    Coaches and parents always tell us to keep our goals in mind when we go for a competition. Carrying your goals and expectations into a competition is one of the biggest mistakes any athlete can make. This is a big game and you want to win. You want to score a hundred, defeat your competitors, or score a hat-trick（三分）of goals. When you carry your goals into the competitive ground with you, chances are great that you will leave that performance with disappointment and heartache, and nothing more!
    Expectations will weigh you down. Expectations will distract （使分心）you from the performance and make your muscles tighten up. Want to perform to your potential when it counts the most? Then write your goals on a piece of paper before you leave for the game, match or race, and then leave that paper at home!  Make a deal with yourself to let go of your goals. Expectations and goals should be your training partner, used to motivate you to work harder during practice and take your game to the next level, However, never take your goals and expectations into a competition. You will not perform to your potential!
    Go into your competitions without any preconceived （预想的）ideas about the result. Forget the outcome!  Instead, keep your focus on what you’re doing in the moment. Think of the competition as it unfolds, moment by moment. Relax at every opportunity by breathing deep and letting go of the tension in your muscles. When you do this you’ll remain loose and relaxed. When you stay loose,  you’ll perform to your capabilities. Goals and expectations are very important for your overall motivation, and very harmful when you carry them into a performance.
    小题1:According to the passage, for an athlete one of the biggest mistakes is _______.
    A．forgetting his goals when competingB．worrying about his not winning
    C．carrying his goals into the competitionD．paying too much attention to the result

    A．make you feel anxiousB．make you want to do something
    C．help you perform to the potentialD．help you concentrate on something
    小题3:According to the author, expectations and goals should be ________.
    A．set within one’s capabilities
    B．used as an encouragement when training
    C．written down in case of being forgotten
    D．divided into some small parts
    小题4:What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
    A．Keep your goals in mindB．Set your goals for a competition
    C．Forget your goals after competitionsD．Leave your goals at home

    小题1:C
    小题2:A
    小题3:B
    小题4:D

    试题分析：本文介绍了很多运动员的误区，就是在比赛的时候总是想着自己的目标，这样反而会使自己紧张，不能取得好的成绩。

    I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (谷类食物), eggs or toast. While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from other kids' too. But at least I wasn't alone in my sufferings. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
    My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we'd be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or less—not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
    The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
    Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends' report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
    As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
    My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You're right, our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
    Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children think I am mean because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.
    小题1:What does the sentence “But at least I wasn't alone in my sufferings.” mean?
    A．The author's mother was only mean to her.
    B．The author's mother suffered her.
    C．The author's mother was mean to her sister, brothers and her.
    D．The author wasn't alone because of suffering.
    小题2:Why was the author's mother mean to her children?
    A．Because she wanted her children to be top students in school.
    B．Because she wanted her children to bring home colored report cards like her friends did.
    C．Because she wanted her children to drop out.
    D．Because she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．Some of the children weren't able to go to college because of their mean mother.
    B．Mother didn't let the author tell lies.
    C．Mother asked the author to wear clean clothes.
    D．The author could not miss school even if she was ill.
    小题4:The passage was written in a way of _______ tone?
    A．humorousB．hatefulC．ridiculousD．critical

    Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a self-effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
    　　Sometimes you remember things that did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
    Memory “trick” works the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber(理发师) shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
    　　We always seem to find something funny in incidents（小事） caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness(心不在焉). Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble. （words: 169）
    小题1:If you want to have a good memory, ________.
    A．you should force yourself to remember things
    B．you should make a self-effort of practice and exercise
    C．you should never stop learning
    D．you should try hard to remember things
    小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．One night the writer forgot to lock the front door.
    B．One night the writer forgot having locked the front door.
    C．The writer remembered to lock the door.
    D．The writer remembered unlocking the front door.
    小题3:From the sentence "We never get tired of hearing new ones", we can infer that______.
    A．we enjoy hearing new stories about absent-mindedness of professors
    B．we don’t want to know anything more about absent-mindedness of professors
    C．we will never get rid of（摆脱） listening to new stories about absent-mindedness
    D．absent-mindedness happens not only to professors but to many other people

    Why do parents have such a difficult time to communicate openly and honestly with their teens? For this, there are many reasons but most of them stem from not being able to properly understand their teens. It is a dangerous gap because parents will have to communicate with their teens about a wide variety of issues during the most important years of their lives. Thus, parents must know how to communicate openly and honestly with their teens.
    Here are a few tips to make communication easier between parents and teenagers.
    1. Try not to talk down to your teens. Make them feel as if their views really matter, which not only helps your discussions with your teen but bring you closer to him.
    2. Imagine what it would be like to be a teen. Try to remember some of the negative feelings you experienced as a teenager and apply it to your teen's situation.
    3. Never make negative remarks to your teen about what she has said or done.
    4. Remember how much courage it would have taken for your teen to come and talk to you about his personal issues. So listen respectfully.
    5. Don't ignore your teen's feelings because it is usually a cry for help. For instance, if your teen is unusually angry, it may be time to spend a bit of quality time with your teen to determine what is wrong and where he is coming from.
    It is, therefore, necessary for parents to strive to keep lines of communication open at all times with their teens. Try to remember what it was like to be a teenager and how vulnerable（脆弱的）you felt. Then you will be well on your way to help your teen communicate more openly and honestly.
    小题1:Why don't teens want to talk about their personal issues with their parents?
    A．Because they can't respect their parents.
    B．Because they can't understand their parents.
    C．Because their parents won't understand them well.
    D．Because their parents are not honest.
    小题2:When your son comes to you for help, you should NOT _____.
    A．listen respectively B．treat him seriously
    C．care about his feelingD．make negative remarks
    小题3:Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase  “talk down to”?

    Have you ever thought about developing your kids’interests in a positive manner? Have you thought about using music to help them focus their energies on a wonderful pursuit (追求)? Do you realize that by doing so, you will better equip them in life? Your little child will love you all his or her life for the first music lessons that you may give.
    Most kids have an interest in music. The only thing to do for you is to give direction to their interests so that they can focus on learning the fine art. Music teaches children to be persistent and disciplined. It also teaches them to try towards perfection and be a good team player. All this helps them not only in their studies but also in facing the challenges of life. Thus music at home and home recording are the first lessons you can present to your children.
    How to maintain the interests of kids in various kinds of music and instruments?  To solve this problem, it is important that at the beginning you bring home something that can hold the child’s interest for quite some time. This would include instruments such as electric guitar or drums. Encourage them to download music which is free over the Internet.
    Another thing to remember is that no one becomes an expert overnight. Have patience with your child. No point in fussing over his skills too much. A few words of appreciation will mean the world to them. Ask for their opinions and stick to the choice for quite some time. Be generous in praise.
    Music is the perfect gift you can present to your kids. It is never too late and the sooner you start, the better.
    小题1:The author uses three questions at the beginning of the passage to _____.
    A．test readers’ knowledge of music

    Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were “passion”, “focus” and “delegate” and I stayed true to them. This year, 2013, my goals are more personal and less professional.
    FOCUS
    Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
    HEALTH
    I get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check , not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.
    CELEBRATE
    What good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.

    A．He wants to take better care of others.
    B．He’s gaining weight and feeling bad.
    C．He did not take any exercise in the past.
    D．He got the idea from his son.
    小题3:What can we learn from the passage?

    B．The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.
    C．The word “FOCUS” can help the writer focus on his family.
