Tired of bad handwriting, Richie decided to perfect his penmanship (书法) last January. Though the year progressed, his writing didn’t. “My penmanship just got worse,” he says. “I get tired of trying to write neatly.”
Like Richie, many teenagers make resolutions in the New Year. More than half of Americans say they make a New Year’s resolution – but only one-third of them keep to it, reports the University of North Carolina, US.
Demanding (追求) perfection  stops people working on their resolutions, says Chicago life coach Alison Miller.
Resolutions sometimes can be unrealistic (不现实).. Going for a goal  that’s too hard to achieve can leave a person feeling sad. “Saying ‘I’m going to look like a super-model’ is going to make you unhappy,” she says.
Sure, it’s a great idea to aim for improvement, but not all resolutions are helpful. The difference between good and bad resolutions is whether you expect too much from yourself, Miller says. For example, it’s OK to say, “I’m going to eat fewer French fries,” but striving (力争)  for a perfect body isn’t reasonable.
Timing can also damage a resolution. Kevin M., 16, says he doesn"t set resolutions because 12 months is unrealistic. “It’s too long and you start putting off keeping your resolution during summer,” he says.
He’s considering a career in music, but says school is his main focus. Knowing how hard he has to work, he says he’ll “be lucky to get 30 minutes a day” of practice. But a bit is better than nothing, and making reminders can help you make progress. Miller says teenagers should write down their goals and say to themselves, “What can I do today to make my goal a reality?”
“It’s just small steps along the way. It’s not about doing it all at once,” Miller says.
小题1:What’s the writer’s purpose by talking Richie in the first paragraph?
A.To advise people to keep their New Year’s resolutions.
B.To show that some people fail to keep their New Year’s resolutions.
C.To tell readers why Richie isn’t a good hand writer.
D.To show why New Year’s resolutions are important.
小题2:Many Americans stop working on their New Year’s resolutions because ______.
A.they think it is silly to make resolutions
B.they find keeping resolutions is boring
C.the time of keeping resolutions is too short
D.their choice of resolution turns out to be unrealistic
小题3:Which of the following statements would Miller probably agree with?
A.Teenagers should set themselves perfect goals.
B.To achieve your goals, you needn’t write them down.
C.People should try to realize their goals step by step.
D.A good resolution helps people realize their possibility.
