VI. Answer the following questions.
Do you have a goal for life? What's it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person? A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “improving one's life quality (质量)”, “finding a good job”.
Li Hua worked in a small firm in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn't have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the job was not exciting and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Shanghai in February, 2019. When he arrived in Shanghai, he set his new goal as finding a good job.
Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people's life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his or her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one's life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn't have a diploma (文凭), studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; if one doesn't have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he will waste his lifetime.”
1. Did Li Hua have to work for extra hours when he worked in Nanjing?
2. Why did Li Hua give up his job in a small firm?
3. What was his goal in Shanghai?
4. If one doesn't have a diploma, what will his life goal be?
5. From Li Hua's story, what can we infer (推断) about his attitude towards life?

VI. Answer the following questions.
Do you have a goal for life? What's it? Do you want to become a writer, singer or just become a rich person? A recent survey shows that in modern society, most people pick up practical goals, such as “earning money to buy a house and a car”, “improving one's life quality (质量)”, “finding a good job”.
Li Hua worked in a small firm in Nanjing. The job was good and he didn't have to work for extra hours. However, he felt the job was not exciting and the life was boring. So he gave up his job and went to Shanghai in February, 2019. When he arrived in Shanghai, he set his new goal as finding a good job.
Nowadays more and more people want to live a better life. This fact shows that the society is making progress and people's life goals have become more practical. One researcher says, “Everybody has his or her own life goal, which will be surely different from people to people. If one is poor, one's life goal will be to earn more money; if one doesn't have a diploma (文凭), studying hard to get a diploma will become his life goal; if one doesn't have love, his life goal will be to look for it. But if one has no life goal, he will waste his lifetime.”
1. Did Li Hua have to work for extra hours when he worked in Nanjing?
2. Why did Li Hua give up his job in a small firm?
3. What was his goal in Shanghai?
4. If one doesn't have a diploma, what will his life goal be?
5. From Li Hua's story, what can we infer (推断) about his attitude towards life?

D1 Think Read and think about how to describe the personal experience or story.
Mr. Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office, so he was able to drive home every day for lunch. His wife was a good cook and he enjoyed the one - hour lunch time. But he had a problem. Every time he drove home at noon, he found cars were parked at the road outside his house, and there was no space for his own car. ① He had to drive somewhere else and then walked back. ② This made him very angry. He put up a board which said, “No parking” in the garden facing the road, but nobody noticed it. People seemed to obey only a police notice with letters on a blue board: POLICE NOTICE——NO PARKING. Mrs. Brown suggested that he should make one just like a police notice. ③ Several days later, Mr. Brown made a blue board with white letters: POLITE NOTICE——NO PARKING. ④ Mrs. Brown said, “You told me you weren't going to use the word ‘police’, but why do you use it now?” “Really?” he asked, “Look again.” She started to laugh. “You are really clever.” From then on, Mr. Brown managed to park his car in the right place.
