Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It's life having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place 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 map.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} But she drives aimlessly(无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 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.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} You are the one who must decide what to achieve and what direction you want to aim your life.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#} 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 closer to your goals.

    Do you and your classmates like Doraemon? Yes, it is a popular cat.

    But you know, he is not a real cat but a robot（机器人）. The cat is a famous cartoon character（卡通人物）from Japan. Doraemon is from the 22^nd century. I love Doraemon and I also love his 2,000 amazing gadgets（小玩意）!

    Doraemon has a bamboo-copter（竹蜻蜓）. Put it on your head, and you can fly in the air. With a copter like this, I don't need to go to school by bike any more. The bamboo-copter flies at 80 km per hour. It's fast.

    Here is the jelly translator（果冻翻译器）. Eat this jelly and then you can speak and understand any language in the world. You can also understand what animals say.

    Doraemon has a great door. It can take you to any place you want. First say the name of the place, and then pass through the door. You can get to that place in no time.

    Doraemon also has memory（记忆）bread. Take a piece of the bread. Stick（粘贴）it onto a page of a book. Eat it, and you can remember everything on the page quickly. But I don't like this kind of bread. Learning new things is fun, but eating it isn't, right?

    How I wish I could have some of these gadgets!

    The life has been full of challenges and difficulties. Life is not about the smartest person or the strongest person, or even the richest person.

    One of my favorite poems is called "Crystal Stair" written by Langston Hughes. In that poem, a mother tells her son that life is tough, you will meet rocks and hard places, but the end is victory to those who stand their ground and ride the course.

    Whatever you are facing, you can make it through. There is a rainbow on the other side of your situation. Stay strong, stay focused and never give up.

    At East China University of Science and Technology, students who finish their food in the campus canteen get a coupon (优惠券) when they return their trays(托盘). Students can collect coupons and exchange them for small gifts, such as books, magazines and mobile phone covers.

    “It has been such a surprise,” said Liang Zhaoyun, 19, a student in this university. “It has given us one more motivation (动机)to finish our food.”

    “The aim of the activity is not only to encourage students to finish their food. We hope it can also motivate students to choose a more environment-friendly and healthier lifestyle,” said Tao Siliang, a teacher of this university.

    But some canteen food is poorly prepared, meaning that students are not willing to finish it all.

    What if you really can't finish all your food? The canteen provides a take-away service. “If you can't finish all your food,  ②  .Even if you feed the cat, it's not wasted,” said Zhou Zeyong, another student of this university.

    “I'm glad that we've reduced waste since starting the campus ‘eat-up' activity. But if we  ③  students not to waste food, we should also improve the meals in campus canteens,” said Wang.
