Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Why can't some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams. Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period. People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals. By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them. Goal surroundings means a person is prepared in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes. Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans. Question: According to the author, one had better _ in making a goal in life. Options: A: take an active attitude B: create a scheme as a whole C: consider the possible troubles D: check where he is frequently
Answer: C

Question: Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Beijing (Xinhua): When she appeared on stage, singing a Japanese song, hundreds of excited teenagers crowded around shouting, "Curarpikt !Its Curarpikt!" At the Beijing Comic and Animation Expo last week, that's exactly who Shi Jia was. The Senior 1 girl was cosplaying "Curarpikt", a character from the popular Japanese comic book Hunter X Hunter (<<>> ) by Yoshihiro Togashi. "I cosplay Curarpikt because I like him," said the pretty 15-year-old girl. "I'm moved by his sad story and I'm attracted by his courage and personality." In the adventure comic story, Curarpikt, a handsome and kind-hearted boy, struggles to become a hunter so he can capture the people who killed his tribe. Shi has read all the comic books and is a big fan of the animated series of Hunter X Hunter. Then last year she saw a real "Curarpikt" in a cosplay show. "I had watched cosplay shows before but only for fun," she explained. "It's really exciting to see young people wearing the make up and costumes of characters that you've read about and are familiar with." "But that time I just fell in love with cosplaying, probably because I like Curarpikt so much. I thought I could play the character better, so I decided to have a go." Shi bought some cloth and asked a tailor to make a Curarpikt costume for her. She was delighted to find out there was a cosplay show in Beijing in October. "It's a great way to spend the national holiday. Posing on the stage for all the comic book fans, I knew I was doing something I had always wanted to do," she said. But she never talks about her hobby with her parents. "They think it will distract me from my studies. I don't want to upset them, that's my secret hobby," she said. "It's also why I don't dye my hair for cosplaying like all the others." Question: Which of the following is WRONG? Options: A: Curarpikt was created by a Japanese cartoonist. B: Shi Jia's parents were in favor of her performance. C: Shi Jia cosplayed Curarpikt successfully. D: Cosplay is popular with some teenagers.
