There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 【小题】(1) Our long-term goals mean a lot__________. A.if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB.if we complete our short-range goals C.if we put forward some plansD.if we write down the dates 【小题】(2) New short-term goals are build upon__________.

解析
文章讨论了三种类型的目标:短期目标、中期目标和长期目标。短期目标是与当前活动相关的,可以每天应用,通常在一周或更短时间内实现。中期目标建立在短期目标的基础上,可能涉及一个学期或整个学年,甚至几年。长期目标可能与我们对未来的梦想有关,可能覆盖五年或更长时间。文章还提到,我们不应该让长期目标限制我们或我们的行动。
步骤 2:分析问题
问题1:我们的长期目标意味着什么?
问题2:新的短期目标建立在什么基础上?
问题3:当我们完成目标的每一步时,会发生什么?
问题4:一旦我们的目标被制定出来,会发生什么?
问题5:第四段中划线的“static”一词最可能是什么意思?
步骤 3:解答问题
问题1:根据文章,长期目标不能没有实现的短期目标。因此,我们的长期目标意味着很多,如果我们完成了短期目标。
问题2:新的短期目标建立在已经完成的目标基础上。
问题3:当我们完成目标的每一步时,我们会增强成功信念,建立成功信心。
问题4:一旦我们的目标被制定出来,我们可以根据新的想法和机会改变我们的目标。
问题5:根据上下文,"static"一词最可能的意思是“unchanging”(不变的)。
