Creating the Logistics Vision Nowadays,most companies are familiar with the idea of "mission statement"as an expression of setting a vision for the business.The mission statement seeks to define the pur-pose of the business,its boundaries and its aspirations.It is now common for organizations to have such statement for the business as a whole and for key constituent components.What some companies have found is that there can be significant benefits to defining the lo-gistics vision of the firm. The purpose of the logistics vision statement is to give a clear indication which business intends to build a position of advantage through closer customer relationship.Such state-ment is never easy to construct.There is always the danger that they will publish the ener-getic and encouraging declaration that give everyone a warm feeling but provide no guideline for action. Ideally the logistics vision should be built around the simple issue of"How do we intend to use logistics and supply chain management to create value for our customers?"To realize this idea will necessitate a detailed understanding of how customer value is created and deliv-ered in the market in which the business competes.Value chain analysis will be a fundamen-tal element in this investigation as will the definition of the core competencies and capabilities of the organization.Asking the question"What activities dowe excel in?"and"What is it that differentiates us from our competitors?"is the starting point for creating the logistics vision statement. Earlier,it was suggested that the three words"Better,Faster,Cheaper"summarizes the ways in which logistics vision statement can provide value for customers.The criterion for good logistics vision statement is that it should provide the road map for how these three goals are to be achieved． Questions:

It has often been said by people involved in language teaching that a student who really wants to learn will succeed whatever the circumstances are under which he studies. It is certainly true that students do learn in unfavourable conditions, and it is also true that students of ten succeed using methods that experts have considered unsatisfactory. All teachers can think of some students who are significantly better than their peers, and it seems reasonable to suggest that the motivation of the student is perhaps the single most important thing that he brings to the classroom.
Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. It seems to the case that if we perceive a goal and if that goal is sufficiently attractive, we will be strongly motivated to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal. Of course, goals may be of many different types. Language learners who are motivated also perceive goals of various types, and here we might immediately make a distinction between short-term goals might include such things as the urge to pass an end-of-term or end-of-semester exam or complete a unit successfully. It seems possible to suggest that a teacher will find a strongly motivated student with a long-term goal easier to teach than a student who has to study the language because it is on the curriculum and who does not have such a goal. For the latter type of student short-term goals will often be the source of any motivation he has.

Passage 1

What’s the passage about ______.

A:The way of teaching B:Types of goals C:Motivations D:Language learning

There are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own concept of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily true that we must define success broadly.
For some people, simply being able to live their life with a minimum of misery and suffering is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his frugal life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of and accepted by his and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at too low a level of achievement.
A wise counselor once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration with his own professional success: "You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown," The counselor added, "You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like, and to which you have given you best effort./

A:ability and goals B:goals and determination C:ability and environment D:goals and environment
