21、To be successful or fulfilled, we should plan steps and attach deadlines. Researches show that goals can get you to work harder, focus more and perform better.【1】Worse still, they can make you more likely to cheat, and less likely to thrive.

For most of us, goals are outcomes. Those who are motivated only by the desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they’re constantly anxious about the results of what they do. In fact, focusing on the outcome may make you even less likely to meet it.【2】It may be to learn to focus on process and forget the outcome entirely.

【3】That relates to the other risk of goalsetting: its focus. Research also shows that if they don’t really know how to complete the task, give them a goal that early on messes up their performance.

As an analysis outlines, when people were given performance-oriented goal, they acted in more competitive, selfish ways. Of course, it’s human nature to have aims, but we also may want to change our whole approach. Imagine the goal as a journey, which is about enjoying the movement, the particular challenges and the landscapes.【4】

So instead of focusing on where you want to be, set a goal based on the experience you want to have along the way. If you really want to find fulfillment, you have to do something else too. Give yourself over to your work, but let go of the outcome.【5】But it can be freer and more fulfilling.

A．Goals in themselves aren’t bad.

B．But they also can kill your creativity.

C．So instead of focusing on your goal, what is the key?

D．In other words, prioritize the journey not just the destination.

E．As a result, the people who focus less on their goal are more likely to meet it.

F．Research shows that tough, specific goals get better results than easy, vague ones.

G．That means living with fewer goals, and with purpose, direction and openness instead.

22、We all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. Now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with the EP Portable Heater. With over one million satisfied customers around the world, the new EP heats better and faster, saves more on heating bills, and runs almost silent.

The EP has no exposed heating parts that can cause a fire. The outside of EP only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

The EP will not reduce oxygen in the room. With other heaters, you’ll notice that you get sleepy when the heat comes on because they are burning up oxygen.

The advanced EP also heats the room evenly, wall to wall and floor to ceiling. it comfortably covers an area up to 350 square feet. Other heaters heat rooms unevenly with most of the heat concentrated to the center of the room. And they only heat an area a few feet around the heater. With the EP, the temperature will not vary in any part of the room.

The EP comes with a 3-year warranty(保修) and a 60-day, no questions asked, satisfaction guarantee. If you are not totally satisfied, return it to our expense and your money will be given back to you.

23、

In winter Hammerfest is a thirty-hour ride by bus from Oslo, though why anyone would want to go there in winter is a question worth considering. It is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in Europe, as far from London as London is from Tunis, a place of dark and cruel winters, where the sun sinks into the Arctic Ocean in November and does not rise again for ten weeks.

I wanted to see the Northern Lights. Also, I had long harboured a half-formed urge to

experience what life was like in such a remote and forbidding place. Sitting at home in England with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. But now as I picked my way through the grey, late-December slush（融雪） of Oslo I was beginning to have my doubts.

Things had not started well. I had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. I couldn't find a cab and had to drag my unreasonably overweighted bag eight blocks through slush to the central bus station. I had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate to cash sufficient traveller's cheques to pay the overcharged 1,200-kroner bus fare-they simply could not be made to grasp that the William McGuire Bryson on my passport and the Bill Bryson on my traveller's cheques were both me-and now here I was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, breathless and steaming from the endless uphill exertion（费力）that is my life, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation.

"This isn't happening," I said. "I'm still at home in England enjoying Christmas．Pass me a

drop more port, will you, darling?" Actually, I said, "There must be some mistake. Please look

again."

The girl studied the passenger list. "No, Mr Bryson, your name is not here·”

But I could see it, even upside-down. "There it is, second from the bottom.”

"No," the girl decided, "that says Bemt Bjornson. That's a Norwegian name·”

"It doesn't say Bernt Bjornson. It says Bill Bryson. Look at the loop（圆圈） of the 'y', the two

'I's. Miss, please." But she wouldn't have it. "If I miss this bus when does the next one go?"

"Next week at the same time．，，

Oh, splendid.

"Miss, believe me, it says Bill Bryson."

"No, it doesn't."

"Miss, look, I've come from England. I'm carrying some medicine that could save a child's

life.” She didn't buy this. "I want to see the manager."

"He's in Stavanger.”

"Listen, I made a reservation by telephone．If I don't get on this bus I'm going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects（前景）for the rest of this century." This clearly did not alarm her. Then it occurred to me. "If this Bemt Bjornson doesn't show up, can I have his seat?"

"Sure.”

Why don't I think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? "Thank you," I said, and dragged my bag outside.

【1】What words can best describe Hammerfest in winter?

A. Grey and dirty.

B. Dark and cold.

C. Unfriendly and expensive.

D. Wild and forbidden.

【2】Why did the author mention the Kreditkassen Bank on Karl Johans Gate?

A. To suggest that people there could be ridiculous and stubborn.

B. To introduce the cultural differences in northern Europe and England.

C. To give an example of an interesting story during his journey.

【3】What could be inferred from the passage?

A. The author booked his bus ticket with a Norwegian name.

B. The author paid the bus fare by traveller's cheque.

C. The author would hopefully get on the bus．

D. The girl at the ticket counter cared about the author's complaints.

【4】According to the last paragraph, the author probably felt＿at that moment.

24、Our culture has changed greatly as a result of the smartphone. We can get reassurance for every doubt by texting our friends or feel approval by getting “likes” on our social media. But heavy dependence on devices is responsible for a shift in how we regulate our emotions. A by-product of this instant communication is a decreased ability to sit with uncertainty.

Intolerance to uncertainty tends to cause a range of psychological difficulties. Psychologists consider a person’s over-dependence on their phones as a “safety seeking behaviour” which reduces anxiety in the moment. But over time, safety behaviours actually feed anxiety because they prevent people from realizing their fear has no basis once the situation has actually unfolded, or that it is something they’re able to deal with.

Learning to face uncertainty is essential to managing our mental health. Being more comfortable with uncertainty improves a person’s ability to deal with worry and is closely associated with improvement for those experiencing anxiety. When treating anxiety, psychologists encourage clients (客户) to sit without knowing the outcome of a particular situation and wait to see if what they are afraid of will happen. They gradually learn to let go of trying to control situations and realizes they can survive the uncertainty.

Using phones to push the worry onto another person prevents self-management from occurring. Often, we don’t realize that after a little while the unpleasant feeling will go away. Keep in mind the old saying that “no news is good news” and resist the tendency to message first. If something unpleasant happens, it is healthy to talk to someone and reflect on a situation that upsets us, especially if it is really important. However, to have this as the first option to manage every doubt is not healthy. Being able to wait and let go of the desire to control each situation is a major key to overcoming anxiety.

【1】What might be a consequence of relying on electronic devices too much?

A．Getting “likes” more easily.

B．Being able to sit attentively.

C．Sending text messages rarely.

D．Having trouble controling feelings.

【2】Why do the phone addicts feel anxious?

A．They realize their fear has no basis.

B．Their physical security is threatened.

C．They fail to judge the reality correctly.

D．Their safety isn’t guaranteed in the real world.

【3】What are the clients asked to do to treat anxiety?

A．Learn to face uncertainty.

B．Pay attention to the worries.

C．Keep in touch with psychologists.

D．Consider the outcome of a situation.

【4】What is the author’s advice to remove anxiety?

A．Wait and see.

B．Talk to someone.

C．Take control of it.

D．Let go of the past.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window.

The father asked his son, “What is this?’’ The son replied, “It is a crow.’’

After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just told you. It’s a crow!”

After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this?’’

At this time some expression of impatience was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father coldly. “It’s a crow, a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son for the fourth time, “What is this?”

This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’? Are you not able to understand this?”

A little while later, the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:

“Today my little son, aged three, was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not feel angry at all but I rather felt love for my curious son.”

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

After reading the diary, the son was filled with tears.
