What will you do to make sure you reach your goals? There are 1 main steps .

First, sit down and 　2 your dreams out. By writing them you will get a better idea of where you really want to go. Imagine yourself at the end of the year or maybe 3　 five years. What do you see? 4 do people see you? What are you doing? Are you 　5　?

Well, a dream is just that. It’s a vision (远见) of how you 　6　 yourself in the future. As long as you know the direction in which you want to go, you can begin 　7　 some goals.

8 come the goals. Goals are ‘wants’. So are dreams, but goals are more specific (具体的). If you want to be rich, tell how much 9 you need to be rich. If you want 　10 grades, tell what you mean by ‘good’. In fact, the more specific the goal is, the 　11　 it will be to get it. Give numbers and times. Don’t use words like ‘lots’ or ‘more’. 　12, I want a ‘B’ in each of my subjects.

Third are the objectives (目标). They tell 　13　 what you will do and when you will do it. When you think about what you will do, don’t use words like ‘　14　’ or ‘maybe’. Be sure your objectives can be measured (估量). Every day or every week you can ask, ‘Did I 　15　 this?’ and you can answer with either a yes or a no. Don’t leave room for ‘maybes’.

The human body is a living machine, and, like all machines, it needs “fuel” to supply it with energy. This is provided by the food we eat. But how much do we need to stay healthy?

The energy value of food is usually measured in calories(卡). A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1℃. The number of calories people need per day is different, as the picture shows. Also, the number of calories you use at any one moment normally depends on the activity you are in. For example, you need more calories for standing than for sitting, more for running than for walking, and so on.

The energy in food is in the form of three kinds of chemical materials—carbohydrate（碳水化合物）, protein（蛋白质） and fat. Carbohydrate provides 3.8 Cal /gm of the energy, protein 4.0 Cal/gm, and fat 8.8 Cal/gm. Each food contains different amounts of these materials, as the round pictures show.

(P= protein      C= carbohydrate    F=fat)

1.How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 5kg of water from 35℃ to 90℃?

A．55.

B．175.

C．325.

D．275.

2.Which of the following contains the most amount of calories?

A．Milk.

B．Rice

C．Peanuts.

D．Milk or peanuts.

3.Who needs the most amount of calories each day?

A．A woman.

B．An office worker.

C．A farmer.

D．A boy aged 16.

4.Which of following is True?　　

A．You need more calories for swimming than for mountain climbing.

B．A child aged 8 needs the same amount of calories every day as a man over 70 does.

C．A woman feeding baby needs over 4 times the amount of calories that a baby does.

D．Everyone needs the same amount of calories per day.

5.This passage mainly tells us ______.

A．all the energy is in food

B．the human body needs energy

C．the number of calories depends on your activity

D．we must only eat peanuts to get calories

 

A student newspaper reports that most students go to sleep at 1:30 am. Even if that’s an overstatement (夸张), it’s close to the truth. Scientists say teens should sleep nine hours each night. But that’s hard. Some are even “pulling all-nighters” (开夜车). These students must hand in their homework the next day but they haven’t done it. In the morning they don’t look healthy and you can tell who’s been doing it. One of my classmates did a survey on the topic. She found that most kids pull all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer games!
Maybe our lack(缺乏) of sleep is because of laziness — I think I’m a rather lazy student — or maybe it’s because we have too much to do in American high schools. I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1:30 am, I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 am. I’m partly awake in my first class. By the second, I’m a little sleepy. By my third class, I’m sleepy. By midday I’m finally fully awake. But by 3:00 pm, I’m slowing down again. Yet I get more sleep than usual students.
Most American high schools seem to have a similar(相似的) problem with sleepy students. High school classes start at 7:30 am, so students have to get up one and a half hours before that to get ready and catch the bus. It’s believed that lack of sleep can be bad for both grades and health. Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 am.
【小题1】What does the underlined sentence “it’s close to the truth” mean?

A．It doesn’t tell the truth.	B．It is quite true.
C．It is impossible.	D．I don’t think it’s right.

【小题2】Why do most of the teens have to stay up late?

A．They play computer games.	B．They watch videos late.
C．They have to do a lot of housework.	D．They have to do a lot of homework.

【小题3】When do students in most American high schools have to get up?

A．At 7:30 am.

B．At 6:00 am.

C．At 9:00 am.

D．At about 7:00 am.

【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the reading?

A．The writer usually stays up past 1:30 am.

B．The writer usually goes to bed around midnight.

C．The writer usually does a survey.

D．Many American students don’t get enough sleep, so they can have high grades.

【小题5】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．Something has to be done to solve the problem of students’ lack of sleep.

B．Many American high school students are sleepy in class.

C．Many kids have too much homework to do.

D．Students can’t play computer games.

An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London. “What’s that strange building?” asked the visitor. “That’s the Tower of London.” “I see.
