     Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen
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 (忽視)
or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously
alert (警覺(jué)) to situations that will further your goals.
1. The writer gave the example of two drivers to show _____.
A. how stupid the first driver was
B. the importance of having a map and right direction
C. how stupid the second driver was
D. the importance of setting goals
2. According to the passage,successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because _________.
A. the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B. the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves
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
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Goals can make you gain everything you want in life.
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.
4. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Goals help you succeed
B. How to succeed
C. Why we always fail
D. A research on setting goals

     It was the summer of 1965. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca about
his plan for the future. "I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," Deluca recalls saying. Buck said,
"you should open a sandwich shop."
     That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After doing
some research, Buck wrote a check for $ 1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut, and when
they couldn't cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
     But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, "After six months, we were doing poorly,
but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls." All he and Buck knew was that
their sales were lower than their costs.
     Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at
his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping
the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public, We are so successful, we are opening a second store.'" And they did-in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot
of learning by trial and error (反復(fù)摸索).
     But the partners' learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, Deluca
would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. "It probably took me two and a half
hours and it wasn't necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal
relationships established really helped out," Deluca says.
     And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just have
to keep working toward your goal," Deluca adds.
     Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimillion-dollar restaurant chain.
1. Deluca opened the first sandwich shop in order to _____.
A. support his family
B. pay for his college education
C. help his partner expand business
D. do some research
2. Which of the following is true of Buck?
A. He put money into the sandwich business.
B. He was a professor of business administration.
C. He was studying at the University of Bridgeport.
D. He rented a storefront for Deluca.
3. What can we learn about their first shop?
A. It stood at an unfavorable place.
B. It lowered the prices to promote sales.
C. It made no profits due to poor management.
D. It lacked control over the quality of sandwich.
4. They decided to open a second store because they _____.
A. had enough money to do it
B. had succeeded in their business
C. wished to meet the increasing demand of customers
D. wanted to make believe that they were successful

played football as a teenager for Oxford United Football Club's youth side and was spotted by a scout (球

     Kobe Bryant was born with basketball already in his blood. His dad was a former NBA star. When Kobe was

     The family moved back to the United States when Kobe was 13 and he started playing high school basketball.
