Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎7. A． This can affect your work． B． So how should you motivate yourself？ C． However， this should not discourage you． D． So why should we try to set specific goals？ E． Without motivation， you can neither set a goal nor reach it． F． Motivation is what you need most to do a good job． Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question： "Should I jump？" This is what motivation or the lack of it can do． Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin．（1）_______ Like the child on the diving board， you will stay undecided． （2）_______ More than that， how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？ First， you need to evaluate yourself， your values， your strengths， your weaknesses， your achievements， your desires， etc． Only then should you set your goals． You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation． This is quite important， because it is directly related to your commitment． There are times when your heart is not in your work． （3）_______ So， slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment． Clarity of thoughts can help you move forward． Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives， keeping in mind your beliefs， values and strengths． Remember that goals are flexible． They can change according to circumstances． They also need to be measurable． You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals． Your personal circumstances are equally important． For example， you may want to be a Pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough． （4）_______ You should reassess your goals， and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal． You will surely need to overcome some difficulties， some planned， but most unplanned． You cannot overcome them without ample motivation． Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals． ‎ IV. Summary Writing ‎ ‎ ‎8. Directions： Read the following passage． Summarize the main idea and the main point（s） of the passage in no more than 60 words． Use your own words as far as possible． Parents everywhere praise their kids． Jenn Berman， author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy and Confident Kids、says， "We've gone to the opposite extreme of a few decades ago when parents tended to be more strict．" By giving kids a lot of praise． Parents think they're building their children's confidence， when， in fact， it may be just the opposite． Too much praise can backfire and， when given in a way that's insincere， make kids afraid to try new things or take a risk for fear of not being able to stay on top where their parents' praise has put them． Still， don't go too far in the other direction． Not giving enough praise can be just as 第17页 共20页 ◎ 第18页 共20页 ‎ damaging as giving too much． Kids will feel like they're not good enough or that you don't care and， as a result， may see no point in trying hard for their accomplishments． So what is the right amount of praise？ Experts say that the quality of praise is more important than the quantity． If praise is sincere and focused on the effort not the outcome， you can give it as often as your child does something that deserves a verbal reward． "We should especially recognize our children's efforts to push themselves and work hard to achieve a goal，" says Donahue， author of Parenting Without Fear： Letting Go of Worry and Focusing on What Really Matters． "One thing to remember is that it's the process not the end product that matters．" Your son may not be the best basketball player on his team． But if he's out there every day and playing hard， you should praise his effort regardless of whether his team wins or loses． Praising the effort and not the outcome can also mean recognizing your child when she has worked hard to clean the yard， cook dinner， or finish a book report． But whatever it is， praise should be proportionate （相称的）to the amount of effort your child has put into it． ‎ V.
