“Life’s a long, long journey,” so we are told, and most of us would not set off on a journey, even a short one, without some ideas of where we wanted to go. Yet many people travel on life’s journey with no sense of direction at all.

Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. Goal setting is used by top sports players, successful business people and achievers in all fields. Before you set personal goals, think about what you want to achieve with your life.

Try to set goals in some of the following categories ( 类别 ):

Education—Will you achieve the educational goals after finishing high school? Are you still growing and learning?

Family—What kind of relationship do you want with your parents and other family members?

Creative—Do you want to achieve any artistic goals?

Career—What job do you want to take when you grow up? What do you need to make your dream come true?

Public Service—Do you want to make the world a better place?

Physical—Are you fit enough to do the things you want to do?

Pleasure—How do you want to enjoy yourself?

To help make the process more manageable, divide your goals into smaller tasks. For example, if you want to reach a main goal in five years, set a three-year goal, a one-year goal, a three-month goal and a one-month goal. Then create a daily To-Do List of things that you should do today. When a goal is achieved, take the time to enjoy your success. This helps you build the self-confidence.

Remember, your goals can be changed as time goes on. But be sure your goals are the things you hope to achieve, not what your parents, family or teachers want.

What time does your school start? Do you wish you could get up later every morning? You are not alone if your answer is “Yes.” In the US, many middle school students have the same wish.

In America, many schools start before 7:30 am. But that may change soon. A new law has been passed in California. According to the law, middle schools should not start before 8:00 a.m. The government hopes school children will have longer time in bed.

Many scientific studies show that teenagers are more active in the afternoon and in the evening. Simply telling them to go to bed earlier doesn’t work well. Most of them don’t get enough sleep because of bad sleeping habits and early school starting time. They need more sleep in the morning. Scientists suggest middle schools should start at 8:00 a.m. or later. Students can get well ready to learn and they won’t fall asleep in class. _________ The change can help improve students’ grades.

While scientists are happy with the new law, many parents disagree with it. They won’t be able to send their children to school before they go to work. They also fear that later school starting time will lead to later ending time. As a result, their children will have less time to take part in after-school activities.

It’s good news that Chinese education experts have noticed the problem and made some rules about that. So what’s your opinion? Do you expect China to pass a similar law?

1 ． The schools shouldn’t start ________ according to the new law in California.

A ． before 7:30 a.m. B ． after 7:30 a.m. C ． after 8:00 a.m. D ． before 8:00 a.m.

2 ． Why don’t most of the teenagers get enough sleep?

A ． Because their parents need them to do housework.

B ． Because their sleeping habits are bad and schools start early.

C ． Because they play computer games till late.

D ． Because they have too much homework.

3 ． Which sentence do you think can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 3?

A ． They can put on weight. B ． They will like their teachers.

C ． They will join more clubs. D ． They will pay more attention to classes.

4 ． What can we know from the passage?

A ． The government of New York has passed a new law.

B ． All the parents disagree with the law.

C ． Later school starting time may lead to fewer after-school activities.

D ． Teenagers are more active in the morning.

5 ． From the passage, we can infer ( 推断 ) that ________.

A ． students should have enough sleeping time in the writer’s opinion

B ． students in California will have less sleeping time

C ． Chinese experts aren’t worried about students’ sleeping time

D ． China has already passed a similar law
