Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from being alone in your confusion. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 71 _______ 

1.    Get specific

When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight" because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. 72 _______       Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.

2.    73 _______ 

Considering how busy most of us are, it's not surprising that we often miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means seize these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.

3.    Know exactly how far you have left to go

Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring (监督）of your progress

—if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior accordingly. 74 _______ 

It is my hope that you have gained some insight (认识）into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember: 75  _______  It's never what you are, but what you do.

A.    Wait for opportunities to appear.

B.    Seize the moment to act on your goals.

C.    Here are things successful people do differently.

D.    Next I'll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success.

E.    You don't need to become a different person to become a more successful one.

F.     Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.

G.    Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there.

Is losing weight as simple as doing a 15-minute writing exercise? In a new study, women who wrote about their most important values, like close relationships or religion, lost more weight over the next few months than women who didn't. "We have this need to feel self-integrity (正直，诚实)，” says Christine Logel of the University of Waterloo. "When something threatens your sense that you're a good person, like failing a test, we can buffer (缓 冲）that self-integrity by reminding ourselves how much we love our children, for example".

For this study, the researchers recruited (聘用）45 female undergraduates, of whom 58% were overweight. Each woman was weighed, and was then given a list of important values, like creativity, music or relationships with friends and family members. Each woman ranked the values in order of how important they were to her. Then half the women were told to write for 15 minutes about the value that was most important to her. The other half, a control group, were told to write about why a value far down on their list might be important to someone else.

The women came back months later to be weighed again. Women who had written about an important value lost an average of 3.41 pounds, while women in the control group gained an average of 2.76 pounds.

"How we feel about ourselves can have a big effect," Logel says. Maybe when one of the women who wrote about an important value went home that night, she felt good about herself and didn't eat to make herself feel better. Over a few months, that could make a real difference in her life.

64. How can a 15-minute writing exercise of important values affect people?

A. They will feel proud of themselves and gain weight gradually.

B. They may feel good about themselves and then eat less than usual.

C. They may continue writing and decide to become a professional writer.

D. They will never have meals at night to make themselves lose weight.

65. What were the females required to do in the study?

A. The overweight women wrote about the value most important to them.

B. Only the control group was given a list of important values.

C. Both groups ranked the values in order of importance to them.

D. Each woman was weighed three times in the process of the study.

66. Which of the following persons may lose weight according to the new study?

A. Mary who wrote about her own adventure.

B. Catherine who described her illness in her writing.

C. Shirley who wrote how much she loved her children.

D. Alice who complained her boss in her diary.

67. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Women Values Losing Weight      B. Losing Weight Is Very Simple

C. Writing Benefits Women a Lot     D. Writing Contributes to Losing Weight

These days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction. Fortunately, there are a few badgers (獾)...oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government have just decided to kill them too! But why?

Badgers are fascinating nocturnal (夜晚活动的）creatures, living underground. They're extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry "bovine tuberculosis" (bTB) — an infectious disease caused by the bacterium M. Bovis which can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle. For farmers, this is a serious issue, because they usually keep a large number of cows together to raise. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in 2010，more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. Bovine TB costs the UK about £100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy £9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.

Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% Of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the government has agreed to kill badgers.

Of course, many are against the measure. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldn't work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move in and become infected too. Furthermore, the number of cattle in one spot is usually very large. They believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.

60. Why does the UK government want to kill badgers?

A. Because badgers are responsible for all the bTB infected cattle.

B. Because a disease connected with badgers has caused a big loss.

C. Because badgers are very easy to become infected with bTB.

D. Because cattle are often with badgers which may carry bTB.

61. Some people believe that killing badgers in certain areas doesn't help because _______ 

A. badgers nearby would occupy where the killed badgers once lived.

B. badgers are often transported around to lots of different farms.

C. the disease will still exist there with all the cattle infected.

D. the government doesn't have a good knowledge of the disease.

62. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. The UK government has decided to kill badgers to control the disease.

B. Very few wild animals exist in the UK these days except badgers.

C. A lot of people are against killing badgers for some reasons.

D. A large sum of money has been spent controlling the disease.

63. What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Cattle are often kept separately to prevent diseases.

B. Many cattle are gathered in one area to raise.

C. Cattle are raised very carefully and attentively.

My father was poor in expressing his feelings. I knew that my dad loved me, but showed me love in other ways. There was one particular time in my life when this became real to me.

I always believed that my parents had a good marriage, but gradually the strain (拉紧）on my mom and dad's relationship was quite evident. However, I was not prepared for the day when Dad had decided to leave. All that I could think of was that I was going to become a product of a divorced family. I kept telling myself that it wasn't going to happen. The night before he left, I stayed up in my room for a long time. I prayed and I cried and I wrote a long letter to my dad. I told him how much I loved him and that I would always and forever be his Krissie...his Noodles. As I folded my note, I stuck in a picture of me with a saying I had always heard: "Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a daddy." Early the next morning, as my dad left our house, I slipped my letter into one of his bags.

Two weeks later, my mother told me that they decided that there were things that the both of them could and would change and that their marriage was worth saving. "Well, Dad said that when he read your letter, it made him cry. It meant a lot to him and I have hardly ever seen your dad cry. After he read your letter, he called to ask if he could come over to talk. Whatever you said really made a difference to your dad."

A few days later my dad was back. We never talked about the letter. I guessed that it became a secret between us.

56. Why did the author's father decide to leave?

A. Because he was poor in showing his feelings.

C. a man who raises special children can become a real father

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Dear Patti,

I’m writing to you for some advice on my studies. As you know, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am attracted to it and I have fallen in love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have been spending lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching the Web for more information about football. As a result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study. Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my major objective is to learn more knowledge in school, I can’t concentrate on my lessons and gradually I am tired of them. I am still a senior two middle school student, and I’ll have my own business even when I grow up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football. But now I can’t stop myself from getting involved further with football. So I feel very depressed and want to know how to deal with the contradiction (矛盾) between my studies and hobbies.

Sincerely yours,

Li Ming
