The quest for success always begins with a target．As Berra once said，“You got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going，because you might not get there．”
Too many people wander through life like sleepwalkers．Each day they follow familiar routines，never asking，“What am I doing with my life?’’and they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack goals．
Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a certain direction．Begin with a clear conception of what you want．Write down your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them．Rather than concentrating on objects to acquire and possess，focus on fulfilling your desires to do，to produce，to contribute—goal-setting that yields the true sense of satisfaction we all need．
It’s important to visualize(想象)yourself accomplishing your goal．While losers visualize the penalties(不利)of failure，winners visualize the rewards of success．I’ve seen it among athletes，statistics contrasting air and highway safety，but it made no difference．I had read too many articles describing crash scenes and imagined these scenes vividly．I had programmed myself，without realizing it，to stay off planes．
Then one summer I had the opportunity to fly on a private plane with friends to a resort；I didn’t want to miss out on a great vacation．So I spent two weeks imagining a smooth flight on a beautiful sunny day and an easy landing．
When the day arrived，I was eager to go．To everyone’s surprise，I got on the plane and I loved every minute of it，and I still use the techniques I employed that day．
【小題1】According to the passage，if you want to be successful，the first thing for you to do is .
A．find the right methods B．be careful about everything
C．know your ability D．have a clear goal
【小題2】If you have a target，you will .
A．wander like a sleepwalker B．know well what you are doing
C．do the same work every day D．put it into words
【小題3】The problem with the author before he overcame his fear of air travel is that .
A．he didn’t know air travel is safer than highway travel
B．he couldn’t imagine himself accomplishing his goal
C．he read too much about plane crashes and tried to avoid flying
D．he wanted to take a private plane instead of a public one
【小題4】What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Define Your Coal
B．Visualize Rewards of Success
C．Overcome The Fear of Air Travel
D．Sleepwalking Through Life

科目：高中英語 來源：2011屆湖南省長沙市第一中學高三第四次月考英語卷 題型：閱讀理解
A 26-year-old Montreal man appears to have succeeded in his quest to barter a single， red paper clip(夾子) all the way up to a house. It took almost a year and 14 trades， but Kyle MacDonald has been offered a two-storey farmhouse in Kipling， Sask.， for a paid role in a movie.
MacDonald began his quest last summer when he decided he wanted to live in a house. He didn’t have a job， so instead of posting a resumé， he looked at a red paper clip on his desk and decided to trade it on an Internet website. The response was immediate —a fish pen was offered for exchange. MacDonald then bartered the fish pen for a handmade doorknob from a potter in Seattle.
In Massachusetts， MacDonald traded the doorknob for a camp stove. He traded the stove to a U.S. soldier in California for a generator. Then he exchanged the generator for an “instant party kit” — an empty keg(小桶) and an illuminated Budweiser beer sign. MacDonald then traded the keg and sign for a snowmobile. He bartered all the way up to an afternoon with rock star Alice Cooper， a KISS snow globe and finally a paid role in a Corbin Bernsen movie.
“Now， I’m sure the first question on your mind is， ‘Why would Corbin Bernsen trade a role in a film for a snow globe？ A KISS snow globe，’ MacDonald said on his website.”Well， Corbin happens to be arguably one of the biggest snow globe collectors on the planet.
Now， the town of Kipling， Sask.， Canada， with a population of 1,100，has offered MacDonald a farmhouse in exchange for the role in the movie. The town is going to hold a competition for the movie role.
MacDonald said： “There’re people all over the world that are saying that they have paper clips clipped to the top of their computer， or on their desk or on their shirt， and it proves that anything is possible and I think to a certain degree it’s true.”
MacDonald， who has attracted international media attention in his quest， said the journey has turned out to be more exciting than the goal. “This is not the end. This may be the end of this part of the story， but this story will go on.”
【小題1】The best title for this passage is “ ”.
| A．A lucky paper clip | B．From poor to rich |
| C．A lucky young man | D．From paper clip to house |
| A．to get something for free | B．to sell something at a price |
| C．to sell goods on the Internet | D．to exchange goods for other goods |
| A．Paper clip?snow globe?snowmobile?house |
| B．Paper clip?keg of beer?doorknob?snowmobile |
| C．Paper clip?camp stove?snowmobile?movie role |
| D．Paper clip?keg of beer?camp stove?snowmobile |
| A．All of his trades were done in his country. |
| B．A film role was offered due to Bernsen’s hobby. |
| C．They took over a year and some of them were really unbelievable. |
| D．The house in Kipling has been offered to MacDonald to attract media. |
| A．He wanted to gain fame through his quest. |
| B．His success largely depended on the Internet. |
| C．He never expected his aim could be achieved. |
| D．He intends to begin another quest on the Web. |
