       Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen．

       Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed．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 this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind 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 without an aim 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．Winners 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 and ideals（理想） really are．

       Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve．Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power．Like a contract（合同） with yourself, they are harder to neglect（忽視） or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously alert（警覺） to situations that will further your goals．

60．The writer gave the example of two drivers to show_______________．

       A．how stupid the first driver was               B．the importance of having a map

       C．how stupid the second driver was             D．the importance of setting a goal

61．According to the passage, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones in that ______．

       A．the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others

       B．the unsuccessful people’s goals are often too big for them to realize

       C．the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry them out

       D．the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard

62．According to the passage, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is to_______．

       A．try to be realistic about one’s ability

       B．let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true

       C．let others understand him or her first, then work together with them

       D．have a clear mind of what he or she wants in life

63．Which is the best title for the passage?

       A．Goals help you succeed．               B． How to succeed．

       C．Why we always failed．                  D． A research on setting goals．

The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.

Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled. And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.

Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.

The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr. Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business

To raise money for the idea, he toured the city’s private companies which fund new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed around ??500,000 to MyHabs and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed fully next year.

Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.

For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the sites by the Myhabs team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising space.

The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

72. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.

      A. economically desirable                          B. favorable to the environment

      C. for holding music performances                 D. designed for disaster relief

73. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______ .

      A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint

      B. with the approval of the City’s administration

      C. in partnership with a finance group

      D. with the help of a Japanese architect

74. It is implied in the passage that _______.

A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer

B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air

C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailored

D. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.

75. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Don’t Use Tents Again                                  B. The Advantages of Tents

C. How to Produce Tents                                  D. The Development of Recyclable Tents

       When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC for the news．However, during the war in Iraq in 2003, many people followed the war from the point of view of an unknown Iraqi citizen who called himself “Salam Pax ” ．(Salam Pax means peace)

       Salam Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, and posted it on his website．Pax’s online diary was a kind of website known as a “blog”．Blogs are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people．They are the fastest growing types of website on the Internet．

A blog differs from a traditional website in several ways．Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly．Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day．Also, most blogs use special software or websites, which can help ordinary people easily set up and start writing their own blogs．

       There are many different kinds of blogs．The most popular type is an online diary of links where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or news articles that they find interesting , with a few comments about each one ．Other types are personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings．Sometimes these blogs can be very personal．

       There is another kind of blogging, called “moblogging ”, short for “ mobile blogging ”．

Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet．The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student on the Internet．Many people were shocked by what the student did, and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools．

       Many people think that as blogs become common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet．They think that then the news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation, where any one can join in．
