It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries typical （特有的）of the region. Besides, you can meet and make friends with people of different colours and races. Finally, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries.

The main reason why people travel is, for pleasure, having worked hard throughout the weekends, people will find a trip to the nearby mountains or beaches for a real relaxation. For another example, spending a holiday traveling abroad every year is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder.

Traveling is also one of the best means for learning. You may have read or heard about something but you can never get an accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself. Seeing is believing. Furthermore, if you are a careful observer, you can learn much during your travel about the geography, biology, and history of the places you visit. No matter how well educated you are, there is always a lot for you to learn through travelling. The knowledge got from travel, as you will have found in your life, is of the same value as that from any useful reference book.

There was once a man who had a donkey and a beautiful lapdog. The donkey was kept in a barn and had plenty of corn and hay to eat. Indeed, he was just as lucky as any donkey could be. The little dog stayed in the house and was well liked by the master. He was always playing and jumping about in an funny way and was allowed to lie in his master’s lap(膝蓋). Meanwhile, the donkey had plenty to do. He pulled wood all day long and had to take his turn at the mill during the night. He often complained about his problems, and it bored him to see the lapdog living such an easy life, while he had to work so hard. Finally he thought to himself that if he acted the same way as the lapdog to his master, he would be treated the same way. So, one day he ran out of his barn and went fast into the house, where he began to kick about in a very strange way. Then, swaying his tail and imitating the funny behavior of the pet lapdog, he knocked over the table where his master was eating. He also broke all the dishes into very small pieces and did not stop until he jumped onto his master, trying to lick and paw him with his rough feet.

Seeing their master in great danger, the servants thought it was time to help him. They beat the foolish donkey with sticks until he could not get up again. As he was about to die, he cried, “Why couldn’t I have remained satisfied the way I was? Why did I try to imitate a creature who was nothing but a lazy puppy after all?”

Smith entered Mr. Watson's office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn't do well without giving them a second chance.

"Smith,"said Mr. Watson," this past year your department hasn't earned money. We're going to drop that department. It's finished. I'm sorry, but you'll have to go.""But, sir, if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School."

"What's that!" said the boss. "Riverside！I didn't know you had a boy there. That's an expensive school for a man with your salary."

"I know,sir. But he likes it there so much！He's a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ(冠軍) there."

The boss sat perfectly still for a long time---a faraway(恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said,"We've got to close your department, Smith. But you'll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours, maybe more pay. Now get out.You're here for life."

Smith got out, with surprise on his face.Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie's last letter from Riverside School written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain.

The letter read：

I can't say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it's the same everywhere when you're a cripple(跛腳的人). But don't worry about me, Dad. They've got a good chemistry department here. And there's one boy here who is really great. He's a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big that he won't even know about.

Choosing the Right Resolution（決定）

Millions of Americans began 2014,with the same resolution they started 2013 with,a goal of losing weight. However,setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.

To reach our goal of losing weight—the output,we need to control what we eat—the input（輸入）.That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution:"I'll stop having dessert for lunch,"or "I'll walk every day for 20 minutes."Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.

Recently a new science behind incentives（激勵）,including in education,has been discussed.For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school.In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input,like reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on output,like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output.Fryer's conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam,aside from general rules like "study harder."Reading certain books,on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.

As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher chance of success.And it's easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly what you need to do.

If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe,for example.This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn't a goal because it's too general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your family, don't stop with this general wish.Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night every Wednesday.

In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.

1.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because .

A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans

B. it is focused too much on the result

C. it is dependent on too many things

D. it is based on actionable decisions

2.In Roland Fryer's research,some students did better than the others because .

A. they obeyed all the general rules

B. they paid more attention to exams

C. they were motivated by their classmates

D. they were rewarded for reading some books

3.According to the writer,which of the following statements is a good goal?

A. "I'll give up dessert."

B. "I'll study harder."

C. "I'll cut down my expense."

D. "I'll spend more time with my family."

4.The writer strongly believes that we should .

A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome

B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them

C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits

D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output
