They buy new shoes, download new apps and write long lists. 1________ The reason is simple. Most people try to change everything at once. They plan to run every morning, read a book a week and give up sugar—all in the same month. 2________ By February, they have given up completely, and they feel worse than before. What works far better is almost boring. Choose one small thing. 3________ Then do it every day, at the same time, for a month. When it becomes easy, add a second thing. This is how habits actually form. 4________ Each one is tiny, and together they change a life. A person who reads ten pages a day finishes twelve books a year—without ever feeling that they are trying. So do not make a long list this year. 5________ 'Do not aim to be a different person,' one writer says. 'Aim to be the same person, one small step further along.' A. Yet by the middle of February, most of them have failed. B. It might be as simple as drinking a glass of water after breakfast. C. The brain cannot hold three new habits at the same time. D. They decided to give up all their habits instead. E. Make a very short one, and start with the smallest thing you can imagine. F. Most people find it easier to change everything at once. G. Habits are built from thousands of small, repeated actions. 五、阅读理解 （一） Two students in the same class failed the same exam. Both were upset. What happened next is the reason one of them is now a doctor and the other is not—though that is not the point of this story. The first student, Wei, read the result, put the paper in a drawer and never looked at it again. He told himself the exam was unfair and the questions were badly written. Some of that was true. He felt better for a week. The second student, Lan, did something much harder. She went through the whole paper, question by question, and wrote down why she had got each one wrong. She found that two thirds of her mistakes came from the same three habits: reading too fast, skipping the last sentence, and not checking her work. That analysis took her four hours. It was boring and unpleasant. But the next exam was a different experience, because she was no longer fighting the same enemy. 'I did not become cleverer,' she says. 'I just stopped repeating the same mistake.' 1.What did Wei do with his exam paper? A. He studied it carefully. B. He showed it to his teacher. C. He threw it in the bin. D. He put it in a drawer and never looked at it again. 2.How did Wei explain his failure? A. He admitted he had not worked hard. B. He said the exam was unfair. C. He said he was not clever enough. D. He blamed his teacher. 3.What did Lan do? A. She asked Wei for help. B. She retook the exam immediately. C. She analysed every question and why she got it wrong. D. She gave up studying for a while. 4.What did Lan discover? A. Her mistakes came from three repeated habits. B. She had never learned to read. C. The exam was indeed unfair. D. She needed a better teacher. 5.What does Lan's last sentence mean? A. She became a much cleverer student. B. The second exam was easier. C. She did not learn anything from the first exam. D. She improved by stopping mistakes she kept making. （二） For years, I believed that I could not concentrate because there was something wrong with me. I could not read for more than ten minutes without picking up my phone. I could not finish a film without checking messages twice. Then I did an experiment that changed my mind. For one month, every time I started to reach for my phone, I wrote down what I had been doing at that moment. I expected to find that I was bored. Instead, I found something else: I reached for the phone whenever I was about to do something difficult. I reached for it before writing a difficult sentence, before making a phone call, before opening a bill. The phone was not a habit. It was an escape. And once I understood that, I could deal with it. I began to say to myself, out loud, 'This is the hard part. Do the hard part.' I am not a disciplined person now. I still reach for my phone, and I still have hard parts. But I have learned that the answer to distraction is not willpower. It is honesty about what you are avoiding. 6.What did the writer believe about himself for years? A. That there was something wrong with him. B. That he was too busy to concentrate. C. That he did not need a phone. D. That films were boring. 7.What did he do during his experiment? A. He wrote down what he was doing when he reached for his phone. B. He gave up his phone for a month. C. He asked a friend to hide his phone. D. He timed how long he could read. 8.What did he discover? A. He was simply bored. B. He did not really like his phone. C. He reached for the phone when about to do something difficult. D. Reading was easier than films. 9.What did he start saying to himself? A. 'I should check my phone.' B. 'This is the hard part. Do the hard part.' C. 'I will never finish this.' D. 'I need a new phone.' 10.What is the writer's main conclusion? A. Willpower is the only solution to distraction. B. Honesty about what you are avoiding helps more than willpower. C. Phones should be banned for students. D. Reading is more useful than watching films. 习题答案解析 一、单词拼写 1. “目标”，goal 作可数名词，clear goals 意为“明确的目标”，故填 goals。 2. “管理”，management 作不可数名词，time management 意为“时间管理”，故填 management。 3. “反省”，reflect 作动词，It is important to do sth. 结构中用动词原形，故填 reflect。 4. “拓展”，broaden 作动词，can 后接动词原形，故填 broaden。 5. “习惯”，habit 作可数名词，Small daily habits 作主语，故填 habits。 6. “反馈”，feedback 作不可数名词，learning from feedback 意为“从反馈中学习”，故填 feedback。 7. “提升”，improve 作动词，stop doing 是停止，try to do sth. 中用动词原形，故填 improve。 8. “克服”，overcome 作动词，decide to do sth. 结构中用动词原形，故填 overcome。 9. “日记”，journal 作可数名词，Keeping a journal 意为“写日记”，故填 journal。 10. “效率”，efficiency 作不可数名词，improve your efficiency 意为“提高效率”，故填 efficiency。 二、词性转化 1. improve 动词“改进”，名词形式是 improvement，意为“改进”，如：a small improvement（一点改进）。 2. manage 动词“管理”，名词形式是 management，意为“管理”，如：time management（时间管理）。 3. reflect 动词“反思”，名词形式是 reflection，意为“反思”，如：quiet reflection（安静的反思）。 4. efficient 形容词“高效的”，名词形式是 efficiency，意为“效率”，如：improve efficiency（提高效率）。 5. motivate 动词“激励”，名词形式是 motivation，意为“动力”，如：lack of motivation（缺乏动力）。 6. focus 动词“专注”，形容词形式是 focused，意为“专注的”，如：a focused student（一个专注的学生）。 7. succeed 动词“成功”，名词形式是 success，意为“成功”，如：the secret of success（成功的秘诀）。 8. habit 名词“习惯”，形容词形式是 habitual，意为“习惯性的”，如：a habitual action（一种习惯性行为）。 9. broad 形容词“宽广的”，动词形式是 broaden，意为“拓宽”，如：broaden your horizons（开阔你的视野）。 10. confident 形容词“自信的”，名词形式是 confidence，意为“信心”，如：gain confidence（获得信心）。 三、选词填空 1. “目标”，your 后接复数名词，goals 意为“目标”，故填 goals。 2. “管理”，Good time 后接名词作主语，management 意为“管理”，故填 management。 3. “反省”，take time to do sth. 结构中用动词原形，reflect 意为“反思”，故填 reflect。 4. “拓展”，can 后接动词原形，broaden 意为“拓展”，故填 broaden。 5. “习惯”，small daily 后接复数名词，habits 意为“习惯”，故填 habits。 6. “反馈”，介词 for 后接名词，feedback 意为“反馈”，故填 feedback。 7. “提升”，choose to do sth. 结构中用动词原形，improve 意为“提升”，故填 improve。 8. “克服”，to do sth. 表目的，overcome 意为“克服”，故填 overcome。 四、七选五 1.
