin said.

If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the3how to look on the positive side of the situation.Seeing this style really made me4, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t5.You can' t be positive all the time.How do you do it?"
Michael replied, each morning I 6and say to myself 'Mike, you have two 7today.You can choose to be in a8mood or be in a bad mood.' I9to be in a good mood.Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a10or choose to learn from it.I choose to learn from it."
"Yeah, right.It isn't that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said."Life is all about choices.You choose how you react 11situations and how people will affect your mood.You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.The bottom line is: It's your choice12you live life."
Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious13, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.After 18 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive14, Michael recovered.When I asked him what had15his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied."Then, as I16on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to17.I chose to live."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also18his amazing attitude.

My wife and I bought a secondhand car for our tour. During our two months on the road, Lucy and I had a really1experience with a good, honest garage and some helpful 2 .
We were driving west on Highway 101 when our "check engine" light came on. We limped of (拐入) a (n )3into Las Cruces. We had a real car4. Lucy pulled the car into a local garage. By this time the car was5so badly that it was shaking all over. This was the 6 time to arrive at a garage--late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Olivia was busy7paper work and customers as we explained our problems.8there were already “ten cars behind”, he told us to9the car into the garage.
Evelyn, who we later10was one of the top motor technicians, took11of our car repairing. He and Olivia and some other repairmen stayed several hours after closing,12the car.
Early the next morning (the shop was13closed on Saturdays) , Evelyn finally located the problem and fixed it easily within only 14 .
Later Olivia pointed out to us that it was our15that helped. " You didn't come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an 16of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer's attitude 17a lot. He was right in some way, customers should show politeness and understanding to people who 18them. Even if people were extremely busy, they found way to19try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that20for other people can always help.

I was in a crowded local in Mumbai. I was lucky to find a seat as I had got in at the first station. Soon, the seats were all1,and most people had to stand.
In the middle of all this, I saw a girl about2years old. It was3that she was used to the crowd and the pushing, because she would silently change4to be just a little bit more comfortable. I felt a little sad sitting there5her standing nearby.
It struck me that this is the time to6an act of kindness. However, I had to overcome some internal barriers before I7an act of kindness. “World I look foolish trying to help her?” I wondered. Them I thought. “Maybe this sort of thing is quite common, and8would think the worse of me if I did not do anything.” I felt a little shy just9. But I told myself “Well,10you think about it, go the whole way.” So I asked her if she wanted to sit on my11for the rest of the train ride.12I was a little hesitant while offering it to her, the surprised and32 look on her face was enough to13al1 my doubts. And then, I began to think—“Why hadn’t I offered it to her even14?” “What was stopping me?” A complete about-face came from my previous thoughts.
15, the gift of gratitude she had given me was far more that the ‘scat’ I had offered her! It was16to say who was doing the giving. She was so considerate as she sat at the sat at the very edge of my knee,17half her weight so as not to make my legs hurt. I told her that she could sit comfortably, and I wouldn’t18. I got one more pure expression of19! And luckily, I was in the window seat, so the little grill had fun20the sights form the window! This simple give and take made the day beautiful!

One day a very wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of 1would be considered a very poor family. On their 2from their trip, the father asked his son, “ How was the trip?”
“It was 3, Dad .”
“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah?” said the son.
“So what did you 4from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that 5to the middle of our garden and they have a creek (小溪) that has 6end. We have lanterns in our garden and they have the 7at night. We have a 8piece of land to live on and they have fields that go 9our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve 10. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have 11around our property(财产) to protect us but they have friends to protect them.”
With this the boy’s father was 12.
Then his son 13, “Dad, thank you for showing me how 14we are.”
Too many times we 15what we have and concentrate on what we don’t have. What is one person’s 16object is another’s prize possession. It’s all 17on one’s perspective (视角). Think about what would happen if we all gave 18for what we have, 19worrying about what we don’t have.
Be thankful for every single thing in your life, exactly as it is now–and 20your friends. Be sure to take the time to express your appreciation and gratitude for the people whom you are close to.
