21、How to Set New Year's Resolutions That Stick
Some people love the tradition of setting a goal each January 1. 【1】If you want to improve your chances of sticking to your 2022 New Year's resolution, scientists suggest you choose a goal that's concrete and achievable. Here are more science-based tips for you.
1. Consider a penalty clause (惩罚条款).
This may sound upsetting, but can work wonders. 【2】 Then you'll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven't followed through. You can also make a bet with a friend that you'll stick to your resolution or pay. The truth behind is that penalties are even more motivating than rewards.
2. Make it fun.
If you want to be a straight-A student, you probably assume long, distraction-free study sessions (时段) are key. 【3】 Research has shown that if you get pleasure, you'll persist longer. One way to make pursuing a goal more fun is to combine it with a guilty pleasure. Consider, for example, only letting yourself drink your favorite coffee during a study session. Then there is a hook to get you to the library.
3. Allow for emergencies.
You planned to get to bed early every night but couldn't resist staying up late one Friday. After that, your early-to-bed plans went out the window because “what the hell,” you'd already failed. Researchers call this the “what the hell effect.” 【4】 By setting tough goals but giving yourself one or two get-out-of-jail-free cards each week, you can get better results.
4. 【5】
Spending time around high achievers can improve your own performance. You'll pick up a bit because you tend to follow their patterns of behavior. Strangely enough, there is evidence that coaching (辅导) friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too.
A．Get a little help from your friends.
B．Tell a few friends about your goal.
C．Happily, there is a way out of this trap.
D．The logic for why this works is simple.
E．There are various games that make learning fun.
F．But if it's not fun to study, you're unlikely to keep at it.
G．Others argue it's a waste of time since most resolutions fail.
22、Around the world, many people come together on 3lst December to celebrate the coming of the New Year, which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve, family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten-second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric! It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells!
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening, but in the bigger Scottish cities, other events take place.
The best-known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year, Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven, where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads, which is wonderful to witness! People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 3lst.
On New Year's Day in Scotland, it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings, this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them, otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine, Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.

23、 Mr. Liang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling （赌博） and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. After he came out of lockup （拘留所）, he hated her very much and the woman had to leave him.
It was New Year’s Day. Mr. Liang didn’t go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and thought the police would not come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few policemen.
“I saw there weren’t any policemen outside, Daddy,” said the boy, “so I went to the crossing and asked some to come.”

24、 You probably know that exercise is in the key to reducing depression but you might not know why. 【1】
Change your view of “exercise”.
Forget “exercise”. Instead, think “being active” or “having fun”. 【2】Besides, it gives you a bigger benefit.
【3】
Taking part in physical activities with others supports you in doing those activities. Ask friends what activities they're doing or they would like to start doing, and join them. Other choices include hiring a personal trainer joining an exercise group or going to a class.
Try an experiment.
Sign up and go to exercise classes, or go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Even if you're feeling too tired to do any actual exercise, still go to the gym, park your car, walk in. change into workout clothes, and pick up a 5 -pound weight. If you're really so tired that you don't want to do anything else, that's totally fine.
Take it outside.
Nature has a great effect on our feeling and decreases depressive symptoms. 【4】Take a walk around your neighborhood or a local park, or walk on a treadmill by a window.
Tie it to a goal.
Korb said, “When you connect your exercise to a long-term goal, it helps your brain forget momentary discomfort and makes your exercise more satisfying.” For example, Korb started getting active because it made playing sports more enjoyable. Figure out what's truly important to you. 【5】
