　　“First we make our habits，then our habits make us.”——Charles C．Noble

　　It’s such a simple concept，yet it's something we don’t always do. It’s not extremely difficult to do, and yet I think it’s something that would make a world of difference in anyone’s life. Break your goals into habits，and focus on putting those habits into autopilot. My belief is that having one goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals.

　　I try to turn my goals into habits，and in doing so，I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it，seriously，for at least a month，to the exclusion of all else. The more you can focus on it, the more it’ll be put on autopilot. Let’s look at my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting out in running，and l had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. But in order to achieve that goal，I broke it down into two habits：

　　1．I had to make running a daily habit.

　　2．I had to report to people in order to have accountability（责任）—I did this through family，friends and coworkers，through a blog，and through a column in my local newspaper every two weeks. With this accountability，there’s no way l would stop running.

　　The accountability habit took a couple of months，mainly because I didn’t focus on it too much while l was building the running habit. But it stuck，and for that first year of running，I would report to people I knew and blog about my running every day and I would write a column every two weeks for my local paper.

　　Once those two habits were firmly fixed，my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot. I still had to do the work，of course，but it didn’t require constant focus. And eventually，I ran the marathon. I was able to achieve this because，all year long，I had the daily running habit and daily accountability habit. I put my marathon goal into autopilot，and that made it much easier--instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year，I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.

55．According to the passage，we can see the key to forming a habit is ______________.

A．to break the goals into habits

B．to report to other people about your plan

The sun shone in through the dining room window，lighting up the hardwood floor We had been talking there for nearly two hours．The phone of the“Nightline”rang yet again and Morrie asked his helper．Connie，to get it She had been taking down the callers’names in Morrie’s small black appointment book It was clear 1 was not the only one interested in visiting my old professor—the“Nightline”appearance had made him something of a big figure—but I was impressed with．perhaps even a bit envious of，all the friends that Morrie seemed to have

“You know．Mitch，now that I'm dying，I've become much more interesting to people．I’m

on the last great journey here——and people want me to tell them what to pack．”

The phone rang again．

“Morrie，can you talk?”Connie asked

“I’m visiting with my old friend now，”he announced．“Let them call back．”

I cannot tell you why he received me so warmly．I was hardly the promising student who had left him sixteen years earlier．Had it not been for“Nightline，”Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again．

What happened to me?

The eighties happened The nineties happened．Death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened．I traded lots of dreams for a bigger paycheck，and I never even realized I was doing it Yet here was Morrie talking with the wonder of our college years，as if I'd Simply been on a long vacation

“Have you found someone to share your heart with?” he asked

“Are you at peace with yourself?”

“Are you trying to be as human as you can be?”

I felt ashamed，wanting to show I had been trying hard to work out such questions．What

happened to me? I once promised myself I would never work for money，that I would join the

Peace Corps，and that 1 would live in beautiful，inspirational places．

Instead, I had been in Detroit for ten years，at the same workplace，using the same bank，visiting the same barber I was thirty-seven，more mature than in college，tied to computers and modems and cell phones．I was no longer young，nor did I walk around in gray sweatshirts with

unlit cigarettes in my mouth．I did not have long discussions over egg salad sandwiches about the meaning of life．

My days were full，yet I remained，much of the time，unsatisfied

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.

First, employers should take the responsibility for their retried employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.

Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.

In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions. Furthermore, some institutions should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately , as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.

One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some workplaces especially for the elderly where they are independent.

To sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.

66. What is the passage mainly about?

The problem faced by the old in society.

Why we should take responsibility for the old.

How we can improve the lives of the old

Where the old can go to get their pensions.

According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?

Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire

Increase saving levels of people during their working years

Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old

Make available pensions for those who have retired

The underlined word “viable” most probably means ____.

A. impossible B. practical C. usefull D. successful

69. What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money

B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age

C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people

D. There is no single solution to the problem of the old

70. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this article?

A. To point out the need for government supporting for old people

B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people

C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem

D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.
