这是一篇议论文。文章就如何设定和管理目标提出了几点建议。

1.

分析文章结构可知，空处是一个过渡句；根据后文Break your goal into smaller goals（把你的目标分解成更小的目标）和Think about what is driving your goal（想想是什么推动了你的目标）可知，空处这个过渡句应该是介绍设定和管理目标几点建议；结合选项可知，选项D. Listed below are some tips on how to set and manage goals下面是一些关于如何设定和管理目标的建议，与文章结构描述一致。故选D。

2.

根据本段的主旨句Break your goal into smaller goals可知，本段作者建议我们把目标分解成更小的目标，由此可知，空处谈论的是这么做的好处；结合选项可知，选项A. Small goals are often achievable小目标往往是可以实现的；空后一句中的smaller goals that you can achieve 与选项A表述相同的意思。故选A。

3.

根据空前When you set large goal that may take some time to achieve, you can sometimes forget why you set that goal in the first place.可知，当你设定了一个可能需要一些时间才能实现的大目标时，你有时会忘记当初为什么要设定这个目标。由此可知，空处谈论的是目标过大的弊端；结合选项可知，选项F. As a result, you may lose motivation in attempting to achieve that goal you have set结果，你可能会失去动力去实现你设定的目标，承接上文，此外，下文的this指代的也是此选项所提到的情形。故选F。

4.

根据本段小标题Reward yourself for making progress（奖励自己取得的进步）和空前Once you achieve a goal, you may quickly move on to the next goal.（一旦你实现了一个目标，你可能很快就会转向下一个目标。）可知，空处谈论的是我们不要过快的转换目标，也就是要花时间来认识我们的进步；结合选项可知，选项C .Take some time to recognize your progress花点时间来认识你的进步，与本段表述内容一致。故选C。

5.

根据空后两句Sometimes you may realize you no longer want that goal. Your interests may have changed or other goals may take priority (优先). 可知，有时你会意识到你不再想要那个目标。你的兴趣可能已经改变，或者其他目标会优先考虑。由此可知，本段主要讲述允许自己做出改变；结合选项可知，选项B. Give yourself permission to change goals(允许自己改变目标)，能概括本段大意，符合题意。故选B。
