Question

There’s a science to setting goals．Below，we share some research-backed tips to help you carry out successful goals．

Choose a goal that matters，not just easy win．

A meaningful goal—1.that truly inspires you to change—requires going deeper．Think about what you want in the coming year, then ask yourself 2. you want that．For example，if you walk to quit 3.(smoke), ask why do you want to quit? Then, if you want to quit for your health ask why do you want good health? Then，if your answer is to be alive long enough 4. (meet)your grandchildren，ask why do you want to meet your grandchildren?

Set up your goals positively．

How you describe your goal makes 5. big difference．Focusing on 6.you want to“bring into your life —not what you want to avoid—wi11 make you more likely to 7. (actual)pursue it.

Prepare for failure(in a good way)．

Moments of failure 8.(be)unavoidable，but most of us abandon the goal entirely when slight failures and setbacks start piling up．At the moment when you fail，often the first instinct(本能)is to push the goal away. It's so9.(comfort)to be in that condition of self-doubt or self-criticism and guilt．

Your task is not to avoid failures，10. to plan for them．Ask yourself, how am I likely to fail? For example，if you’re likely to choose unhealthy meals when you’re hungry, carry a light snack with you．

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要介紹了如何去建立一個(gè)目標(biāo)，從三個(gè)方面進(jìn)行了介紹：目標(biāo)是重要卻不能輕易完成的事；積極樹立目標(biāo)；有失敗的準(zhǔn)備。

1. meaningful goal— that truly inspires you to change—requires going deeper此句中正真的主語為goal，謂語動(dòng)詞為require，中間部分作goal的同位語，所以需填代詞，而A meaningful goal為泛指，所以用one。故填one

2. you walk to quit (smoke), ask why do you want to quit?可知當(dāng)你打算戒煙的話，就需要問自己為何想要戒，由此可知如果想要什么目標(biāo)就必須問問自己為什么。故填why

3. doing；意為停止做什么，所以用smoke的現(xiàn)在分詞形式。故填smoking

4. meet�？疾閑nough的用法。當(dāng)enough和形容詞或名詞連用后接動(dòng)詞時(shí)，動(dòng)詞形式常用不定式，來表示目的，your answer is to be alive long enough (meet)your grandchildren這句話理解為如果你想長壽到能夠遇見孫子。故填to meet

5. a difference：有影響。How you describe your goal makes big difference這句話意為你怎么描述你的目標(biāo)產(chǎn)生的巨大影響。

6. on you want to“bring into your life 這句話中on的后面缺少賓語，bring sth into：將..引進(jìn)..，所以bring后面也缺少賓語，故這個(gè)空充當(dāng)了兩種成分，而what可以充當(dāng)兩種成分，此處意為什么事物。故填what

7. you more likely to (actual)pursue it.中actual的形式修飾動(dòng)詞pursue，只有副詞可以修飾動(dòng)詞，故用其副詞形式。故填actually

8. of failure (be)unavoidable意為失敗的時(shí)刻是不可避免的，主語是moments，為可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式，且時(shí)態(tài)為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。故填are。

9. so (comfort)to be in that condition of self-doubt or self-criticism and guilt.這個(gè)句子里由后面的自我懷疑或者自我批評和愧疚這個(gè)感覺可知是令人不舒服的，故用comfortable的反義詞。故填uncomfortable

10. yourself, how am I likely to fail？可知問自己我怎么可能失敗，由此可推知任務(wù)不是避免失敗，而是去面對并解決他們，not..but..不是..而是..。故填but

考點(diǎn)：考查短文理解及語法知識(shí)
