下面文章中有五处 (第1—5题) 需要添加标题。请从以下选项 (A、B、C、D、E和F) 中选出符合意思的标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
1.
Hopes, ambitions (抱负), dreams. How many of yours will you achieve? When you look back at your life in the future, will you have good memories of all the things that you did? Or will you regret all the things that you didn't do?
Of course, there's no easy road to success, but one thing is certain: success won't come if you don't do anything. So how do you do it? This four-step model will help you to make your dreams come true.
Step 1: 2.
What would you like to do? Write down all your ambitions. They may be very general, such as I would like to be fitter. I want to be famous or It would be nice to have more friends. Or they may be more specific, like I've always wanted to play a musical instrument.
Step 2: 3.
Now you need to do two things:
1. Choose one or two ambitions. If you try to do everything, you won't do anything.
2. Set a time limit (限定). This is very important, because you will have a goal and you will also know when you have reached it.
So, for example, I would like to be fitter. in Step 1 now becomes I will be fit enough to join a half-marathon race by the end of August.
Step 3: 4.
Now that you've made your choice, what are you actually going to do to achieve your goal? So, in our example, I will be fit enough to join a half-marathon race by the end of August. becomes I'm going to join a running club. or I'm going to go jogging three times a week.
Step 4: 5.
This is when you change your intentions (意图) into specific actions. Prepare to do something at a specific time. If you don't do this, your dreams and plans will just stay as dreams and plans. So now I'm going to join a running club. becomes I'm meting the president of the Cheetahs Running Club on Monday evening at 5∶30.
Don't let your ambitions die. Follow this four-step plan and make your dream come true.
A.Change I would like to.. . to I will. . .
B.Change I did. . . to I do. . .
C.How to be successful
D.Change I'm going to. .. to I'm doing.. . on. .. at. ..
E.Think about your ambitions
F.Change I will. . . to I'm going to. . .
How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.
First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter.
Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do.
This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?
Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护)it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course? What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club? That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.
Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.
1.Some people want to change the park into __________.
A.a golf club B.a golf course C.a park D.a skating place
2.According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children
A.go to get some exercise B.fall in love with golf
C.play video games at home D.go to the street and make friends
3.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
(P=Paragraph)
A.
B.
C.
D.
4.What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
A.To help carry out further plans.
