to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help
them succeed. 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, but she
drives without an aim around, never getting anywhere, 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 and ideals (理想)
really are.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve. Written goals can be
reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect (忽视)
or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously
alert (警觉) to situations that will further your goals.

C. the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out
D. the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
B. Only successful people can be happy.
C. If you want to succeed,you need toset long-term goals instead of short-term Goals.
D. When we put our goal down on papers,we are more likely to succeed.
B. How to succeed
C. Why we always fail
D. A research on setting goals
film star in China.
Wang is the youngest child of a poor family in Hebei province. Dreaming of becoming an actor, he left
home at the age of 8 to study kung fu at Shaolin Temple, since kung-fu actors seemed to appear most often
on the big screen.
At 14, he moved to Beijing for his acting career for the first time, with little money in his pocket. He
worked at a construction site (建筑工地) for 20 to 25 yuan per day, and spent his free time standing in front
of the Beijing Film Studio, eager to be chosen as temporary (临时的) actors. This was the most difficult time
for the boy. His opportunity finally came one day after he went for a role in the movie"Blind Shaft". He was
chosen to play a young coal miner. The movie won him three prizes in Thailand, France and Taiwan. But his
success didn"t make any difference to his life.
That year, he went home for the Spring Festival. He gave his family his earnings from the movie, around
US$250 and then returned to Beijing with 500 yuan, the same amount he had when he first set foot in the city.
His life was as simple as before.
Thanks to his natural performance in"Blind Shaft," he was invited by the famous director Feng Xiaogang
to act in the film"A World Without Thieves" in 2004, which made him famous immediately. People called him
"Shagen," the name of his character in the movie.
Wang"s latest work,"Soldiers" Sortie" has made him the most popular actor on the Chinese mainland. For
the actor, it"s a dream coming true.
"Dreams come true. I think my life is exactly a course of pursuing (追求) dreams. No matter how tough
one thing is, I can make it as long as I put great effort into it," he said.

D. To make money in support of his family.
B. Soldiers" Sortie.

my lawful (合法的)wife, and literature is my lover." Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great
playwright and one of the masters (大师) of the modern short story.
When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of
comic short stories to support his family. After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper.
As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less. Chekhov"s medical and
science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events.
In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories.
Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia. Tragic events control his characters
who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair.
It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov"s stories and plays. He made up for this with his exciting
technique for developing drama within his characters. Chekhov"s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity (敏感) of an artist.
Some of Chekhov"s works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s. One of his famous stories,
The Man in a Shell (《装在套子里的人》), about a school teacher"s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected
as a text for Chinese senior students.

his family in a house in Austin, Texas, which is now a museum. Visitors to Austin can see the house. It was
saved from destruction (破坏) and turned into a museum in1934. The museum is a good way to learn about
the interesting life of the American writer.
William Porter rented this house in Austin and lived there with his wife Athol and daughter Margaret for
about two years. Many objects in the museum belonged to the Porters. Others did not. An important piece in
the room is the original photograph over here. It was taken there in the house about 1895. The piano there goes
back to the 1860s. His wife took lessons on it when she first moved to Austin.
Porter did not start his career as a successful writer. He worked at a farm, land office and bank. He also
loved words and writing. The museum has a special proof (证明) of Porter"s love of language- his dictionary.
It is said that he had read every word in that dictionary.
Later William Porter was forced to leave Austin because he was charged (指控) with financial wrongdoing
at the bank and lost his job. Because he was afraid of a trail (审判), he left the country secretly. But he
returned because his wife was dying. After her death, he faced the trial and became a criminal. He served three
and a half years in a prison in Ohio.
William Porter would keep his time in prison a secret. But there was one good thing about it. It provided
him with time to write. By the time he was freed, he had published 14 stories and became well known as
O.Henry.

engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather.
To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn"t know how high she was flying. At night,
and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged (冲) into
the sea.
Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames (火焰) coming from the engine.
