21、Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction. 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):

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.

24、There are some 7,000 languages spoken worldwide, each unique, using different sounds, vocabularies and structures. Charles the Great said: “To have a second language is to have a second soul.” This begs the question: Does the language we speak shape who we are? As it turns out, yes.
In societies such as the United States or Western Europe, self-expression and language precision are valued. Asian cultures, on the other hand, prefer an indirect form of communication. Words like “perhaps” and “maybe” are used more than “yes” or “no”. Americanism takes an informal approach to communication. Therefore it’s OK to refer to a stranger or the boss as “you”. However, the Thai language has 12 forms of the same pronoun, choosing one depends on status. In this way, languages are essential in navigating (导航) any culture, be that our own or otherwise.
People who speak different languages notice different things, depending on the constructs of their mother tongue. Take an accident. In English, it’s OK to say: “She broke the glass.” But in a language like Spanish, you’d probably go with: “The glass broke.” The same incident produces two different responses. English speakers will remember who’s at fault, because their language asks them to, while Spanish speakers are more likely to remember it was an accident. This has real consequences, especially when it comes to crime and punishment.
Professor Jim Cummins has written extensively on mother tongues. For Cummins, the stronger our home language, the easier it is for us to learn others. Of course, research also shows that being bilingual (会说两种语言的) gives people many advantages in life. Linguist Julien Leyre writes that learning another language develops our ability to “understand the mental world of another person, based on the language they use, and how that world is different from our own.”
Our mother tongue is central to how we think, what we know and who we are. Like us, languages are living things that change over time and must be cared for to survive. By doing so, we protect not just the linguistic structures or vocabularies we use, but the culture, knowledge and power behind them.
【1】Why does the author mention “Americanism” and “the Thai language” in Paragraph 2?
A．To tell the cultural differences between them.
B．To indicate a language is a guide to a culture.
C．To stress American expressions are informal.
D．To reveal a language is associated with status.
【2】What is English speakers’ response to an accident?
A．They will seek blame.
B．They will punish others.
C．They will avoid responsibility.
D．They will draw a lesson from it.
【3】What does Julien Leyre think about bilinguals?
A．They enjoy a more colorful life.
B．They can remain mentally healthy.
C．They find it easier to learn a language.
D．They can gain insight into others’ minds.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．How do languages differ?
B．Will your language be extinct?
C．Why does our mother tongue matter?
D．Should we speak a second language?
25、It was a bitter cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago. An old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The _______ seemed endless. His body became _______ and stiff from the chilly north wind.

As they ________ the tiny but cozy cottage, the horseman’s ________ caused him to inquire, “sir, I notice you let several other riders pass by without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I ________ and you immediately asked me for a ride. I am curious why, on such a bitter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. What if I had ________ and left you here?”
The old man lowered himself ________ down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, “I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no ________ for my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride.________ when I looked into your eyes, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me assistance in my time of need.”
