If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life,try again now,one tiny step at a time.

Every year it’s the same.As December comes to an end,you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year,you think about the last year.You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make,but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.

Here’s a suggestion:Forget the too big,hard-to-achieve goals(目标) and just think about the small ones.“We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it’s so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer,who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life.“What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it.”

“Kaizen”,a Japanese word,is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes(态度).During World War Il,American factory managers were able to increase productivity by trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes.After the war,the idea was brought to a rebuilding Japan.It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”.

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything

A.we should do everything in big steps

小题1:B

小题2:D

小题3:A

题目分析:本文是One Small Step Can Change Your Life一书的作者Robert Maurer讲述了如何将远大的目标化成小目标,一小步一小步的实现大的目标。

小题2:根据书的题目 One Small Step Can Change Your Life可知,一小步也可以实现大目标。所以本题选D。

小题3:根据最后一段Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything可知,本题应该选A。
