Ⅰ. 阅读理解

A

(2025·山东德州期中)It's one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures.Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age.

The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace.Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change.However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong.These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others.

During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on.Overall, a child's goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood.Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be.So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up!

“Our work proves a strong connection between a child's life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes.This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals.Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential，” Damian concludes.
