Skim for the main idea
read the first sentences of each paragraph quickly without reading every word
Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. ____________ When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. __________ Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. ____________
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! ___________Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you-will you make any next year?

Dreams
— Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die.
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That can never fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go,
Life is a barren field.
Frozen only with snow.
梦想
— 兰斯顿 ·休斯
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消亡,
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀,
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消丧,
生命就像贫瘠的荒野,
雪覆冰封,万物不再生长。
