Hita Gupta used to volunteer at a nursing home, trying to brighten the days of the residents. Now she spreads sunshine far and wide.
As a 15-year-old sophomore (高二学生) at Conestoga High School, Hita has created a nonprofit organization that specializes in bringing cheer to socially isolated seniors. Her Brighten A Day foundation started out by sending good ie bags (礼包) with an adult coloring book, a large-print puzzle book and crayons to Philadelphia-area nursing homes and sending letters with uplifting messages to facilities in neighboring states.
Hita has since widened the scope (范围) of her project, which is backed by donations through a Go Fund Me page as well as the work of an expanding army of volunteers. The project has reached as far as Hawaii and now includes video messages as well as the delivery of smart devices to help residents communicate with loved ones .“We’ve been able to reach so many seniors— who are among the loneliest people in our society—and let them know they are not alone,”Hita said.
Hita's project has lifted spirits at the Genesis Wayne Center, according to Kaylee Nichols, the facility's director. “It's impressive to sec a high school student take that kind of initiative,” Nichols said. “That generation, they normally don't think about seniors.”
Hita was motivated to take action when officials at the nursing home where she used to volunteer said that she couldn't visit anymore because of the coronavirus (冠状病毒)outbreak. It made her determined to do something else to try to help. She started the Go Fund Me page, expanded the foundation's website and began organizing volunteers from around the country to write cards or make videos for nursing home residents, who have been the most severely impacted by COVID-19. Hita also expanded her project to include the acquisition (收购) and distribution of smart devices to nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
“I'm very proud that Hita is able to bring smiles to so many seniors,” her mother, Swait, wrote in an email. Hita said her foundation's name was a reflection of her determination to chase away doubt and depression for folks in need. “I thought of the sun,” Gupta said. “I thought of people in the dark, lonely, and how much I wanted to brighten their days and bring joy to them.”

Should we focus on our goal, or on the process
What happened to Brenda Martinez, a US Olympic runner, may provide us with the answer. She lost her balance in the 800-meter run and failed to qualify for the Olympics. Instead of focusing on her failure, she prepared to win in the next race. “I just quickly let go of what happened in the 800m and got back to my routine, to focusing on all the little things I could do that would give me the best chance of running well later in the week,” she told New York Magazine. She said it was this mindset that led to her winning third place in the 1500-meter race about a week later to qualify for the Olympics in Rio. Instead of attaching herself to the goal of making the Olympic team, she concentrated on the process.
There is a problem with setting goals. Researchers from Harvard, the University of. Pennsylvania and Northwestern found that overemphasizing goals based on measurable. outcomes often leads to risk-taking, unethical(不道德的) behavior and reduced motivation. Their results were published in a Harvard Buslness School report titled Goals Gone Wild: The Systematic Side Effects of Over-Prescribing Goal Setting.
When you become overly focused on achieving the goal, you may lose sight of your original purpose for accomplishing the goal in the first place. Another danger is actually completing the goal without setting a plan for what's next. For example, some marathon runners experience what's called the “post-race blues”. Achieving your goal may cause you to drop the good habits that got you there in the first place. Dieters often experience this in what's called “yo-yo dieting” when they drop down to a desired weight, but then gain all the weight back when they resume (重新开始) their bad habits.
“After you set a goal, it's best to shift your focus from the goal itself to the process that gives you the best chance of achieving it and to judge yourself based on how well you complete that process,” columnist Brad Stulberg wrote on the website The Cut.
Ultimately, changing your attention from goals to process will cause you to achieve little victories on your way to accomplishing long-term goals. Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School psychology professor, wrote that focusing on this process“ leaves you with a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, regardless of the measurable outcome”.
56. Why is Brenda Martincz's experience mentioned in Paragraph 2
A. To show opportunity favors the prepared mind.
B. To describe how important it is to set big goals.
C. To suggest learning from failure can bring success.
D. To show how focusing on the process can lead to success.
57. According to Paragraph 3, overemphasizing goals could bring about .
A. the use of unfair means
B. ignoring the whole picture
C. overestimating the setbacks
D. being stressed by the risks involved
58. With the examples in Paragraph 4, the author intends to show that .
A. we can't focus on the goal too much
B. we must keep in mind why we set the goal
C. we should resume our habits when completing the goal
D. we should accept it is normal to feel down after success
59. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
A. Ways of judging a goal.
B. Ways to set long-term goals.
C. The best chance of achieving goals.
D. Benefits of focusing on the process.
60. The author supports his view .
A. by making a comparison
B. by reasoning with examples

D. by doing an experiment

第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
Herman Cruse, a school bus driver from New Jersey, has been with Middle Township Public Schools for the past nine years. He believes bus drivers are the eyes and ears of students when they're away from home and they have a gift to discern what kids are feeling.
During one morning ride, Cruse noticed a kindergartner seemed a little sad. When Cruse asked him what was wrong, the boy explained that he wasn't able to complete his reading assignment because his parents were busy with his four siblings(兄弟姐妹). An idea suddenly crossed Cruse's mind. “Listen, if you don't mind, I'd like to come to the school and read with you.” he said.
After receiving permission from the boy's teacher, Alex Bakley, Cruse showed up at her classroom the following week. When he walked in, the boy shouted proudly, “Hey, that's my bus driver!” They went into a quiet corner and began reading together. Later, a second student wanted to read with him, then a third. All the kids went to the teacher asking, “Can I read with Mr. Herman ”
Cruse now volunteers to help kindergarten students with reading two days a week, and on a third day, he instructs the school's first and second graders. After dropping the kids off at school, of course. Every child looks up to Cruse , both on and off the school bus. “Herman is super positive and he's a bright light at our school who makes every child feel loved and heard.” said Bakley.
For Cruse, what started out as a way to kill time has now developed into a way to make a difference in the heart of a child. He used to go to the gym or library after delivering students to schools. It wasn't until he offered to help the boy on the bus that he realized there was something more rewarding he could be doing. It's a joy for him to see the kids get excited when they learn to sound out words. He loves how reading opens up a new world for them.
