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。A. These are about making yourself a better person.

C. There are good reasons for this.
D. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions.ABA 句意：These are about making yourself a better person.这些决心是有关让你自己成为一名更优秀的人的。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：For example, a student may have to find more time to study.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。C句意： There are good reasons for this. 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。2cMatch each paragraph [1-3]with its main purpose below.
