You have lots of things you'd like to do...

    You have lots of things you'd like to do. But sometimes it's hard to get to the finish line-just like your goal. How can you break your bad habits and develop good ones? 1. Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might help.

● I can' 't get away from screens.

2. If you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video when you're bored, go somewhere else instead. Take a book to your room or your violin to the backyard. Or ask if you can help cook in the kitchen.

3.

Start with "showing up. " Then take one small step or do one tiny task, followed by another and another. For example, how do I practice the piano? First sit at it. Then play one note at a time.

Starting with a super-simple step often helps. Why? It's easy, quick, and gets you in action. 4.

● I have no time.

Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Can you spare 10 minutes a day to work on a goal? Let's suppose you want to be singer. 5. Talk with a parent about why your goal counts. Discuss whether you can let go of something less important to free up time to achieve it.

A.Then keep taking steps.

B.I can't start such a huge goal.

C.And how can you try to reach your goals?

D.To change a habit, try changing where you spend your time.

E.Is it more important to practice singing than play video games?

 

1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.E 【解析】 生活中我们有很多想做的事情,但有时候却很难到达终点。怎样才能改掉坏习惯,养成好习惯呢?文章中列举了一些学生们不好的习惯,并对如何改掉这些习惯提出了建议。 1. 上句话“How can you break your bad habits and develop good ones?”提出问题,下句话“Here are a few opinions we often get from kids, followed by ideas that might help.”引出文章主旨。C选项也提出了问题,与上面的问题衔接,符合语境。故选C。 2. 根据下句话“If you usually spend time lying on the sofa and watching TV programs or a video when you're bored, go somewhere else instead.”可知,想要改掉总是躺在沙发上看电视的习惯,就去别的地方。D选项“要改变一种习惯,试着改变你花费时间的地方”符合语境,故选D。 3. 根据下文“Start with "showing up. " Then take one small step or do one tiny task, followed by another and another.”可知,这个是建议学生们从“到场”开始,然后完成一个小任务,接着再做另一件、另一件。由此可猜测,这个做法应该是针对那些不能完成一个大目标的学生的。故选B。 4. 根据语境“Starting with a super-simple step often helps. Why? It's easy, quick, and gets you in action.”可知,先从简单的步骤开始,接下来要继续采取步骤,一步一步,最后才能实现目标。A选项符合语境,故选A。 5. 根据上文“Take a look at the choices you make about how you spend time. Do those choices show what's important to you? Can you spare 10 minutes a day to work on a goal?”可知,这个建议是看看你如何支配时间,这些选择是否表明什么对你来说是重要的?这里用想成为歌手举例,那就要问问自己“是练习唱歌重要,还是玩游戏重要”,E选项符合语境,故选E。

    Frank and his brother Jack lived near the ocean. Frank was outgoing while Jack was shy. They liked doing different things. Frank was famous for organizing games of beach volleyball, football, and any other sport imaginable. Jack preferred to draw, paint, or build sandcastles(沙堡).

Frank didn't understand why Jack would rather do artistic things than play ball. He believed sports often allowed many kids to play together. That was when Jack's idea hatched. He would show Frank what doing things together looked like!

After Jack finished creating a special sandcastle with stairs, towers and walls, he took pictures of it. Then he painted colorful posters featuring(突出)his sandcastle and the question, "Can you top this?" He hung his posters everywhere in town, announcing his plan for a day of sandcastle artistry-all ages welcome.

When Frank saw poster, he not so nicely told Jack that no one would come. Still, shortly after sunrise on Saturday, Jack was on the beach digging in the sand. By mid-morning, four kids were sculpting(雕塑)the sand alongside him. By noon the number had increased a lot.

After Frank came back from his ball game, he went to check how his brother's plan turned out. He couldn't believe what he saw. At least 30 people were building a city of sandcastles, and everyone was chatting and laughing and working together! It was the most beautiful thing he had seen on the beach.

"I guess you've proved me wrong," Frank said. "You should make this sandcastle day a yearly tradition!" Handing Frank a shovel(铲子)with smile, Jack got started together with his brother on their super creation in the sand.

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board(董事会)to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.

The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000-one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest. They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations(捐赠), even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!

After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs-saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge(挑战)presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it.”

A.raised $ 25,000 B.asked for more help

C.sold old newspapers D.donated half the cost

A.Solar panels. B.Second-hand books.

A. B.

C. D.

A.hard work was her favorite B.the project went smoothly
