“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some idea of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.
Try to set goals in some of the following categories.
Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high-school? Are you still growing and learning?
Family—What kind of relationship（關(guān)系）do you want with your parents and other family members?
Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?
Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?
Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?
Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?
Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?
Write down the goals and think about them carefully. Are they realistic? When will you be able to achieve them?
To help make the process (過程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.
Remember, your goals can change as time goes on. But be sure your goals are things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.
小題1:Is life a long journey according to the passage?
小題2: Why do you need to set your life goal?
小題3:What should you consider when you set a family goal?
小題4:How can we achieve the main goal easily?
小題5:What does the writer want to tell us?

小題1:Yes.
小題2:To give my life a sense of direction.
小題3:The relationship with my parents and other family members.
小題4:Divide the main goal into small tasks.
小題5:Why and how to set personal goals.

小題1:從文章的句子：“Life’s a long, long journey(旅程)”可知答案是：Yes.
小題2:從文章的句子：Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction.可知答案是：To give my life a sense of direction.
小題3:從文章的句子：Family—What kind of relationship（關(guān)系）do you want with your parents and other family members?可知答案是：The relationship with my parents and other family members.
小題4:從文章的句子：To help make the process (過程) more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks.可知答案是：Divide the main goal into small tasks.
小題5:從文章的前兩段，可知是為什么要設(shè)立目標，后幾段是如何設(shè)立目標，答案是：Why and how to set personal goals.

Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. They are very popular all over China.
These talent shows give everyone an opportunity to show off their talents. For some lucky people, these talent shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate(模仿) their favorite stars. They may forget about their own styles. Second, young people spend too much time on such TV shows. They always dream of being a star. So they spend less time on their studies.
In my opinion, these shows are social(社會的) activities. Young people can take part in these activities to get social experience. But they should know that the chance of becoming famous is very small for most people. They should know that they should work hard at something more important, their school work. In short, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not.

Many people would like to watch sport matches. First, you need to know about audience manners.
Most sporting arenas(競技場) have rules for audience written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and don’t leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottle and other rubbish.
During exciting games, try to control yourself. Don’t criticize(批評)the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience
Applause（鼓掌）is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players, but you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but don’t go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly. If someone fails, your applause will help encourage them.
Applause is not welcome, however, while players need to keep their concentration. Various sports have various rules for the audience.
Enjoy artistic gymnastics silently. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Snooker and table tennis courtside behavior includes a ban on flash photography. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.
To be good audience, you should spend time learning the specific(明確的) rules and the culture of each event.
