The following are some important reasons why you need to set goals for yourself.
1. Having a goal written down with a set date for accomplishment(完成)gives you something to plan and work for.
2. Most of us have big dreams that seem impossible to accomplish. It's easy to feel disappointed when you're staring at a difficult task. Proper goal setting can help break larger aspirations(愿望)into smaller and more achievable stepping stones.
3. Sometimes, looking back on a goal you set for yourself six months, or one year ago, you realize that you were supposed to accomplish a lot more than you actually did. It's a sign that whatever you're doing isn't working. So you need to make real changes if you want to get where you want to be.
4. There are times when we set goals that don't really show what we want. Sometimes we think we need more money, when we really need a change of environment. By asking ourselves what we really want and continually reconsidering our goals, we can find out what we really want in life.
5. Imagine you're on vacation. Wouldn't you want to find out exactly what you want to see with the limited(有限的)time? In many ways, life is like a vacation. We're given a limited amount of time to pursue the experiences we want and then before you know it, it's time to go. Without a clear sense of what you want to do you'll never be able to live life to the fullest.
A. Goals move you forward.
B. Goals help you live life to the fullest.
C. Goals help you make more money.
D. Goals hold you accountable (对……负责) for failure.
E. Goals tell you what you truly want.
F. Goals help to turn difficult tasks into easy ones.
Many people believe eating healthily is expensive—and more costly than buying junk foods. But our new research, published in the BMC Pubic Health, shows this isn't the truth.
Most of the Australian family food budget(预算)is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.
Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily. The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks. As a result, two-thirds of adults (63%) and one-quarter of children are overweight.
We used the Australian Health Survey 2011—2013 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks. We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high and low-socioeconomic(社会经济地位低的)areas in Brisbane, and compared the diet prices with family incomes.
In both areas, a family of two adults and two children spend about 18% more on present diets than would be required to buy healthy diets. About 58% of the food budget for present diets is spent on junk foods, including takeaway foods(14%), and sugary drinks(4%)．
In the low-socioeconomic area, a family of two adults and two children spend $640. 20 every two weeks on their present diets, but could buy a healthy diet for $560. 93 every two weeks. In the high-socioeconomic area, these numbers are $661. 92 and $580. 01.
Supermarket food prices were about 3% higher in the high-socioeconomic location. Takeaway foods were also relatively more expensive, but sugary drinks were priced similarly in both areas.
Present diets cost more than healthy diets, so it is surely not the price that helps to drive preferences for unhealthy choices.

A.Most Australians eat unhealthily.

D.Australians have a preference for sweet foods.
2.How did the researchers get the result?
A.By carrying out interviews.
B.By doing the study online.
C.By making a comparison.
D.By asking personal questions.

A.Australian foods are healthier.
B.A healthy diet is actually cheaper.
C.Health foods are becoming more expensive.
D.People choose junk foods for their low prices.
4.What might the following paragraph be about?
