阅读理解。     It might sound ridiculous (荒唐的) that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing
tasks and dreams you may have. While it is true that goals can help you sometimes, in some cases they
just lead to frustration(挫折) and they actually bring you down.
     Let"s look at this a little closer with an example. Many people jump online and are looking to start a
business online as a way to make money from home and let"s say they set a goal to make $10,000 in
their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little
time so they think $10,000 a month shouldn"t be too hard. But what happens when you only bring in
$1,000 in your first 30 days online?If this is pure profit(利润) you might still be happy, but this is
nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed
to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself.
     If you continue not to reach this goal month in month, it starts to add up and really weighs on you. I"m
not saying that you shouldn"t set goals, but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached
to your goals.
     An alternative approach would be to set certain goals when you want to accomplish things and start
out small. Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce then it will be a
nice surprise. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing every day you have to complete a
few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things.1. The purpose of the passage is to _________.A. show that it"s necessary to set goals.
B. prove the disadvantages of setting goals.
C. suggest a way of setting goals to reach success
D. introduce how to reach success by setting high goals.2. In Paragraph 2, the writer used the example to ________.A. persuade readers not to focus on making money only.
B. prove that goals often result in frustration.
C. show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams.
D. advise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration.3. According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is ________.A. important  
B. unnecessary  
C. ridiculous  
D. natural4. What information will probably be proved following the last paragraph?A. Benefits of setting small goals.        
B. Side effects of goal setting.
C. Success achieved without goal setting.  
D. One more useful suggestion for goal setting

     Most of us lead a busy life.   1   We think, "If I reached my goal, then I would be happy", or "If I
could get a better job, then I would enjoy life." But why not enjoy life right now?
     Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. _2_ "There is a great
big world of wonder and beauty around us!" And as Brodersen explains. "Look for the beauty of the
sunrise and of a friend"s smile that brightens your day.Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not
normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up."
     Secondly, taking time to experiencing some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease
your stress. Take me for example. _3_One universal simple pleasures is finding things that make you
laugh. Make time to laugh every day.
     Thirdly, don"t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the
enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? _4 _As Wayne
Lawton explains, "Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what"s in it for me? Happiness is
found in putting other"s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness
is a dead-end street." _5 _
A. I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.
B. In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.
C. Driven by the "urgent", we forget to enjoy life.
D. So please treasure relationship.
E. You don"t need to travel far to find beauty.
F. Be aware of beauty in nature.
G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.

     One of the main decisions you must make when traveling is deciding where to stay. A good place to
stay can often make a holiday. Whether you are looking for a classy hotel or a night under the stars, we
can guide you through your different options.
     Bed and Breakfast
     An English invention, bed and breakfasts offer exactly what they suggest, a bed for the night and
breakfast in the morning. People who hate the anonymity of hotels but want more luxury than a hostel
often choose to stay at bed and breakfasts. "B&B"s", usually someone"s private home, are often found
in the countryside.
     Hostels
     For those traveling on a tight budget, hostels are the best accommodation option. Informal places
usually with a friendly youthful vibe(氛围), they offer dormitory beds for rent. Bathrooms are usually
down the hall.
     Remember to check reviews by previous guests online before you book your hostel.
     Couch Surfing
     An unusual but interesting option, couch surfing is a growing trend among young internationals. The
idea is that you become a member of the online couch-surfing community (www. couchsurfing. com)
and then when you travel, look up other members in that country and ask to stay on their couch (沙发).
Most hosts will suggest sightseeing trips and take you out in the evening, making it a great way to see
things that aren"t in your guidebook. And remember, it may be free but don"t forget to offer to buy your
host a drink or dinner.
     Camping
     Sleeping under the stars! For budget travelers staying at camping grounds is the cheapest way to
travel. The drawback is that you have to carry a tent with you. Camping grounds can be found across
Europe, America and Australia. However, if you intend on camping in busy cities, check first where the
nearest campsite is. More often than not, they are on the outskirts, which can mean lengthy bus rides into
town when you want to eat or see the sights.
1. Hostels are popular among budget travelers because they provide  _____.
A. a friendly atmosphere   
B. dormitory beds for sale
C. reviews by previous guests  
D. beds and bathrooms as well
2. The advantage of couch surfing is that  _____.
  
A. you don"t have to pay any money
B. you can have a couch to sleep on
C. you can explore the nightlife there
D. the host will charge you for sightseeing
3. The disadvantage of camping is that you have to ______.  
A. sleep in the open air
B. take some extra articles
C. camp near big cities for safety
D. take a long distance bus to the campsites
4. You want a better but not too expensive place to stay, you may choose _____.  
A. Bed and Breakfast    
B. Hostels    
C. Couch Surfing  
D. Camping

     We should show respect to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us—in age,
 in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our     1     have done a lot for us, directly or 
indirectly and most of us     2     everything to their kindness and love.
     When we     3    them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or     4      them with a smile, or 
offering them any help they need, it is one way of     5     our own love and gratitude to them.     6    , 
elders have also been through all the years you are     7     and know a little more about the world than 
you do.        
     It is     8     that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger 
generations have always     9     with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 
   10    . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their     11    .       
     With changing times and    12    influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as 
disrespect to elders. Youngsters should     13     express their views and if there are arguments, they 
should not     14    their voices.
     If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately     15    their places, and sit on the
 carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are     16     to give up their places to older people. This is
 not a     17     of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to
 bear     18    , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older 
and perhaps at a     19     disadvantage.
     When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become     20     that youngsters care for
 them, and they respond with affection and kindness.
