D.新年伊始通常是下决心的时候。

      1.你知道决心是什么吗？它是一种承诺。很多时候，我们都对别人做出承诺。(“妈妈，我保证我从学校回来后立即整理我的房间。”)然而，你对自己许下的承诺叫作决心，最常见的一种是新年决心。 ______年初我们制订决心的时候，我们希望改善我们的生活。许多人为未来的一年写下他们的决心和计划。这会帮助他们记住他们的决心。其他人把他们的愿望和计划告诉家人和朋友。

      2.决心有很多种。一些是关于身体健康的。例如，许多人跟自己承诺，他们将开始一个训练项目或少吃快餐。很多的决心与自我提升有关。_____ 许多人可能说他们打算培养一个爱好，像绘画、摄影或学习弹吉他。一些决心与合理的时间规划有关，比如制订一周学习计划。_______

      3.尽管有不同之处，但大多数的决心有一个共同的特点。那就是人们很少能够遵守它们！_____有时决心难度太大而难以坚持。有时人们只是忘记了它们。基于这个原因，许多人说最好的决心是没有决心！你呢——明年你会有一些决心吧？
