The new year always brings with the cultural tradition of new possibilities. We see it as a chance for renewal. We begin to dream of new possible selves. We design our ideal self or an image that is quite different from what we are now. For some of us, we roll at dreamy film in our heads just because it’s the beginning of a new year.
But we aren’t serious about making changes. We just make some half-hearted resolution and it evaporates after a week or two. The experience makes us feel less successful and leads us to discount our ability to change in the future. It’s not the changes impossible but that it wouldn’t last unless our resolutions are supported with plans for implementation.
We have to make our intentions manageable by detailing the specific steps that will carry us to our goal. Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie. And you know there’s a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two, you check the bag and find out you’ve just shot 132 calories.
You say to yourself, "What the hell!" and polish off the whole bag. Then you begin to draw all kinds of unpleasant conclusions about yourself. To protect your sense of self, you begin to discount the goal. You may think—"Well, dieting wasn’t that important to me and I won’t make it anyhow." So you abandon the goal and return to your bad habits.
选项
A、Improve themselves.
B、Get rid of empty dreams.
C、Follow the cultural tradition.
D、Attempt something impossible.
答案
A
解析
What do people usually wish to do at the beginning of a new year?
四个选项均为动词短语,结合主题分析,本题很可能考查人们做想什么。短文开头说到人们常把新年看作是新的开始,开始设计理想的自我,或是一个与现在不同的形象。由此可以断定人们把新年看作是一个改善自我的机会,故A正确。
