七、阅读表达(10分)
At the beginning of a new year people always like to make a New Year's resolution(快 in hy theme elves They also love to make promises to others. It is that that resolutions and promises are good for peoples’ lives. They can help people to be better and better in the future.
However, the truth is different. To improve ourselves, we often make up our mind to do something. Have you ever said to yourself, "My New Years" resolution is to play the piano well and I will play it an hour a day Have you ever promised to your father, "Dad, I will give up playing computer games on weekdays " Have you ever told your teacher, "Mr. Zhang, I plan to study hard at English " Have you ever talked with your friends, "We must practise running from now on " I'm afraid most of us have had such kind of experiences. However, we find it difficult to put our resolutions or promises into action. Therefore, at the end of the year, we often realize we don't achieved our goals at all. Resolutions are just the words which were once written on the paper and promises are just the words which were once talked about in the mouth.
People hardly ever keep resolutions or promises. Some people say that they are too busy to do that. Others say they just forget about that. In fact, it's easier to say something than do it. A promise is made by words, but it is kept by actions. Action speaks louder than words.
As for me, I take pride in myself. I always remind(提醒) myself to pay attention to the moment I'm going through because that's the only way to achieve goals. So no matter what, no matter when, all I need to do is just to keep my eyes on the thing I'm doing now and make it better.
1. When do people love to make promises to others
2. What can help people to be better and better in the future
3. How many examples about resolutions and promises are mentioned in Paragraph 2
4. What is a promise kept by
5. How does the writer feel about himself
