That can never fly.

For when dreams go,
Life is a barren field.

kinds of resolutions3122bTask 1word链接指导：
先读这三个主题的意思，带着问题去读短文。
通读每个段落，理解这个段落所讲的主要意思。
在相关段落中划出相关的依据，据此确定每个段落主要意思。Para. 3：hardly ever keep them. … the
best resolution is to have no
resolutions!Para. 1：It’s a kind of promise. However,
promises you make to yourself
are resolutions. Para. 2：different kinds of resolutions;
some…; some resolutions… 2cWhich paragraph in the passage do you think each sentence goes in? Write the letters (A--D) in the correct places in the passage. (P 46)These are about making yourself a
better person.
B. For example, a student may have to
find more time to study.
C. There are good reasons for this.
D. The start of the year is often a time
for making resolutions.Task 2指导：
首先，阅读这四个句子，掌握其意思。
然后，再次阅读每个段落，重点阅读每个空格前后句子的意思。
根据上下文意思来确定空格处应填的句子。Para.1 _____ DD句意：新年伊始常是下新年决心的时候。第一段中介绍了resolution的意思。第一空格前句意“最普通的一种就是新年决心”，空格后句意为“当我们在新年的开端下新年决心的时候……”可推测出本空应填此句。Para.2 _____ _____A 句意：这些决心是有关让你自己成为一名更优秀的人的。AB由前一句话“很多决心与自我提高有关。”，可知空格处是对这句的进一步解释。B句意：例如，一名学生可能必须利用更多的时间来学习。本段中介绍了不同类型的决心，并一一举例说明。由空格前所列是第三种“与更好的计划有关的决心”，本空格处应为举例说明这种类型的决心的情况。Para.3 _____C句意： 对此种情况有不错的理由。C本段中心意思是对下新年决心这种想法的怀疑。由空格前句意“人们很难实现他们”，及空格后的两句都是叙述不能实现这些决心的原因，可知空格处应选C句。2dAnswer the questions with short sentences.
