One day, his 3-year-old grandson asked him how he placed his beard when he slept. Did it go under the blanket or did it stay above it? The old man had never paid attention to this, and he said he didnt remember whether his beard stayed above or went under the blanket. He promised to find out. It was very cold that night. The old man got into bed and pulled the blanket over himself. Then he suddenly remembered his grandsons question. He became quite sure that his beard was under the blanket. He lifted it from under the blanket, and placed it above it. This made him feel that something was not quite right. So he put the beard under the blanket again. But he soon felt it would be better if it was out. In and out went the beard: first under the blanket, then above it, and then under it once again. The old man spent a sleepless night. The next morning, the first thing he did was to cut his beard to chin (下巴) level, to the great joy of his daughter who had been asking him to do just that for several months.( ) 1.

Its because we havent counted the cost. For example, you set a goal to get better grades in school this year. Thats good. But now, before you begin, count the cost. What will it need? You will have to spend more time doing your homework and less time being with your friends. You will have to stay up late sometimes. Finding more time for schoolwork might mean giving up watching TV or reading your favourite magazine. Now, having counted the cost, think of the good. What could good grades bring you? A feeling of success? A scholarship to college? A good job? Now ask yourself, “Am I willing to make the loss?” If not, then dont do it. Dont make any promise to yourself when you cant finish it. A better way is to make the goal more practical. Instead of setting a goal to get grades in all your lessons, you might set a goal to get better in just two lessons. Then, next term, take another step. Counting the cost will always add a touch of needed realism (现实性) to your goals. 1. Why cant we make our goals come true sometimes after setting them?A.
