Passage 5

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.

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 a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very much 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.

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.

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.

1. Our long-term goals mean a 1ot________.

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 D. if we put forward some plans

【答案】B。

2. New short-term goals are built upon ____________.

A. a daily basis B. your achievement in a week

【答案】D。

3. When we complete each step of our goals, _________.

A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed

C. we will build up our confidence to achieve success

【答案】C。

4. What is the main idea of this passage?_____________

A. Life is a dynamic thing. B. We should set up long-term goals.

C. Different kinds of goals in life. D. The limitation of long-term goals.

【答案】C。

5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? __________

A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.

B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.

C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.

Passage 6

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

1. What makes a scientist according to the passage? ___________

A. The tools he uses. B. The way he uses his tools.

C. His ways of learning. D. The various tools he uses.

【答案】B。

2. The underlined part in the passage shows___________.

A. the importance of information B. the importance of thinking

C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people

D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs

【答案】C。

3. A sound scientific theory should be one that ___________.

A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times

B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions

C. can be used for many purposes

D. leave no room for improvement

【答案】A。

4. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate ______________.

A. that measurements are keys to success m science

B. that accuracy of mathematics

C. that investigations are important science

D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations

【答案】C。

5. What is the main idea of the passage? _____________

A. The theory of relativity. B. Exactness is the core of science.

C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.

D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

【答案】D。
