Dreaming big doesn’t mean we suddenly want to be a millionaire or become famous. That’s because “bigger” is a relative term. If we currently have no dreams, dreaming bigger might just mean a small goal that we want to reach. But even that is not always easy. So how do you start dreaming bigger?
Cultivate Confidence. To achieve big things, you have to believe that you can. Therefore, the first thing we need to dream big is to get a confidence boost. Try to remember a time when you succeeded in doing something you set your mind to. ____16____
Face Fear of Failure. The fear of doing something big can be intense. What if we fail? What then? If this sounds like you, it may be helpful to develop the belief that growth and learning are more important than success or other people’s opinions. ____17____ That way we can better enjoy the pursuit, even if it ultimately does result in failure.
Face Fear of Success. Success can mean different things to different people. For example, success might mean feeling like the odd one out in your family or friend group. ____18____ Or, it could lead to jealousy from others. But taking a closer outlook at these fears and thinking about how you might deal with them can help you move through them.
Use Your Imagination. ____19____ Maybe you imagine yourself owning your own business, having a big family, or traveling all over the world. Then does living this life feel good or authentic? Use this exercise to better understand which big dreams are a good fit for you.
Enjoy the Process. Sometimes we end up spending so much time focusing on big dreams that we forget to enjoy the process. Indeed, big dreams can help us imagine a life or a future we’ve never known. ____20____ If we don’t enjoy the process, it’s going to be tough to get there.
A. But big dreams take time.
B. We are taking control of our lives.
C. Striving towards dreams can decrease well-being.
D. It might mean more responsibility than you really want.
E. Use your experiences as inspiration and self-motivation.
F. Start by visualizing a variety of different possible exciting outcomes.
G. It can help you shift your focus to the journey instead of the end goal

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Work smarter, not harder.” When it comes to studying, there are some very specific ways you can improve your effectiveness without adding loads of extra work.
Create a game plan. Before you begin your study session, create a game plan for exactly how you will study. Consider what you will study, how long you'll spend on each subject and what study methods you will use. 31 Take at least 10 minutes before your study session to map out your game plan.
Outline your notes. Taking the time to boil your notes down to a standard outline can help you grasp the overall concepts you're studying.You certainly can borrow or copy someone else' s notes, but you must work hard to put everything in your own words. 32 Many times, understanding the big picture is just as important as remembering all the individual facts. Outlining allows you to file individual facts under larger ideas.
Maintain balance. Balance can be difficult to maintain in school but it's crucial for success. 33 Seek to carry out a balanced life.Make sure to maintain a social life and develop hobbies outside of school.Stay in touch with your family and keep them informed of your school progress. It's certainly a challenge,but living in balance will keep you on the path to success.
34 If you want to do well in school, you simply have to do it.But there are specific ways to study better.To make the most of your limited time. 35 By following the methods above, you can raise the quality of your studying sessions without necessarily increasing the quantity.
A. To keep from spinning your wheels.
B. There’s no way to get around studying.
C. Write out your notes by hand during class.
D. If you don't, you'll fail to understand the larger concept.
E. This allows you to study the right materials at the right time.
F. The last thing you want to do is bury yourself in a mountain of books.
G. Don't spend all your time studying or all your time hanging with friends.

“If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need. ” This is a piece of wise advice from Warren Buffet, arguably one of the greatest financial minds of the 21st century. 36 This is true especially in the present economic climate.
While the idea of being frugal (节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture, the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country. Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing, transportation and food, which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money. 37
The internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money. For example, clothes can be bought second-hand, but you should never skip a visit to the dentist. 38 In the meanwhile, you should limit those that are fancy but not entirely necessary. Of course, it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation, but buying thirty pairs of shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor sustainable.
Hopefully, we all fully understand at this point that the resources on the earth are indeed limited. 39 As a result, the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one’s wallet, but also beneficial to the planet in the long run. Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limited-edition sneakers? 40
A. A continuous growth model on this planet is by no means sustainable.
B. These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.
C. They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.
D. It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health.
E. It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a dominant trend.
F. Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.
G. If so, it is high time you started making changes for yourself and for all humanity.
4.阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. 36
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. 37 Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasised by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.
38 The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
39 The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. 40 Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A. Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.
