There are few people who draw up life goals．Most people want to take one step at a time and are frightened when they have to set life goals 1.
They can’t be more wrong ．Life goals are only a road map ．They record what you want to be at the end of your life．2.others may want to be known as great builders or great sports people．In fact，there is no end to what to be．
However，the only way you can achieve your dream is by writing down your goal ．Once you have done that，you need to break this goal into several small goals．While writing the small goals，you must provide for change．3.if you want to achieve your goals，you should be prepared to change them from time to time．This makes your goals really up-to-date．
Also，there cannot be just one life goal ．There are at least five subjects that you need to address ．There are: education ，career (职业)，family，health and money．4. For example，there can be no career goals unless they are backed by education goals．Similarly，there can be no family goals unless they are based on practical financial goals．
None of these goals is taught in college ．Yes，there are some families that try to train their kids to think wisely，and plan for their life ．5._They know what they want to get in life．They are also mentally prepared for most of the difficulties they expect to meet on the way．
A．These are happy families
B．Good health helps you to realize your goals．
C．Nothing remains unchanged in this world．
D．Many people do not know how to set life goals．
E．To them，life is too big to reduce to a few goals．
F．you will find that all these goals are related．
G．Some may want to be known as great scientists．

People travel for a lot of reasons．Some travelers go to see battlefields or religious shrines．Others are looking for culture，or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places．But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it．Residents of cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain．Every summer，more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) resorts and beaches for their vacation．They all come for the same reason: sun．
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries．Italy's 30，000 hotels are booked every summer．And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches，parks，and roadsides．Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else．37 million tourists visit yearly，or one tourist for every person living in Spain．
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle．The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth．And with increased tourism，it's getting worse．The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St．Tropez．And in many places，swimming is dangerous because of pollution．
None of this，however，is damaging anyone's fun．The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists．Obviously，they don't go there for clean water．They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches．They don't even mind the pollution．No matter how dirty the water is，the coastline still looks beautiful．And as long as the sun shines，it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin，London，or else．
1.It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that ______．
A．they want to see battlefields or religious shrines．
B．they are interested in different cultures．
C．they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites．
D．they wish to escape from the cold，dark and rainy days back at home．
2.In Para．1，cities like London，Copenhagen，and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that ______．
A．they are not good cities in climate．
B．how rich their residents are．
C．these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots．
D．they have got more tourism than they can handle．
3.According to the passage，which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?
A．Italy B．Spain
C．France D．Greece
4.The sentence "one tourist for every person living in Spain" (Para．2 ) means ____．

B．all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists．
C．every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist．

We feel it important to start reading to your child right from the start –the younger the better! With little ones(children from birth to 4)it is very important to read and reread books．Starting early makes the job of the listener(for you will be teaching your child how to listen) easier，as it helps to develop an early love of the written and spoken word．
We believe that you should read aloud to your child at least once every day ．Set a special reading time during the day or evening when you can settle down（安静下来） and enjoy a book，without interruption．For most families，reading aloud at bedtime is a common practice．
We understand that it can be quite discouraging to read to a child who takes no interest ．Take heart! Learning to listen takes experience ．The more you read ，the more your child will learn to sit for a story ．Children have a natural development of responses(反应)to your reading ．By the time your child reaches6-7 months，she/he is attracted by the book in your hand ，and would like to test it out by using it as a chew(咀嚼)toy．This is natural! By one year，your child is learning to listen and talk about the pages，often shouting out things she/he recognizes．Encourage this! And at the onset (起始)of walking ，you have your biggest challenge yet．your child is always on the go．you need to set your reading time for a time in the day when your child is preparing to settle down．This means bedtime．Remember，it is your right and duty to teach your child about the power of books．Of course ，it doesn’t happen overnight，but the returns are great!
1.Who does “the listener” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．The writer B．The parent
C．The child D．The teacher

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
It’s a time when school，homework，active social lives and pare-time jobs keep teenagers busy from early in the morning until late at night．They are likely to try to make up for a lack of sleep by “sleeping in” on the weekends．Unfortunately，this causes irregular sleep and actually makes the problem worse．
Most teenagers are not able to fall asleep until late at night．Since many teens aren’t sleepy until around 11 pm．but need to be at school by 7:30 or 8:00 am ．They cannot get enough sleep ．During puberty(青春期)，the biological clock in the brain naturally re-sets to a later time ，and this causes teens to fall asleep later．Then ，when it’s time to get up ，a teen’s body clock is likely to still be producing the night-time hormones ．This makes it hard for them to feel active and energetic in the morning．
A growing body of research suggests that starting high school later improves attendance，achievements and grades．A few years ago in an important study ，test scores on the SAT college entrance exams in Edina，Minnesota jumped more than 100 points on average，when the morning school bell rang an hour later．Unfortunately，most schools are not set up to start later and fail to satisfy teen’s sleep needs．
1.What effect does “sleeping in” on the weekends have on teenagers?
A．Improving their health
B．Weakening their energy
C．Disturbing their biological clock
D．Making up for their hormone loss
2.The study in Minnesota shows that starting morning school one hour later helps to______．
A．make teenagers grow faster
B．change teenagers’ sleep needs
C．do more research on teenagers
D．improve students’ achievements
3.The text helps us to know more about teenagers’______．
A．daytime activities B．sleeping habits
C．mental problems D．studying methods
