Do you have a goal for life? What's it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person?
A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “to improve one's life quality”, “finding a good job”.
Wang You worked in a small firm (商行) in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn't have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the work was not exciting at all and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Beijing in February, 2007. When he arrived in Beijing, he set his new goal as finding a good job.
Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people's life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his/her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one's life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn't have a diploma, studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; and if one doesn't have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he will idle away (虚度) his lifetime. {007}”

The United States provides more than half the world’s food aid. American programs gave about two billion dollars last year.
But critics say the current system wastes money and delays the arrival of needed food. Under current law, United States government agencies have to buy Am {007}erican-produced food. And 75% of the aid must be carried on American ships.
President of the USA wants to change the system. His plan would provide food aid by buying crops directly from farmers in the developing world. Money in the form of cash would make up about 25% of the aid. The president is calling on Congress(国会) to support the agriculture in developing countries.

Section B (10points)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.
The word addiction(上瘾) usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs(酒精或毒品), but in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的)shopper. Others find it impossible to keep themselves away from their work. Still others spend many hours watching TV or playing computer games.
Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to the stores more and more every day. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are crazy about shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a good answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this activity when they feel guilty(负罪感的).
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can cause many problems. People addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.

There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever.
Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting. If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trust you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.
You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on this special days. Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider, but remember friendship is not about money. You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.
A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient. So have a helping hand ready at all times.
Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer. So, if you are far from your friends, there are many ways you can remain in contact(联系). You can use email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.
If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have achieved something noticeable, congratulate them and celebrate with them.
I have seen good friendships and when there is unhealthy competition between two friends. Though this may not happen in many cases, it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you.
As far as I have seen and experienced, it will be better not to either lend to or borrow money from your good friend. Of course, we have to do this with friends. But, attention should be paid so that your friendship may not end.
