第四部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
The intermediate goals are built on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.
Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.
56. Our long-term goals mean a lot__.
A) if we complete our short-range goals

It might sound ridiculous that goal setting could actually hold you back from completing tasks and dreams you may have. But it seems like everyone tells you should be setting goals for everything you want to accomplish, short term and long term. Goals can help you sometimes, but in some cases they just lead to constant frustration and they actually bring you down.
Let’s look at this a little closer with an example. A lot of people might set forth as a goal. Many people jump online and are looking to start a business online as a way to make money from home and let’s say they set a goal to make $10,000 in their first month. They do this because they seem tons of people making large sums of money in very little time so they think, $10,000 a month, that shouldn’t be too hard.
But what happens when you only bring in $1,000 in your first 30 days online? If this is pure profit you might still be happy but this is nowhere near reaching the goal you originally set out to meet. So naturally you would feel like you failed to reach your goal and you may be a little disappointed in yourself.
If you continue not to reach this goal month in month , it starts to add up and really weighs on you. I’m not saying that they are bad and you shouldn’t set them but you need to realize that you should not be emotionally attached to your goals.
An alternative approach would be to set certain milestones for when you want to accomplish things and start out small. Build your confidence by accomplishing smaller feats and if you overproduce, then it will be a nice surprise. You have to have some sort of end result in mind but break it down in to a day by day task. It makes it a lot easier for you to handle by just knowing everyday you have to complete a few small tasks and over time the snowball will roll into great things.
【小題1】The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A．show that it’s necessary to set goals
B．prove the disadvantages of setting goals
C．suggest way of setting goals to reach success
D．introduce how to reach success by setting high goals.
【小題2】In Paragraph 2 , the writer used the example to _______.
A．persuade readers not to be greedy for money
B．prove that goals often result in frustration.
C．show goal setting sometimes stops you realizing your dreams
D．a(chǎn)dvise readers not to set goals to avoid frustration
【小題3】According to the passage, always sticking to our goals is ______.
A．important B．unnecessaryC．ridiculousD．natural
【小題4】What belief does the writer most probably hold?
A．The higher goals we set, the more success we’ll achieve
B．Goal setting is not always necessary and helpful
C．We shouldn’t set higher goals than other people
D．Goals should be set for short term and long term.
【小題5】What information will probably be provided following the last paragraph?
A．Another helpful tip for setting goalsB．Benefits of setting small goal
C．Side effects of goal settingD．Success achieved without goal setting.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.

Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them reach their vision. 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 is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget.

Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion, you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goals. 

1. The example of the two drivers is given to show_____________.

A．the importance of having a map and right direction

B．the significance of setting goals

C．the foolishness of the second driver

D．the foolishness of the first driver

2. If people want to reach their goals, they should _______________.

A．note down their goals

B．discuss with others and ask for their help

C．face the difficulties in front of them

D．sign a contract with other people

3. What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Failure always accompanies the people who gives up easily.

B．Whenever you set goals, you will succeed.

C．Winners never stop their efforts for success.

D．Success is possible only when a person has set his or her goal clearly.
