Every year its the same. 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.Heres 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 its 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 cant find any excuse not to do it.”“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War II, American factory managers were able toincrease productivityby trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding（重建） 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）At the end of December, people usually _A . plan for the last.B . fail to make big changes.C . try to lose their ideas.D . think about the new year.（2）Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us _A . we should do everything in big steps.B . how to find a small step without any excuse.C . we should try a lot of sudden changes.D . how to change ones life with one small step.（3）The writer of the passage suggests we should _A . take a tiny step to achieve big goals.B . make changes at the end of the year.C . do few experiments with “ kaizen”.D . do things with hard-to-achieve goals.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A .

The same story also happens during rush hours in big cities every day. When there is a crowd, people lose their tempers（脾气）easily. What makes polite travelers suddenly forget their manners?One of the causes is a crowded cabin（车厢）. It makes you feel a distance from your sense of self. In other words, youre no longer yourself.Tiredness also makes travelers lose their self-control.
