A. These are about making yourself
a better person.
B. For example, a student may have to find
more time to study.
C. There are good reasons for this.
D. The start of the year is often a time for

2c
1. Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind
of promise. Most of the time, we make promises
to other people. (“Mom, I promise I’m going to
tidy my room when I get back from school.”)
However, promises you make to yourself are
resolutions, and the most common kind is New
Year’s resolutions. __________When we make
resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope
that we are going to improve our lives. Some
people write down their resolutions and plans
for the coming year. This helps them to
remember their resolutions. Others tell their
family and friends about their wishes and plans.
D
promise
1.名词，“诺言，承诺”
make promises to… 对…做出承诺

2.动词，“许诺，承诺”

promise + 从句 承诺…
2. There are different kinds of resolutions.
Some are about physical health. For example,
some people promise themselves they are
going to start an exercise program or eat less
fast food. Many resolutions have to do with
self-improvement. _________ Some people
might say they are going to take up a hobby
like painting or taking photos, or learn to
play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do
with better planning, like making a weekly
plan for schoolwork. _________
A
B
have to do with… 与…有关
have nothing to do with… 与…无关
We have nothing to do with him.
3. Although there are differences,
most resolutions have one thing in
common. People hardly ever keep
them! ________ Sometimes the
resolutions may be too difficult to
keep. Sometimes people just forget
about them. For this reason, some
people say the best resolution is to
have no resolutions! How about
you—will you make any next year?
