Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2017·长春监测二
)
A
few
years
ago,
I__felt__like__I__was__stuck__in__a__rut(
车辙
)
，
so
I
decided
to
follow in the footsteps of a great American
philosopher, Morgan
Spurlock
，
and
try
something
new
for
30
idea
is
actually
pretty
about
something
you
’
ve
always
wanted
to
add
to
your
life
and
try
it
for
the
next
30
turns out 30 days is just the right
amount of time.
There
’
re
a
few
things
I
learned
while
doing
these
30
?
day
first
was the
time was much more was part of a challenge I did
to take a
picture every day.I also
noticed that as I started to do more and harder
30?day
challenges
，
my
self
?
recognition grew.I went
from a
desk
?
dwelling computer
nerd(
电
脑迷
)to the
kind of guy who biked to work.
Even
last
year
，
I
ended
up
hiking
up
njaro.I
would
never
have
been
that
adventurous before I
started my 30?day challenges.
I also figured out that if you really
want something badly enough, you can do
anything for 30 you ever wanted to
write a novel
？
Tens of
thousands of
people try to write their
own 50
，
000
?
word novel in 30 turns out that all
you have to do is write
1
，
667 words a day for a I
did.
So here
’
s my
question to you
：
What are you
waiting for
？
The next 30 days
are
going
to
pass
whether
you
like
it
or
not
，
so
why
not
think
about
something
you
have
always
wanted to try and give it a shot!

People who possess high
self
?
esteem are able to
commit better and produce a
greater
bond in relationships with others. Dr. Douglas
feels that most people do
not
value
themselves,
but
with
love
and
self
?
respect
anyone
can
be
above
normality
and grasp success with the family, the
office, or others.
We have
become too reliant on intelligence,
beauty, and
money for
our
own self
?
esteem. The loss of
esteem reduces the will and ability to set and
reach goals.
In
a
series
of
reading
Douglas
teaches
how
to
avoid
negative
statements,
how
to
change
them
into
self
?
facing
behavior,
and
how
to
take
charge
of
your
mental
attitude.
Where
other
motivational
and
self
?
help
work
stops
with
the
theoretical
plan
for
success,
Douglas
takes
everyday
examples
and
puts
them
into
his
books.
From
raising
children
who
believe
in
themselves
t
o
using
self?esteem
to
help
bridge
the
gap
in
the
workplace,
he
gives
readers
concrete
solutions
to
the
problems
that
might
ruin
their
interpersonal
relations.
Self
?
esteem
building
comes
from
filling
your
thoughts
with
positive
affirmations(
肯定
)
and learning to react to failures with motivation
instead of
self?destruction.
These
lessons
are
valuable
for
anyone
who
feels
that
life
is
even
slightly
out
of
control.
People
who
feel
they
have
adequate
esteem
can
learn
to
use
it to make their success
grander, faster, and more beneficial for others.
Douglas
approaches this process of
self
?
development as a means
of more than creating good
things
for the individual but also for setting
up keys for influencing good things
for others.
For more than
thirty years, Dr. Douglas has addressed more than
two million
people
on
topics
from
time
management
to
spe
aking
effectively
to
raising
drug?free
children. He is the author of fifteen
books, including How to Make a Habit of
Succeeding.
