阅读理解（13） A Well, there is no doubt about it that time seems to be flying！It feels like you just get the holidays trappings_and__trimmings put away and it's time to get them out again. When we interviewed women for our book Love for Grownups, we discovered that as the holidays came to an end, women looked to the New Year with both anticipation and a bit of dread. How can you look at the New Year as a fresh start? Here are some ideas： Keep your resolutions reasonable. Sure, we all might want to put “lose ten pounds by Valentine's Day” on our resolution list, but let's be practical here － the odds of that happening are probably pretty slim, but if you do achieve that goal, good for you! Try thinking of more“life changing”resolutions like“try something new this year”or“get in touch with friends from college” that kind of thing. The pounds will take care of themselves. Use deadlines to help you do things you've put off. One woman we interviewed for our book told us that she and her husband had been meaning to rewrite their wills for over three years and still hadn't gotten around to it.One of her friends finally said，“Use your wedding anniversary as the deadline for writing your wills.Tell yourselves you'll have it done before you celebrate.”And they did. |
