28．Should we focus on our goal，or on the process？ What happened to Brenda Martinez，a US Olympic runner，may provide us with the answer.She lost her balance in the 800 m race and failed to qualify for the Olympics.Focusing on everything that would give her another chance，she quickly let go of what happened in the 800 m race and got back to her routine.A week later，she won the third place in the 1500 m race to qualify for the Olympics in Rio.Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team，she concentrated on the process.
Generally，overemphasizing goals based on ultimate outcomes often leads to risk-taking，unethical （不道德的）behavior and reduced motivation.We see this happen in the real world all the time：someone becomes driven by the external rewards and recognition that he hopes accomplishing his goal will bring，and，in the worst case，he'll go to any extreme to achieve it such as taking harmful diet pills to lose weight or using banned drugs in a competition.These are all predictable side effects of overemphasizing goals.
Another danger of only focusing on goals is giving up all the merits after completing them.For example，some marathon runners experience what's called the "post-race blues".Achieving their goal may cause them to drop the good habits that got them there.Dieters often experience this in what's called "yo-yo dieting" — gaining all the weight back while resuming their bad habits after they drop down to a desired weight.
However，focusing on the process will help you to achieve little victories on your way to achieving long-term goals and leave you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment，regardless of the ultimate outcome.It means breaking down a goal into little parts and concentrating on those parts.For Martinez，this meant not worrying about her bad luck in the 800 m race，but rather ensuring she got in the right nutrition，sleep and workouts to give herself the best chance to run a good race in the 1500 m race.
Therefore，after you set a goal，it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving the goal，and to judge yourself based on how well you do in the process.
（1）With a question at the beginning of the passage，the author intends to.
A．enhance the persuasion
B．persuade readers to accept his views
C．provide convincing evidence
D．inspire readers to reflect on the topic
（2）Brenda Martinez's example shows that.
A．it is important to set big goals
B．failure is the mother of success
C．focusing on the process can lead to success
D．opportunity favors the prepared mind
（3）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3 and 4？
A．Giving too much attention to goals can bring about harmful effects.
B．Post-race blues is sure to happen after a marathon race.
C．In order to achieve the goals people can adopt aggressive behavior.
D．It is normal to feel down after achieving the goal.
（4）According to the author，what benefits can we obtain by focusing on the process？
A．Avoiding failure during the process.
B．Gaining a sense of satisfaction by achieving small targets.
C．Reducing some unpredictable risk.
D．Ensuring enough sleep and good mood.
（5）In the passage，the author suggests that we should.
A．ignore the bad effects of overemphasizing goals
B．move forward without motivation
C．divide a big goal into smaller pieces and concentrate on process
D．concentrate on our goals rather than the process组卷：6引用：2难度：0.5

29．阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I started drawing houses at six.Unlike most girls，my dream was to build a backyard clubhouse — a dream that was unrealistic given that we lived in an apartment.By high school I continued drawing and my dreams broadened—to become an architect.My older brother told me to try a university education.But my family couldn't afford that kind of education.Still.I fanned the flame of hope.
I got a part-time job at Bayside Bowl（保龄球）and started saving money.My bank account，however，was growing quite slowly.I decided to shrink my dreams to a more realistic size.
Soon after that，a newcomer started frequenting Bayside Bowl.She arrived alone，and always carried a bag with a ball inside.Her dark skin and gray hair made her stand out among our younger customers.She talked to me whenever I cleaned near her lane（赛道）.I learned her name was Bessie.She had been a singer for as long as she could remember.In her 20s she had tried to get a job as a restaurant singer. "I was a young black woman，and in the early 1950s doors didn't exactly open wide for me.Zilch!" she said.
I admired her ability to pick up a split，but I also appreciated her advice. "Life's like bowling." she would say. "Set your eyes on your target and follow through." Indeed，Bessie hadn't let the "zilches" stop her.She had signed up for the Brightwood Music Academy.It turned out this lady was the Bessie Richards，a recording artist of the 1950s.
Bessie moved on to live with her sister，but before leaving，she left me with a ﹩50 tip for helping her at the lanes，a reminder to ignore the "zilches" in my life，and some lines of poetry she had copied from a book.Bessie said， "Read this when the going seems tough.It'll help you follow through and reach for your goal." These are the lines：
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
A year has passed since I last bowled with Bessie，and I've resumed my drawing.I'm working and saving money，taking drafting classes，and applying for internships （ 实习）．Whenever I'm discouraged，I reread those lines of poetry.
There'll be no barren field of frozen snow nor zilches for me.Inspired by Bessie and the poem，I plan to continue to dream.
（1）What was the author's dream when she was in high school？（no more than 8 words）
（2）Why did the author shrink her dream to a realistic size？（no more than 10 words）
（3）How do you understand the underlined sentence"Life is like bowling"？（no more than 15 words）

（5）Who is the "Bessie" in your life？How does he or she help you to pursue your dream？ （no more than 20 words）组卷：2引用：1难度：0.5
