Passage 2
There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.
Short-term 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 possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much 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 build on the foundation of the short-term 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-term 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.(221 words) 16.
Our long-term goals mean a lot ___________ . A. If we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. If we complete the short-term goals C. If we have dreams of the future D. If we put forward some plans
' s manners

Passage 3

Channel, a body of water that of the two countries sometimes
seem to be miles apart.
th
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100 anniversary （周年纪念）
of the signing of a friendship The agreement agreement called the Entente Cordiality. marked a new beginning for partnership.
But their relationship
has been ups and downs over the
past century.
Just last
year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British
Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against
it. This discomfort is express ed in Blair and Chirac ' s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor
Gerhard Schroeder with a hug （拥抱）,Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys （调查） show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a
the countries following centuries
of wars and love-hate
third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France
' s close relationship with Germany, or
because the French are not happy with Britain ' s close links with the US.
