Choosing the Right Resolution（決定）

Millions of Americans began 2014,with the same resolution they started 2013 with,a goal of losing weight. However,setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.

To reach our goal of losing weight—the output,we need to control what we eat—the input（輸入）.That is,we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.This is a bad way to construct goals.The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input.Instead of resolving to lose weight,try an actionable resolution:"I'll stop having dessert for lunch,"or "I'll walk every day for 20 minutes."Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.

Recently a new science behind incentives（激勵）,including in education,has been discussed.For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school.In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input,like reading certain books,while in others,the incentives were based on output,like results on exams.His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output.Fryer's conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not know how to do better on exam,aside from general rules like "study harder."Reading certain books,on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.

As long as you have direct control over your goal,you have a much higher chance of success.And it's easier to start again if you fail,because you know exactly what you need to do.

If you want to cut down on your spending,a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe,for example.This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn't a goal because it's too general.Similarly,if you want to spend more time with your family, don't stop with this general wish.Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to,like a family movie night every Wednesday.

In the long run,these new goals could become a habit.

1.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because .

A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans

B. it is focused too much on the result

C. it is dependent on too many things

D. it is based on actionable decisions

2.In Roland Fryer's research,some students did better than the others because .

A. they obeyed all the general rules

B. they paid more attention to exams

C. they were motivated by their classmates

D. they were rewarded for reading some books

3.According to the writer,which of the following statements is a good goal?

A. "I'll give up dessert."

B. "I'll study harder."

C. "I'll cut down my expense."

D. "I'll spend more time with my family."

4.The writer strongly believes that we should .

A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome

B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them

C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits

D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output

Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hungry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happen?

You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t know what time it is, your body does.

These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理節(jié)奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.

Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to fell tired at night and energetic during the day.

Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.

“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.

One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s what neurologist（神經(jīng)病學家）Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study.

Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity.

1.What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?

A. You will feel upset.

B. You will behave normally.

C. Your body will not know what time it is.

D. You will probably get hungry more easily.

2.Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer?

A. Both should see a doctor..

B. Tom should see a doctor.

C. Both should take it easy.

D. Mike should have a watch.

3.How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?

A. By seeing what happens when they are messed up.

B. By asking questions and collecting answers.

C. By studying people traveling across time zones.

D. By programming people with man-made clocks.

4.What will the writer most probably talk about next?

A. Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.

B. Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.

C. Why it is important to have a normal body clock.

D. What circadian rhythms are.
