Question

Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control — hard to find just when you want it most. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, stop smoking, get to the gym regularly，developing your sense of willpower is an important part of changing any behavior. ___1.__. But there are ways to increase your willpower.

Don’t try to change your economic situation, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Establish one clear, specific goal and make a realistic plan for achieving it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t stretch yourself too thin. __2.__.

Whatever your goal is, don’t expect to achieve it overnight. __3.__ . If you are trying to kick a caffeine habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of vowing never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements that will pave the way toward a larger one. These successes help your willpower grow.

__4.__. Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have increased sharply, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.

If possible, change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? __5.__.

B．Real success takes time.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述的是提高我們的意志力的重要性和多種不同的方法。

1.F 根據(jù)下句But there are ways to increase your willpower.有很多提高意志力的方法，句首的but說明前句與這句有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故F項(xiàng)：去除壞習(xí)慣和養(yǎng)成新習(xí)慣都很困難符合上下文。

2.G 根據(jù)前句Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t stretch yourself too thin.可知鍛煉前面的意志力需要額外的精力。所以不要一下子設(shè)很多的目標(biāo)，那樣不現(xiàn)實(shí)，一次一個(gè)即可。故G正確。

3.B 根據(jù)前句  Whatever your goal is, don’t expect to achieve it overnight.不要指望一下子就成功。也就是指：真正的成功是需要時(shí)間的。故B正確。

4.E 根據(jù)下句Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help.可知可以向別人求助，不要單獨(dú)靠自己。也就是說要靠一個(gè)支持的網(wǎng)絡(luò)來提高自己的意志力。故E正確。

5.C 根據(jù)前句Quitting smoking?可知我們要克服抽煙一些不好的生活習(xí)慣，故C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.避免去酒吧或者餐廳，因?yàn)樵谀抢锬愫苋菀拙捅晃�引再次抽煙�?/p>
