You can be certain that every one of those students had repeatedly heard the value of goal setting. Yet only 3% actually wrote down their goals consistently. Imagine what you can do if you both write down your goals and, then, focus on them consistently, until they are acplished! What is it that causes the New Year39。s Resolution Syndrome? People make resolutions, work hard at them for a few weeks, maybe even a few months, and then forget them. Next year, they make the same New Year39。s resolutions. That is the syndrome. So why do so many people do it? They may be making goals that are too global, and too unrealistic. The elephant analogy (比喻) is still the best one I know of to illustrate good goal setting. How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time. So it is with goals. Make spoon size goals and acplish them easily. Once you39。ve mastered this, get a bigger spoon! You may have too many people in your life who consciously or subconsciously are unwilling or unable to support you to reach your goals. Surround yourself with people who want you to have what you want for yourself. Support each other and you39。ll all achieve your highest goals. We must be careful not to confuse busyness with progress. Be selective about how you use your time and what you focus on. Success often es when you know what to leave out, rather than what to include in your life. Goal setting is like the pig and chicken who were out for a walk in town early one morning. The chicken became really excited when she saw a sign that said Ham amp。 Eggs, $. She said to the pig, Look, we39。ve got double billing again. The pig grunted and said, That39。s all right for you to say. For you, it39。s all in a day39。s work. For me, it39。s total mitment. Goal setting is all in a day39。s work. Goal achievement is total mitment.（1）What can we learn from Paragraph 1? Harvard students know the importance of setting goals. down goals is unhelpful in achieving them. very small percentage of Harvard students can succeed. working on goals eventually leads to victory.（2）What can we know about New Year39。s resolutions? are really difficult to achieve. people give them up halfway. should be different from year to year. people make no effort to achieve them.（3）According to the elephant analogy, when setting goals, we should . for others39。 advice great and worthy goals a big goal into smaller pieces to the goals we set earlier（4）What does the story of the pig and chicken imply? is not built in one day. the cat is away, the mice will play. early bird catches the worm. of a feather flock together.（5）What can be the best title for this passage? only work when you do! contribute to success! to make New Year39。s resolutions for setting realistic goals【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A（5）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述只有很少的人能夠堅持寫下自己的目標，而這部分人是最成功的，同時也說明了實現(xiàn)目標需要注意的幾個方面：第一，學(xué)會分解目標；第二，找到能夠支持自己的人；第三，不要混淆忙碌與進步；第四，目標設(shè)定很容易，但是實現(xiàn)目標是一個長期的過程。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“A Harvard study of their graduates over thirty years found that there were only a small percentage (3%) of them who actually wrote down their goalsand these were the most successful!”可知，只有3%的人能夠?qū)懴伦约旱哪繕?，而這些人是最成功的，故可以推測出，只有不斷堅持，朝目標前進的人才能成功，故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“People make resolutions, work hard at them for a few weeks, may
