Make a choice and t your goals. Otherwi you will end up wherever life takes you. 2. You Don’t Start OK, so you have a goal. What have you done about it? Have you started it yet? What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals. 3. You Aren’t Willing to “Buy” Your Goals Yes, you have to buy your goals. Why? Becau every goal has a price. It has a cost. Time. Money. Sweat. Sacrifice. You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner. 4. Your Goals Are Unrealistic. Make sure that your goals are possible and that you t an adequate time frame for success. 5. You Won’t Stick With It Over half of goals will be given up within 30 days.

解析

有许多原因可以用来解释目标的未能达成。目标设定是一个有小及大的积累过程，只有完成一个个阶段性的小目标，才能最终达成终极目标。文章还总结了七个导致目标未能达成的原因。小题1:根据第一段“let’s examine the reasons why many people fail at reaching them. Here are 7 Reasons That You Won’t Reach Your Goals”可知，文章主要讲的是造成目标未能达到的原因，故选C。小题2:根据“You Don’t Start ...What are you waiting for? Procrastination is responsible for the failure of many goals.”可知，迟迟没有开始，没有付诸行动，也是未能达到目标的原因之一，根据段意可推知划线词的意思是“推迟，拖延”，故选B。小题3:根据“You will have to “pay” for your goals in some manner.”排除A项；根据“Make a choice and t your goals. Otherwi you will end up wherever life takes you.”排除C项；根据“Too many people are afraid to “t” their goals. Afraid of failing.”排除D项；根据“Make a choice and t your goals. Otherwi you will end up wherever life takes you.”可知，你应该花时间做出选择，定下目标，好好计划一下未来，否则，你将止步于现状，不会有什么成就，故选B。小题4:根据第六个标题和“have usually put in years of preparation and practice. ...You have to fall down many times before you will succeed.”可知，本段讲的是，要承受住失败的打击，不轻言放弃，通往成功的道路不会是平坦的，需要你做好心理准备，故选D。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“There are many reaso.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
