Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities,which we can apply on a daily basis.Such goals can be achieved in a week or less,or two weeks,or possible months.It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals.Upon completing our short-term goals,we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals bukld on the foundation of the short-range goals.They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year,or they could even extend for several years.Any time you move a step at a time,you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step,you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow adn succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow,your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing.We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.11.Our long-term goals mean a lot__.A.if we complete our short-range goalsB.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC.if we write down the datesD.if we put forward some plans12.New short-term goals are bulid upon__.A.two yearsB.long-term goalsC.current activitiesD.the goals that have been completed13.When we complete each step of our goals ,__.A.we will win final successB.we are overwhelmedC.we should build up confidence of successD.we should strong desire for setting new goals14.Once our goals are drawn up,__.A.we should stick to them until we complete themB.we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunitiesC.we had better wait for the exciting news of successD.we have made great decision15.It is implied but not stated in the passage that ___.A.those who habe long-term goals will succeedB.writing down the dates may discourage youC.the goal is only a guide for us to reach our desinationD.every should have a goalTEXT BThere are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped envionmentally ,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual's intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old , their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reated by parents of low intelligence in an isolatedcommunity with poor educational pooprtunities.Mark was reared inthe home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child , sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were giben tesets to measure their intelligence. Mark'sI.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty pointshigher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities , the twins , having identical brains,would have tested at roughly the same level.16.This selection can best be titled_________.A.Measuring Your IntelligenceB.Intelligence and EnvironmentC.The Case of Peter and MarkD.How the brain Influences Intelligence17.The beststatement of the main idea of this passage is that _____.A.human brains differ considerablyB.the brain a person is born with is improtant in determining his intelligenceC.environment is crucial in determining a person's intelligenceD. persons having identical brains will have roughly the same intelligence18.According to the passage , the average I.Q.is _____.A.85B.100C.110D.12519.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.A.individual with identical brains seldom test at same levelB.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his enviromentck of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligenceD.changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain20.This passage suggests that an individual 's I.Q.______.A.can be predicted at birthB.stays the same throuthout his lifeC.can be increased by educationD.is determined by his childhoodTEXT CThe economy of the United states after 1952 was the econnomy of a well-fed,almostfully employed people. Despit occasional alarms, the country escaped any postwardepression and lived in a state of boom. A n economic survey of the year 1955,a typical year of the 1950’s, may be typical as illustrating the rapid economicgrowth of the decade. The national output was value at 10 percent above that of1954 (1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production ofmanufacturers was about 40 percent more than it had averaged in the yearsimmediately following World War 2. The country’s business spent about 30billiondollars for new factories and machinery. National income available for spendingwas almost a third greater than it had been it had been in 1950. Consumers spentabout 256 billion dollars; that is about 700 million dollars a day ,or about twenty-five million dollars every hour , all round the clock. Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than two million wanted jobs but could not find them . Only agriculture complained that it was not sharing in the room. To some observers this was an ominous echo of the mid-1920’s . As farmer’s shre of their products declined , marketing costs rose. But there were , among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority . Those few seemed to fear that the boom could not last and would eventually lead to the oppsite-depression.21. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Agriculatural Trends of 1950’sB. T he Unemployment Rate of 1950’sC. U.S. Economy in the 50’sD. The Federal Budget of 195222.

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well. First. Let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing th at has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “text me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to voice.Th ey found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones intrude on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.26. when people plan to meet nowadays, theyA. arrange the meeting place beforehandB. postpone fixing the place till last minuteC. seldom care about when and where to meetD. still love to work out detailed meeting plans.27. According to the two British researchers, the social and psychological effect are mostly likely to be seen onA. TALKERSB. the "speakeasy"C. the “spacemaker”D. texters28.
