Nightingale put it this way, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.Its as simple as that.”Dr.Maxwell Maltz, author of the classic PsychoCybernetics, said that human beings have a builtin goal seeking “success mechanism (機(jī)制)” that is part of the subconscious (潛意識的) mind.This success mechanism is constantly searching for ways to help us reach our targets and find answers to our problems.According to Maltz, we feel better when our success mechanism keeps going after clear targets.All we have to do to use this mechanism is give it a target.One important reason goal setters achieve such outstanding results is that they have learned how to focus and concentrate their time, energy and resources (資源) on a single goal, even though it is just for a few hours at a time.One major time management challenge we are facing today is that there are more things available for us to do than anyone could possibly attempt, let alone acplish, in an entire lifetime.If we are not careful, it is very easy to waste our time on unimportant things.Most significant acplishments are acpanied with difficulties, struggles and failures.Thomas Edison failed over one thousand times before he finally discovered a way to make the light bulb work.It is very rare for something important to be acplished successfully on the very first try.If you want to achieve anything significant, it is likely that you will struggle and fail many times before you finally reach your target.One of the main reasons why people give up so easily in the face of failure is that they lose sight of their “why”Goals can help you remember your “big why” when you need to pick yourself up and keep going in the face of difficult situations.語篇解讀：本文是一篇議論文。要想成功，我們要樹立目標(biāo)，并全身心地投入到目標(biāo)上，心中有目標(biāo)就不會輕言放棄。8Whats important in achieving success according to Paragraph 3?ASetting a realistic target.BConcentrating on your

what we do.DGoals lead to more difficulties or failures.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“One of the main reasons why people give up so easily in the face of failure is that they lose sight of their why”可知，樹立目標(biāo)可以防止我們輕易放棄。10What is the best title for the text?AHow to set goals?BHow can we succeed?CWhy should we set goals?DWhy should we keep

Reading faster isnt about finishing books without prehension or enjoyment. _11_ To do so, you need to change some bad reading habits.1Avoid sounding out the words in your head. Many people sound out the words as they read either by moving their lips or hearing the words in their head. _12_ This is because it only allows you to read the words as fast as you can say them, which isnt very fast at all.2_13_ Another mon practice which slows down reading speed hugely is the practice of reading each individual word separately. Instead, you should try to read in chunks (語塊)3Overe inefficient eye movement. When children learn how to read, they are taught to look at each word individually before moving onto the next. _14_ Therefore, this practice makes reading a lot less efficient.4Avoid distractions. Many people are slow readers simply because they often read in an inappropriate environment. If you want to read quickly and absorb the material in front of you, you need to avoid all kinds of distractions. Dont try to read in a loud environment. _15_ Read in a quiet, peaceful environment where reading is your only focus.AAvoid reading word by word.BDont read the same sentence two or three times.CIt wont improve your understanding of the material.DOtherwise, youll find yourself getting distracted and rereading paragraphs.EHowever, your eyes are able to take in much more than a single word at a time.FIts about learning to pick up the speed and still take in the information in an enjoyable way.GAlthough it is an effective way of teaching kids how to read, it is not beneficial to reading faster.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了通過改變不好的閱讀習(xí)慣提高閱讀速度的方法。11選FF項中的“Its about .”與上文的“Reading faster isnt about finishing books without prehension or enjoyment.”相呼應(yīng)。12選GG項中的it指代上文的“sound out the words as they read”。13選A由下文的“Another . reading each individual word separately . in chunks (語塊)”可知，本段主要是講要避免逐字閱讀。A項是對本段內(nèi)容的概括。14選EE項與上文的“l(fā)ook at each word individually before moving onto the next”是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。15選DD項與上文的“Dont try to read in a loud environment.”相呼應(yīng)，是上文產(chǎn)生的后果。
