There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.(人生有三种目标：短期目标、中期目标和长期目标。) 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.

A.we will win final success

C.we will build up our confidence to achieve success

D.we should have strong desire for setting new goals

A.Life is a dynamic thing.

B.We should set up long-term goals.

C.Different kinds of goals in life.

D.The limitation of long-term goals.

答案：C

15.Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _______

A.The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.

B.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.

C.Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.

D.We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.

答案：C

In a number of European countries，people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes，jewelry，food，toys，and many other things. Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden，for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries，and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels，and the French spend about $20 million a year to buy things through those channels. In Germany，until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness，including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things. Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities，this is an important reason. But at the same time，other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They can do teleshopping "junk on the air". Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them，and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV. The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person. (1)、Teleshopping is cheap in Europe. A：T B：F 答案：B (2)、People like teleshopping because it is easier. A：T B：F 答案：A
