The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scotti of San Francisco.Once he flew from the US to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home.The plane made a one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport(肯尼迪機場) of New York.As he thought he had arrived home,Mr。 Scotti got off the plane.He thought he Was in Rome.

When nobody was there to meet him,Mr。 Scotti thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic.While looking for their addresses,Mr。 Scotti found that the old“Rome”had changed a lot.Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones.

He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many street signs were written in English.

Mr。 Scotti knew very little English,so he asked a policeman(in Italian) the way to the bus station.He happened to meet a policeman who Was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language.

After twelve hours’ travelling round on a bus,the driver handed him over to a second policeman.He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian.

To get him on a plane back to San Francisco,he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens(警報) on.“Look,”said Scotti to his interpreter(翻譯),“I know I’m in Italy.That’s how they drive.”

Why is setting goals(目標)important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life。 Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen。

Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals。 11 It’s like having a sign to show you where you want to go。 Think of it this way。 There are two drivers。 One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map。 He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time。 The other driver has no goal, or a map。 12 But he drivers aimlessly(無目的地)around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil。 Which driver do you want to be?

13 They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans。 Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident。 Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach。 14 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life。

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it。

15 They are harder to forget。 Also when you write your goals in your own way,you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals。

根據材料內容,從下面五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項,使短文意思通順、內容完整。

A。 Written goals can be reviewed usually

B。 He starts off at the same time from the same place。

C。 It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are。

D。 By setting goals you are taking control of your life。

E。 Winners in life set goals and follow through on them。
