Everyone needs help sometimes. People depend on one another. That’s why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it.

For example, what would we do without a community fire station? If a home catches fire, as the Jackson place did last week, it might be burned down and people get hurt or worse. We’re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire safely. If the fire station hadn’t come so fast, the Jacksons might have lost everything.

And what about our local police who protect our families, our homes and valuable things? “The police have helped so many families this past year, especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains.

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community. We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary; we have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us, but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school, and the doctors and nurses in our community hospitals?

Think again about what we eat every day; think again about what we wear every day. We cannot produce them, but we use them all the time. We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running. We need these people in the community. We depend on each other. Let’s support each other and help each other. Only in this way can we make our community a better place.

Have you ever stopped to think about your life goals? Life goals are the things you’d like to achieve, in order to be satisfied with your future and who you become. Luckily for you, this passage is all about how to set life goals that will set you up for a life of success.

Find what you love doing. If you do a job you really don’t like, you may feel like you are wasting your time and doing nothing useful. Luckily, it’s never too late to find your true hobbies and turn them into something more. Be honest about what you enjoy and what you don’t. Listen to your instincts (本能) and you’ll find it.

Start taking care of yourself. Let this be one of the personal goals you set: to finally make more time for yourself. Start saying “no” when you don’t want to do something. And say “yes” to the desires (渴望) that you’ve been hiding deeply for so long. Self care is a way of life. It can begin by writing a journal and experiencing all the healthy benefits it brings.

Learn to give. Another one of the examples of life goals worth setting is about giving, because it’s true that the more you give, the more you will get in return. Giving means leaving behind your own wants and needs to see if you can be of help to others.

9. Setting life goals can help you be pleased with your _________.

A．dream

B．future

C．job

D．health

10. If you don’t like your job, you’ll think you _________.

请阅读下列材料，并根据文章内容回答问题。

Amy and Susan both live an average(平凡的) life. They have an average house, an average job and an average family. There is really nothing special about their lives, but there is also nothing really negative(负面的) about their lives.

However, when they are both happy, it always seems that Amy is happier than Susan. It looks like nothing can trouble Amy. She is the life of the party and always has a big smile on her face.

Susan can’t stop thinking about this. How is Amy so happy when they both lead such similar lives? They go to the same stores, watch the same movies, even have similar dreams! Between one’s daily life and personal dreams, it seems no one can be so happy and stress-free all the time. There are always a million things going on. How can Amy be so carefree(无忧虑的) when life is so stressful?

Let’s think more about it. What is the difference between these two friends? Why does Amy’s life seem so much better most of the time? What can we learn from Amy?

The problem with Susan is that she spreads herself tooth in. Not physically, but in her own head. It means she tries to do everything at once and thinks about everything at once. But Amy takes everything one step at a time. She stays present in the moment(活在当下) and allows herself to focus on just one thing at a time. What’s more, she is never over-anxious(过度焦虑的) .

When you live each moment to its fullest when you deal with where you are and are present in the now, most of your stress will go away.

41. Is Susan as happy as Amy in her daily life?

42. Why does Susan think no one can be so happy and stress-free all the time?

44. Do you agree with the idea that we should take everything one step at a time? Why or why not?
