【題目】Five Facts about Goal Setting

These practical tips on goal setting can help make it easier to set and reach goals:

【1】 When it comes to making a change, the people who succeed are those who set goals possible to achieve. “I’m going to recycle all my plastic bottles, soda cants, and magazines” is a

much more doable goal than “ I’m going to do more for the environment.” And that makes it easier to stick with.

【2】 It will probably take a couple of months before any changes —like getting up half an hour earlier to exercise —become a routine(日常的) part of your life. That’s because your brain needs time to get used to the idea that this new thing you’re doing is part of your regular routine.

【3】 Say your goal out loud each morning to remind yourself of what you want and what you’re working for. Every time you remind yourself of your goal, you’re training your brain to make it happen.

【4】 The key to making any change is to find the strong wish within yourself —you have to do it because you want it, not because a girlfriend, boyfriend, coach, parent, or someone else wants you to. It will be harder to stay on track and encouraged if you’re doing something out of duty to another person.

【5】 Mistakes are actually part of the learning process as you retrain your brain into a new way of thinking. It may take a few tries to reach a goal. But that’s OK—it’s a normal to mess up or give up a few times when trying to make a change. So remember that everyone makes mistakes and don’t beat yourself up about it. Just remind yourself to get back on track.

A. Making mistakes doesn’t mean failure.

B. It takes time form a habit.

C. Bad habits are hard to give up.

D. Repeating a goal makes it stick.

E. Specific, realistic goals work best.

F. Pleasing other people doesn’t work.

【5】A

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章講述了實現(xiàn)目標的五要素，掌握它們會幫助你更輕松容易的達到你的目標。

【1】E根據(jù)下文的舉例“我將要回收我的飲料瓶、易拉罐、和雜志”，“這比我將要為環(huán)境做貢獻”這種目標更容易堅持。因此具體的，現(xiàn)實的目標效果最好。故選E。

【2】B根據(jù)下文：在做任何改變之前這將會花費將近一兩月的時間，比如每天早晨早起一個小時去鍛煉，并讓它變成你生活中的慣例。因此可知要去建立起習(xí)慣是要花很長時間的。故選B

【3】D根據(jù)下文：每天早晨大聲說出你的目標并且提醒自己什么是你想要的，你工作是為了什么（寫下來也有用）每次你用目標來提醒自己，你對大腦的訓(xùn)練才會管用。這一段在講要不停的重復(fù)一個目標并且堅持。故選D。

【4】F根據(jù)下文：關(guān)鍵在于做出任何改變是要發(fā)掘你自己內(nèi)在的欲望，你不得不去做這件事是因為你想要，不是因為你的女朋友，男朋友，教練，父母或者某個人讓你去這樣做。這一段在說求助于他人無效。故選F。

【5】A最后一段主要講遇到障礙并不意味著失敗。錯誤往往是學(xué)習(xí)過程中的一部分，所以要記住每次犯的錯誤，不要以此打擊自己。故選A。
