Question

【題目】Every New Year brings renewed(更新的) expectation for a change, for a better life and for a better you. That’s a wonderful thing, because this fresh start gives us a chance to reinvent our lives and ourselves. Here’s how.

Let go

Many times we are held back by our previous failures,emotions and barriers(障礙). This is all old baggage. Let everything unhappy from the past go. Let go of failures. Let go of fears you’ve built up. Let go of your ideas about what your life has to be like. Let go of long-held beliefs and habits which seem to be burdens(負(fù)擔(dān)) to you.

Clear away distractions(分心)

Clear away email, your favourite blogs and news websites. Clearaway the iPhone or Blackberry, and clear away all the chores that pull at your attention. In fact, if you can, shut off the Internet for a while. You can come back to it after you take a break.

Decide what matters most today

Forget about your goals for all of this year. Instead, decide what you want to do today. What matters most to you and your life? What are you most passionate(熱情的) about right now? What excites you? What gives you the most fulfillment(滿足感)? Often the answer would be in creating something, making something new, helping others, becoming a better person, and working on a project that you will be proud of. But whatever your answer, have it clear in your mind at the beginning of the day.

Reinvent yourself every day

Every day, you are reborn.Reinvent yourself and your life. Do what matters most to you. It might be the same thing that mattered most yesterday, or it might not be. That isn’t important. What’s important is today---right now! Be passionate, and be happy!

You’ll have a fresh start every single day---not just on January 1 of a new year.

試題分析:本文是一篇說明文。新年新氣象，新的一年帶來新的改變。為了讓我們更好的生活，文章介紹了好幾個讓我們走進新生活的方式。

【1】D分析推斷題。結(jié)合全文來看，作者對于更新自己的生活從好幾個方面提到了自己的想法，要讓自己向前看、掃除分心的事物、找到一天中最重要的事情、每天更新自己的生活�？梢钥闯鲎髡咦约菏且粋�有自信的人。故選D

【2】B分析推斷題。從該劃線詞所在段落來看，主要是講的掃除讓人分心的事物。Chores是clear away的賓語，因為clear away是清理的意思，所以chores應(yīng)該是指那些不重要的事物，故選B

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一第二句Every day, you are reborn.Reinvent yourself and your life每一天你都重生一次，徹底改造你的生活。故選D

【4】C分析推斷題。從全文來看，作者的文章開頭就強調(diào)了為了更好的自己和生活從而要更新生活，給自己帶來變化。在文章的結(jié)尾也說了不是要每天都過得和1月1號的新年第一天一樣，而是每天都要有一個新的開始。故選C
