　　[1]Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success．．．Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason．

　　[2]It's true that terrible things do happen to people during their lives, though no fault of their own, which may make them feel upset．Generally speaking, however, getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following three simple steps．

　　[3]Firstly, you have to decide what it is you want the most．But do not make a list of wishes; try to focus on one thing at a time．If you're not sure about where you want to go, you'd better think it over first and not hurry to perform．

　　[4]Secondly, create an action plan．This will be your map for getting from " ________ " to "where you want to go"．You know what you want, and what steps you are going to take to get it．For example, if you want a better job, start with a skills assessment and maybe some extra training．Then you'll need to sell yourself and your skills either to your present employer or to a new employer．

　　[5]Other goals will require a bit more thought．Some will really get you lost without a clue of how to get there．Not to worry, though, books, biographies and such, can be of great help．

　　[6]The third and final step is to execute．Do what you planned．Take the steps you outlined on your road map and keep going on all the time．If you run into some people who are against you, simply ignore them．

　　[7]Never give up the goal．Keep pushing．Whatever you do, do not lose heart until you have what you desire in your hands．Never think that you can't turn your dream into a reality．

　　[1]Everyone has periods in his life when everything seems very hard, when there’s nobody to talk to and the mood is just getting worse and worse．There are some things that may help you lift up your mood．

　　[2]The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively．It is very hard, because usually when we feel depressed we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad character issues we have．But if you try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances of changing your mood into a better one are very good．_________．Instead, try to think only about the bright side of your life．Don’t forget：We are what we think we are．

　　[3]You should also try doing something only for yourself, something totally selfish．This could be something you wanted for a long time：maybe a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood．This doesn’t have to be extravagant or costly．The point of all these is being good to yourself．

　　[4]Giving presents to yourself can lift up your mood．What’s more, buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy．Think of your friends, families, relatives or even local charities, choose one person and give him a gift that doesn’t have to be something expensive or big．It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbor’s child．Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind．

　　[5]Meeting a positive person should be very useful．Just try to keep your problems off the conversation．The idea here is to get out of your shell and have some interaction．Get involved with someone else and your mind will take a turn as well．

　　Safety in the highway is not totally out of hands．Here are four ways we can protect ourselves when we travel．

　　You are safer in a large car．People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars．Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps．But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason of the problem．

　　Being thrown into glass and metal car parts, or being thrown from the car, can really damage to you．That’s why safety belts should be worn．The safety belt’s main purpose is _________ if your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object, or if it rolls over．A belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45％ and the chance of serious injury by 50％．

　　You Can Lead A Horse To Water, But You Can’t Make It Drink．This idiom refers to the fact that one can show the people around him the way to do things, he can offer good advice but he cannot force them to act or to make them take it．

　　It is the best way to suggest the fact that everybody has his own personality and the possibility to choose what he considers to be the best choice in his life no matter the circumstances．Very frequently we have come across the fact tha, best mend __________ and we try to give him the best dvice．As an outsider you can see things differently and you can be the best one to offer some advice．

　　Generally, people prefer to do things in their own way which they consider to be the best．But they need to learn from their mistakes even if they repeat the same mistake two or more times．On the other hand．we cannot force people to do what they don’t want to because each one of us has his own preferences and wishes in life．For example, parents cannot oblige their children to choose to study a certain job just because they want that．A person would choose what he thinks it matches with his own personality and ambitions because this is the only way he’d feel proud of his choice and he would enjoy what he does．

　　Therefore, we can say that our point of view is very important when making decisions that respect our life and our problems with the persons that surround us．And that, moreover, it is necessary to make mistakes because it is the best means to understand what we have done wrong and that we shouldn’t repeat it．

　　[1]There is a proverb saying that what your child does at 13 very much decides what he will be doing at 30．If he learn to hold his head high no matter what comes, he will certainly sow seeds of happiness, success and prosperity．Here are several ways to develop self-confidence in children．

　　[2]Be self-confident as a parent．Children learn by imitating(模仿)adults, and as parents are the ones who stay the most with the child, the child gets to become like his parents．A self-confident behavior on part of the parent unconsciously establishes self-confident nature in the child．So if he observes you staying lazy, not completing your tasks in time, getting confused at the last hour, he might never know the right way to handle situations．

　　[3]Give time to your baby, spending time with your baby is very important．It may be very tempting(诱人的)to put the baby in a day care centre and carry on with your day-to-day activities as a parent．You may have an excuse that, after all, you are working so that you can earn money to care for your child．However, what your child needs is you and your time．His treasures are the games _________, the long walks you take him on, the way you help with his studies, and the way you tell him what he means to you．This develops a sense of security in the child that makes him confident．

　　[4] Trust your child and give him small tasks to complete．Nothing is as great for a child as being given the responsibility to handle a task．He feels honored．His self-worth increases．Guide him to complete a task successfully and soon he will have his unique way of doing things．Encourage him and let him fly．You can make a difference in your child’s life if you treat him with love．

　　[1] Many students find it hard to make friends when they are in high school．Keeping my suggestions in mind may give you a hand．They certainly helped me, and by the end of my three years of high school I had formed my group of friends, with whom I still keep in touch now．

　　[2] Here are my tips：

　　[3] Say hello anytime I see an acquaintance(相识的人)．

　　Because I was always smiling and greeting the people I knew, people naturally thought I was friendly(though I am not naturally sociable)．And high school students want to be friends with sociable people．

　　[4] Take the first step．

　　All the girls there already knew each other－they didn't need another friend．But I did, so I had to make the effort．I had to be the first one to invite somebody to go to a movie with me，or come to my house．Once I did that they started to respond(回应)with the same thing．

　　[5] Use classes to get to know people．

　　I met most of my first friends because I sat next to them in class．Class(before, after, or even during class time)is a great opportunity to begin a conversation．For example, ask for help about homework．

　　[1]Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to Chinese students they always say, “My spoken English is poor．” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor” ．I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．

　　[2]First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive．Others will follow you as long as you use the words you know．

　　[3]Second, they are afraid of making mistakes．Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly．However, in speaking, your aim is fluency．You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense．But it doesn't matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．

　　[4]The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．

　　[5]Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor, If you have this proactive outlook, then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go．

　　[6]If you ________ beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know．Remember：USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more．

1．What does this passage mainly talk about?(no more than 9 words)

_____________________

2．Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 3．(no more than 4 words)

We should make it clear that when we speak English, our goal is ________ while we should pay attention to the grammar and spell correctly and use the right words in writing．
