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、To show people how to get their lives back to normal.
B、To show how difficult it is for people to lose weight.
C、To remind people to check the calories on food bags.
D、To illustrate how easily people abandon their goals.
答案
D
解析
Why does the speaker mention the example of sweets and cookies?
选项均为动词不定式,可推断本题考查做某事的目的。本文中,在讲完甜品和饼干这个例子后,本文末尾提到So you abandon the goal and return to your bad habits,阐明了例子的目的,故选择D。
