文章就如何设定和管理目标提出了几点建议。
1. D。
由全文可知本文即涉及到目标的设定，也涉及到目标的管理，故选D。
【易错点拨】本题的干扰选项是E，但E选项只涉及到目标的设定，不能涵盖文章全部内容。

由本段的小标题和下句内容可知，此处要说明实现大目标的困难，为后面把大目标化为小目标提供原因，故选B。
3. G。
本选项与前一句构成因果关系，为下文做好铺垫，下文中的“this”就指代选项所提到的情形，故选G。
4. C。
由下文中的内容可知此选项与前一句相对，说明应该花点时间来认识到自己所取得的成就，与本段的小标题相对应，故选C。
【易错点拨】本题的干扰选项是F，但F选项所说明的内容不能与前文构成因果关系。
5. A。
本段主要说明了要允许自己更换目标，故选A。
【易错点拨】本题的干扰选项是C，尽管本段出现了“achievements”一词，但本段主要说明的是要允许自己更换目标。
The original passage:Why You Should Learn How to Set and Manage GoalsHow to make goals less overwhelming and more attainableSetting and managing goals is very important for people with and without PTSD. Goals can give your life purpose and direction as well as motivate healthy behaviors focused on improving your life.However, goals can also be very overwhelming and a source of stress, especially if you are struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder or some other mental health disorder. Sometimes people set goals that are too lofty, difficult to attain or too far off in the future.This can bring about a sense of helplessness and hopelessness, increasing risk for depression and low motivation. In addition, sometimes goals can send the message that where you are right now is not good enough, potentially bringing about feelings of shame and guilt.Therefore, you have to be careful when you set goals. It is important that goals are approached in a way that improve your mood and quality of life, as opposed to increasing distress. Listed below are some tips on how to make goals less stressful. In addition to reducing distress, following these tips may also increase your likelihood of achieving goals.Break Your Goals Into Smaller GoalsLarge goals can often feel unattainable and far away. Therefore, it can be helpful to break down that larger goal in a series of smaller goals that you can achieve in the near future. Think of these smaller goals as the stepping stones that will eventually take you towards the larger goal you have set for yourself.Think About What is Driving Your GoalsWhen we set large goals that may take some time to achieve, we can sometimes forget why we set that goal in the first place. As a result, we may lose motivation in attempting to achieve that goal. To counter this, try to think of why you set this goal. What kind of values are driving your pursuit of this goal?For example, let's say that you set the goal of getting a college degree. You may have set this goal because you value education. Likewise, you may have set this goal because you value family and know that a college education may open up a number of opportunities for more financial security for you and your family.Reward Yourself for Making ProgressOftentimes, once someone achieves a goal, they quickly move on to the next goal. Take some time to recognize your achievements. Reward yourself. Take yourself out to dinner or buy yourself a gift. Do something that marks the progress you have made.Give Yourself Permission to Change GoalsSometimes while pursuing a goal we may realize we no longer want that goal. Our interests may have changed or other goals may take priority. It can be hard not to complete a goal, especially after a lot of hard work has gone into pursuing that goal. Give yourself permission to focus attention on other goals. You are not giving up. You are just changing your focus. You will face worse consequences (low motivation, lack of interest) if you stick with the old goal despite not desiring it anymore.Watch Out for Perfectionism or High StandardsNo one is perfect and setting high standards can make goals feel even more overwhelming and difficult to attain.Setbacks will happen. This is okay. The most important thing is that you approach these setbacks with self-compassion (don't beat yourself up or blame yourself -- that will only increase your distress) and re-commit to the pursuit of your goal.Let Others Know About Your GoalsSome goals can take a tremendous amount of effort. Therefore, enlist the help of others. It can also be helpful for others to know what goals you are pursuing because they can keep you focused and committed at times when you may feel your motivation waning. Other people can also provide social support to help with anxiety and stress that may keep you from pursuing a goal.By following these tips, you will be much more likely to achieve your goals, increase your self-confidence and improve your quality of life. Goals can be very helpful; however, goals can bring about stress, anxiety and other unpleasant emotions, especially if you are already managing the demands of a mental health disorder. Therefore, it is very important to make sure that you are moving towards goals in a way that minimizes distress and maximizes success.。
