【题目】Why is setting goals important? ___【1】___ Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals.

By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns. ___【2】___ She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow them through. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. ___【3】___ Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach.

___【4】__ You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. ___ 【5】__ Like a contract(合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shell and found himself interested in the notes in the margin (页边).The soft handwriting showed a thoughtful soul and insightful (有洞察力的) mind.

In front of the book, he discovered the name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he got her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to keep in touch.

During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. A romance started. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like. Later they agreed on their first meeting—7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York.

“You’ll recognize me,” she wrote,” by the red rose I’ll be wearing my coat.” So at 7：00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose.

A girl in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers. Almost uncontrollably came to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell—a woman well past 40.The girl was walking quickly away.

He did not hesitate (犹豫), saying,” I’m John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?”

The woman smiled, “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered,” but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”

BEIJING — Rising smartphone star Xiaomi is moving up market and taking aim at Apple's iPhone. The Chinese maker known for low-priced phones on Thursday unveiled (发布) a new model that Chairman Jun Lei said is comparable to Apple's iPhone 6 but thinner, lighter and much cheaper. The phone starts at 4, 499 yuan ($575), less than half the 5,488 yuan ($ 865) price of an iPhone 6 in China.

Xiaomi, founded in 4010, passed South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. in the second quarter of last year as the best-selling smartphone brand in China by number of phones sold. The company is expanding into India and other developing markets but has yet to announce plans to enter the United States or Europe.

Xiaomi “is a respected brand that already has an Apple-like following” in China, said analyst Brian Blair, who tracks mobile device makers at Rosenblatt Securities. Apple is still a relatively small player in China, selling about 45 million iPhones there last year, Blair estimates, but will continue to grow.

“Apple is very much a premium (高端的) brand,” said Blair. “The company that's more at risk is Samsung, which has been losing share in that market.”

Privately held (私人控股的) Xiaomi said last year's sales tripled to 61. 1 million phones and revenue (收益) more than doubled to 74. 5 billion yuan ($14.4 billion). The company, based in Beijing, recently completed a round of fundraising from investors that it said valued Xiaomi at $ 45 billion, making it one of the world's most valuable technology brands.

Xiaomi ran into legal trouble in India in December after a court blocked sales while it hears a complaint by Sweden's LM Ericcson that the Chinese company violated its patents（专利）.

In a blog post earlier this month, Lei called the case a “rite of passage” (成年礼) for a young company.

【1】 Which of the following statements is true?

A. Xiaomi sold more cellphones than Samsung in 4010 in China.

B. Compared to Xiaomi, Apple's iPhone 6 is thinner and lighter.

C. Low-price is Xiaomi's advantage over Apple's iPhones.

D. The company is expanding into the United States or Europe.

【2】 What can be inferred from the passage according to Brian Blair?

A. More than 45 million iPhones will be sold this year.

B. Xiaomi can beat Apple in the market of China.

C. He thinks Xiaomi is superior to Apple.

D. Samsung will be closed for losing share in the market.

【3】 How is the 5th paragraph developed?

A. By giving examples.

B. By analyzing cause and effect.

C. By providing data.

D. By making comparisons.

【4】What's the attitude of Jun Lei towards the case of Xiaomi in India?

A. Negative.

B. Satisfied.

C. Positive.

D. Doubtful.
