Ⅱ.阅读理解
Every once in a while，it is necessary to take a step back in order to take a long，hard look at where we are in our lives.At this point，it is good to ask yourself a bunch of critical questions.Are you at the point in your career where you want to be？Have you so far accomplished all of your goals in life？If so，then maybe it is time to make goals that stretch yourself a bit more.If you have not accomplished your goals in life，then perhaps you have made the mistake of setting too many goals or trying to accomplish them at an unnaturally fast pace.
It is necessary to set reasonable，intelligent goals in order to succeed in life.Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale.But you should try to recognize what you want，and to be as specific as possible when attempting to visualize or otherwise express what your goals in life are.
In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you，it needs to be a major one.The bigger your goals are，then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them.If you want，for example，to be the greatest concert pianist in the world，then you are going to find yourself a lot more motivated than you would be if your goal were merely to，say，play a couple of Beethoven pieces extremely well.If you are a beginner，then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set.But if that is your only goal as a pianist，then you will stop growing as a pianist once that goal has been achieved.This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re­evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are，and thus stay motivated.
语篇解读：本文主要论述了我们在生活中应该确立实际的目标，并经常停下来审视和重新评价一下我们已经实现或未实现的目标，以不断地激励我们自己。
1.From the passage，if your goals have all been achieved，you should then 　　　　.
A.ask yourself some serious questions
B.take a hard look at your success
C.set some other intelligent goals
D.stretch yourself to relax
解析：细节理解题。由题干中的“if your goals have all been achieved”为关键句，寻读aybe it is time to make goals that stretch yourself a bit more.”与要求回答的问题接近，重点理解“make goals that stretch yourself a bit more”，其意应该为“设立一些使你更好地发展的目标”，所以C项正确。

2.By saying“life is not a fairy tale”，the author suggests that you should 　　　　.
A.set as big a goal as possible
B.try hard to realize your dream
C.make your goals practical
D.abandon all your ambitions
解析：句意理解题。本句前的“Do not be unrealistic...”是理解句意的关键，整句话意为“不要那么不现实，生活不是一个童话”，由此可知，作者建议我们应该确立可行的目标，而不是不切实际的目标，所以C项正确。

3.To perform several Beethoven pieces well is a goal that 　　　　.
A.is not suitable for the pianist
