For those who make New Year's resolutions, exercising more and losing weight is often at the top of the list, but whether your goals are to improve your health, save money or travel more, it can be hard to actually keep the resolutions.

No matter what your goal is, it's important to remember that over 80 percent of people drop New Year's resolutions by February—▲.

I was sitting on my mom's sofa and thinking of my hard life.Being out of work and short of money made my wife, our baby boy and me live with my parents.We slept in my old bedroom, and I was feeling upset.
Thankfully, I had one new job: helping my son learn how to walk.Anytime he took a few steps, however, he would fall down and cry.So I had to bend over(俯身)and hold his hand as he walked along.But my back wouldn't let me do that for long.
As I sat there with my eyes closed, I suddenly heard my mother say,"Joe, look!" I opened my eyes and watched my son catch the coffee table, pull(拉)himself up and smile.Next with a giggle, he started walking around it, keeping his hands on it for balance.Finally, when he reached the end of it, he took two big steps and made it to the wall.Then he started walking down the hall with his hands balancing on the wall the whole way. I laughed and cheered(欢呼).
Suddenly, I learned that losing the job wasn't so bad, for at least my boy had learned to walk.Trying to do something new is a lot like first learning to walk.We often fall and cry. However, as long as we try again and again, we will find our own feet and know how to do it. Don't be afraid to step out. Don't be afraid to fall!

Ants have the ability to smell out cancerous cells(癌细胞)in humans, which has been found by a new study, suggesting that they could be used to find cancer in the future.Scientists from the French National Center for Scientific Research(CNRS)found that some ants have a good sense of smell. "But more tests must be carried out before they could be used in hospitals, "the team said.
The scientists did tests with 36 ants, smelling cells in the lab. First, they let the ants smell some cancerous human cells.Every time the ants smelt cancerous cells, they were rewarded with sugar solution(糖液).In the second step, the ants were put into two different smells. One was a new smell of healthy cells and the second was still the smell of the cancerous cells.Once the ants found the cancerous cells successfully, the researchers made them smell different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that ants could tell between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous cells.
This isn't the first time that scientists have used the animals' sense of smell to find cancerous cells."Dogs are good at finding something with their noses.However, training dogs to do so needs several months to a year.On the other hand, ants can be easily raised in a short time, they are inexpensive, and hundreds of them can be trained with fewer times." scientists pointed out.
"This study shows that ants are able to learn very quickly.The way can be used for other tasks including finding danger or other illnesses,"scientists added.
(1)What can we know from CNRS's study?
A.Ants help humans keep off cancer
B.Dogs are used to find people with cancer

(3)Why are the ants better than dogs in the tests?

②They are easier to be raised.
③They are better at finding things.
④They can be trained more quickly.
⑤They have a sharper sense of smell.
A.①②③ B.①②④ C.①③④ D.②③⑤
(4)What's the purpose(目的)of the writer writing the text?
A.To introduce ants will be more useful than imagined.
B.To teach people to protect ants from now on.
C.To show ants and dogs are both humans' friends.
D.To explain why ants are more important than dogs.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers(青少年).But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son: suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter. "She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something, sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which."
Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact, parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them. And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them.
(1)"The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son .
A.is always busy with his studies
B.doesn't want to be disturbed(打扰)
C.keeps himself away from his parents
D.begins to dislike his parents
(2)What troubles Tina and Mark most is that .
A.their daughter isn't as lovely as before
B.they can't read their daughter's mind right
C.they don't know what to say to their daughter
D.their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
(3)Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph?
A.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D.Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
(4)What can be learned from the passage?
A.Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B.Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C.Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers.

Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers (青少年).But last summer,Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their elder son:suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents. "The door to his room is always shut." Joanna noted.
Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14﹣year﹣old daughter. "She used to cuddle up (蜷伏) with me on the sofa and talk," said Mark. "Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something,sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady.The problem is figuring out which time is which."
Before age 11,children like to tell their parents what's on their minds. "In fact,parents are first on the list." said Michael Riera,author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers. "This completely changes during the teen years." Riera explained. "They talk to their friends first,then maybe their teachers,and their parents last."
Parents who know what's going on in their teenagers' lives are in the best position to help them.To break down the wall of silence,parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say,and try to find ways to talk and write to them.And they must give their children a mental break,for children also need freedom,though young.Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend,not a manager,with their children is a better way to know them.
(1)"The door to his room is always shut" suggests that the son C .
A.is always busy with his studies
B.doesn't want to be disturbed (打扰)
C.keeps himself away from his parents
D.begins to dislike his parents
(2)What troubles Tina and Mark most is that B .
A.their daughter isn't as lovely as before
B.they can't read their daughter's mind right
C.they don't know what to say to their daughter
D.their daughter talks with them only when she needs help
(3)Which of the following best explains "the wall of silence" in the last paragraph? C
A.Teenagers talk a lot with their friends.
B.Teenagers do not want to understand their parents.
C.Teenagers do not talk much with their parents.
D.Teenagers talk little about their own lives.
(4)What can be learned from the passage? D
A.Parents are unhappy with their growing children.
B.Parents have suitable ways to talk with their teenagers.
C.Parents should be patient with their silent teenagers.
D.Parents should try to understand their teenagers.
