26、Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories (类别):

Education—will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?

Family—What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members?

Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?

Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?

Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

To help make the process more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can be changed as time goes on. But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.

A．To have a better future.

【2】What should you consider when you set a family goal?

A．The education you want to get.

B．The job to support your family.

C．The time you’ll spend reaching your goal.

D．The relationship with family members.

【3】What’s the best advice to achieve the main goal?

A．Dividing your goals into smaller tasks.

B．Creating a daily To-Do List of things.

C．Building the self-confidence.

D．Setting the time to achieve the main goal.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Once you set your goals, they can’t be changed.

B．Not all the people can get success by setting goals.

C．Enjoying success in one goal can help you do better in the next one.

D．Ways to achieve goals.

27、Chances are you’re quite bored of your home by now. Oh sure, you know how lucky you are, if you have a warm and comfortable place to live when so many don’t. But a person could live in a full-on palace and still, at this point in a generation-defining global pandemic, think, “If I have to spend one more day looking at this cornicing (榐板) and those enormous wall sconces (壁式烛台), I will genuinely hurl myself off the balcony.” So allow me to share the greatest tip of all time for making your home more fun: get some wallpaper.

People are very cautious about wallpaper, especially the patterned type. I didn’t fully understand this until my partner and I were house–hunting half a decade ago, after we found out I was expecting twins. Off we went to look at family houses and, while the prices were horrific, the houses were, to my mind, even worse. That’s not fair: they were perfectly fine, but there was something about them that sent me plunging into a low-grade depression. I tried to explain it to the increasingly frustrated estate agents: maybe they were dark? Or they just had a bad atmosphere? Were the ceilings too low? At last, I understood: every house I looked at was painted all white or–worse!–dull grey. Literally, every single one, and I assume the people who lived in them thought they looked fashionable and safely neutral. To me they brought back memories of teenage years spent in a psychiatric unit (精神病病房).

“Safely neutral”: has there ever been a more depressing template (样板) for a home? “Safely neutral” is timidity, the decorating equivalent of a fear of letting yourself have fun in case people laugh at you, or a refusal to state an opinion in case you get it wrong. How so many people can bear to live like that is beyond my comprehension. I know not everyone is a maximalist, but I find it puzzling that people won’t commit to patterned wallpaper because they worry they’ll get tired of it, yet paint their home in the most boring shades possible. Be your fearless self! Make your stamp! If not on the world, then at least on your walls.

By the time we moved into our (entirely white, God help me) house, I was a month away from giving birth to two surprisingly big boys. I could no longer walk, but this in no way broke my stride when it came to sorting out the wallpaper. This was a home I hoped to live in for the next two decades, so I went all out and spent so much on wallpaper that we couldn’t really afford furniture for a while.

【1】It can be learned from paragraph 2 that ________.

A．the estate agents finally figured out why the author didn’t like the houses

B．the unaffordable housing prices sent the author into a minor depression

C．the houses the author was hunting turned out to be disappointingly uniform

D．the teenager experience of being in a psychiatric unit troubled the author

【2】What does the author think of “safely neutral”?

A．It may bring about ridicule from others.

B．It will make a home much less depressing.

C．It is too abstract for people to understand.

D．It robs us of the chance to pursue pleasure.

【3】The underlined sentence in paragraph 3 can be best illustrated as ________.

A．throwing away the apple due to the core

B．dealing with a man as he deals with you

C．killing two birds with one stone

D．cherishing imaginary or groundless fears

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A．To highlight the vital importance of wallpaper.

B．To reveal how to add color to home decoration.

C．To indicate why people tend to get depressed.

D．To explain what safe neutrality is all about.

25 Sep

Next week I’m travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to keep this blog to record my experiences and what I learn. I have already done some   r【1】 on the country. Located to the south of the e【2】 , below many other countries on the globe, it’s often informally referred to as “down under”.

I have also read about some i【3】 sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road, and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can’t w【4】 to see all of them! However, as I major in social studies, I’m more interested in meeting people in Australia and e【5】 their culture, food, and way of life.

1 Oct

I’m here in Sydney! Since I arrived, my friend has b【6】 me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me, so my first i【7】 of Australia have been all about food! A lot of t【8】 Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally British. Bakeries, fast-food joints, butcher shops, cafes, and restaurants everywhere p【9】 some of the premier food experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand, led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian v【10】 of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sum.
