Section B 1b
Making Resolutions
Do you know what a resolution is? A resolution is a promise that you make to
yourself. People make resolutions to improve their life. The most common kind is a
New Year's resolution. After all, the start of the year is often a perfect time for making
resolutions.
Resolutions can be about anything. Some are about physical health. For example,
some people may promise to exercise more or eat more healthily. Some resolutions
have to do with learning new things. People might decide they are going to take up a
hobby like painting or photography. And some resolutions have to do with self -
improvement, like becoming more confident or organized. For example, a student
may decide to start a new study plan.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common:
people hardly ever keep them! But there are good reasons for this. Sometimes the
resolutions may be too difficult to keep. And sometimes people just forget about them.
To make your resolutions work, you need to plan them wisely. Always make sure
your resolution is possible to achieve. Don't set a goal that is too difficult or too much
for you. Try to set mini - goals to help you achieve your resolution.
And if you don't want to forget your resolutions, write them down. Also, talk
about them with your family and friends. Encourage them to remind you of your
goals. So what resolutions are you going to make? How are you going to keep them?
下定决心
你知道什么是决心吗？决心是你对自己许下的承诺。人们会做出决心来改
善自己的生活。最常见的就是新年决心。毕竟，新年的开始往往是制定决心的
最佳时机。
决议可以涉及任何事情。有些是关于身体健康。例如，有些人可能会承诺
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司多锻炼或吃得更健康。有些决议与学习新事物有关。人们可能决定培养一个爱
好，比如绘画或摄影。还有一些决议与自我提升有关，比如变得更加自信或有
条理。例如，一个学生可能会决定开始新的学习计划。
虽然存在差异，但大多数的决议都有一个共同点：人们几乎从不遵守！但
是，这也有好的理由。有时决议可能太难遵守。有时人们只是忘记了它们。
要想让你的决心起作用，你需要明智地计划。一定要确保你的决心是可能
实现的。不要设定一个对你来说太困难或太大的目标。试着设定一些小目标来
帮助你实现决心。
如果你不想忘记你的决心，那就把它们写下来。同时，和你的家人和朋友
谈谈这些决心。鼓励他们提醒你目标。那么，你要制定哪些决心？你打算如何
坚持它们？

The Ant and the Grasshopper
(Adapted from Aesop's Fables)
It was summer time. The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field. The
ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun.
"Hey, Ant! Come sit with me," said the grasshopper.
"No thanks," said the ant. "I have to take this corn home. I'm preparing for the
winter."
A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn
home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around.
"Come on, Ant!" said the grasshopper. "Dance with me!"
"No," replied the ant. "I'm going to get more corn. Why don't you join me? You
should plan for the winter."
"But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let's
have a picnic!"
"No, thanks, Grasshopper. I'm going to continue with my boring work."
The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away.
The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen.
The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran
around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind.
She wanted to collect lots of wood.
"Ant, it's too windy to work," said the grasshopper. "Come and sing with me!"
"No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want
to be warm in the winter."
And then the cold winter came. The ant sat home by her fire, enjoying some
lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door.
"Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper. "You must help me! I have no food! And no
fire to keep me warm!"
"Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and
singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!"
蚂蚁和蚱蜢
（改编自伊索寓言）
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司夏天到了，蚂蚁和蚱蜢在农民的田里。蚂蚁忙着收玉米，蚱蜢在阳光下休
息。
“嘿，蚂蚁！过来和我坐吧。”蚱蜢说。
“不用了，谢谢。”蚂蚁说，“我得把玉米带回家。我要准备过冬了。”
几周后，夏天即将结束。蚂蚁每天都在把玉米带回家，而蚱蜢只是拉小提
琴，跳着舞。
“来吧，蚂蚁！”蚱蜢说，“和我一起跳舞吧！”
“不，”蚂蚁回答说，“我要去摘更多的玉米。你为什么不跟我一起去呢？
你应该为冬天做准备。”
“可是冬天还远着呢！你的工作看起来好无聊啊！跟我来吧！我们去野餐
吧！”
“不用了，蚱蜢。我要继续做我那无聊的工作。”
蚱蜢沉默了一会儿，然后高兴地跳了起来。
蚂蚁看起来很累，但是当她看到厨房里的食物时，她感到很开心。
秋天到了，天气变得凉爽而多风。蚱蜢在农场里跑来跑去，唱着歌。可怜
的蚂蚁不得不在风中奋力挣扎。她想收集大量的木头。
“蚂蚁，风太大了，没法干活。”蚱蜢说，“来和我一起唱歌吧！”
“不用了，蚱蜢。我还有点工作要做。我想在冬天暖和些。”
接着，寒冷的冬天来了。蚂蚁坐在家里的火炉旁，享受着美味的玉米汤。
这时，她听到敲门声。
“哦，亲爱的蚂蚁，”蚱蜢说，“你一定要帮助我！我没有食物！也没有
火来给我取暖！”
“对不起，蚱蜢，你必须学会照顾自己。冬天继续跳舞唱歌，春天来的时
候努力工作！”
