A
Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen. Successful and happy people imagine how their life should be and they set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It's like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind(her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver. But she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and at what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly(有规律地), and have more power. Like a contract(合同)with yourself, they are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in a specific way you are able to make yourself always aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals. 26. The writer gave the example of two drivers to show . A. the importance of setting goals B. the foolishness of the second driver C. the importance of having a map D. the foolishness of the first driver
27. According to the article, the most important thing in realizing one's dream is to . A. try to make others know his or her ability very well
B. have a clear understanding of what he or she wants in life C. let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true D. let others understand him or her first, then work with him or her
28. According to the article, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because ·
A. the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves
B. the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard C. the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others D. the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out 29. According to the article, if you want to succeed, you must . A. study hard B. have a goal and achieve it C. live happily D. experience everything

Caroline Benson talks about her first TV role
I never expected to spend some of my first year at university filming The Finnegans. I'd only ever acted at school, but I'd loved the book since I was eleven. My grandmother used to say I was just like Polly Finnegan and I always imagined myself playing her.
I'd taken a year off to go travelling before university. While I was in Chile(智利), my mother emailed me to say there were plans to turn the book into a TV drama. I knew I had to go for the part. She was surprised at first, but sent my photo to the director and asked him to meet me. I flew back and got the part.
The outdoor filming started a week into term, so I got permission(同意)from the university to

be away for three weeks. Once I was back at university, I got up at 6.00 a.m. to write essays(论文)I'd missed. I didn't tell my university friends, but they found out and thought it was great.
It was an amazing experience-I'm so lucky. After university, I surely want to make acting my work. I'm not from an acting family, though my grandfather was an opera singer. I've tried for other TV parts but haven't received any offers yet.
I don't know how I managed it all, because I had a full social life too. When filming finished, I hardly knew what to do. I've since appeared in two college plays.

Bono, the lead singer of U2, a popular Irish rock band, once said that \"music can change the world because it can change people.\" This is what a group of music therapists(治疗专家)here are trying to do with autistic(自闭症的)children in Nepal. \"Music therapy can be helpful to children with autism(自闭症).The greatest challenge is to build trust in the relationship between the therapist and the child,\" Kendra Gandharba, a music therapist told Xinhua Wednesday as Nepal joined the world in celebrating Autism Awareness Day.
When Rahul was three years old, he was still unable to speak and to interact(互动)with people. It was only then that his mother realized that there was something wrong with her son. After talking with doctors she came to know that Rahul, now six years old, is an autistic child. Experts(专家)believe that the autism spectrum disorder(自闭症谱系障碍)presents itself in the first three years. The condition is the result of a neurological(神经病学的)disorder that has an influence on usual brain function(功能).It influences social interaction and communication skills. Several studies suggest that children with autism show their feelings and take part in activities

with others during music therapy lessons. Now there are 15 autistic children getting better from the power of music through the lesson every week in Nepal. \"With music therapy we work on five developmental areas: communication, awareness, motor movement, social skills and feelings,\" Gandharba, one of Nepal's music therapists, explained.
In the music therapy room, Xinhua met Shyam as he sat in front of the keyboard. Smiling at the therapist, the 10-year-old boy started playing the keyboard. Playing and sharing instruments, taking part in music games and singing are just a few ways through which the therapist tries to interact with autistic children. Autistic children are free to pick the musical instrument of their choice.
Music therapy, however, is still at an embryonic stage in Nepal where autism remains a taboo(禁忌)in the country's rural areas(郊区).\"In villages I have seen people with mental or physical disabilities being treated like animals,\" Gandharba said, adding that efforts should be made to introduce music therapy in Nepal's rural areas.
The organization, Autism Care Nepal(ACN), hosted different events on World Autism Awareness Day to educate, create awareness among parents about the rights of children with autism.

To attract them to play music games. D. To make them willing to believe in therapists. 35. The underlined word \"embryonic\" in the fifth paragraph probably means “ ”. A. early B. easy C. active D. amazing 36. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The autistic children learn how to interact with each other during music therapy lessons. B. The autistic children learn how to show their own feelings during music therapy lessons. C. The music therapy can enable every autistic child to play musical instruments well. D. The music therapy can improve the communication skills of children with autism. 37.

A. Music can change the world because it can change people. B. Music therapy may be useful to children with autism in Nepal. C. Efforts should be made to introduce music therapy in rural areas.

Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon.
There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage(短缺)-chocolate's growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.
Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What's worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.
To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time. First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre's fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they're disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.
To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Control Centre are combining(结合)the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!
53. In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?(1分)
54.How long does it take scientists at the Control Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?(2分)
55. If you are a cocoa farmer in Africa, will you continue to grow cocoa? Why or why not? (3分) 七、书面表达(满分20分)
