1、阅读下面短文。
Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep? 1.Usually, when the New Year begins, we make resolutions like studying harder or learning to play the guitar. Sadly not long after that, we often end up breaking them. But what if we want to develop a new good habit?
A habit is something we do almost without realizing it. It’s just like having breakfast or saying “Thank you”, which most of us do every day.
2. 极据一项研究, 培养一个新习惯通常需要66天。This is possible. However, willpower （意志力） might not be the only thing you need. The reason for developing the habit is important.
The problem is, your feelings may influence your willpower. For example, a bad feeling may mean you don’t want to do anything.
3.这研究也表明你不应该一次改变太多。 Remember that it’s a case of baby steps. Giving up all your favorite foods, doing morning exercise and going to bed early at the same time will probably result in failure.
4. Finally, if you feel uncomfortable when doing something, then stop doing it.
It might not be quick to develop a new habit. But if you follow the advice, you may succeed. 5.So be patient and believe that you can make change for the better.
