It is easy to get stuck，both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalism and living simply should be your resolution for 2018.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism(消费 ):get a good job,get a nice car, and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and work and work to only buy and buy and buybut does all that material wealth really lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things，when we should be filling our time with friends，value，and service?An article from the website，Becoming Minimalist， points out the problem with this cycle(循环 ) in the best way，“ Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own. Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before， earn more income， but save less.”Minimalism isnt all about ridding(摆脱 )consumerism and products from your life. Minimalism is about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days，minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2018.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If something doesnt have special meaning or adds no value to your lifegive it away. Have only what you need and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit，whether it be two weeks or six months，whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then put your selfwill to the test. After your allowed time，chances are you will realize all those extra blouses werent worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV,cell phone,computer,etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week，or only 30 minutes of social media per day. Youll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear out some unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then，see what may help you or stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesnt lead to your happiness and success and add more of what does.Remember，a pared down lifestyle doesnt mean less success or less happiness. It represents your freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.26 . The cycle “ people work and work only to buy and buy” shows .Apeople get stuck physically and spirituallyBpeople dont believe wealth leads to happinessCpeople dont want to save moreDpeople fall in love with buying27 . To practise minimalistic living，you should .Agive away your drawers and closetsBgo to the shopping mall every six monthsChave 30 minutes of social media per dayDdiscover your life goals and values28 . The words “ pared down”in the last paragraph probably mean “” .AfreeBlightCpopularDconvenient29 . Which of the following best explains the writers opinion?AIt might take you a long time to wait for the “ right”thing.BClear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.CChange yourself with the development of society.DFreedom is more important than success.Many people do not like to stay at home on holidays. They want to go out to see something different or do something interesting. So people from the country come to the city and people from the city go to the country for holidays. During the holidays，trains，buses and planes are all very busy. It is very hard to buy train tickets or air tickets. Many people take cars or buses for travelling.Last May Day my family went to the country by car for our holidays. There was too much traffic on the road，so we had to move very slowly. It took us about an hour to get out of town. After some time，we came to a hill. It was green and beautiful. We thought this was a good place for a picnic，so we stopped and took the food，fruit and drinks out of the car. We sat down and began to eat. Suddenly a strong wind blew and soon it started to rain. We had to run back to our car and had our picnic in the car. Then we drove back home. What a bad holiday!30 .

But in Australia, Jim and Roberts mother, Mrs. Black, has good and right ways to get their children to do housework. Here is an example.“Mom,have you worked out next weeks housework? Let Jim and me choose the cards. I cant wait. Its fun.” When Robert shouted out, his mother had already put all the cards on their big table. On the cards, there are some words like these, “sweep the floor, clean your bedroom, help mom cook, wash vegetables, make beds, feed the fish, cut the wood, clean the bathroom” and many others, Jim and Robert chose two cards for each day from Monday to Friday. Then they would hang them on the week day task board. Jim likes to clean the bathroom, so he picked up the card“clean the bathroom”. Robert loves to make the bed so he picked up his favorite card. Jim again picked up“wash vegetables” and Robert chose“feed the fish”. Soon the two boys were happy to take away all the cards.To help the children do housework, their mother thought hard and came up with this idea.
