听力原文：W: Hi, Jack! What is so interesting？
M: Hi, Jane. I'm thinking about a problem. (19) You know recently I have read about a book naming Setting Life Goal. I am deeply touched by it.
W: Really？ What is this book about？
M: You know Jerry White？
W: Yes. I know something about him.
M: He is so great that he always succeeds in whatever he does. Do you know why he is so successful？
W: Sorry, and why？
M: He succeeds because he has the definite life goals.
W: What is goal by your understanding then？
M: (20) A goal is something that a person hopes to get in the future. Everyone should have a goal or goals in life if he or she hopes to lead a successful life.
W: Ok. Tell me in detail about what the book says.
M: Well, there are three kinds of goals, they are, lifetime goals, intermediate goals and short-term goals.
W: What is a lifetime goal then？
M: A lifetime goal means the goal that a person hopes to get in all his life. (21) It should be clear, reasonable and written out, such as the goal to become a lawyer as you are longing for, and so on.
W: I see. But what kind of goal will be the intermediate goal？
M: It relates to the outcomes during the next few years.
W: Then the third one...
M: It is a short-term goal, which involves outcomes expected during the next twelve months. (22) This goal helps with achievement of intermediate goals,
W: Great! Goals actually are important for the different stages of our life. And now I must work out what are the life goals of mine.

D．He has contacted the writer.
The creative shaping process of a technologist's mind can be seen in nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might express individual ways of nonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber？ Where should the valves be placed？ Would it have a long or short piston？ Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirement, by limitations of available space, and not in the least by a sense of form. Some decisions, such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component design remains primary.
Design courses, then should be an essential element of engineering curricula. Nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, which is the special technique of the artists, not the scientist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to need "hard thinking", nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal mathematical thought.
If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the background required for practical problem-solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. For example, early modes of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because the fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are a reflection of the chaos that results when design is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.
In the passage, what is the writer primarily concerned with？
A．Identifying the kinds of thinking that are used by technologists.
B．Stressing the importance of scientific thinking in engineering design.
C．Proposing a new role for nonscientific thinking in engineering.
D．Contrasting the goals of engineers with those of technologists.
听力原文： In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The "spiderstory" is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. On the seventh time, he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English.
Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often. He replied,
"Failure？ 1 have no failures. Now, I know 50,000 ways that it won' t work."
So what？ First, always think about your failure. What caused it？ Were conditions right？ Were you in top form. yourself？ What can you change so that things may go right next time？
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one？ Try to do some titivating about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, "If I do succeed in this, where will it gel me？" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn' t be doing anyway.
The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to live with yourself even though you may have failed. Remember, you can't win them all .

Going through life as a perfectionist will always damage
your self-esteem and strip you of any warm feelings of self-acceptance
you may have for yourself. That's because the
impossible high demands you make of yourself--and the unrealistic 【S1】______
expectations you place on other--will invite only disappointment,
self-repudiation (批判), and widespread unhappiness.
Prevent Perfectionism
Living your life as a perfectionist will also set you up for 【S2】______
continuous rejection and self-putdowns--and deny you for peace
of mind--because demand perfection usually results in failure. 【S3】______
And even if you achieve an exceptional result, chances are
whether you'll still be unhappy, as you'll find additional reasons 【S4】______
for not being good enough. That's the destructible nature of 【S5】______
perfectionism and that's why it destroys self-esteem. Nothing is ever
good enough.
Remember, being a perfectionist may paralyze your future
chances of success--in either your personal or your professional
life-because you'll eventually fear taking any new actions that
might produce an imperfection result. Preventing perfectionism 【S6】______
begins saying no to unreasonably high demands that produce 【S7】______
only failure and self-contempt. The new way of thinking acquires 【S8】______
you to choose goals that are easier to achieve and are within the
realm of your possibilities. Moderating your expectations--and 【S9】______
stop focusing on faults and flaws--and then watch your performance
and self-esteem soar.
Power of Failure
Failure is a teacher and can be the source of much personal
growth. Experiencing failure--and learning to judge your own
capabilities--demonstrates that you have .the strength to accept
life's challenges. Never condemn yourself for not succeeding.
That's being unfair to yourself. See success for what it really is: 【S10】______
an opportunity to discover that future success lies in another
strategy or direction. You will achieve your next goal if you learn
from your past mistakes.

In many Western societies, such as the United States or Canada,【C1】______many different nationalities, religious groups and cultural orientations, individualism and independent thinking are【C2】______valued. And these values are reflected by the education systems in these countries. Teachers【C3】______the qualities that make each student special. Students are【C4】______expected to memorize information; instead, they are encouraged to【C5】______, find answers on their own and【C6】______individual solutions. At an early age, students learn to form. their own ideas and opinions, and to ex press their ideas in class discussion.
In Japan,【C7】______, the vast majority of people share the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education system there reflects a belief in group goals and traditions【C8】______individualism. Japanese schoolchildren often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teacher is the main【C9】______of knowledge: He or she lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion;【C10】______, the students recite rules or information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the education system in Japan is that students there learn the social skill of cooperation.【C11】______advantage is that they learn much more math and science than most American students. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than their North American【C12】______do. The system is demanding, but it【C13】______children for a society that values discipline and self-control. There are, however, disadvantages. For one thing, many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they memorized.【C14】______, the extremely demanding system puts enormous psychological pressure【C15】______students, and is considered a【C16】______factor in the high suicide rate among Japanese school-age children.
The advantage of the education system in North America,【C17】______, is that students learn to think for themselves. They learn to【C18】______to make decisions and take action without someone telling them what to do. There are drawbacks, however.【C19】______other things, American high school graduates haven't studied as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have. And many social critics【C20】______the high crime rate in the US at least partially to a lack of discipline in the schools.

It seems that only when government decides it can afford tax incentives or production sacrifices is there any initiative for change. Where is industry's and our recognition that protecting mankind's great treasure is the single most important responsibility？ If ever there will be time for environmental health professionals to come to the frontlines and provide leadership to solve environmental problems, that time is now.
We are being asked, and, in fact, the public is demanding that we take positive action. It is our responsibility as professionals in environmental health to make the difference. Yes, the ecologists, the environmental activists and the conservationists serve to communicate, stimulate thinking and promote behavioral change. However, it is those of us who are paid to make the decisions to develop, improve and enforce environmental standards, I submit, who must lead the charge.
We must recognize that environmental health issues do not stop at city limits, county lines, state or even federal boundaries. We can no longer afford to be tunnel-visioned in our approach. We must visualize issues from every perspective to make the objective decisions. We must express our views clearly to prevent media distortion and public confusion. I believe we have a three-part mission for the present. First, we must continue to press for improvements in the quality of life that people can make for themselves. Second, we must investigate and understand the link between environment and health. Third, we must be able to communicate technical information in a form. that citizens can understand. If we can accomplish these three goals in this decade, maybe we can finally stop environmental degradation, and not merely hold it back. We will then be able to spend pollution dollars truly on prevention rather than on bandages.
We can infer from the first two paragraphs that the industrialists disregard environmental protection chiefly because ______.
A．they are unaware of the consequences of what they are doing
B．they are reluctant to sacrifice their own economic interests
C．time has not yet come for them to put due emphasis on it
D．it is difficult for them to take effective measures
