Florence Chadwick was a great swimmer. However, not all of her efforts worked out. In addition to working hard, she had a secret for success. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. However, in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense that she could hardly see her support boats. Her body was numb(麻木) and she had been swimming for nearly 16 hours. Against the cold grip of the sea, she struggled on—hour after hour—while millions watched on national television. Alongside Florence, in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had… until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out. Still warming her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal. Two months later, she tried again. Despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact（未受影响的）and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!

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。

The Beaver and Its Goal

Last fall there was a beaver moving in the small stream beside our house. He immediately began taking down small trees, and within a couple of weeks our small stream turned into a small pond. Every day he added more to his dam and to his house.

With the stream now dammed up and his house built, we thought that would be the last of the beaver’s busy activity as winter set in. But ,to our amazement, he started chewing on a very large maple tree. Over the winter, when the weather allowed, he kept coming back and would chew a bit more.

With spring finally arriving, we went down to see the beaver’s progress and sure enough the tree was going to come down soon! The beaver’s original goal was to build a home for the winter. Working every day with that particular focus in mind, he achieved that goal. But the large maple tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal----he wanted the large tree for the spring, to provide new food and branches to continue damming in anticipation of the spring thaw. And ,even with the setbacks he faced over the winter, he never gave up.

Sometimes we have a goal to just survive, but we also need to set goals for tomorrow. It is also very important that when faced with setbacks in achieving a goal, you need to stay focused and don’t let the setbacks discourage you.
