If you are a visitor,you may look for the post office in a foreign country.Can you imagine (想像)how those people will tell you the way?
In the countryside of American Middle West,people will tell you,‘Go north three  miles.Turn east,and then go another two miles.’
While in Los Angeles,California,the American people have no idea of the distance on the map.‘How far is the post office?’ you ask.‘oh,’ they answer,‘it is about ten minutes by taxi from here.’But in fact,they don't know how far it is.
In Greece(希臘),a Greek will often say,‘Follow me.’Then he'll go with you through the streets of the city to the post office.
In many places, people usually say ‘Sorry,I don't know’ when they can't tell you the way.However,in Mexico(墨西哥),the people think ‘I don't know’ is not polite(有禮貌的).They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.
So you must be careful of their habits (習(xí)慣) when you are asking the way in a foreign country.

In 2013, China chose “中國夢,”which means “Chinese dream,” as the Character of the Year to symbolize the overall feeling of the past 366 days. It’s easy to see why the word “dream” would be chosen as so many Chinese dreams have been recently realized: space exploration, a China-made aircraft carrier and a Nobel Prize-winning author.

Finishing national dreams makes us proud, but realizing personal dreams makes us worthy in our own eyes. Though the media would try to convince you, there is no set of “approved” dreams that we should all go after. Some may strive for money, fame and power, but others have more humble dreams that are just as important: learn English, study abroad, achieve inner peace, and be of service to humanity. It’s normal for people to create lofty New Year’s resolutions and just as normal to start strong and give up a few weeks later on our goals. How do we make sure that we achieve our dreams? Make your resolutions SMART and they’ll come true.
S — specific, detailed goals are easier to accomplish.
M— measurable goals enable you to complete a fixed amount of something.
A— achievable goals are possible, not ones that would take magic or miracles to accomplish.
R— relevant goals are meaningful to you.
T— time bound goals have an ending date. They’re not infinite. You know when you’re done.
Trip Bethel, a local college professor suggests that all goals should be positive and future-focused. “You can’t make a goal about being perfect. You’ll always disappoint yourself. But you can make a goal about perfecting your process. Then, you’re always on the way to a better life.”
Trip says many people write endless lists, but he just writes his resolutions once. He states them simply on a piece of paper and then puts the paper away for a year. “Often, when I look at the paper a year later, I’ve accomplished everything, or gotten close. There is something about writing things down that makes goals real and the opportunities to achieve them will come into your life.”
小題1:In 2013, China chose “__________” as the Character of the Year?
A.dreamB.smart
C.futureD.Chinese dream
小題2:What if you finish our national dreams? We will feel___________.
A.worriedB.proudC.worthyD.excited
小題3:What does “SMART” means? It means Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and ____.
A.TogetherB.TodayC.TimeD.Tomorrow
小題4:What is the best title for the passage?
A.Dreaming in 2013B.Dreaming Big in 2013
C.Dreaming Big in 2012D.Dreaming in 2012
