Passage 2
There are three kinds of goals: shirt-term, medium-range/term and long-term goals. 目标有三种:短期目标,中期目标和长期目标。
Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.
短期目标是根据每日制定的为了处理当前事物的目标。短期目标可以以一个星期左右,两个星期,或者可能的话一个月来完成。我们必须记住,打地基比砌墙更需要坚实,长期目标脱离了扎实的短期目标的实现是不能实现的。短期目标实现时,我们应该注明时间,然后再所完成目标的基础上,添加新的短期目标。
The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. 中期目标是在短期目标的基础上制定的。可以以一个学期或整个学年为周期,甚至可以延长至几年。每次你根据目标前进了一步,都不要让自己感到没有信心或者压力重重。当你完成了一个目标,你都会增加成功的信心。并且当你完成目标的日期越来越多,你的动力和希望都会增加。
Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. (221 words)
长期目标可以和我们未来的梦想相关联。可以是五年或五年以上的目标。生活不是一成不变的。我们不能让长期目标制约了我们或我们的行为。
16. Our long-term goals mean a lot _________. 如果我们能完成各个短期目标,那么我们的长期目标将意义深远。 细节题
A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. if we complete the short-term goals C. if we have dreams of the future

17. New short-term goals are built upon _________. 新的短期目标是以完成以前的短期目标为基础的。细节题

Passage 3
Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart. 英国和法国被英吉利海峡阻隔,穿越该海峡只要不到20分钟的时间。但这两个国家的文化有时相差很大。
Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality .The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.
上星期四,英国和法国庆祝了《友好协议》签定100周年的纪念活动。该协议标志着两个国家在经历了几个世纪的战争和爱恨交织的关系后的新开始。
But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac?s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug (拥抱) ,Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties. 但他们的关系在上个世纪也经历了几番起落。仅去年,对伊拉克战争问题进行了激烈的争论—英国首相布莱尔支持而法国总统希拉克反对。在国际会议中,这种别扭在布莱尔和希拉克的身体语言上表现得很明显。当法国领导人频频与德国总理格哈特·施罗德拥抱时,而与布莱尔只是握手。然而,有些政治专家说正是伊拉克战争促进了两国的关系。
The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn?t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys (调查) show that most French people reel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has round that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France?s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain?s close links with the US.
这种历来的分离是因为这两个国家对世界的看法完全不同。但是这并没有阻隔1200万的英国人每年到法国渡假。而法国仅有300万的人民去英国渡假。调查显示大多数法国人对德国人比对英国人感觉更亲切。并且在英国进行的调查显示仅有1/3的英国人信任法国人。也许这种坏的感觉是因为英国人不喜欢法国跟德国的亲密关系,或者因为法国对英国和美国的亲密关系感到不悦。
