第二节 阅读表达
阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
You often hear “New year, new me” on January 1st. It's common to make a new year's resolution on this day. You can decide to stop doing something, like eating sweets or chocolate, to get healthier. People also like to start something new. There are lots of things you can do! Many people choose to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year's resolution.
I think new year's resolutions are a good idea. They give people motivation (动机) to do good things for themselves. When other people have the same resolution as yours, it helps you to stick to your own. For example, you can go jogging with friends a few times a week. It's more fun and helps you to keep the resolution.
Also, I think it's important to choose a realistic (实际的) new year's resolution. In the past, I made some resolutions. I wanted to give up chocolate and start learning Kung Fu. But soon, I gave up some of them, like not eating chocolate. They were too hard to keep. And some I kept on with and still do now.
This year, my resolution is to travel less by plane. There are more eco-friendly ways, like taking the train or bus. I know I'll do something good for the environment.
