One thing that's never in short supply at the beginning of each new year? But many of us fail to stick with our New Year's resolutions months (or even weeks) after making them. It turns out there are commonly avoided mistakes. That explains why some people always seem to reach their goals while others keep falling short.
If you fail to pick the right habit, you aren't likely to accomplish the corresponding goal. Say you want to lose some weight this year, forming a habit of running 30 minutes a day may not help you do that if you don't also form habits related to the foods you eat, because diet affects weight more than exercise. Failure to establish habits that support your goals may cause your resolutions to flop before you begin.
Another common mistake people make when setting goals is becoming overly concerned about the amount of time it will take to form a new habit. There's no one right answer when it comes to how long new habits should take to form. Some people simply adopt new habits faster than other people and that complex habits usually take longer to form. Consider how easy it is to brush your teeth at night compared to reading a full chapter of a book each day.
So the yearly ritual of resolution setting doesn't have to be an annual disappointment. Sometimes, the difference between success and failure is simply choosing the right habits and the process you use to go about achieving it. Most importantly, remember to be kind and flexible with yourself and to celebrate any and all progress along the way.
A.Good intentions.
B.Congratulations and best wishes.
C.In other words, you must also readjust your diet.
D.It's essential to choose a habit you think enjoyable.
E.A common error many people make is not choosing right habits.
F.It depends on what habit you're trying to develop and who you are.
G.It's not just the end goal that matters—it's the journey along the way.

A few years ago, I got a phone call from a company representative on my way home. "Thank you so much for taking the time to apply for the position. Your application has not been successful. We wish you every success in securing a suitable position in the future." I felt very upset. But the conversation wasn't over. "Would you like to hear feedback from us?" the voice said.
The representative went on to tell me I hadn't clearly demonstrated my motivation for applying for the position and why I wanted to work for the company. The feedback was tough to hear. But I quickly realized they were right. After completing my Ph. D. in Germany, my top priority had been to find a position in Poland, where I grew up. As a result, I wasn't very selective about what I applied for. I pursued any job opportunity that broadly fit my skills and interests. The job at the consulting company was something I was technically capable of doing, but I didn't feel passionate about it — and that clearly showed in the interview process.
From then on, I decided to carefully evaluate each job opening and only pursue ones that truly resonated (引起共鸣) with what I was passionate about. In my applications, I also began stating more clearly and emphatically why I wanted that particular job. Soon the approach started to pay off, as I got an offer for a postdoc position in Poland that I was truly excited about.
A few years later, I found myself on the other side of the interview table. As a freshly hired group leader, I was interviewing candidates for the first Ph. D. position in my lab. I was particularly looking forward to talking with one candidate. On paper, his application looked great — nice CV, good recommendations, strong cover letter. But the interview went badly. He didn't seem to have done any reading in advance about the research I was doing, which made me wonder whether he was truly interested in working with me.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I called to tell him I couldn't offer him the position.
A month later, I received a letter.

5、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It has become easy for students to find and copy published material. But copying another person's writing without giving them credit can get students and other scholars into big trouble.
American copyright law protects original works of authorship including books, movies, music, images and artworks. The owner can sell a copyright or permit others to use it because it is property and property ownership is protected by law in the U. S.
The idea is that copyright helps society. If people can gain from their own creations, which are called their intellectual property (知识产权), then more people will want to create original works. The law, however, permits the unlicensed use of copyrighted works under what is called fair use. Fair use can include criticism, comment, news reporting, education and research. In education, students can include small parts of copyrighted work in their writing and research. But they must provide credit to the original creators through a citation which gives details about the source.
Just as it is easy to copy, it is also easy for professors to know if a student has plagiarized. First, there are computer programs and artificial intelligence, tools that compare students' papers to large databases of published writing. Second, if English is not a student's first language, a professor might recognize a change in wording and writing style. This could bring more attention to the student's paper.
Professors could simply warn a student not to do it again, lower their grade, or they might fail the student in that class. In more extreme cases, a student may be temporarily banned or expelled from school.
A. This behavior is called plagiarism.
B. However, there are some limitations.
C. Plagiarism is punished in different ways.
D. Students must follow university policies on academic behavior.
E. They can identify whether students have copied published writing.
F. For example, it can automatically create citation s and combine them into a list.
G. The protection extends to computer software and the design of buildings and structures.

As a worrying number of youngsters take up vaping (电子烟), the Government has announced a crackdown on laws to stop kids from becoming addicted to the dangerous habit.
Disposable (一次性的) vapes are now set to be banned in the UK as part of the Prime Minister's new legislation (立法) to "stop youth vaping in its tracks". Recent research shows that one in five teens has now tried vaping, despite it being illegal for under-18s, and half of those who vape between 18 and 24 do so despite having no history of smoking.
Last year, figures showed the number of adults using e-cigarettes in the UK had risen to the highest rate on record at roughly 4.3 million Brits. According to the charity Action on Smoking and Health, almost 1,000 serious adverse reactions to vapes were logged, including five deaths linked to e-cigarettes in the last decade.
And it's not just over-the-count er vapes at the center of the country's vaping crisis — fake e-cigarettes with deadly chemicals have sparked concerns. An investigation by the Mirror in 2023revealed one man's fears for his life after he suffered a collapsed lung as a result of a fake, unlicensed pack of vapes purchased from a corner shop in County Durham.
Alex Gittins,31, thought he bagged himself a bargain but ended up in hospital just hours later. He said: "I noticed an awful chemical taste in the back of my throat, then five to 10minutes later I felt what was like a stitch. I'm lying in A&E thinking I was going to die."
A regular vaper was told he had just a one percent chance of survival after being left in need of a double lung transplant. Jackson Allard, 22, underwent the life-saving operation on January 1, putting an end to a series of serious health issues.
Medical expert Stephanie Hansen has voice d concerns about the unknown long-term effects of e-cigarettes. She said: "Vaping or e-cigarette use is relatively new, so we don't necessarily know a lot of the long-term effects of vaping and that's honestly one of the scariest things about it."
(1)、 What has the recent research found?A、20 percent of UK teenagers have once vaped. B、It's against the law for teens to buy vapes. C、Vaping is commoner than smoking in the UK. D、5 people died because of vaping last year.(2)、 Why are two examples given in Paragraphs 5 and 6?A、To suggest it's easy to be addicted to vaping. B、To state vaping ruins people's health seriously. C、To indicate it's illegal to buy fake e-cigarettes. D、To show the number of people vaping is on the rise.(3)、 Which of the following might Stephanie Hansen agree with?A、It remains to be seen in what way vaping affects people. B、It will be long before people know the bad effects of vaping. C、It matters to inform people of the potential danger of vaping. D、It is difficult to prohibit adults from buying e-cigarettes.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Research into the habits of smokers in Britain. B、Causes of teens' addiction to vaping in Britain. C、British health issues drawing public attention. D、British government prohibiting disposable vapes. -

8、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
To act with integrity was a habit with Susan who always follows the Golden Rule: "Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you." But when she thought over her past conduct, a blush of shame crept to her cheeks, as many little acts of selfishness and unkindness came back to her memory. She resolved that for the future, both in great things and small, she would remember and follow the Golden Rule.
It was not long after this that an opportunity occurred, which tried Susan's principles. One Saturday evening when she went, as usual, to Mr. Thompson's inn, to receive the money of her mother's washing for him, which amounted to five dollars, she found Mr. Thompson apparently in a terrible rage with some horse dealers with whom he had been bargaining. He held in his hand an open pocketbook (钱袋子) , full of bills and scarcely noticing Susan as she made her request, except to swear at her for troubling him when he was busy, he handed her a banknote.
Glad to escape so easily, Susan hurried out of the gate. Pausing to put the money safely in her purse, she discovered that he had given her two bills instead of one. She looked around; nobody was near and her first impulse was joy at the unexpected prize.
"It is all mine," said she to herself. "I will buy my mother a new coat with it, and she can give her old one to my sister Mary, and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter. I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for my brother Tom, too."
At that moment she remembered that he must have given it to her by mistake. But again the voice of the tempter whispered, "He gave it, and how do you know that he did not intend to make you a present of it? Keep it! He will never know it, for he had too many such bills in that great pocketbook."

1. 续写词数应为150左右;

This conflict was going on in her mind between good and evil.
"Sir, you paid me two bills instead of one," she handed him the extra note.

10、语法填空(短文)
Delicate strokes, carved onto wood, with ultimate precision-this is woodblock printing, ancient printing technique that advanced human civilization.
As Buddhism prospered in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) , there was a strong need (produce) a large amount of Buddhist scriptures. Meanwhile, (copy) by hand could not meet the rising demand. Ancient Chinese craftsmen thus came up with a novel way to mass produce printed works. Hence came the earliest form of woodblock printing.
(tradition) woodblock printing comprises four major steps: writing, engraving, printing, and binding. With each step then further (divide) into several procedures, it takes roughly 30 steps to produce a woodblock print. Carving is at the center of woodblock printing as this painstaking step can make break the final print. Characters and images (carve) to produce raised areas or lines that will eventually apply ink to paper. It calls for a pair of skilled hands.
A five-meter-scroll of the Buddhist scripture Diamond Sutra, printed in 868, is the "earliest dated printed book" in the words of the British Library it is stored. It is just one example of ancient works of art that not only tell the wisdom of our ancestors, but also are an evidence of the (pursue) of beauty by Chinese craftsmen throughout centuries.
The invention of writing gave life great thoughts, but it is the invention of printing that made knowledge a shareable fruit for all humankind.

Living in the moment
How often do you find yourself worrying about the future and reflecting on the past? Whether it's during a busy work day, before bed or at that weird time when we wake up in the middle of the night. there's always something to plan for, overthink or worry about. It can occupy our minds. cloud our judgement, and take up valuable time and energy in our lives.
Wild swimming or watersports are a great way of living in the moment. You have to pay attention to the weather, wind and waves as they could change at any moment. According to the Wild Swimming Community, immersion in cold water can help with depression and muscle aches, and even boost the immune system.
Whether it's a plot or a window box, tending to them enables us to get into the "flow". It also reminds us that, despite our best efforts, some things just don't go to plan— and that's okay. Seeds might not germinate (发芽) , creatures could eat our crops, or we might experience unfavourable weather. But what matters is that we are engaged with nature's seasons and cycles, not caught in a cloud of future or past thoughts.
The benefits of making things from scratch are well-documented. From pottery to crochet (钩针编织) , sewing and knitting, there's something for everyone. Attending a class or group opens up the possibility of face-to-face conversation, skill-sharing and connection with like-minded people. If you're short of time, why not try taking something with you on your commute, such as a small cross-stitch project, or freestyle with a crochet hook and ball of yarn? Readymade kits can also be great if you're a bit overwhelmed with ideas.
A. They have health benefits, too.
B. Then what can we do to forget all of them?
C. These things happen and they're out of our control.
D. But, luckily for us, there is a solution: by being present.
E. These unexpected things can be avoided ahead of schedule.
F. Growing your own plants can also help you to focus on the here and now.
G. You're giving yourself time to relax, experiment and get your hands dirty.

Tortoise and turtle shells can be used to study nuclear pollution. scientists have found. Just as tree rings can provide snapshots (简要说明) of the Earth's climate, and ice cores can give us information on past temperature, researchers found that the layers of shells can be used as a time stamp of periods with nuclear fallout.
The researchers focused on turtles and tortoises from areas that have seen nuclear pollution. and measured the uranium (铀) that was present in the bony outer shell that is usually made of keratin (角蛋白) . Each layer of shell equals to one year of the tortoise's life, and so can reveal what happened in its surrounding environment.
Five different turtles and tortoises from natural history collections were studied. One of these came from Enewetak Atoll, and was collected in 1978. Enewetak Atoll and its neighbour, Bikini Atoll, in the Pacific, were the sites of 67 nuclear tests, with Enewetak the site of 43 of these. Though the sea turtle was probably not alive during the time of the testing, researchers still found uranium pollution in the turtle 20 years after testing ended.
Researchers also looked at an eastern box turtle from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in the US. Oak Ridge is the site of a nuclear facility that has produced and processed uranium since 1943. The turtle that was studied from there was collected in 1962 and may have bioaccumulated radionuclides, or radioactive materials, from uranium waste products in the area.
The research supports the idea that these animals can bioaccumulate human-made radionuclides, or from the environment. It also supports the idea that these animals. Which often live a long time, can record information about human activity with nuclear landscapes over a long period. We anticipate that combining analyses of historically collected and modern samples will significantly expand our environmental monitoring abilities as they relate to ongoing nuclear pollution questions.
(1)、What made the test of uranium by the researchers possible?A、Uranium made its mark on the turtle shells. B、Uranium existed in large amounts in nature. C、The turtle shells were independent from the surrounding environment. D、The turtle shells' outer layers were composed of mysterious material.(2)、Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraphs 3-4?A、The turtle studied had to be alive during testing. B、Bikini Atoll and Oak Ridge stood next to each other. C、Enewetak Atoll had more nuclear tests than Bikini Atoll. D、The eastern box turtle from Oak Ridge was collected in 1943.(3)、What is the author's attitude toward the research?A、Unclear. B、Dismissive. C、Doubtful. D、Approving.(4)、What's the best title for the text?A、A study on turtle collections B、The importance of turtle shells C、The severity of nuclear pollution D、A hint of radiation from turtle shells -

Digital reading appears to be destroying habits of "deep reading". Astonishing numbers of people with years of schooling are in effect illiterate. This month's Ljubljana Manifesto (宣言) explains: "The digital field may promote more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered (零散的) manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading."
That's frightening, because "higher-level reading" has been essential to civilization. It enabled the enlightenment and an international increase in empathy. Without it, we would suffer a lot. As the Ljubljana Manifesto notes, "as much as one-third of Europeans struggle even with lower-level reading skills." More than one-fifth of adults in the US "fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category". Separately, post-pandemic reading scores for American 13-year-olds are the lowest in decades. And the Washington-based Center for Global Development recently estimated that literacy in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa among those with five years of schooling has decreased by 10% this past half century.
Experts in the Ljubljana Manifesto record the demerits of digital reading: "Recent studies of various kinds indicate a decline of critical and conscious reading, slow reading, non-strategic reading and long-form reading." When you read a book on paper, you can be entirely inside the experience, absorb hundreds of pages of details thoroughly and begin to capture the world's complexity. Online, says Maryanne Wolf of UCLA, we are "skimming, scanning, scrolling". The medium is the message: doing deep reading on your phone is as hard as playing tennis with your phone. Recently, a bright 11-year-old told me I was wasting time on books: he absorbed more information faster from Wikipedia. He had a point. But digital readers also absorb more misinformation and seldom absorb fine perspectives.
In short, as professors from Northwestern University foresaw in 2005, we are returning to the days when only an elite (精英) "reading class" consumes long texts, which is worrying.
(1)、What can we learn about digital reading from paragraph 1?A、Digital reading has solved the problem of illiteracy. B、Digital reading has lessened the practice of deep reading. C、Digital reading has made deep reading accessible to wider readers. D、Digital reading has aroused a greater appreciation for deep reading.(2)、What is the purpose of the figures used in paragraph 2?A、To display the popularity of digital reading. B、To highlight the advantages of deep reading. C、To present the unfavorable situation of literacy. D、To stress the illiterate's lower-level reading skills.(3)、What does the underlined word "demerits" in paragraph 3 mean?A、Effects. B、Depths. C、Features. D、Drawbacks.(4)、What might be talked about in the following paragraph?A、Advantages of digital reading. B、Benefits of higher-level reading. C、Ways to encourage digital reading. D、Measures to practice deep reading. -
