コミュニケーション英語Ⅰ・Ⅱ

Ⅰ. 次の英文を読んで、以下の 1～3 の問いに答えなさい。
Another year has already begun. If you are like millions of people around the world, the New Year has brought with it new goals.
What are your goals like? Perhaps you want to save money, lose weight, or pass an examination. Achieving a goal, no matter how
small, feels good. In addition, when we do not work on our goals, we may end up feeling guilty or not successful.
So, how can we find time to work on these larger life goals? Well, many websites address this issue, and they offer some ofthe same advice: If you want to achieve something, clearly identify it and write it down.
As you identify your goals, be specific. If a goal is too general, it may be hard to pursue, let alone achieve it. Let’s say your goal
is to get in better physical shape. That’s a fine idea -- but psychologists might say as a goal, it is too general.
To make the goal more specific, you could sign up for1 a regular exercise class. So, whether you are dancing, doing yoga orkickboxing, you have a regular commitment every week. You could also say your goal is to lose a certain amount of weight in acertain amount of time.
Experts say writing down your goal is a very important step. It gets the goal out of your brain and into the real world. Some
psychologists2 suggest that writing a goal on paper is better than typing it on a device or saying it into your phone. Your brain
receives information differently when it comes from handwriting. Writing things down seems to say to the brain, “I am important!
Remember me!”Writing has another benefit; you can post your goal somewhere as a reminder. As you sit down at your computer or pour yourmorning coffee, your goal stares you in the face and asks, “What are you going to do about me today?”One expert, Ryder Carroll, helps people organize their life’s goals by using a simple notebook. He suggests thinking about yourgoals not as a final destination3, but rather as lighthouses guiding you along.
It is the pursuit of your goals -- not the reaching of them -- that makes up the weeks, days and hours of our lives. So make sureto have fun along the way!
