Part B Read the following texts from an article in
which people talked about goals. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each
person to one of the statements(A to G)given below. Mary The quest for success
always begins with a target. As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra once said,
"You got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you
might not get there." Too many people wander through life
sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, "What am I
doing with my life" And they don’t know what they’re doing because they lack
goals. Goal-setting is a focusing of the will to move in a
certain direction. Begin with a clear conception of what you want. Write down
your goals and date them—putting them into words clarifies them. Rather than
concentrating on objects to acquire and possess, focus on fulfilling your
desires to do, to produce, to contribute—goal-setting yields the true sense of
satisfaction we all need. John
My father was 17 when he left the farm in Cameron, N. C, and set off for
Baltimore to apply for a job at the Martin Aircraft Company. When asked what he
wanted to do, he said, "Everything." Whenever he went to a new
department, he looked for the guys who had been around forever. These were the
people novices usually avoided, afraid that next to them they’d look like the
beginners they were. Whatever your goals, plan to network with
those who know more than you. Model your efforts on theirs, adjusting and
improving as you go. Betty The
biggest difference between people who succeed and those who don’t is not usually
talent but persistence. Many brilliant people give up. Who wants to run the risk
of getting knocked down again and again But highly successful people don’t
quit. It’s often been said that they are just individuals who got up one more
time than they fell down. Mike
Without a deep commitment it is difficult to pursue a dream. Great success
requires risk whether financial, social or physical. Always, emotional risk is
involved. We can’t play safe if we want to win in life. Hanson Reread your list of goals now and
then. If you decide one should be adjusted or replaced with a better one, make
corrections. And when you have achieved your goal or made a big step toward it,
celebrate. It can be anything you enjoy--to mark the moment and rekindle the
vision. But it shouldn’t end there. After a goal is reached many
people ease up. That’s why it’s possible for this year’s top sales agent to
become next year’s has-been. If life is leaving you out in the
cold, do something about it. Turn up the heat. Strive. It’s worth
it. Statements A. Define your goals. B. Seek out those who know more
than you. C. Pursue your vision with stubborn consistency. D. Give up in
proper time. E. Make an emotional commitment. F. Learn how to get along
well with others. G. Review and renew your goals. Mary
