People make resolutions, work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget them. Next year, they make the same New Years resolutions. That is the syndrome. So why do so many people do it?They may be making goals that are too global, and too unrealistic. The elephant analogy (比喻)is still the best one I know of to illustrate good goal setting. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. So it is with goals. Make spoon size goals and acplish them easily. Once youve mastered this, get a bigger spoon!You may have too many people in your life who consciously or subconsciously are unwilling or unable to support you to reach your goals. Surround yourself with people who want you to have what you want for yourself. Support each other and youll all achieve your highest goals.We must be careful not to confuse busyness with progress. Be selective about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often es when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life.Goal setting is like the pig and chicken who were out for a walk in town early one morning. The chicken became really excited when she saw a sign that said Ham & Eggs, $2.99. She said to the pig, Look, weve got double billing again. The pig grunted and said, Thats all right for you to say. For you, its all in a days work. For me, its total mitment. Goal setting is all in a days work. Goal achievement is total mitment.41. What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.

For most people, the approaching holiday season includes more time with the extended family, including the elder generation.Unfortunately, older adults are often unseen in the popular media. Yet theres a big body of evidence that shows the benefits of older adults wisdom and the value of developing munication across generations.First, over the course of human history, older people have played very important roles as advice-givers. Anthropological (人类学) research shows that survival in pre-literate societies wasdependent on the knowledge of the oldest members.In recent times, most of the researches about intergenerational munication occur within formal programs, such as ones including older adults in public schools or having youth visit assisted living facilities. Also, you can apply many of the lessons of the researches to your own family gatherings.There is clear evidence that it is good for young people to spend time with older adults. The youth who participated in intergenerational programs showed more respect toward older adults, less anxiety, and higher self-esteem. Research also shows that interacting with younger people is good for older adults. A systematic review found that older adults who participated in intergenerational programs were likely to experience more satisfaction with their lives, higher self-esteem and fewer symptoms of depression. Interactions during intergenerational programs can be positive even when an older adult is experiencing memory or cognitive problems.Having children teach puter or video games to the older generations can be a fun way to spend time together. A study found that intergenerational games can help family members to bond. Another idea is to encourage the youth to ask older family members for their advice about life.The youth can ask older adults specific questions about the lessons they learned from their life experiences.The take-home message is that time with older relatives is one of the true gifts of the holiday season. Make the most of it by spending time with the older generation!51. Which of the following statements would the author most probably agree with? A.

This is the conference whereI got my start about 15 years ago, so it feels special whenever I go back there.I usually teach multiple sessions, host a table at meals where I can talk with conferees, and often have about 40-50 private appointments with attendees. I take great pleasure in giving my personal advice on the beginners writing journey after listening to their puzzlement.And then I realized something, as I looked across the room and saw Al Gansky and Eva Marie Everson whom Id had private appointments with many years ago when I was one of the conferees. The only reason I am a member there now is because countless people like them have invested inme. As a new writer, I once expressed my book ideas to Al and Eva, and they encouraged me a lot.

Id never have made it on this journey without them.Last week, I was invited to experience the life in the countryside with some writer friends. I refused the invitation at first.
