1、阅读下面短文。
Have you ever made a promise to yourself that you didn’t keep? 1.Usually, when the New Year begins, we make resolutions like studying harder or learning to play the guitar. Sadly not long after that, we often end up breaking them. But what if we want to develop a new good habit?
A habit is something we do almost without realizing it. It’s just like having breakfast or saying “Thank you”, which most of us do every day.
2. 极据一项研究, 培养一个新习惯通常需要66天。This is possible. However, willpower (意志力) might not be the only thing you need. The reason for developing the habit is important.
The problem is, your feelings may influence your willpower. For example, a bad feeling may mean you don’t want to do anything.
3.这研究也表明你不应该一次改变太多。 Remember that it’s a case of baby steps. Giving up all your favorite foods, doing morning exercise and going to bed early at the same time will probably result in failure.
4. Finally, if you feel uncomfortable when doing something, then stop doing it.
It might not be quick to develop a new habit. But if you follow the advice, you may succeed. 5.So be patient and believe that you can make change for the better.

24、Dreams are expressions of thoughts, feelings and events that pass through our mind while we are sleeping. Everybody dreams. But only some people remember their dreams. Our dreams often include all the senses ---- smells, sounds, sights, tastes and things we touch. Sometimes we dream the same dream over and over again.
Early in the twentieth century, two famous scientists developed their personal ideas about dreams. Austrian psychiatrist (奥地利心理学家) Sigmund Freud wrote a book called “The Interpretation (诠释) of Dreams” in 1900. Freud believed people often dream about things they want but can’t have. Swiss (瑞士) psychiatrist Carl Jung worked closely with Freud for several years, but he believed dreams could help people grow and understand themselves. He believed dreams provide solutions to problems we face when we are awake. Today we know more about the science of dreaming because researchers can take pictures of people’s brains while they are sleeping.[来
Other researchers are studying how dreaming helps our bodies work with problems and very sad emotions (感情). Robert Stickgold is a professor of psychiatry (心理学教授) at Harvard University in Massachusetts. Doctor Stickgold says that when we dream, the brain is trying to make sense of the world. He does not agree with Sigmund Freud that dreaming is the way we express our hidden feelings and desires (愿望).
Scientists believe it is important to keep researching dreams. Doctor Stickgold says it has been more than one hundred years since Sigmund Freud wrote his important book about dreaming. Yet there is still no agreement on exactly how the brain works when we are dreaming or why we dream.

26、 Science and technology can be seen everywhere. They are making our life more convenient(方便的) and comfortable. Some scientists recently added amazing ideas to four common things and made great changes to them.
It’s not just a phone. China has taken the leading place in several scientific fields. In February, 2019, Huawei introduced Mate X, the first 5G phone that can be folded(折叠) in the world. It allows users to read e-books or watch movies on a larger screen. The Mate X supports(支持) 5G. It means you can get a movie from the Internet about 100 times faster than using 4G. |
They are not just chopsticks. Scientists at an American university have invented a pair of electronic chopsticks that can change the taste of food. When you put the chopsticks in your mouth, they can make you feel the taste becomes better, such as making sweet food taste sweeter or salty food less salty. Soon the scientists are going to try their technology on bottles, cups and spoons(勺子). |
It’s not just a sticker(粘贴). It’s said that about 52% of the fruits of the earth go bad before reaching the buyers. Scientists from Malaysia(马来西亚) thought of a simple way to solve the problem — tiny stickers that are made out of some natural materials(材料). Put the stickers on fruits, and the fruits can keep fresh up to two weeks. |
They are not just shoes. Every step you take is helping cut down air pollution. This is not in science fiction(科幻小说). A team from Europe has invented such a pair of shoes. The shoes can take in dirty air and send out clean air. If you wear the shoes and walk one kilometer, the shoes can clean the air polluted by eight cars. |

27、Everyone needs friends, and if you fail to make friends, you should examine yourself and see if there is something wrong with your personality (性格).

By doing this, things can be better. Besides, to be friendly, you must feel friendly. Smile at someone and you are almost sure to get a smile in return.
When communicating with each other, a friendly person does his best to make a stranger feel at home, wherever he is. Put yourself in the other person’s place and make him feel welcome. And try to remember names. It makes your new acquaintances feel happy when you call them by their names.
