Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything that you want in life. Instead of just1 life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people in life imagine2 their life should be like and set lots of goals. By setting goals you can be the master (主人) of your life. It is like having a sign to show you where you want to go. 3 it this way, there are two drivers. One has a place to go clearly in mind which can4on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. 5 driver has no goal or a map. He starts to drive at the same time from the same place as the first driver. But he drives without any purpose, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. 6 people usually just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach. It's up to you to7 what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to plan your future life.
Researchers tell8 that when writing a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed usually. They are harder to forget. Also, when you write your goals9 your own way, you are sure to make10 realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

A boy lost his arms in a car accident and his father lost his life. So he had to depend on the arms of his younger brother's. Except writing with his toes, he could do nothing in his life. As the two brothers grew up together, they had lots of problems and they were often angry with each other. Then one day, his younger brother left him. So he was very sad and didn't know what to do. A girl lost her hands because of a fire. Though her elder sister wanted to take care of her, she decided to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Once she wrote the following in her diary. "I am lucky. Though I lost my hands, I still have legs. Though my wings are broken, my heart can still fly. "
One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to a television show. The host asked them to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote "My younger brother's arms are my arms." while the girl wrote "Broken wings, flying heart".
Garlic(大蒜) is one of the healthiest foods for you. While garlic can't help you with your outdoor activities when you eat too much of it. Because the garlic has special smell when you eat it. It can make people far away from you. But it is really healthy for your body.
Garlic is well known because it can make some illnesses better. In the old time in China it is widely used. In Egypt, people had garlic to keep them healthy. For those people who have the high blood pressure (高血压), heart illness, garlic should become their best friend because garlic can make blood pressure lower. Studies have shown that just one part of garlic daily is enough to make blood pressure lower. Garlic is good for fighting cold. When we have a cold, we'd better take some garlic. Garlic is an excellent food for curing illness. If we take garlic with other food rich in vitamin C (维生素 C), it helps white blood cells(细胞) to fight off the illness. If you have a sore throat, take two or more parts of garlic, cut-up or whole.
However, everything has two sides, we'd better not eat too much garlic, for it may cause stomachache.
If you live in some big cities such as Shanghai or Beijing, you may see some orange bikes in the street. These bikes are from a company called Mobike. When you find the bike, you just scan(扫描) the QR Code(二维码), then you can use it. You needn't to give it back to the station, just park it everywhere.

Brunn, a German woman, had a bike store in Beijing. She said " I do believe changes in people's tastes will shape new thinking on bikes. "

I think it is for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with housework. It is not enough to just get good grades at school. Children these days depend on their parents too. They are always,"Could you get this for me? or "Could you help me with that?" Doing chores helps to develop children's and teaches them how to look after
It also helps them to understand the idea of fairness. Since they live in one house with their parents, they should know that everyone should in keeping it clean and tidy. Our neighbors' son got into a good college but during his first year, he didn't know how to take care of himself. As a result, he often ill and his grades dropped. The kids learn to be independent, the better it is for their future.
In Australia there is a famous island called Fraser Island. A great many visitors come here for holidays every year. In fact, it is the largest sand island in the world. Though the island is a popular place of interest, there is no airport on the island. Planes arrive and leave from the long beach along the east coast.
Every year, visitors come to enjoy the island's natural beauty. People always like camping and hiking there. Unluckily, visitors caused many problems. They caused the extinction (灭绝) of animals. And they also caused the pollution of lakes. So it is time to protect the environment of the island. People set up some rules. For example, visitors are not allowed to use motorboats (摩托艇) or go fishing in the lakes. Most importantly, they mustn't leave any rubbish.

rthings or material of no use that will be thrown away
They threw rubbish everywhere, and the lakes were seriously polluted.

Self-reflection (反省) means not only slowing down but also calming yourself. Different people have different ways to self-reflect. You can follow the advice which can help you.
First, choose the proper time to do it. School textbooks are divided (分 成 ) into units of study. Look for time when you finish a unit of study. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Then, find a quiet place and take out your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written.
Finally, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to wok out a math problem, but you're not sure when to use it. The questions written down will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Successful students always know self-reflection is important. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.
