There are three kinds of goals: short-term, intermediate and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with present activities. Such goals can be achieved in a week or two, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation (基础), our long-term goals cannot be achieved without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the time and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school years, or they could extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you never allow yourself to become discouraged. As you complete each step, you will have more belief in your ability to grow and succeed. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static (静态的) thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 1. The long-term goals mean______. A. something static and easy to get if we complete our short-term goals B. something easy to reach if we complete a short-term goal in time C. nothing but our dreams of future D. a lot, such as a dream, and aspiration (热望) or a wish in our life 2.When we complete each step of our goals, ______. A. we will win final success B. we become down-hearted C. we should encourage ourselves D. we should think about changing our goals 3. It is the most important for us students to have ___________ first. A. long-term goals B. intermediate goals C. short-term goals D. dreams of future 4.Which of the following titles is best for this passage? A. Three Kinds of Goals B. How to Reach Goals C. Changeable Goals D. Moveable Goals

Your body, which has close relations with the food you eat, is the most important thing you own, so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养).The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C. Many people take extra vitamins in pill form, believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn’t need or use extra vitamins, so why waste money on them? In the modern western world, many people are too busy to bother about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs, eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening, 1.“Your body has close relations with the food you eat.” It really means that ______. A. all kinds of food you eat can be made into your body B. your body is made up of the food you eat C. what you eat has great effect on your health D. the more you eat, the fitter you will feel 2.The old saying referred to in the passage tells us that ______. A. eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health B. the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits C. apples can take the place of doctors D. an apple is a sure cure for illness 3.In the second paragraph, the writer tries to let us know ______. A. our bodies need food or we can’t live B. often eating apples is a good habit C. taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless D. a good diet is of great importance for our health 4.From the passage we can draw a conclusion that if we want to keep healthy, we should ______. A. only eat an apple a day B. eat properly C. take as many vitamin pills as possible D. throw something into our stomachs slowly and carefully

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult (成年人) population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the case is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence（证据）does little to support the idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn’t watch TV. Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fat people do not eat more on average (平均) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (调查), such as a 1990 study of 3,545 London office workers, show that fatter people eat less than slimmer people. Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group of Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more fat they lost. The more they ran, the more they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 1.What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have? A. They are too thin. B. They work too hard. C. They are too fat. D. They lose too much fat. 2.Which of the following words can take the place of the word “slim” in this passage? A. poor B. thin C. healthy D. rich 3.Compared with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910 ______. A. ate more food and had more activities B. ate less food but had more activities C. ate less food and had less physical activities D. had more weight problems 4.What have modern medical and scientific researches reported to us? A. Fat people eat less food and are less active. B. Fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active. C. Fat people eat more food than slim people but are more active. D. Thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake.

As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him. His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwin’s interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert Fitzroy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推荐). That voyage was the start of Darwin’s great life. As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life. Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwin’s great book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection (《物种起源》) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work. Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later. 1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Charles Darwin’s ideas B. Charles Darwin’s works C. Father of modern biology: Charles Darwin D. The greatest scientist: Charles Darwin 2.Darwin’s father sent him to Edinburgh to _____. A. make him like natural history B. make him become a doctor C. let him change his hobbies D. have him give up his collection 3.According to the passage, Charles Darwin’s whole life was changed by _____. A. his study at Cambridge University B. his collection of coins C. the naturalists at Cambridge D. the voyage of the Beagle 4.The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_____”. A. they gave monkeys life B. they were different from monkeys C. they were developed from monkeys D. they had to live with monkeys
