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．1ong-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 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)

Passage 3
Britain and France are separated by the English Channel，a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes．But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart．
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the l00th anniversary(周年纪念)of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality．The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate 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 expressed 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 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．
Whatever the answer is，as both sides celebrate 100 years of“doubtful friendship”，they are at 1east able to make jokes about each other．Here’s one：What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel．(320 words)
21．For centuries，the relationship between Britain and France is . A．friendly B．impolite
C．brotherly D．a mixture of love and hate
22．The war in Iraq does to the relationship between France and Britain. A．good B．harm
