根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

According to statistics published by the University of Scranton，about 45 percent of Americans usually make New Year’s resolutions------and the most popular resolution is losing weight. Of those who make resolutions，a mere 8 percent achieve them.

___1.___ Are we just setting ourselves up for failure? Learn how to make realistic resolutions and how to overcome the roadblocks along the way.

Setting a resolution to lose pounds isn’t a goal that’s achievable now. It may be a good long-term goal. ___2.___ Registered dietitian Elisa Zied says”… to be real when you make a resolution. It’s okay to shoot for the stars like making a resolution，but why not set a smaller goal and train smart?”

The same concept applies to weight loss. ___3.___ These goals should help develop healthy habits that will finally help achieve your long-term resolution.

Notice that these goals are simple and achievable. “Instead of going from zero to 60，from never going to the gym to going four to five times a week，why not start with three days a week，get consistent and build from there，” Zied says. Set yourself up for success and map out your course by making appointments with yourself to be active. ___4.___

You also need to be aware of your current exercise and eating habits to make achievable goals. Keeping a diary of your food and exercise habits can help. Record everything you eat and drink for three to five days and review it. ___5.___For example，if you notice a tendency to snack on unhealthy fare，set a goal to eat a fruit or vegetable with each snack. Building on these smaller goals over time can help you achieve your long-term goal.

A． So why do so many of us fail to achieve our goals?

B． Once you notice your not-so-good habits，start fixing them.

C． Set between one to three weekly goals that you want to achieve.

D． Resolutions usually involve a commitment to sticking to your goals.

E． However，in order to reach it，you need to take baby steps to get it down.

F． If you treat your goals like set appointment，you’re more likely to achieve them.

G． Losing weight，as well as getting a better job，is among the most popular resolutions for adults.

Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic(学术的) achievement and economic success, for possible answers．However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find． In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction．In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education．Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents(答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools．In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices．To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group．The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.

Like in America, there is diversity(多样性) in Japanese early childhood education．Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential(潜力的) development．In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools．Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities．Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.

Neither television nor radio nor magazines nor books nor any other medium can begin to match newspapers for depth and breadth of coverage (新闻报道). In fact, all these media themselves depend on newspapers to bring them information that they then process and distribute as their own brand of news.

Now many newspapers are locked in a struggle for survival. If they lose—which is by no means impossible—we all lose.

The great task for editors and publishers is to respond to the competitive challenge caused by online news, and at the same time use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet，they haven't figured out a smooth and sure way to do that.

So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers won't even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money，it will be too late—too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.

The other big cuts, of course, are in staff (员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid.While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them，there is also a lot of talent.

When experienced staff leave in large numbers—as they often do now—the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights (见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring.

As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign：intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and modest (不太高的) pay.

1.The underlined word “deadwood” in Paragraph 5 may refer to “ ”．

A. the staff who are going to retire

B. people who are no longer useful or needed

C. workers who are experienced

D. reporters who are tired of covering events

2.According to the passage，which of the following can best describe the author's attitude towards the ways the editors and publishers have adopted to get profit?

A. The author has no objection.

B. The author is against them.

C. The author has not shown it clearly.

D. The author regards them reasonable.

3.The author seems to agree with the view that .

A. experienced workers are the last to be laid off

B. journalism is a job offering highest pay for high demands

C. the challenge of newspapers is that there are not enough intelligent young people

D. it is possible that newspapers may not survive in the end

4.It is stressed by the passage that the most important quality for a journalist is .

A. patience B. selfishness C. insights D. sensitivity
