As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.

Here’s a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard to achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it, said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes. During World WarⅡ, American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “Kaizen”, which means “improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.

1.Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us ______.

A. we should do everything in big steps

B. how to change one’s life with one small step

C. we should try a lot of sudden changes

D. how to find a small step without any excuse

2.The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means “______”.

A. 提高生产率

B. 增加成本

C. 增加出口量

D. 提高待遇

3.The writer of the passage suggests we should ______.

A. make changes at the end of the year

B. do few experiments with “Kaizen”

C. do things with hard to achieve goals

D. take a tiny step to achieve big goals

4.Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?

A. You can achieve your goals if you are not too busy.

B. Robert Maurer studied “kaizen” and found it helpful.

I often hear some students say English is difficult, and it gives them a headache. So they can't learn it well. But English is very easy for me. I'm good at it. I'm very glad to tell you something about how I study English.

First, I think an interest (爱好) in English is very important. When I was in Grade One, we had a new subject - English. It was fresh for me . I was interested in it, so I worked hard at it. Soon we had an English exam and I got a very good mark. How happy I was! After that, I learned English harder and harder. Our English teacher often teaches us English songs, the songs sound nice.

How happy I am when I understand!
