26、New Year's Resolutions(决心) for the Whole Family

Weight loss，drinking less， exercise more and spend less are all common New Year ‘s resolutions. But when it comes to family, some of the most meaningful ways to reconnect with the ones you love most come in the form of the simplest resolutions. 【1】

Create a family ritual(仪式).

Whether it’s a weekly pizza night or a Saturday morning movie in bed, rituals are vital for  creating a feeling of belonging and security in a family. They re the basis of many happy memories as children grow and leave home.【2】

Device-free days.

Ever notice how you or your kids pick up a device and an hour has passed and no one has looked up? 【3】 Perhaps it’s every Sunday or it’s weeknights after dinner. Any time spent disconnected from the outside world leaves you more connected with your family at home.

Volunteer together.

【4】Volunteering with your kids has a twofold(双重的) benefit. Not only helping those in need but also bonding with family over a shared passion. Pick your cause together and figure out a way to support it as a family.

【5】

Whether it's before breakfast or after dinner，taking family walks or hikes helps you maintain the “exercise more”resolution nearly everyone makes. It also helps you carve out time to connect with your kids.

A．Do housework together.

B．Take family walks or hikes.

C．Doing good for others is always a good idea.

D．Some people find it difficult to stick to their resolutions.

E．Here are four ideas for New Year’s resolutions for the whole family.

F．Make a plan to have a device-free day or part of the day every week.

G．Family rituals are also something for kids and parents to count on at difficult times.

27、   Negative (消极的) self-talk is the little voice in your head. It says that you are not good enough. It reminds you of all your faults and mistakes. So it may affect your brain and your life badly.

Professor Paul Hughes researches on how thought controls behavior. He says the way we talk to ourselves and about ourselves to other people can affect our lives, from our career to our family life.

Hughes first discovered this while teaching at a community college. He noticed that some students who studied hard and came to class every day still did poorly in exams.

Students may suffer from something commonly called “test anxiety (焦虑)”. Hughes explains that failing several tests can affect a student’s confidence and future test performances.

Lindsay was a good student. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all of her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hughes asked her how she felt before a test, she told him that she was very nervous. She wondered why she had trouble remembering what she had studied, She said she did not trust that she knew the right answers.

Hughes took Lindsay negative statements and turned them into positive questions. Before a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why am I so relaxed when I take an exam? Why am I so focused during my exam? Why do I remember everything I study for an exam?

Lindsay took his advice. Four weeks later, she earned a “B” in the final exam in Hughes’ class.

Lindsay left community college and went to a four-year university. She continued to use the method of positive (积极的) self-talk. She had gotten straight “A” in all of her exams.

【1】Which of the following is Hughes’ view?

A. Attitude is everything.

B. Thought can affect behavior.

C. Hard work always works for poor students.

D. Hard-working students usually have bad grades.

【2】What made some hard- working students fail the exams according to the text?

A few minutes later，the nurse called her．As she balanced on her walking sticks, the boy noticed her amputation(截肢)．"Hey lady，"he called，"What‟s wrong with your leg？
