One day, while my friend and I was traveling through Germany, we were not very hungry but we only had a little money. We decided stop at a village market to buy something to eat. We choose the cheapest biscuits and ate it under a tree. We thought the biscuits were great. “Let’s got some more,” I said, “They’re cheap and they really taste well.” My friend could read some Germans, but I couldn’t, and I gave her the biscuit bag to find the name. She looked at it but started to laugh, “How are you laughing?” I asked. “Because they’re dog biscuits!” She said.  

Why is setting goals important?      71      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.    72   .It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Thank of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind which can be found 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, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?

     73     . They 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 .      74     . You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

     75     . Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract (合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particularly way, you are able to make yourself know situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

A. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it

B. Winners in life set goals and follow through

C. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are

D. It’s difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map

E. Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life.

F. By setting goals you are taking control of your life

G. Goals are difficult to set and they are difficult to reach.

The cheetah(獵豹)is best known for being the world’s fastest land animal, reaching speeds of just over 110kph for short period of time. However, many people know little else about this wonderful animal. The word cheetah probably comes from a Hindi word spotted animal. It is very similar to other cats but also has some obvious differences. Its body is much leaner than most cats and it has much longer legs.

People sometimes make a cheetah a leopard(美洲豹)because they both have spots, but in fact they are very different. A leopard is far heavier and more powerful, but also much slower. The cheetah’s spots cover most of its body except for its stomach and throat. The cheetah’s tail has spots and these become rings at the end of the tail.

An adult cheetah weighs between 35-65 kilograms and is about 80 centimeters high at the shoulder. The cheetah’s head is quite small and the eyes are quite high up. A black line runs from each eye down to its mouth and makes it look a little sad. It has high shoulders that help it to walk so gracefully.

Cheetahs are very fast but they are not very strong. They are not good fighters and will run away rather than fight another animal to protect their food. If they make a kill, it is sometimes taken away from them by stronger animals such as lions and leopard. These animals will kill their young if they get the chance. The cheetah is not a threat to humans at all. It will not attack humans and prefers to stay away from occupied areas.

Last year, on the night before the first day of the Spring Festival, Hugo Pang was sitting in his huge flat on Hong Kong Island. It was late in the evening, and Hugo was sipping a glass of his favorite French brandy, and listening to music on his huge, expensive music center. Pang lived alone, apart from the six maid who cooked and cleaned for him, and the chauffeur（私家司機） who drove his Rolls-Royce。

Suddenly, the room seemed to begin spinning around him. Then there was a flash of light and a puff of smoke, and before him Pang saw an old man dressed in traditional Chinese clothes. Pang looked at his brandy glass, and looked again at the old man. He was so frightened he couldn’t speak.

“Come with me,” said the old man, “I’m going to show you something.” He took Pang’s hand, and immediately the room disappeared, and Pang was standing in a field outside a village in Guangdong Province. The houses were small and the village was poor, but in front of him Pang saw a little crowd of children were playing. It was Spring Festival, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard from inside the village, while smoke rose over the roofs of the houses. Then, among the children playing, Pang recognized himself. “We were poor then,” he said, “but we were happier. We had to work hard to get everything we had.”

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.

　 People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else seems blurry. Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near-sighted. People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.

　 Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白內(nèi)障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

　 Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle. To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out of your other eye. You will find the object’s relation to the background and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distances as people with two eyes.

60. We should take good care of our eyes________.　　 .

A. only when we can see well　 B. only when we cannot see perfectly

C. even if we can see wel　　 D. only when we realize how important our eyes are

61.When things far away seem indistinct(模糊不清) , one is probably________.　　 .

A. near-sighted　 B. far-sighted 　　C. astigmatic　　 D. suffering from cataracts

62. The underlined word blurry in the second paragraph probably means_______.

A. obvious　　　 B. possible　　 C. clear　　 D. unclear

63. Having two eyes instead of one is particularly useful for_______　

A. seeing at night　 　　　　　 B. seeing objects far away

C. looking over a wide area　 　 D. judging distances
