Setting Effective Goals
Avital Schweitzer, 17, is clearly goal-directed She works hard to achieve the various tasks in her life. This summer she attended a program at the University of California, Santa Barbara, for high school students who are interested in research.
Avital says that she rarely clearly states and discusses her goals. But goal-setting has always played a role in her life. During her junior year, for instance, she set personal goals to win a tennis championship and to become debate team captain.
Avital says, "In an academic environment when 1 set goals for myself, I often make lists that 1 need to complete in order to achieve them. The lists can include doing problem sets, meeting with a teacher or asking specific questions. When I run into difficulties, I reach out to resources for help or advice, like the Internet, my teachers or my parents. I think that learning about the best types of goals to set and standard methods to achieve these goals could be very useful in my day-to day life."
Who else is better to turn to for this kind of insight into the art and science of goal-setting than your own father? Avital's dad, Maurice Schweitzer, a Wharton professor of operations and information management, has researched the topic extensively. He said, "Goals are powerfully motivating and will help us get where we want to be. Across every field, people who set specific, challenging goals do better than people who go out and just aim to do their best."

While you're in a lift,waiting to reach your for do you ever wonder who came up with the idea? Probably not. We just expect to have safe lifts in buildings.
Lifts existed as far back as ancient Rome. But the ancient "lifts" weren't closed cars. They were simple platforms. They were typically used to raise up water for farming or lift heavy building materials such as stones. These lifts were powered by animals, people or even water wheels.
The first modern passenger lift was built for King Louis XV in 1743. The King's lift was installed (安装) on the outside of his palace. It went from the first to the second floor. The King entered it from his balcony, and then men raised and lowered the lift through the use of ropes and wheels.
Lifts became more common in the mid-1800s during the Industrial Revolution when they transported goods in factories and mines. These lifts were often based on a hydraulic (液压的) system. However, this type of lifts was impractical for tall building, although it became popular because it could operate with the public water system.
Another lift design (and the one found most often today in passenger lifts) uses a cable system, in which ropes raise and lower the car by means of a wheel and gear (齿轮) system. These types of lifts are easier to control, and buildings that have them do not need the extra room required by hydraulic systems. By the 1850s,these types of lifts had been powered by water pressure or steam.
11. The lifts in ancient Rome
A. had a closed structure
B. had a complicated design
C. were used in agriculture
D. were powered by steam
12. The first modern passenger lift was
A. raised and lowered by men
B. invented by King Louis XV
C. built for a public building
D. put on the inside of the King's palace
13. During the Industrial Revolution, lifts were
A. widely used in tall buildings
B. powered by a hydraulic system
C. rarely used in factories and mines
D. independent of the public water system
14. The lift based on a cable system
A. needs no wheels
B. is not used today
C. takes more space
D. is easy to operate
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Early History of Lifts
B. Popularity of Lifts
C. Structure of Lifts
D. Uses of Lifts

Summer Blues
➊ We students all have summer blues. It's that moment when we haven't left the house for days and the Internet has become our closest friend. This usually takes place in the heat of summer, when we forget there's a world outside of our rooms. It's usually our darkest hours, which is difficult to get out of, but not impossible.
❷ Getting a summer job can help provide structure for your life. Without school schedule, it's difficult to try to get out of bed. In fact, we've been training ourselves for most of summer to seep in until noon. But if you commit yourself to a job, then it can act as a reason to get up in the morning.
❸ Another way to avoid the summer blues is by living a healthier lifestyle Join a gym. Start shopping at your local market. Keep your room clean. Or maybe pick up a new hobby and become a master at it A little change in your life can have a significant effect in the long run.
❹ The best way to avoid getting in a bad state is by packing your summer full of camps. With a new adventure waiting around the comer every week, how will an individual not want to wake up? You can attend two or three camps every year. You will find that you've met some of your closest friends from summer camps.
❺ Sometimes, however, people do not realize they have suffered from the summer blues. They stay locked inside their houses for hours. If you know people like this, then call them up.
