Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Goals give our lives meaning and help us become better versions of ourselves. 16
Have you started working towards your goal but over time felt that it's just too high a mountain to climb?
As humans，we are built to naturally see the problems and easily punish ourselves for bad
behaviour. Our mindset can bring us down when we feel we've failed. 17
So what is the secret to achieving big goals? Many people may put the success of others
down to luck or a natural talent. 18 Most of the time it is down to a particular mindset and the way of looking at their goals as a whole.
19 It took Edison almost 10，000 attempts to create a light bulb—that's a huge number of“failures”. But in response to his repeated failures，he said，“I have not failed. I've just found 10，000 ways that won't work.”It's quite clear that he had a mindset and a positive perspective that allowed him to celebrate those small steps and see them as achievements.
The key to success is realising that our big goals aren't going to happen overnight. 20
It is the combination of those small things over time that leads to the achievement of the big goals.
A. Yes，this can be the case，but not always.
B. We all want to be successful in our goals.
C. Take Thomas Edison，who invented the light bulb for example.
D. This usually results in giving up on dreams and goals.
E. We tend to focus on the end goals rather than the small steps.
F. We must invest in the small things over a long period of time.
G. But have you ever tried to reach a big goal only to eventually give up?
