What is your personal goal in life? Do you know goals and do you work towards a goal in your life? (1)You may already have an idea of what you want to do, but you may not write it down. It could take as little as 10 or 20 minutes, and it’s not too hard. It’s time to think about and write down what you want to realize in life and try your best to make it come true.

How to start? （2）     , imagine you are at the        of your life, looking back. What would you like to have realized? What kind of person would you like to have been? Now here’s the key: start living your life so that you will finally get to that point.

As you’ve given that a little thought, you may already have an idea of what you do. Then the second step is to write down the goals you’d like to reach, either in a short time or a long time—daily goals, weekly goals, monthly goals, yearly goals and life goals. They can be different from each other, in different areas. But don’t have too many goals at a time. Don’t have goals that are impossible to come true.

Now it’s the last step. Take action! Work hard to realize your goals. Once you have set up a goal, try hard and never give up, even if there are some difficulties.

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes (態(tài)度) surprisingly shows that their family life is happier than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive (積極的) today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious（叛逆的）and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don’t want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that these parents are much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel LaSalle. “I always tell them when I’m going out clubbing. When they know what I’m doing, they’re fine with it.” Susan Cromer, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call talk or discussion. For example, when I’d done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion（叛逆）is not based on real facts. A researcher explains, “Teenagers were thought to be different from others in a part of time in our social history. But to our surprise, they say they are getting on well with their parents. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled.”

Life in the 22nd century will be different from life in the 20th century, because many changes will take place in the new century, but what will the changes be?

The population is       fast. There will be more and more people in the world and most of them will live     than before.      will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And computer studies will be one of the important subjects at     .

People will work fewer hours than they did in the 20th century, and they will have more free time for sports,      TV and traveling. Traveling will be     . And many more people will go to other countries for holidays.

More land will be used for building new towns and houses. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so     will be more expensive. Maybe no one will eat it every day,     , they eat more vegetables and fruit. Maybe people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be      , too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots(機(jī)器人). Because of this, many people will not have enough        to do. This will be a problem.

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone.Now teleshopping is starting in Europe (歐洲).In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.
Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example.The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million.In France there are two teleshopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through these channels.
In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day.Then the government allowed (允許) more telepshopping.Other channels can open for telebusiness, including (包括) the largest American teleshopping company and a 24?hour teleshopping company.German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.
Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes.With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason.But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping.They call teleshopping “junk (垃圾) on the air”.Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (質(zhì)量) of the things for sale on TV.Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.
