28、Have you ever set a goal for yourself, like getting fit or being picked for a team? Like lots of people, maybe you started out doing great, but then lost some of that drive and had trouble getting motivated (激励) again. Everyone struggles with staying motivated and reaching their goals. Just look at how many people go on diets, lose weight, and then gain it back again!

Check in with your goal.

It helps if you write down your small goals in the same way you wrote down your big goal. That way you can follow what you need to do, check off tasks as you finish them, and enjoy knowing that you’re moving toward your big goal. If you’re feeling weak on willpower, you can look at your list to help you change!

Go on with your goal if you slip up (出差错).

If you slip up, don’t give up. Forgive yourself and make a plan for getting back on road. Pat yourself on the back for everything you did right. Don’t beat yourself up, no matter how far off track you get. Most people slip up when trying to make a change — it’s a natural part of the process.

Share with a friend.

Another way is having supportive people around you. Having a goal partner can make all the difference in times when you don’t feel motivated. If you’re not getting support from someone when you really need it, you may need to take a break from that friendship and make friends with people who want to help you succeed.

Don’t give up!

Ending an unhealthy behavior or creating a new, exciting one is all about taking responsibility (责任) for our lives. Finding the motivation to do it isn’t easy, but it is always possible. You can stay motivated by writing down your goals, sticking to your plan, and reminding yourself of what led you to set your goal in the first place. Change is exciting — we’d all be very bored without it.

Good luck in reaching your goals!

【1】The underlined word “drive” in the first paragraph refers to ______.

A. the wish to achieve a goal

B. the need to have great energy

C. the pressure to drive fast

D. the strong energy to drive

【2】If a person slips up, the author thinks of it as ______.

A. strange   B. natural

C. necessary   D. wrong

【3】What is the advice for staying motivated?

A. To set a big goal in the first place.

B. To share a goal with your friend.

C. To divide your goal into small ones.

D. To make a plan for changing your goal.

【4】The passage is mainly about how to ______.

A. help your friend succeed at last

B. set a big goal and reach it

C. deal with a friend who offers no support

D. keep motivated to achieve your goal

29、When you’re sitting in class or behind your desk waiting for the clock to strike a time when you can go home, it is natural that your mind should wander (走神) a bit. It is common for your mind to wander to a vacation and even travel around the world. What if there is a way that you can travel around the world without having to pay any money?

A person that managed to make it around the world without spending much was Shantanu Starick. How did he trade off his service? Starick realized that as a photographer he had a service that people would usually be willing to pay money for, but he would instead offer his photography service to anyone who could provide him with food, shelter (住处) and transportation. Starick has been traveling for a surprising 30 months and has visited countries ranging from the United States to Ecuador.

In English-speaking countries, trading off services and communicating aren’t difficult for Starick. However, in farther areas where there isn’t an English- speaking person in sight it can be quite difficult. More than anything, the locals appreciate (欣赏) the effort behind trying to speak their language, even if you don’t exactly sound like a native speaker.

You can do it too!

Honestly, with a bit of confidence, drive and a skill you can trade, you’ll be able to do exactly the same as Starick.

Start thinking about what you can do to get around the world without paying money. With our social networks and the connectivity our world has, you can easily connect with and market yourself to people across the world without any effort.

A．Join.

B．Exchange.

【3】In the locals’ opinion, what is the key to travelers in non-English-speaking countries?

31、课文填空

Daisy had always longed to help【1】 species of wildlife. One  day she woke  up and  found a flying carpet by her bed.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina, with temperatures staying around 15℃. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy Softball were waiting for their next turns during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor watched her teammate Paris play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.

Paris was the queen of the softball court, with super skills of playing softball and strong leadership — almost all the players respected and followed her. Seemingly, Taylor’s coming challenged the current situation as Taylor was the team captain of her former school. So sometimes Paris just led the team to win the match, leaving Taylor behind on the bench.

The girls were training hard. Emma tried her best to make a good throw, which might seem foreign to someone just starting to learn the game. Anna kept her arm over her shoulder when she was throwing the softball. Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground and started shaking, with her eyes rolling back. Taylor realized it was an emergency.

It certainly was. Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. “ Does anyone know CPR? ”

CPR is a life-saving skill. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.

Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. Looking around, she found no one step forward. They all were at a loss what to do. Taylor was scared, too. But she knew it was the difference between life and death.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Taylor got up the courage and ran to do CPR for Paris.
