Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen.

Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals(both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their aims(目标). By setting goals you are taking control of(控制) your life. Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (his goal) which is laid out for him on a map. He can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. He starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but he drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through with them. Winners 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 arent difficult to set, and they arent difficult to reach. Its up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to do and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to, get it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly(经常地), and have more power. Like a contract(合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect(忽视) or forget.

1. What is the main idea of this passage? ____.

A. Success is possible only when a person has clearly set his goals

B. Winners never stop their efforts for success

C. Failure always comes along with the people who give up easily

D. As long as you set goals, you will succeed

2. The author gave the example of two drivers to show ____.

A. the cleverness of the first driver

B. the importance of having a map and right direction

C. the foolishness of the second driver

D. the importance of setting goals

With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone (克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). Thats a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noahs Ark”(诺亚方舟).

Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated(估计) that as many as 2,000 speciesof animals will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure(过程) could take from three to five years to complete.

“The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort.” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

“They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.”

1. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of ____.

A. available panda eggs B. host animals

C. qualified researchers D. enough money

2. The aim of “Noahs Ark” project is to ____.

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study

D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

3. From the passage we know that ____.

A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

B. scientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand species will probably die out in a century

4. The best title for the passage may be ____.

A. Chinas Success in Pandas Cloning

B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. Chinas Success in Pandas Cloning

5. What does the underlined word “extinct” in the second paragraph mean?____.

A. Alive B. Active

C. The state of dying out D. Fewer

Recently， a professor of philosophy(哲学) in the United States has written a book called Money and the Meaning of Life． He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has more meaning than we usually think． One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a record of every penny they spend for a week． From the way they spend their money， they can see what they really value in life．

He says our relations(关系) with others often become clearly defined(定义) when money enters the picture． You might have a wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends． But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money． If he does， it brings to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before． Or it can suddenly weaken the relationship if he doesnt． This person may say that he has a certain feeling， but if it is not carried out in the money world， there is something less real about it．

Since money is so important to us， we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very important. The author(作者) interviewed(采访) some millionaires in researching his book.

Question：What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich， because you are a self-made man?

Answer：The most surprising thing is why people give me so much respect． I am nothing． I dont know much. All I am is rich.

People just have an idea of making more and more money， but what is it for? How much do I need for any given purposes in my life? In this book， the professor uncovered an important need in modern society; to bring back the idea that money is an instrument rather than an end． Money plays an important role in the material world， but expecting money to give happiness maybe miss the meaning of life.

1. What can we learn about the millionaire from his answer in the interview? ____.

A． He doesnt feel that he is well educated

B． He doesnt think that he is a very important person

C. He doesnt think that being rich deserves(应得到) so much attention

D． He doesnt consider himself to be very successful

2. According to the first paragraph， people have not realized ____.

A． how important money is in their day-to-day life

B． how one spends money shows what is important to him

C． that money is more important than their philosophy of life

D. that their understanding of life is more important than money

3. What does the American professor of philosophy want to explain in his book? ____.

A． Money is an end B. Money is a means

C． Money is everything D． Money is unimportant

4. The author seems to believe that asking your friend to lend you some money ____.

A． is a good way to test your friendship

B． will do harm to your friend
