Mst f us set a gal with energy and mtivatin. If it is achieved, we will feel we are n clud
nine. But in mst cases, we can’t reach ur gals easily. Why d we ften fail t hit the target? The
answer lies in the discnnectin between ur brains’ evaluatin f rewards and the “get it dne” realities that influence ur behavir.
Our brains are reward-driven rgans charged by neurtransmitters (神经递质) that fuel ur
drives and desires, and it’ s easy fr us t get carried away in this chemical tsunami. S, when we set up a gal, ur fcus is n the reward. We picture getting the reward, and hw we’ll feel when we make it, which pushes us int actin. But nce we begin, we cme face t face with what’s really required t reach the gal and ur fcus shifts frm reward t effrt.
In ther wrds, a fcus n rewards fuels the pursuit（追求）, but a fcus n effrt takes ver
when the wrk starts. Fr example, getting up early t exercise fr a new healthy lifestyle might seem like a gd chice, but nce yur alarm ges ff n a cld January mrning, the rewards aren’t enugh t get yu up and ut f bed. When we face the reality f ur chices, we realize the effrt is t much and give up.
In fairness, thugh, we dn’t always have the best sense f hw much effrt smething will
require, especially if it’s a gal we haven’t pursued befre. Getting better at setting gals has much t d with figuring this ut and nt letting urselves frget the lessn.
Next time, begin ur gal pursuits with as much realistic acknwledgment f the effrt required
as pssible. Then, nce we begin, refcus back t the reward and cntinue the effrts.
What des the underlined phrase “n clud nine” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Scared. B. Overjyed. C. Restless. D. Weary.
What may accunt fr ne’s unachieved gal?
A. Aiming high, wrking less. B. Speaking mre, ding less.
C. Mre effrts, less speed. D. Mre pains, mre gains.
What d peple ften fail t recgnize in setting gals?
A. Ambitin. B. Effrt. C. Cst. D. Reward.
What’s the authr’s advice t us?高二12月月考英语试题 第3页（共8页） 高二12月月考英语试题 第4页（共8页）A. Refcus back t the gal. B. Achieve yur gal step by step.
C. Accept failure and learn frm the past. D. Set practical gals and wrk cnsistently.

There's a sng by the great Jamaican singer Bb Marley called S Much Truble in the Wrld. Marley understd that part f the reasn why there are s many prblems in the wrld is the lack f
tlerance between peple. The UN understands this t --- that’s why it made Nv.16“Internatinal
Day fr Tlerance”.
But first f all, what is tlerance? French philspher Vltaire (1694-1778) can give us sme help. Accrding t him, tlerance is the cnsequence f humanity. We are all frmed f frailty (脆弱) and errr; let us pardn each ther's flly --- that is the first law f nature.
Nbdy's perfect; When we're tempted t criticize anther persn, we shuld perhaps remember
ur wn imperfectins first.
Very ften, peple dn't realize that they're intlerant. This is because intlerance has a lt t d with ignrance. Fr example, the UN's campaign is in part abut the treatment f females by males. But ften, the behavir f men tward wmen is intlerant because men dn't put themselves in the shes f wmen.
It's wrth thinking a little abut the wrds "tlerance" and "intlerance". Are they the best wrds
t describe the evils f which we're speaking here? T agree t be "tlerant" f smene isn't necessarily a very respectful thing. When smene is tlerated, it implies that there's smething wrng with them.
But it seems wrng that peple shuld agree t "tlerate" peple with black skin, fr example.
And shuld wmen think they have received the respect they are due when men agree t "tlerate" them?
Still, what Vltaire said stands: We humans are nt perfect and this weakness is smething that
we all share. That's the reasn why we shuld be tlerant.
It's a little like genersity. We can give things t anther persn, and we can als give ur frgiveness. Bb Marley understd this. In the sng mentined abve, he advised: "All yu gt t d: give a little." Or, as this lder piece f wisdm says: "Write yur lve n a rck s it stays fr eternity; write yur hate in the sand s the waves will wash it away.”
Accrding t Vltaire, tlerance is ___________.
A. being willing t express yur lve t thers B. trying t vercme yur imperfectins
C. giving a hand t vulnerable grups D. accepting each ther's weaknesses
In what sense is “tlerance” similar t “genersity”?
Humans are advised t treat thers better.
Humans learned t find faults in thers.
Humans need t give smething t thers.
Humans will change their attitudes t thers.
The underlined wrd "this" in the last paragraph refers t _________.
A. giving things t thers B. frgiving thers
C. different attitudes tward lve and hate D. the fact that humans are imperfect
What's the text mainly abut?
The rigin f the Internatinal Day f Tlerance.
The meaning and imprtance f tlerance.
The philsphy behind Bb Marley's sng.
Effective ways t shw tlerance.

I have smetimes given mney t beggars. 36 Please let me explain why.
First, fr every dllar that we give t a beggar, the mre prfitable we make begging and, cmparatively, the less prfitable we make wrking. This is bad, fr we want peple t wrk, nt beg. Wrking is prductive while begging is at best neutral and ften a burden. Secnd, the beggar wh
receives the mney might spend it n alchl r drugs. 37
When I went t elementary schl, I remember that I was very mved by a sng named "Streets
f Lndn". The sng tells a heartbreaking stry abut sme f Lndn's prest, an ld man in particular. Nt lng ag, hwever, when I heard the sng n the radi, it struck me that the man in the sng des nt live that hrrible a life after all. Judging frm the lyrics f the sng, the man has shes,
and ccasinal access t a newspaper. 38 S why shuld yu give mney t the beggar in the
develped wrld instead f the starving child in Africa?
It might be harsh t claim that it is immral t give mney t Western beggars. After all, it
seems reasnable that yu can spend the mney as yu like. 39 If ur aim is t benefit
urselves, then giving mney t beggars is nt suitable. If ur aim is t benefit thers, then giving mney t beggars is als wasteful.
In seeking t help thers, we shuld nt merely give t thse wh are gegraphically clse t us
and whse appearance aruses ur sympathy. 40 T achieve this, we shuld first decide hw
much we are willing t spend helping thers, and then dnate mney t the mst efficient charity.
Many peple die f hunger in Africa.
True as it might be, we shuld spend ur mney wisely.
Why nt dnate mney t thse in need f financial aid?
Upn reflectin, hwever, I have cme t change my mind.
Yu almst certainly spend mney helping the wrng peple.
In a wrld where thusands die f hunger every day, that's a pretty cmfrtable life.
Rather, we shuld aid thse wh are the least respnsible fr the situatin they're in.
