It is tempting. when your shiny New Year's resolutions start to crumble

that's my problem.”

But, according to a body of scientific research, willpower is not a(n)

To maximize our chances of sticking to resolutions, Ryan says, we should

Introverts tend to get energized by thoughts and ideas. so if that's you, you should find it easier to get motivated by

an inner

39

reflect on your progress. such as keeping a diary. can be helpful. For extroverts, signing up for a group such as Parkrun or

Weight Watchers where everyone has common goal can help you to strengthen your resolve, as can sharing even small

progress with others.

“You need to learn the core skills to cope with triggers. and cues that activate your reward-seeking response,”Ryan

adds. “It's about coping with

motivational magnets to challenge your willpower.” In other words: if you are trying to avoid cake. it is probably best to

find a route home that swerves the artisanal doughnuts.

Directions:

Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.

For each of them there are four choices marked A. B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information

given in the passage you have just read.

A

“It is surprising that people do not believe that there is imagination in science.”Nobel-winning physicist Richard

Feynman once told an audience. Not only is that view apparently false but “it is a very interesting kind of imagination.

unlike that of the artist. The great difficulty is it trying to imagine something that you have never seen. that is consistent in

every detail with what has already been seen, and that is different from what has been thought of: furthermore. it must be

definite and not a vague proposal.”

Imagination takes the stuff of observation and experience and recombines them into something new.

In 1968, the high jump was a well-established sport. You would run, you would jump. and you would make your way

over a pole in one of several ways. In older days you'd likely use the scissors. scissoring out your legs as you glided over,

but by the sixties you'd probably be using the straddle or the belly roll. facing down and basically rolling over the bar.

Whichever style you used. you'd be facing forward when you made your jump. Imagine trying to jump backward. That

would be ridiculous.

Dick Fosbury. however, didn't think so. All through high school. he'd been developing a backward-facing style. and

now. in college, it was taking him higher than it ever had. He wasn't sure why he did it. He didn't care what anyone else

was doing. He just jumped with the feeling of the thing. People joked and laughed. Certainly. no one expected him to make

the U. S. Olympic team -let alone win the Olympics. But win he did. setting American an Olympic records with his 7-foot-

4.25-inch (2.24-meter) jump. only 1.5 inches short of the world record.

With his unprecedented technique, called the Fosbury Flop, Fosbury did what many other more traditional athletes

had never managed to accomplish: he revolutionized, in a very real way. an entire sport. Even after his win. expectations

were that he would remain a lone bird, jumping in his esoteric style while the rest of the world looked on. But since 1978

no world record has been set by anyone other than a flopper; and by 1980, thirteen of sixteen Olympic finalists were

第

页

flopping across the bar. To this day. the lop remains the dominant high jump style. The straddle looks old and awkward in

comparison. Why hadn't anyone thought of replacing it earlier?

Fosbury wasn't even a particularly talented jumper. It was all in the approach.

56. According to Richard Feynman, imagination in science_________.

A. is similar to that of the artist

B. is definite and detailed

D. is an unclear thought

C. is considered obvious to most people

57. Which of the following is TRUE about Fosbury according to the passage?

A. He improved the feeling of jumping in high school

B. He was not sure why others laughed at him.

C. He set a world record by jumping in a backward-facing way.

D. He won a gold medal at the Olympics

58. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A. Backward, awkward.

B. Lite of the first flopper.

D. Laugh last, laugh best

B

Forget Cyclist, pedestrians are Real Danger

We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers.

Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably

the worse offenders.

People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone

，

quite

unaware of what is going on around may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian

crossing or rest of us have to evade

（避让）

them or just stand still to wait for the umavoidable collision.

The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that

them. much more important than the welfare of others.

------M Michael Horan

I loved the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists

（

Viewpoints. May 29

）

. I am afraid they seem to think they

own the roads.

I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he

was doing he shouted at me.

The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.

The police do nothing. What a laugh they are

！

The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent

（发荧光的）

jackets and lights at night and in the morning. They should pay some sort of tax and be fined tor not wearing them

and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.

I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next

to him.

Other road users. including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists

？

It's about time they had to be registered and when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an

least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.

C. Higher with imagination.
