三、七选五
Many people are stuck in a life they don’t want, and are held in places by everything from financial restrictions to social pressures. If you are looking to pursue your dreams, it can be discouraging to change everything at once. 1
Write down your goals to get them out of your head and into reality. Be honest with yourself about what you want, no matter how impossible it seems and ignore what you “should” do based on the views of your friends, family or society. 2 Don’t leave anything out, no matter how small or silly it sounds. Look at the themes of your list to get an idea of what your dream life will look like.
3 Choose one that is relatively easy to accomplish, one that is doable but will require work and one that seems impossible based on your current circumstances and lifestyle. List the steps you will need to take to get to each goal, and get down to the little details.
Start with your smallest goal and work through the steps until you achieve it. Each time you complete one of the steps, cross it off so you can celebrate the process in addition to the end result. 4
Figure out how you can work your second two goals into your life. 5 If your big dream is to quit your job and travel around the world, start a savings account that is dedicated to travel money and set aside a small amount each week for three years. Plan your steps according to the time you set and they will be doable and fit smoothly into your life.
A.Seek support from your friends and family.
B.You will need to have courage to make changes.
C.Identify the top three things that will get you closer to your dream life.
D.When you achieve the goal, find a way to continue integrating it into your life.
E.Choose a deadline for each goal, whether it is one year down the road or five.
F.List the things you want to accomplish in your life, both personal and professional.
G.Instead, making small, gradual changes to prepare the way to dreams makes the process easier.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You’re good at nothing.”David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them and corrected them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice on improving them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.

1.G 上文提到, 如果你想追求你的梦想, 一下子改变一切会让你泄气。那么本句应当是建议从小的改变做起会比较容易。故选项G“相反, 做一些小的、渐进的改变, 为梦想的道路做准备, 会使这个过程更容易”符合上下文语境, 故选G项。
2.F 根据本段第一句Write down your goals to get them out of your head and into reality. 以及下文Don’t leave anything out, no matter how small or silly it sounds. 可知, 本句应当是在说明列出生活中想要完成的事情, 不要遗漏。故选项F“列出你在生活中想要完成的事情, 包括个人的和专业的”符合上下文语境, 故选F项。

Each time you complete one of the steps, cross it off so you can celebrate the process in addition to the end result. 可知, 从最小的目标开始, 循序渐进直到你实现它。每完成一个步骤, 把它划掉, 这样除结果外, 你还可以庆祝这个过程。由此可知, 本句承接上文说明, 实现了目标之后应该想办法把目标融入生活。故选D项。

Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.” ;
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.
