Section B & Self Check

Section B 2b

1．Do you know what a resolution is？It's a kind of promise.①Most of the time，we make promises to other people.(“Mom，I promise I'm going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”)However，promises you make to yourself are resolutions，and the most common kind is New Year's resolutions.The_start_of_the_year_is_often_a_time_for_making_resolutions.②When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year，we hope that we are going to improve our lives.③Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year.This helps them to remember their resolutions.How_about_you_—_will_you_make_any_next_year?

2．There are different kinds of resolutions.Some are about physical health.For example，some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food.④Many resolutions have to do with self­improvement.These are about making yourself a better person.⑤ Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos，or learn to play the guitar.Some resolutions have to do with better planning，like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.For example，a student may have to find more time to study.

3．Although there are differences，most resolutions have one thing in common.People hardly ever keep them！There are good reasons for this.Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep.Sometimes people just forget about them.For this reason，some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions！Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.,

1．你知道决定是什么吗？它是一种许诺。大多数时间，我们向他人进行许诺。“妈妈，我保证放学回来整理我的房间”。然而，你向自己的许诺是决定，最普通的是新年决定。一年的开始经常是一个做决定的时间。当我们在一年之初做决定时，我们希望改善我们的生活。一些人写下他们来年的决定和计划。这会帮助他们记住他们的决定。你呢——明年你会做一些决定吗？

2．决定有不同种类的。一些是关于身体健康的。例如，一些人向自己许诺：他们打算开始一项锻炼项目或者少吃快餐。许多决定和自我发展有关。这些与使你成为一个更好的人有关。一些人也许会说他们打算从事一项业余爱好，比如绘画、摄影，或者学习弹吉他。一些决定和更好的计划有关，像为功课制定的周计划。例如，学生可能必须找更多的时间来学习。

3．虽然有差异，但是大多数决定都有一个共同特征。人们几乎不能坚持下来！对于此有很好的原因。有时候决定可能是很难坚持的。有时候人们把它们忘了。因为这个原因，一些人说最好的决定是没有决定！另一些人把他们的希望和计划告诉家人和朋友。

1．Sounds like a good plan.听起来像个好计划。
