   Generally, we prefer to do things the way we considered to be the best. However, it is important to listen to those who love us and want to give us an advice when we have serious problems in our lives. Parents have gained some life experiences and they know what to act in different situations. That’s why we should ask them for help first when they have problems. Therefore, there are moments when we avoid them and don’t want to follow them. With time passed by, my brother as well as I have realized that our parents are right. Please turn for your parents when in trouble, for they worth trusting and ready to offer help all the time.

Why is setting goals important?___56__ Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

   Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. ___57___ It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found in 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 aimlessly around. Never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

   __58__ They 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. __59___ You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

___60____ Written goals can ba reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situationa that will bring you nearer to your goal.

A.  Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.

B.  Winners in life set goals and follow through.

C.  It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are.

D. It’s difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map.

E.  Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life.

F.  By setting goals you are taking control of your life.

G.  Because everybody should have a goal in his mind.

　　　 Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in the moon. The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon. They called it “Monday”, or “Monday”, as we know it today. Later, the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon. Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honour to the home where it was born.

　　　 Four and a half centuries later, Leonardo’s idea was realized. Apollo Ⅱ took three Americans Collins, Aldrin, and Armstrong to the moon. The mission (任務(wù)) did fill the whole world with great surprise, as Leonardo had said it would. Numerous (many) essays, articles, and books were written about man’s first moon mission. But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event over 100 years before.

　　　 In 1865, French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon. His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo Ⅱ mission.

　　　 Verne’s spacecraft also contained three men—two Americans and a Frenchman. The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo Ⅱ. The launch (發(fā)射) site in Verne’s story was also in Florida. The spacecraft in Verne’s story was named the “Columbiad”. The Apollo Ⅱ command ship was called “Columbia”. His account description of sending the spacecraft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo Ⅱ was sent into the space.

　　　 Verne’s story was the same as the actual event in several other respects (方面). The speed of Verne’s spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second; Apollo’s was 35,533 feet per second. Verne’s spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon; Apollo’s time was 103 hours. Like Apollo’s spacemen, Verne’s spacemen took pictures of the moon’s surface, relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas, and experienced weightlessness. They too came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.

　　　 What were the reasons for Jules Verne’s extreme accuracy (精確) in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred? He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy. Nineteenth-century science and the vivid (clear) Verne’s imagination gave people an unbelievably accurate (exact) prediction of one of the greatest events of the 20^th century.

52．Jules Verne wrote his story of a man’s visit to the moon about _________.

A. 100 years before the Apollo Ⅱ mission

B. 10 years before the Apollo Ⅱ mission

C. four and one half centuries ago

D. 100 years ago

53．Verne’s story about the first journey to the moon is very similar to _________.

A. the second US space mission B. the Apollo Ⅱ mission

C. Leonardo da Vinci’s story D. numerous other books on the same subject

54．The passage suggests that Jules Verne _________.

A. developed the laws of physics

B. based his writings on the works of Leonardo da Vinci

C. was very lucky in what he had described about the future

D. knew a great deal about the laws of physics and astronomy

55．The passage mainly describes _________.

A. the rapid progress of mankind

B. Verne’s accurate prediction of the future

C. the 1969 Apollo Ⅱ moon mission

D. the 19th century science and technology

　　　 One day an American friend invited me to a party. It wasn’t a real party, it was some kind of informal get-together. Since it was summer time, he had a cookout where most of his American friends and relatives were known to me, but there were others I had never met before.

　　　 It was the most embarrassing (令人尷尬) party for me when I noticed that everybody was wearing jeans and simple T-shirts for the day, while I arrived in proper dress with my shoes and my hair all fixed for a fancy party. It was hard to explain my embarrassment to other guests. When one of them turned around and said, “What nice clothes! What’s the occasion?” I felt my face burning hot with embarrassment. I did not answer at all. If she knew how bad I already felt, she wouldn’t have come near me. But she did. Maybe she didn’t ask intentionally to make me feel bad or uncomfortable, but my reaction had to do with the way I already felt. I could have told her I had to go to another party afterwards, but I did not want to continue the conversation.

　　　 Many times I thought about going home and changing, but I knew that they would notice. It would be even worse for me, because I knew they would quickly think that I felt out of place. So I wanted to pretend that I was okay…

　　　 I had already realized their customs were different from mine; but after I talked to my friend, I was more convinced that people here are more casual (休閑的，隨意的). They care less about formality, unless it is a special occasion, like a wedding or a very formal invitation.

　　　 In contrast, my culture is totally the opposite. For instance, in Cape Verdean culture, if a friend invited me to his house on a special day, even if it is not a real party, one should appear well dressed or otherwise the host will be annoyed thinking you are disrespectful to him or the other guests. We do dress casually for going on picnic or on ordinary days, but not normally to go over to a friend’s when invited, especially if other people will be there.

　　　 After all, I think that my problem at the party wasn’t that I wasn’t accepted by the Americans; but my feeling was so bad that I couldn’t fit in the group even if nobody noticed, because I was the one who discovered the difference in the first place. It doesn’t matter if people dress differently, but I was the only one different in the group. I felt I was the one who should adjust to their customs. After that, I decided to learn more about American culture, so now I don’t have as many problems as I’ve had in the past.

49．This story is mainly about _________.

A. culture differences

A. left the cookout early

B. probably didn’t enjoy the cookout

C. never wears blue jeans

D. will never go to a cookout
