25.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 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.
(1).Our long—term goals mean a lot ________.
A.if we put forward some plans
B.if we have dreams of the future
C.If we complete the short—term goals
D.If we cannot reach solid short—term goals
(2).New short—term goals are built upon ________.
A.your achievement in a week
B.the goals that have been completed
C.current activities
D.a daily basis
(3).When we complete each step of our goals, ________.
A.we will win final success
B.we should have strong desire for setting new goals
C.we should build up confidence of success
D.we are overwhelmed
(4).What is the main idea of this passage?
A.We should set up long—term goals.
B.The limitation of long—term goals.
C.Life is a dynamic thing.
D.Different kinds of goals in life.
(5).Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?
A.We should often add new short-term goals to those which have been completed.
B.The long—term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid
C.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.
D.Life is a static thing, thus we should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or
30.A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self—made man—the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(体力的)labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously(豪华地)furnished and in which there is every evidence of the face that the family has able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may word with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
(1).From paragraph 1, we know that in America _________.
A.people tend to have a high opinion of the self—made man
B.people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors
C.people can always rise to the top through their won efforts
D.college professors win great respect from common workers
(2).According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.
A.she takes pride in what she can do herself
B.she can hardly afford servants
C.servants in American are hard to get
D.It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
(3).The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.
A.work in a furniture shop
B.wait to lay the table
C.serve customers in a restaurant
D.keep accounts for a bar
(4).The author’s attitude towards manual(体力的) labor is _______.
A.positive
B.negative
C.humorous
D.critical
(5).Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage? ________.
A.The Development of Manual Labor
B.Characteristics of American Culture
C.American Attitude toward Manual Labor
D.A Respectable Self—made Family
35.Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One on One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching. That is, tutoring in math and English.
You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half—hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors—he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you’ve had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you’d like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge’s office this week.
