21、New Year’s resolutions are usually like some of those promises that are meant to be broken. The word “New” in the new year, puts a lot of pressure on starting over and turning a new leaf. But you must remember you cannot just become a different person overnight when the clock strikes twelve. 【1】. Instead of making resolutions that cause you stress, anxiety or more pain, set out this year by making resolutions that will encourage self-care.
To start fresh this New Year’s Day, here are a few tips setting realistic new year’s resolutions in order to avoid the burden of disappointment next year.
Choose a very specific goal
Vague plans like “lose weight”, “exercise more” or “write more” are goals with no teeth. They are vague plans and desires, and are very easy to explain away due to how vague they are. 【2】. Such goals with a certain task weight-age, are much more doable than vague goals.
【3】.
Once you have chosen your goals, make a very detailed plan of how you will reach that goal. Having a plan and a pathway can help you visualize your progress and won’t make you impatient for immediate results. That way you will have already visualized what progress would look like for you in say, 3 months, 5 months, 7 months or every day depending on your goals.
Get yourself a social tribe
In today’s social media world, it is easy to find a group of like-minded individuals interested in sharing your goal. Get yourself a social group like this. However, just as there is a bright side to having a social tribe, the pitfall (隐患) is the pressure. Don’t get consumed by social media and what others are doing. 【4】.
Accept failure and forgive yourself
【5】. Accept this failure; own it and forgive yourself. Being harsh on yourself will only do you more harm so instead learn from what went wrong and instead of quitting the resolution at the end of next year, see it through until you reach your goal.
A．Make a pathway to reach that goal
B．Be patient with your progress
C．Instead, set goals like “exercise 20 minutes every day” or “lose 15 pounds”
D．Despite all your efforts, it is possible that you might fail or slip up
E．Therefore, new year’s resolutions usually end up in failure
F．Change is a difficult process — the key words being “difficult” and “process”
G．Remember you have this group only for support, not for comparison

23、There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over in general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
【1】Teachers differ in their opinions about ________.
A. the difficulties in teaching spelling
B. the necessity of teaching spelling
C. the complexities of the basic writing skills
D. the role of spelling in general language development
【2】The expression "play safe" probably means “_______”.
A. to write carefully
B. to avoid using words one is not sure of
C. to do as teachers say
D. to use dictionaries frequently
【3】Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ______.
A. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
B. students will have more confidence in writing
C. students will be able to express their ideas more freely
D. students will learn to be independent of teachers
【4】The major point discussed in the passage is ________.
A. the relationship between spelling and content of a composition
B. the importance of developing writhing skills
C. the correct way of marking compositions
D. the complexities of spelling
24、 When Thomas Panek lost his eyesight more than 25 years ago, the anxious runner doubted he would ever pursue his lifelong passion again. “It was too scared to run,” he said.
Indeed, although Panek had been running since high school, the idea of running blind seemed altogether too difficult. But he did manage to keep his dream alive—with help from human guides who assisted him on each run.
Even so, he lost the real joy of the run—the thrill of independence that comes from completing a course on his own. “When you’re tied to another person, it’s no longer your own race.” the 48-year-old said. “The independence isn’t quite there.”
But Panek found a friend—indeed, man’s best friend—who would help him regain that sense of purpose. Not only did Panek rediscover his love for running, but, along the way, he founded Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization dedicated to providing service dogs for the visually damaged.
On March 16, Gus glided across the finish line with his human at the New York City Half Marathon. In that moment, they were both recorded into the history books. Panek, who finished the course in a little more than two hours and 20 minutes, became the first blind runner to complete the race led by dogs.
Panek pointed out that it wasn’t just Gus who provided the wind beneath his running shoes. In all, three guide dogs helped him see his way to the finish line. Siblings Westley and Waffle picked up the early parts of the course, each running between five and eight kilometers of the 21-kilometer race. Along the way, the whole team got plenty of support from event host New York Road Runners.
With retirement approaching, it would be the faithful yellow labrador’s last race. But for Panek, the road ahead remains long and bright—not only for him, but for anyone with a disability who still hopes to run down a dream.
【1】What happened to Panek 25 years ago?

【2】From the passage, we know that Gus _________.
A.is an instructor of Panek
B.is a good marathon competitor
C.is a dog for the visually damaged
D.is an organizer of the running event
【3】Which of the following can best describe Panek?
A.Firm and positive. B.Kind and confident.
C.Calm and faithful. D.Honest and ambitious.
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Failure is the mother of success.
B.Where there is a will, there is a way.
C.All things are difficult before they are easy.
D.We can make a difference by helping others.
