To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(ÄÚÔÚµØ) motivated to do it£®
Sometimes it¡¯s very difficult to get ourselves moving£®The natural tendency is to postpone£®Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch¡ªwhoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book£®The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit£®So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals? 
Here are some tips on how to get moving:
Decide what you want£®It¡¯s hard to motivate an aimless mind£®Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it£®Then break it down into smaller sections so it¡¯s easier to handle and less overwhelming£®£¨ÊƲ»¿Éµ²£©
Keep track of your progress£®Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished£®Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead£®
Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight£®It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you¡¯re going for£®It makes it attainable and realistic£®Likewise, little slogans like ¡°go for it¡± or ¡°just do it¡± can give you the little support you need£®    
Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (¼¤»î) and focus on the end result£®If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you¡¯re doing£®
Make it a habit£®Once you have accomplished your objective, e£®g£®becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it¡¯s second nature to you and you don¡¯t have to think about it anymore£®
СÌâ1:According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________£®
A£®they don¡¯t have enough desire
B£®their life is filled with routine work
C£®they benefit from the force of habit
D£®they naturally put off forming new habits
СÌâ2:It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________£®
A£®self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one¡¯s goal
B£®in modern society people tend to become forgetful
C£®when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless
D£®we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result
СÌâ3:To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________£®
A£®keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal
B£®make self-improvement your second nature
C£®forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans
D£®support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house

Having one of those days¡ªor weeks¡ªwhen everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(ÐÄÇé) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster¡ªoften within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad­mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten­minute walk, or doing some quick  exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a pep talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(±¯¹ÛµÄ) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (¡°I still don't have a job.¡± vs ¡°I have two interviews next week.¡±)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful mood­lifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing, all of which sound complicated(¸´ÔÓµÄ) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a to­do list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas,  you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(´Ì¼¤) your mind¡ªsomething that the TV show ¡°Neighbors¡± won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(Ãæʳ), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.
СÌâ1:Which of the following may help us stop a bad mood?
A£®Doing nothing about it.
B£®Exercising and enjoying music.
C£®Writing down negative thoughts.
D£®Talking about it with neighbors.
СÌâ2:Why is it suggested that you close your eyes and picture the beach?
A£®It helps remove bad mood.
B£®It brings us a new technique.
C£®It is not complicated to do so.
D£®It is an area to be easily controlled.
СÌâ3:TV may not improve your mood because it ________.
A£®shows what happens around you
B£®does not energize you
C£®reminds you of eating and drinking
D£®produces a calming effect
СÌâ4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A£®Energy Level and Stress
B£®How to Beat a Bad Mood
C£®Bad Mood and Our Life
D£®How to Control Your Feeling

Those three ___22___ words show that New Year is a time to leave behind our ___23___ and step forward. It¡¯s the time to renew ourselves by getting rid of the negative things of the past ¡ª ___24___, pain and so on. It¡¯s also the right time to give up thoughts of fear and failure.
For those who are ___25___ what to change, Dada has a simple suggestion: write down all the things that you don¡¯t ___26___ about yourself¡­ every single one. They could be small or big, easy or difficult ¡ª ___27___ write them all down. Putting them on ___28___ brings clearness of thought, which is the first step towards bringing about any change.

As I got up today, I smelt fresh coffee. I woke up to   36   a cup of it with some biscuits on my bedside table. This reminded me of   37  , the old school and college days, when mom used to wake me up by serving a   38   cup of coffee. The taste is still so   39   in my memories.
A   40    thought hit me, ¡°I was in bed, so who prepared this coffee for me? Is it a dream?¡±
I pinched£¨Æþ£©myself, ouch¡­ that hurt, which meant I was not   41  . I walked out of the room with the cup of coffee,   42   my roommate. I asked him whether he prepared that for me, and the answer was YES.

On my way to my office, I was thinking about those days when mom used to cook my   47  meal. I could not   48   any single day when I slept without food. But now, I no longer   49  the food mom cooked.
This very thought   50   tears to my eyes and I decided to call up mom. I reached the office and gave her a call.
The first thing she asked was, ¡°Is everything all right?¡± I was   51  . And I thought, ¡°How the time has   52  ¡±.
When I was with her, I used to call her after every hour when I was out with my friends. In those days she   53   asked me what was wrong, as she knew that it was my habit. My call at this point of the day to her meant that I was in   54  .
Time has changed, she is still the same, and it is   55   who have changed.

I'll be a photographer. I'm going to bring bits of Australia back home with me. I told myself this before, yet I feel so doubtful on this plane that's flying me thousands of miles away. I was so confident yesterday .But today I don't belong to this plane where men sit with briefcases reading newspapers. They're all adults.
I've never been out of the US. And now ,I'm traveling into Australia alone, a world I know nothing about. A part of me recognizes it as home.
I remember little about my mother, but I remember she had an Australian accent and golden hair. She wan fun and she would often take us to New Jersey beaches, where we would spend the whole day taking walks along the shore. My mom told me that in Australia, Christmas was always spent on the beach with friends and family, and everyone wore Santa hat with their bathing suits. It never got cold and bitter there. My mom was different and I was proud of her.
I don't know how she met my father. but after they met several years, they got married and moved into an apartment in New Jersey. Then I was born and we were a perfect family of three who went out to dinner and watched movies in the dark and loved each other.
I know things have been hard on my father since my Mom died years ago. It's hard for me, too, and I have to experience the wonderful place my mom grew up in and loved. My mom talked about Australia so much and now I have to see this place.

Every summer thousands of Americans stay at home instead of going on holiday because they're overweight. They don't want people to see them sunbathing and they don't want to have to squeeze into plane seats£¬But now£¬thanks to the growing number of weight-friendly holiday packages£¬the overweight are having their days in the sun.
"Overweight people will have a great time on our holidays as we don't judge them like other people do£¬" said Liz Nickels£¬the owner of Big Adventures£¬a US-based company that hosts scuba-diving¡ªa sport of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connect­ed to a tank on your back for larger people. As a way to keep up with the demand for extralarge accommodation£¬many hotels in the US have started to offer features such as wide beds and hand-held showers. But the best in plus-size vacation lies at Mexico's Freedom Paradise£¬a 112-room resort(¶È¼ÙʤµØ) opening this month£¬which urges guests to" Live Large£¬Live Free" .
The hotel has wide doorways£¬reinforced furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public bea­ches. "It's not a hotel just for large people. It's a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday£¬" said owner J urrian Kilnk£¬"What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don't feel comfortable at resorts. "Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.
Though many welcome the new service£¬some feel differently. "I have a real problem with this£¬"said Nancy Lenhart£¬the owner of Camp La Jolia£¬a Californian weight-loss and fit­ness camp.
"If you talk about oversized beds and doorways you are throwing their weight in their faces. Overweight people want to be normalized. They shouldn't be discriminated against like this. "

A£®they don't like sunbathing B£®they don't want to be looked at
