　　　The discovery of the one of the world’s oldest shipwrecks（沉船）shows that European trade was thriving even in the Bronze Age, according to experts.
　　　The ship, carrying copper and tin ingots（铸块）used to make weapons and jewelry, sank off the coast near Salcombe in Devon and is thought to date from 900 BC. But it was only last year that the South West Maritime Archaeological Group, a team of amateur archaeologists, brought its goods to the surface. The discovery was not announced until this month’s International Shipwreck Conference, in Plymouth, Devon.
　　　It is thought that the goods — 259 copper ingots and 27 of tin — were collected from several different sources in Europe. The discovery shows the high level of maritime（海上的） trade in Europe had reached, even in ancient times. A bronze sword and three gold wrist bracelets were also found at the spot, not far from the famous Salcombe Cannon wreck, which was discovered in the 1990s.
　　The team have not found any of the new ship’s actual body which is thought to have been completely damaged. However, it is likely to have been powered with paddles and had a crew of around 15. The nearby 17th century Salcombe Cannon wreck, which is protected, has produced Europe’s largest collection of 17th century Moroccan gold coins. Another ship dating back to the Bronze Age had earlier been discovered in Salcombe but produced up only 53 artifacts.
　　　The British Museum is due to take charge of the goods and has them valued before giving the team a sum. Experts at the University of Oxford are analyzing them to establish its exact origins. Ben Roberts, a British Museum Bronze Age expert, said, “It is an exciting find. What we have here is really, really good evidence of trade. It is very possible there were also animals and people going across the Channel too. We hardly ever get to see evidence of this cross-Channel trade in action.”
48．The people who first carried the copper and tin ingots to the ship_______.
　　A．died in the ship                   B．came from Britain
　　C．were good at making money        D．lived about 3,000 years ago

　　A．people in the Bronze Age knew how to trade with other people
　　B．people in the Bronze Age could not make weapons and jewelry
　　C．the copper and tin ingots were used to make ships in the Bronze Age
　　D．there is no doubt that animals went across the Channel in the Bronze Age

　　A．259 copper ingots and 27 of tin.
　　B．Paddles used to power the great ship.
　　C．A bronze sword and three gold wrist bracelets.

　　It's almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure. If you have a fear of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals. But goals help us decide where we want to go in life. Without goals, we have no sure destination.
　　Many experts recommend visualization(形象化) as a powerful tool for goal setting. Imagining how life will be after you've reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. However, visualization might produce the opposite results in people who have a fear of failure. In his article, researcher Thomas Langens showed that people who have a fear of failure were often left in a strong negative mood after being asked to visualize goals and goal attainment.
　　So, what can you do instead?
　　Start by setting a few small goals. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging. Think of these goals as "early wins" that are designed to help improve your confidence. For example, if you've been too afraid to talk to the new department head (who has the power to give you the promotion you want), then make this your first goal Plan to stop by her office during the next week to introduce yourself. Or, imagine that you've dreamed of returning to school to get your MBA(工商管理硕士), but you're convinced that you're not smart enough to be accepted into business school. Set a goal to talk with a school counselor or admissions officer to see what's required for admission.
　　Try to make your goals tiny steps on the route to much bigger goals. Don't focus on the end picture getting the promotion, or graduating with an MBA. Just focus on the next step introducing yourself to the department head, and talking to an admissions officer. That's it.
　　Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving forward, and prevent you from getting overwhelmed with visions of your final goal.
52．What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
　　A．the fear of failure           B．the difficulty in setting goals
　　C．the reasons for failure       D．the importance of setting goals
53．Why does the author mention the opinion of Thomas Langens?
　　A．To tell the results of setting goals
