(2024·湘潭高三模拟)It’s almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.If you have a fear of failure，you might be uncomfortable setting goals.But goals help us decide where we want to go in life.Without goals，we have no sure destination.
Many experts recommend visualization (形象化) as a powerful tool for goal setting.Imagining how life will be after you’ve reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. However，visualization might produce the opposite results in people who have a fear of failure. In his article，researcher Thomas Langens showed that people who have a fear of failure were often left in a strong negative mood(消极情绪) after being asked to visualize goals and goal attainment.
So，what can you do instead?
Start by setting a few small goals.These should be goals that are slightly，but not overwhelmingly，challenging. Think of these goals as “early wins” that are designed to help improve your confidence.For example，if you’ve been too afraid to talk to the new department head (who has the power to give you the promotion you want)，then make this your first goal：Plan to stop by her office during the next week to introduce yourself.Or，imagine that you’ve dreamed of returning to school to get your MBA(工商管理硕士)，but you’re convinced that you’re not smart enough to be accepted into business school.Set a goal to talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see what’s required for admission.
Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals.Don’t focus on the end picture：getting the promotion，or graduating with an MBA.Just focus on the next step：introducing yourself to the department head，and talking to an admissions officer.That’s it.
Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence，keep you moving forward，and prevent you from getting overwhelmed with visions of your final goal.
1．Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the fear of failure
B．the difficulty in setting goals
C．the reasons for failure
D．the importance of setting goals
2．The opinion of Thomas Langens is used to ________.
A．tell the results of setting goals
B．prove the limitations of visualization
C．draw the readers’ attention to the topic
D．stress the importance of visualization
3．The fourth paragraph is developed mainly by ______.
A．analyzing causes
B．making comparisons
C．following the order of space
D．giving examples
4．When setting goals，you should ________.
A．concentrate on your final goals
B．talk with your department head
C．begin with some small goals
D．have confidence in your success
5．What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Skills to set your goals.
B．Ways to overcome your fear of failure.
C．Having a goal is vital to success.
D．Visualization is a powerful tool for goal setting.

First，you need to be on time to your classes.Take notes in class.If you do it，then you will be on your way to becoming a very successful student.
It is wise that you raise your hand to ask your teacher questions，if you are totally lost.I highly recommend that you introduce yourself at the first class meeting.Ask thought－provoking(令人深思的) questions.
Make sure that you know what is going to be on your next test.You just may be thinking that is difficult to do，but it is not.Just ask the instructor if certain bits and pieces of information in your notes will be on the upcoming exam.Usually，the instructor gives out hints and tips to his class.For example，he or she might say，this is going to be on the next exam，note this，or remember that.
Now，let’s dig into the real mechanics of getting great grades：
Multiple intelligence is a wonderful way of learning.Pick out something that you wish to learn.Close your eyes and try to remember bits and pieces of that information.
Visualization.As you read or study，try to picture what you come across.Try out with children’s books and good reading materials that you like.
Progressive relaxation.Before entering a major assignment，take deep breaths as you count down from 10 to 1 with eyes closed.After that，you should be in a much better position to handle a future assignment.
