21、   Overly focusing on your goals may actually be counterproductive in the long run. Take it from an Olympic athlete.

After Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, lost her balance in the 800-meter run, she lost the race that would qualify her for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “The track doesn’t care about your feelings,” she told New York Magazine Intelligence. “You’ve just got to move forward.” She did indeed move forward and ended up winning third place in the 1500-meter race a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.

Researchers from Harvard found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable outcomes often leads to risk-taking, improper behavior and reduced motivation.

When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what’s next. For example, some marathon runners experience what’s called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place.

“After you set a goal, it’s best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it; and to judge yourself based on how well you manage that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg said.

Ultimately, changing your mindset from goals to process will lead you to achieve small victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. It leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome.

【1】What does the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Influential.

B．Harmful.

C．Satisfying.

D．Unpredictable.

【2】What does the writer want to tell us by referring to Brenda Martinez’s story?

A．The ways to deal with failure.

B．The process matters more.

C．Determination means a lot for an athlete.

D．The consequence of making the right decision.

【3】Why may some marathon runners experience the “post-race blues”?

A．Because they are satisfied with their achievements.

B．Because they haven’t gained what they want.

C．Because they haven’t got a further plan.

D．Because they lose sight of their original purpose.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．How to set a long-term goal.

B．The way to realize your aim.

C．The benefits of fixing on the process.

D．How to shift your focus from goal to process.

22、   I'm terrible at giving myself grace. I'm a perfectionist, and I have unrealistic expectations for myself at times. I can remember simple errors I made. So often, we let perfection dominate our lives without even realizing it. 【1】 And I hope you'll consider doing that, too.

Realize that being burnt out doesn't mean that you're not good at what you do. I want to do my best in everything. The trouble starts when we overwork ourselves. 【2】 That's OK.

Taking a break. Most of all, I hope you prioritize your mental health. Take care of yourself. Be gentle with yourself.

No one is asking you to be perfect. We're all messy humans with strengths and weaknesses. Embrace yours, even when it isn't perfect. When you make mistakes, take responsibility and learn from them. Remember that this isn't the first or the last mistake that you've made. Give in to grace. Something might be a huge issue for me, other people probably won't notice or care.

【3】

Write it on your heart that whatever you do today is enough. It is easy to emphasize what we've yet to do instead of what we've already done. Yes, there is always room for growth and improvement. 【4】 Maybe you made your bed. Maybe you made it to work on time. Those things might not seem big, but they're still victories.

【5】 If you messed up today, you can try again tomorrow. If you succeeded today, you can try again tomorrow. You have to keep moving on into the rest of your story or you'll miss the train to bigger things than this. Start in your worry or your fear or your joy. Start wherever you are and keep going. Start with grace.

A．Your story isn't finished just yet.

B．That is meant much of our struggle is internal.

C．Then I've realized I need a little bit more rest.

D．You are supposed to aim high and work for it.

E．But there is room to celebrate the little victories.

F．I've decided to change that and give myself grace.

G．Remember that you can be perfect through your efforts.

23、Trees are able to defend themselves against diseases. They have both protective structures and protective processes. Thanks in large part to research done by Dr. Alex Shigo, we now know a great deal more about the way trees protect themselves than we did 50 years ago.

Just as our skin keeps harmful bacteria on the outside, bark (树皮) keeps out tree diseases. Since they can’t move around to avoid dangers, trees need thicker “skin” than we do. Living and non-living tissues protect tree trunks, roots, and branches from mechanical injury, drying out, and diseases.

But when something destroys this first line of defense — tears through the bark — what happens internally is interesting. When an injury occurs, a tree will transform some of its stored sugars to make masses of defensive chemicals, which are then distributed in a specific pattern internally around the wound. Dr. Shigo was the first to document this pattern, which he called CODIT — Compartmentalization (分室化) of Decay (腐烂) in Trees.

In making these CODIT compartments, trees form chemical walls to protect themselves from infection. The success of this walling-off process depends a lot on the species. Hard maple, for instance, can generate a strong CODIT response while species like soft maple achieve only an average level. Some, on the other hand, barely manage to form any chemical walls.

Overall tree vitality is another important factor. Even a hard maple may not be able to form strong chemical walls if it’s in a weak state. By definition, landscape trees are stressed as compared to their forest-living cousins. A street tree is worse off, faced with limited root space, air pollution, and more. The size of the injury also makes a difference. Even a healthy tree can have its defenses destroyed by a large wound.

Humans can help maximize trees’ defense capability by watering during dry seasons, keeping things out of the root zone, etc. In return, trees will help keep us in good health by offering shade, beauty, and companionship.

【1】What will happen first if diseases come close to trees?

A．Infection will occur internally.

B．Bark will provide protection

C．Chemical walls will take effect.

D．Defense chemicals will be formed.

【2】What does the author think of Dr. Shigo’s research?

A．Groundbreaking.

B．Conservative.

C．Ambiguous.

D．Straightforward.

【3】What does the author want to convey by mentioning hard maple in Paragraph 4?

A．Trees can form chemical walls

B．The size of the injury affects CODIT.

C．Trees cannot protect themselves if weakened.

D．The effectiveness of CODIT varies among species.

【4】What can most likely be the best title of the passage?

A．The gift of the trees.

B．The magic of CODIT.

C．The function of the bark.

D．The self-preservation of the trees.
