There are three kinds of goals: short-term, intermediate and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with present activities. Such goals can be achieved in a week or two, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation (基础), our long-term goals cannot be achieved without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the time and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school years, or they could extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you never allow yourself to become discouraged. As you complete each step, you will have more belief in your ability to grow and succeed.
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静态的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
小题1: The long-term goals mean______.
A.something static and easy to get if we complete our short-term goals
B.something easy to reach if we complete a short-term goal in time
C.nothing but our dreams of future
D.a lot, such as a dream, and aspiration (热望) or a wish in our life
小题2:When we complete each step of our goals, ______.
A.we will win final successB.we become down-hearted
C.we should encourage ourselvesD.we should think about changing our goals
小题3: It is the most important for us students to have ___________ first.
A.long-term goalsB.intermediate goals

举一反三
Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there"s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job"s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating(使孤立)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don"t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you"ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won"t know immediately to a smaller setting where you"ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I"ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
小题1:What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
A.Assessing your skillsB.Going to different areas
C.Matching your skills with a positionD.taking your personality into consideration
小题2: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.B.Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C.Extreme people tend to work with others.D.Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
小题3:What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A.Design.B.Changes.C.Cooperation.D.Hobbies.

小题4:What is the best title for this passage?
A.Lifestyles and Job PayB.Jobs and Environment
C.Job Skills and AbilitiesD.Personalities and Jobs

Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(抽奖). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic (策略). Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an as saying, “During Government Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net (净余的) gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (丘疹).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
小题1: Which statement is true according to the article?
A.Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
B.The truth can be used in dishonest ways
C.All governors help their states.
D.You can’t trust gamblers (赌博的人)
小题2:The author clearly wants people to           .
A.vote for female candidates
B.know that lies are lies
C.never trust anyone
D.think carefully about what they read and hear
小题3:Which of the following would be the best title?
A.Lying With the TruthB.Everyone Lies
C.Yucky CorporationD.Nose Pimples

No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can be pleased with the fact that the number of such is relatively small.
It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity (一致性) in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.
What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read. They are enduring best sellers. Gone with the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the continuously unsolved problems of human life. There are mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries only honestly. Wisdom is encouraged, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
小题1:Which is not the criterion in the following when considering a great book?
A.Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read.
B.A great book can be read without any effort.
C.Great books are never out of date.
D.Great books will not disappoint you if you try to read them well.
小题2:According to the author, Gone with the Wind is     .
A.a best sellerB.disliked by readers who like Shakespeare
C.read more often than Don QuixoteD.a great book
小题3:In the passage the underlined word “pedantic” means        
A.showing the feelings, esp., those of kindness, which people are supposed to have
B.serving as practical examples
C.being elementary
D.paying too much attention to details in books
小题4:The best title for this passage is        .
A.Great Books in Your LifeB.Great Books in Your Specialty
C.How to Find a Great Book?D.What Is a Great Book?

Drinking Water: Bottled or From the Tap(水龙头)?
In America, people will include a case or two of bottled water when buying the week"s groceries(日用杂货).When they are going to a soccer game or activity, it"s common for them to grab a cold bottle of water out of the fridge with them.In fact, Americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, about 29 billion bottles a year.
But all these plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment.In order to make all the 29 billion bottles, producers use 17 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough to keep a million cars going for 12 months.
So why don"t people drink water straight from the tap? Some people have a strong belief that bottled water is better than water out of the tap, but that"s not necessarily true.In the US, the local governments make sure water from the tap is safe.There is also growing concern that chemicals in the bottles themselves may go into the water.
People love the convenience of bottled water.But maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a reusable steel container instead of plastic.
Some argue that plastic bottle recycling can help.Recycled bottles can be turned into items like carpeting or clothing.Unfortunately, only one in six bottles is recycled.The rest make it to landfills(垃圾填坦场) or end as trash in other places.Plastic bottles take hundreds of years for them to disintegrate.
Water is important for you, so keep drinking it.But think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change.
And yes, you can make a difference.Remember this: Recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours.
小题1:How many cars can be kept going for a year by the crude oil used to make 29 billion bottles?
A.100. B.I,000.C.100,000.D.I,000,000.
小题2:Why do Americans prefer bottled water?
A.Bottled water is better than water from the tap.
B.Bottled water is cheaper than water from the tap.
C.Bottled water contains beneficial chemicals in it.
D.Bottled water is more convenient than water from the tap.
小题3:What does the underlined word "disintegrate" in the fifth paragraph probably mean^
A.Be well recycled.B.Become less poisonous.
C.Break into small pieces.D.Go down below a surface.
小题4:The author"s intention of writing this passage is to recommend Americans
A.drink more water from the tap
B.send plastic bottles to landfills.
C.use water bottles to power light bulbs
D.buy bottles filled with water from the tap
