“Ring! Ring! Ring!” The telephone rang for a long time in Bill Hewlett’s house. Bill was the director of a large 21 company called Hewlett-Packard. At that time, computers had already 22 but they were huge machines that cost a lot of money.
Bill answered the telephone 23 . He did not like being disturbed while he was reading his newspaper. A young-sounding 24 on the other line said, “My name is Steve Jobs. I am a 25 of the Hewlett-Packard Explorers’ Club. I went on a fieldtrip to one of your company’s laboratories and was 26 by the 9100A computer. I’ve never seen anything so splendid!” He 27 for a while and continued. “I am looking for some computer 28 and will use them to build a frequency counter. Well, I thought you might be able to29 me.”

A few days later, Bill Hewlett gave Steve what he needed. Steve was also offered a 33 job in one of his laboratories.
Eight years later, Steve Jobs set up a 34 with his close friend, Steve Wozniak. Their first step was to find a 35 for the company. Steve Jobs loved apples and had worked on an apple 36 before. Although there was no 37 between apples and computers,
38 thought “Apple” would be a catchy name. “I like the name. We’ll be in a great 39 in the telephone directory,” Steve Wozniak said confidently. That was how Apple was 40 in 1976.

I am sure that if you study hardly, you will succeed. I'm looking forward to hearing a good news from you.

Why can’t some people even get an inch of what they dream of becoming? Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams.
Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period.
People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals.
By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them.
Goal surroundings means a person is proactive (主动的) in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes.
Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people become more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans.
49. The purpose of this passage is to _______________.
A. explain the difference between the two goals.
B. show the importance of surrounding goals.
C. tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals.
D. tell us setting goals makes one confident.
50. According to the author, one had better ___________ in making a goal in life.
A. take an active attitude B. create a scheme as a whole
C. consider the possible troubles D. check where he is frequently
51. From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that___________________.
A. achievements come to those who are well prepared
B. everyone faces the situation which is scaring or threatening
C. the higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will have
D. success never comes to people who always blame
