Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to 36 your life happen.Successful and happy people have a vision of 37 their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them 38 their vision. By setting goals you are controlling your life. Its 39 having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this 40 . There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is 41 for her on a map. She can drive straight there 42 any wasted time or wrong turns. 43 driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place 44 the first driver, but she drives 45 around, never getting anywhere, 46 using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and 47 on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen 48 . Goals arent difficult to set, 49 they arent difficult to reach. Its 50 you to find out what your goals, ideals and vision really are. You are the one who 51 decide what to 52 and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us when we write a goal down we are 53 to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, 54 are harder to neglect or forget.Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations 55 will further your goals.36.

Many of us watch sports on TV, go to games and meets, and play tennis or golf in the time left after school or work. We may even chat about sports on the Internet. Many observers note that sports reinforce(加强;增强)norms and values important to society, like competition and teamwork. Sports metaphors, such as There is no I in TEAM, teach us that success is achieved by putting the group above individual glory. Slogans like Winners never quit and quitters never win reinforce values of competition and working hard to get ahead.Nevertheless, organized sports have been criticized for several things. One is that they encourage potentially harmful male aggression. Another is that they direct minority students, particularly African American males, toward athletics-instead of academics-as a road to success. However, only a very small minority of high school athletes are able to support themselves through athletics. In fact, according to one estimate, only one of 12,000 high school athletes will earn money as a professional athlete; among those who make it, the average professional career lasts only three years. Nevertheless, the importance of sports in teaching and reinforcing norms and values, along with the role of sports in symbolizing and integrating communities, are important reasons why nearly every nation has encouraged athletics.64. Whats the primary purpose of the writers writing the passage?A. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of promoting athletics.B. To argue against supporting athletic teams in high schools.C. To entertain the reader with anecdotes about sports figures.D. To persuade that sports programs in schools need more money.65. What does the underlined word norms probably mean?A. Types of sports. B. Unusual or rare events.C. Errors to be avoided. D. Expected standards of behavior.66. Whats the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Athletics are supported by many countries.B. Emphasis on athletics may have some negative effects.C. Athletics prepare young people for success in life.D. African Americans often make excellent athletes.67. The author of this passage probably feels that _.A. teamwork is not important to success in athleticsB. playing sports makes young males much more manlyC. athletes should be encouraged to build academic skillsD. sports should be discouraged in most American schools(D)About 1 in 15 households drink bottled water today, spending about $ 4 billion a year on it. Although the reasons for the trend are many, bottled waters health benefits fall near the top of the list. Surveys have found that about 25 percent of bottled water drinkers choose the beverage for health and safety reasons; another quarter believe it is pure and free of contaminants(杂质).Regardless of its pristine image, bottled water is not necessarily any purer or more healthful than what flows right out of the tap. Consider that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the bottled water industry watchdog, does not require that bottled water meet higher standards for quality, such as the maximum level of contaminants, than public water supplies regulated by the EPA. For the most part, the FDA simply follows EPAs regulatory lead. Granted, bottled water is often filtered(过滤) to remove chemicals such as chlorine that may impart a certain taste. But that doesnt make it any safer. In fact, about 25 to 40 percent of bottled water comes from the same municipal water supplies as tap water. Furthermore, some bottled waters do not contain any or enough of the fluoride(氟化物) needed to fight cavities. The only way to determine whether a certain water contains the mineral is to check with the company that bottles it.This is not to say that bottled water is necessarily any better or worse, from a health standpoint, than tap water. Its certainly preferable to tap water for those who like its taste. The problem is that many consumers pay 300 to 1,200 times more per gallon for bottled water than for tap water because they think bottled water is the more healthful of the two. Bottlers add to the confusion by sprinkling terms such as pure, crystal pure and premium on labels illustrated with pictures of glaciers, mountain streams, and waterfalls, even when the water inside comes from a public reservoir. However, the FDA has set forth regulations requiring clear labeling of bottled waters. The miniglossary of bottled waters explains what some of the terms used on bottles really mean.68. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Most bottled water drinkers buy it for the taste.B. Labels on bottled water are used to mislead consumers.C. The FDA sets high standards for bottled water.D. Only wealthy people can afford bottled water.69. According to the passage, removing chlorine from water_A. does not make the water safer B. is required by the FDAC. makes the water less expensive D. is necessary for good health70. According to the passage, one valid reason for drinking bottled water is the _.A. convenience B. cost. C. minerals D. taste71. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Bottled water may be preferable to tap water in taste.B. Bottled water is always safer to drink than tap water.C. Consumers should consider carefully the reason for buying bottled water.D. The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for the bottled water.(E)The art of living is to know when to let hold fast and to let go for life is a paradox(自相矛盾的事物).People always say:“ A man comes to this world with his hand clenched(握紧),but when he dies, his hand is open.”Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is wondrous, and full of beauties. We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember what was and then suddenly realize that it is no more.A recent experience re-taught me this truth. I was hospitalized following a severe heart attack and had been in intensive care for several days. It was not a pleasant place. One morning, I had to have some tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be wheeled across the courtyard on a gurney(
