hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position .This usually happens about every five or six days. Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired.

Why is setting goals（目标）important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 1 It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive

straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal, or a map. 2 But he drivers aimlessly(无目的地）around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?

3 They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set, and they aren’t difficult to reach. 4 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.

5 They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way，you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.

根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。

A. Written goals can be reviewed usually B. He starts off at the same time from the same place. C. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. D. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. E. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.
