Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation.

Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.

Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead.

What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.

So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on.

Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life every day.

Trying to come to a decision complete onyour own can be risky. Some decisions are very important that they shouldn’t bemade without talking to others first. There have several advantages if youconsult the persons you trust. For one thing, they can give you valuableadvices and they may point out some things you may have been overlooked. Foranother, friends may stop you make big mistakes.
When consulting others about importantdecisions, you should keep two things of mind. The first one is that you needto find someone whom you respect enough to trust their judgment. The secondthing to consider is how to do if you disagree with this person. Maybe turningto a third or fourth person for help is a good choice. In word, making any bigdecision alone can lead to problems. Talking to friends or family members firstare always a good idea.

Engwicht travels around the world, helping peoplethink differently about pedestrians, streets, and neighborhoods. ． He has workedin neighborhoods from Honolulu to Scotland.
While Engwicht was writing his book, he learned how neighbors inthe city of Delft, in the Netherlands, stopped dangerous traffic on theirstreet. They put old couches, tables, and planters in the street. ． When thepolice arrived, they saw how these illegal actions made the streets safer. Sooncity officials started planning ways to make cars slow down, and“calm”thetraffic.
Engwicht says we should think about streets as our “outdoorliving room”. ．
In the future, streets will be safe places for children again,and our neighbors will become our friends.
a．Cars andpedestrians crowded the street.
b．Calming thetraffic is just the beginning.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.

In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (凍原) starts has been shifting northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this,_plants tend to grow horizontal (水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don't have enough energy to make seeds.

But as Earth's climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. And with all that leftover energy, these trees have started producing more seeds. This happens especially in places where white spruce (白云杉) grows.

White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When windblown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they eventually can sprout(發(fā)芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.

New trees will provide shelters for some snow. Keeping the sun's rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the sun's heat. This warms the surrounding air. The extra wrmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further boosts a forest's ability to expand. In addition, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.

【1】What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?

A．The shrinking of northern tundra.

B．The rising temperature.

C．The fierce and cold wind.

D．The abundant resources in the north.

【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．To produce more seeds.

B．To move northward.

C．To respond to the climate change.

D．To protect themselves from the cold wind.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.

B．The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.

C．New trees can make the surrounding air warmer.

D．New trees can bring more food and shelter to local animals.

【4】The passage is most probably taken from ________.

A．a(chǎn) science report B．a(chǎn) health report

C．a(chǎn) fashion magazine D．a(chǎn) children's magazine
