A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a New Year's resolution. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions. Resolutions can be about anything. Some are about physical health. For example, some people may promise to exercise more or eat more healthily. Some resolutions have to do with learning new things. People might decide they are going to take up a hobby like painting or photography. And some resolutions have to do with self - improvement, like becoming more confident or organized. For example, a student may decide to start a new study plan. Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common: people hardly ever keep them! But there are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. And sometimes people just forget about them. To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. Always make sure your resolution is possible to achieve. Don't set a goal that is too difficult or too much for you. Try to set mini - goals to help you achieve your resolution. And if you don't want to forget your resolutions, write them down. Also, talk about them with your family and friends. Encourage them to remind you of your goals. So what resolutions are you going to make? How are you going to keep them? 下定决心 你知道什么是决心吗？决心是你对自己许下的承诺。人们会做出决心来改善自己的生活。最常见的就是新年决心。毕竟，新年的开始往往是制定决心的最佳时机。 决议可以涉及任何事情。有些是关于身体健康。例如，有些人可能会承诺多锻炼或吃得更健康。有些决议与学习新事物有关。人们可能决定培养一个爱好，比如绘画或摄影。还有一些决议与自我提升有关，比如变得更加自信或有条理。例如，一个学生可能会决定开始新的学习计划。 虽然存在差异，但大多数的决议都有一个共同点：人们几乎从不遵守！但是，这也有好的理由。有时决议可能太难遵守。有时人们只是忘记了它们。 要想让你的决心起作用，你需要明智地计划。一定要确保你的决心是可能实现的。不要设定一个对你来说太困难或太大的目标。试着设定一些小目标来帮助你实现决心。 如果你不想忘记你的决心，那就把它们写下来。同时，和你的家人和朋友谈谈这些决心。鼓励他们提醒你目标。那么，你要制定哪些决心？你打算如何坚持它们？ Reading Plus The Ant and the Grasshopper (Adapted from Aesop's Fables) It was summer time. The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun. "Hey, Ant! Come sit with me," said the grasshopper. "No thanks," said the ant. "I have to take this corn home. I'm preparing for the winter." A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around. "Come on, Ant!" said the grasshopper. "Dance with me!" "No," replied the ant. "I'm going to get more corn. Why don't you join me? You should plan for the winter." "But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let's have a picnic!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. I'm going to continue with my boring work." The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen. The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood. "Ant, it's too windy to work," said the grasshopper. "Come and sing with me!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter." And then the cold winter came. The ant sat home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door. "Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper. "You must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!" "Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!" 蚂蚁和蚱蜢 （改编自伊索寓言） 夏天到了，蚂蚁和蚱蜢在农民的田里。蚂蚁忙着收玉米，蚱蜢在阳光下休息。 “嘿，蚂蚁！过来和我坐吧。”蚱蜢说。 “不用了，谢谢。”蚂蚁说，“我得把玉米带回家。我要准备过冬了。” 几周后，夏天即将结束。蚂蚁每天都在把玉米带回家，而蚱蜢只是拉小提琴，跳着舞。 “来吧，蚂蚁！”蚱蜢说，“和我一起跳舞吧！” “不，”蚂蚁回答说，“我要去摘更多的玉米。你为什么不跟我一起去呢？你应该为冬天做准备。” “可是冬天还远着呢！你的工作看起来好无聊啊！跟我来吧！我们去野餐吧！” “不用了，蚱蜢。我要继续做我那无聊的工作。” 蚱蜢沉默了一会儿，然后高兴地跳了起来。 蚂蚁看起来很累，但是当她看到厨房里的食物时，她感到很开心。 秋天到了，天气变得凉爽而多风。蚱蜢在农场里跑来跑去，唱着歌。可怜的蚂蚁不得不在风中奋力挣扎。她想收集大量的木头。 “蚂蚁，风太大了，没法干活。”蚱蜢说，“来和我一起唱歌吧！” “不用了，蚱蜢。我还有点工作要做。我想在冬天暖和些。” 接着，寒冷的冬天来了。蚂蚁坐在家里的火炉旁，享受着美味的玉米汤。这时，她听到敲门声。 “哦，亲爱的蚂蚁，”蚱蜢说，“你一定要帮助我！我没有食物！也没有火来给我取暖！” “对不起，蚱蜢，你必须学会照顾自己。冬天继续跳舞唱歌，春天来的时候努力工作！” 知识解析 1.Were you able to stick to the plans? be able to：表示“能够，会”，强调通过学习、训练或具备某种能力而可以做某事，后接动词原形。 I am able to swim.（我会游泳。） 它与can有些相似，但can只有现在式和过去式（could），而be able to有更多的时态变化，能更准确地表达不同时间的能力状态。 stick to：意为“坚持”，后面常接名词、代词或动名词。表示坚持某种想法、计划、原则等，不轻易改变。 Stick to your plan.（坚持你的计划。） 2.Some resolutions have to do with learning new things. have to do with：意思是“与……有关”。 用来表明事物之间的关联。 This story has to do with animals.（这个故事与动物有关。） 3.Try to set mini-goals to help you achieve your resolution. try to do：是“努力做，试图做”的意思。强调付出努力去尝试做某事，但结果不一定成功。 We should try to learn English well.（我们应该努力学好英语。） set goals：“设定目标”。 You should set goals for your study.（你应该为你的学习设定目标。） achieve：动词，“实现，达到”。 通常指通过努力、奋斗等达成了目标或取得了成功。 He achieved his dream.（他实现了他的梦想。） 4.After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions. after all：“毕竟，终究”，用于强调某个事实或观点，常放在句首或句末。Don't be angry with him. After all, he is a child.（别生他的气。毕竟，他是个孩子。） time for doing：“是做……的时候了”，for是介词，后面接动词 ing形式。例如：It's time for having lunch.（是吃午饭的时候了。）也可以说It's time to do sth.，如：It's time to have lunch. 两者意思相同，可以互换。 5.A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. promise：既可用作名词，也可用作动词。 作名词时，意为“承诺，诺言”，例如：Keep your promise.（遵守你的诺言。） 作动词时，意为“承诺，答应”，如：He promised to come.（他答应会来。） 6.People might decide they are going to take up a hobby, like painting or photography. take up：有“开始从事”的意思，后接名词，代词或动名词。 She took up dancing last year.（她去年开始学跳舞。） 还可以表示“占用（时间、空间等）” This book takes up much space on my desk.（这本书在我桌子上占了很多空间。） 7.And some resolutions have to do with self-improvement, like becoming more confident or organized. improve：“改进，提高”。 表示使某事物变得更好、更完善。 I want to improve my math.（我想提高我的数学成绩。） confident：“自信的，有信心的”。例如：He is confident of winning the game.（他有信心赢得比赛。）常用于描述人对自己或某事有信心。 organized：“有组织的，有条理的”。例如：She is an organized student.（她是个有条理的学生。）可以形容人做事井井有条，也可以形容事物有秩序。 8.Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common: people hardly ever keep them! although含义：“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句。 用法： 它可以放在句首，也可以放在句中。放在句首时，其后的句子不用倒装。例如：Although it was raining heavily, he still went to school on time.（尽管雨下得很大，他仍然按时去上学。） 注意，although不能与but同时使用在一个句子中，因为它们的意思在逻辑上是重复的。例如不能说“Although he is rich, but he is not happy.”，应该去掉“but”，或者把“Although”换成“but”。 resolution：作名词时，有“决心，决定”的意思，常与make搭配，make a resolution表示“下定决心”。 I made a resolution to get up early.（我下定决心早起。） 也有“解决”的意思，如：the resolution of the problem（问题的解决）。 have in common含义：“有共同之处；有相同的特点”。 用法： 通常用于描述两个或多个事物、人之间存在某些相似的地方。例如：My sister and I have many things in common. We both like reading and listening to music.（我和我妹妹有很多共同之处。我们都喜欢阅读和听音乐。） 可以用“have something in common”表示“有一些共同之处”，“have nothing in common”表示“没有共同之处”。例如：They have nothing in common, so they don't get along well.（他们没有共同之处，所以相处得不好。） 9.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. too...to... 含义：“太……而不能……”，表示否定的意思。 用法： “too”后面接形容词或副词，“to”后面接动词原形。例如：The box is too heavy for me to carry.（这个箱子对我来说太重了，我搬不动。） 可以和“so...that...”结构进行转换，“so...that...”引导结果状语从句。例如：The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.（这个箱子如此重以至于我搬不动它。）这两个句子表达的意思是一样的，可以根据需要进行转换。 10.To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. work：作名词时，意为“工作；作品”，例如：I have much work to do.（我有很多工作要做。）This is a famous work.（这是一部著名的作品。）作动词时，意为“工作；起作用；运转”，如：He works in a factory.（他在一家工厂工作。）The medicine works well.（这药很有效。） wisely：副词，“明智地，聪明地”，用来修饰动词。例如：We should use our money wisely.（我们应该明智地使用我们的钱。） 11.Encourage them to remind you of your goals. remind of：“使想起，提醒”。 通常用于描述某个事物或人让你回忆起其他的事情或人。 This song reminds me of my mother.（这首歌使我想起我的妈妈。） 12.To list some popular resolutions list：作名词是“清单，列表”的意思，例如：a shopping list（购物清单）。作动词是“列出，列举”，如：Please list the things you need.（请列出你需要的东西。） 13.To introduce the meaning of a resolution introduce：“介绍”。 Let me introduce my friend to you.（让我把我的朋友介绍给你。） 也有“引进，传入”的意思，如：They introduced a new kind of plant.（他们引进了一种新植物。） 14.To explain why some people fail to keep resolutions explain：“解释，说明”。 用于向别人阐述某事的原因、原理等，使别人明白。 Can you explain this question to me?（你能给我解释一下这个问题吗？） fail：动词，“失败；不及格”。 He failed in the English test.（他英语考试不及格。） 还可以表示“未能（做到）”，如： I failed to meet my friend at the station.（我没能在车站接到我的朋友。） 15.This person helps to put out fires. put out扑灭；熄灭；伸出；出版等。 用法：例如消防员扑灭火灾可以说“The firemen put out the fire.”；表示伸出手可以说“Put out your hand.”；出版书籍等可以说“The company will put out a new magazine next month.”。 16.This person designs clothes, shoes, or other items for people. design 含义：设计；构思。 用法：作动词时，例如“She designed a beautiful dress.”（她设计了一条漂亮的裙子。）；也可作名词，如“This building has a unique design.”（这座建筑有独特的设计。） item 含义：项目；条款；一件商品（或物品）等。 用法：例如在购物清单中，每个物品就是一个item，“There are many items on the shopping list.”（购物清单上有很多物品。）；也可指计划、报告等中的项目，如“The first item on the agenda is very important.”（议程上的第一个项目非常重要。） 17.I still remember how disappointed I was when I failed my maths exam for the first time. disappointed 含义：失望的；沮丧的。 用法：常用来形容人的感受，be disappointed at / with / in sth. / sb.表示“对某事/某人感到失望”。例如：I am disappointed with my exam results.（我对我的考试成绩感到失望。） for the first time 含义：第一次。 用法：在句中作状语，通常用于描述某个动作或情况是首次发生。例如“I went to Beijing for the first time last year.”（去年我第一次去北京。） 18.Mr Guo found me crying in the classroom after school. find sb. doing 含义：发现某人正在做某事。 用法：例如“I found him playing basketball on the playground.”（我发现他正在操场上打篮球。）表示发现时，某人的动作正在进行。 19.He said to me, “Don’t give up.

A resolution is a promise that you make to yourself. People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a New Year's resolution. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions. Resolutions can be about anything. Some are about physical health. For example, some people may promise to exercise more or eat more healthily. Some resolutions have to do with learning new things. People might decide they are going to take up a hobby like painting or photography. And some resolutions have to do with self - improvement, like becoming more confident or organized. For example, a student may decide to start a new study plan. Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common: people hardly ever keep them! But there are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. And sometimes people just forget about them. To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. Always make sure your resolution is possible to achieve. Don't set a goal that is too difficult or too much for you. Try to set mini - goals to help you achieve your resolution. And if you don't want to forget your resolutions, write them down. Also, talk about them with your family and friends. Encourage them to remind you of your goals. So what resolutions are you going to make? How are you going to keep them? 下定决心 你知道什么是决心吗？决心是你对自己许下的承诺。人们会做出决心来改善自己的生活。最常见的就是新年决心。毕竟，新年的开始往往是制定决心的最佳时机。 决议可以涉及任何事情。有些是关于身体健康。例如，有些人可能会承诺多锻炼或吃得更健康。有些决议与学习新事物有关。人们可能决定培养一个爱好，比如绘画或摄影。还有一些决议与自我提升有关，比如变得更加自信或有条理。例如，一个学生可能会决定开始新的学习计划。 虽然存在差异，但大多数的决议都有一个共同点：人们几乎从不遵守！但是，这也有好的理由。有时决议可能太难遵守。有时人们只是忘记了它们。 要想让你的决心起作用，你需要明智地计划。一定要确保你的决心是可能实现的。不要设定一个对你来说太困难或太大的目标。试着设定一些小目标来帮助你实现决心。 如果你不想忘记你的决心，那就把它们写下来。同时，和你的家人和朋友谈谈这些决心。鼓励他们提醒你目标。那么，你要制定哪些决心？你打算如何坚持它们？ Reading Plus The Ant and the Grasshopper (Adapted from Aesop's Fables) It was summer time. The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun. "Hey, Ant! Come sit with me," said the grasshopper. "No thanks," said the ant. "I have to take this corn home. I'm preparing for the winter." A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around. "Come on, Ant!" said the grasshopper. "Dance with me!" "No," replied the ant. "I'm going to get more corn. Why don't you join me? You should plan for the winter." "But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let's have a picnic!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. I'm going to continue with my boring work." The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen. The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood. "Ant, it's too windy to work," said the grasshopper. "Come and sing with me!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter." And then the cold winter came. The ant sat home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door. "Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper. "You must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!" "Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!" 蚂蚁和蚱蜢 （改编自伊索寓言） 夏天到了，蚂蚁和蚱蜢在农民的田里。蚂蚁忙着收玉米，蚱蜢在阳光下休息。 “嘿，蚂蚁！过来和我坐吧。”蚱蜢说。 “不用了，谢谢。”蚂蚁说，“我得把玉米带回家。我要准备过冬了。” 几周后，夏天即将结束。蚂蚁每天都在把玉米带回家，而蚱蜢只是拉小提琴，跳着舞。 “来吧，蚂蚁！”蚱蜢说，“和我一起跳舞吧！” “不，”蚂蚁回答说，“我要去摘更多的玉米。你为什么不跟我一起去呢？你应该为冬天做准备。” “可是冬天还远着呢！你的工作看起来好无聊啊！跟我来吧！我们去野餐吧！” “不用了，蚱蜢。我要继续做我那无聊的工作。” 蚱蜢沉默了一会儿，然后高兴地跳了起来。 蚂蚁看起来很累，但是当她看到厨房里的食物时，她感到很开心。 秋天到了，天气变得凉爽而多风。蚱蜢在农场里跑来跑去，唱着歌。可怜的蚂蚁不得不在风中奋力挣扎。她想收集大量的木头。 “蚂蚁，风太大了，没法干活。”蚱蜢说，“来和我一起唱歌吧！” “不用了，蚱蜢。我还有点工作要做。我想在冬天暖和些。” 接着，寒冷的冬天来了。蚂蚁坐在家里的火炉旁，享受着美味的玉米汤。这时，她听到敲门声。 “哦，亲爱的蚂蚁，”蚱蜢说，“你一定要帮助我！我没有食物！也没有火来给我取暖！” “对不起，蚱蜢，你必须学会照顾自己。冬天继续跳舞唱歌，春天来的时候努力工作！” 知识解析 1.Were you able to stick to the plans? be able to：表示“能够，会”，强调通过学习、训练或具备某种能力而可以做某事，后接动词原形。 I am able to swim.（我会游泳。） 它与can有些相似，但can只有现在式和过去式（could），而be able to有更多的时态变化，能更准确地表达不同时间的能力状态。 stick to：意为“坚持”，后面常接名词、代词或动名词。表示坚持某种想法、计划、原则等，不轻易改变。 Stick to your plan.（坚持你的计划。） 2.Some resolutions have to do with learning new things. have to do with：意思是“与……有关”。 用来表明事物之间的关联。 This story has to do with animals.（这个故事与动物有关。） 3.Try to set mini-goals to help you achieve your resolution. try to do：是“努力做，试图做”的意思。强调付出努力去尝试做某事，但结果不一定成功。 We should try to learn English well.（我们应该努力学好英语。） set goals：“设定目标”。 You should set goals for your study.（你应该为你的学习设定目标。） achieve：动词，“实现，达到”。 通常指通过努力、奋斗等达成了目标或取得了成功。 He achieved his dream.（他实现了他的梦想。） 4.After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making resolutions. after all：“毕竟，终究”，用于强调某个事实或观点，常放在句首或句末。Don't be angry with him.

We both like reading and listening to music.（我和我妹妹有很多共同之处。我们都喜欢阅读和听音乐。） 可以用“have something in common”表示“有一些共同之处”，“have nothing in common”表示“没有共同之处”。例如：They have nothing in common, so they don't get along well.（他们没有共同之处，所以相处得不好。） 9.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. too...to... 含义：“太……而不能……”，表示否定的意思。 用法： “too”后面接形容词或副词，“to”后面接动词原形。例如：The box is too heavy for me to carry.（这个箱子对我来说太重了，我搬不动。） 可以和“so...that...”结构进行转换，“so...that...”引导结果状语从句。例如：The box is so heavy that I can't carry it.（这个箱子如此重以至于我搬不动它。）这两个句子表达的意思是一样的，可以根据需要进行转换。 10.To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. work：作名词时，意为“工作；作品”，例如：I have much work to do.（我有很多工作要做。）This is a famous work.（这是一部著名的作品。）作动词时，意为“工作；起作用；运转”，如：He works in a factory.（他在一家工厂工作。）The medicine works well.（这药很有效。） wisely：副词，“明智地，聪明地”，用来修饰动词。例如：We should use our money wisely.（我们应该明智地使用我们的钱。） 11.Encourage them to remind you of your goals. remind of：“使想起，提醒”。 通常用于描述某个事物或人让你回忆起其他的事情或人。 This song reminds me of my mother.（这首歌使我想起我的妈妈。） 12.To list some popular resolutions list：作名词是“清单，列表”的意思，例如：a shopping list（购物清单）。作动词是“列出，列举”，如：Please list the things you need.（请列出你需要的东西。） 13.To introduce the meaning of a resolution introduce：“介绍”。 Let me introduce my friend to you.（让我把我的朋友介绍给你。） 也有“引进，传入”的意思，如：They introduced a new kind of plant.（他们引进了一种新植物。） 14.To explain why some people fail to keep resolutions explain：“解释，说明”。 用于向别人阐述某事的原因、原理等，使别人明白。 Can you explain this question to me?（你能给我解释一下这个问题吗？） fail：动词，“失败；不及格”。 He failed in the English test.（他英语考试不及格。） 还可以表示“未能（做到）”，如： I failed to meet my friend at the station.（我没能在车站接到我的朋友。） 15.This person helps to put out fires. put out扑灭；熄灭；伸出；出版等。 用法：例如消防员扑灭火灾可以说“The firemen put out the fire.”；表示伸出手可以说“Put out your hand.”；出版书籍等可以说“The company will put out a new magazine next month.”。 16.This person designs clothes, shoes, or other items for people. design 含义：设计；构思。 用法：作动词时，例如“She designed a beautiful dress.”（她设计了一条漂亮的裙子。）；也可作名词，如“This building has a unique design.”（这座建筑有独特的设计。） item 含义：项目；条款；一件商品（或物品）等。 用法：例如在购物清单中，每个物品就是一个item，“There are many items on the shopping list.”（购物清单上有很多物品。）；也可指计划、报告等中的项目，如“The first item on the agenda is very important.”（议程上的第一个项目非常重要。） 17.I still remember how disappointed I was when I failed my maths exam for the first time. disappointed 含义：失望的；沮丧的。 用法：常用来形容人的感受，be disappointed at / with / in sth. / sb.表示“对某事/某人感到失望”。例如：I am disappointed with my exam results.（我对我的考试成绩感到失望。） for the first time 含义：第一次。 用法：在句中作状语，通常用于描述某个动作或情况是首次发生。例如“I went to Beijing for the first time last year.”（去年我第一次去北京。） 18.Mr Guo found me crying in the classroom after school. find sb. doing 含义：发现某人正在做某事。 用法：例如“I found him playing basketball on the playground.”（我发现他正在操场上打篮球。）表示发现时，某人的动作正在进行。 19.He said to me, “Don’t give up.
