问题     Have you ever started a diet or exercise program but didn’t stick with it? If you are like millions of other people, you’ve set out with the best intentions but failed to keep the momentum going. Relying on motivation and willpower doesn’t work. Instead, there is another way! 95% of our life is dictated by the subconscious mind, the part of our brain that runs our lives on autopilot. By consciously deciding to create a new habit, you can harness the power of your unconscious to create a new neural pathway. Once a new habit is established it becomes easy to do. Here are several steps to turn any desired new activity into a habit.  Once a habit is established you’ll find yourself doing effortlessly.

    Setting big goals is exciting but starting with small boring goals is more likely to lead to success. Some examples of small changes would be to meditate for 10 minutes, replace one unhealthy snack with raw veggies, or walk 15 minutes per day. Taking small actions tricks your brain. Your subconscious likes to be in control—it doesn’t like change. A big change often sets up subconscious resistance, but you can sneak a small change by it.
    Use Triggers
    A trigger is something that leads you to automatically doing something else. Smokers, for example, are triggered to smoke after a meal. Use triggers to your advantage. If you commit to always meditating after breakfast, after a few weeks you’ll automatically think about meditating after your morning meal.  Visual triggers work well, too. Lay your workout clothes on the bed in the morning will encourage you to work out when you get home from work.

    Make sure you have everything you need to ensure your success. If you want to start a walking program, get comfortable walking shoes and a pedometer. People who wear a pedometer walk 27% more than those who don’t!
    【D3】______________________________________
    The more difficult and time-consuming it is to take an action, the less likely you will do it. This is why so many people who buy gym memberships drop out. It’s just not that convenient. Get everything you need ready ahead of time so that when it’s time you can, as Nike says, "Just Do It. "
    【D4】______________________________________
    If you don’t enjoy doing something, you aren’t going to stick with it. Find ways to make your lifestyle change as enjoyable as possible. Exercise with a friend, learn to cook healthy foods that are delicious, or find a meditation program that really resonates with you.

    When American comedian Jerry Seinfeld was an unknown, he created the habit of writing new material daily using a wall calendar and a red marker. Every day he wrote, he put a big red "X" through that day. He didn’t want to see any blank days. Use this technique for one month and you’ll find your new habit will largely be formed.
    By using these steps to create a habit you are tricking your brain to create a new neural pathway. Once the habit is formed you can use it to serve as a gateway to bigger changes that can truly change your life. A journey of a thousand miles really does begin with a single step.
    [A] Don’t Break the Chain
    [B] Be Prepared
    [C] Make It Fun
    [D] Maintain Realistic Expectations
    [E] Make It Convenient
    [F] Set Small Goals
    [G] Make a Big Change
【D5】
选项
答案A
解析 本段的开头部分讲了美国喜剧演员杰瑞·宋飞的故事。他未出名时养成了天天利用挂历和红色记号笔写新内容的习惯。每天写了新内容，他就在当天的日期上画一个大大的红叉。他不想看见哪天是空白的。最后一句总结道：你也可以效仿这种方法(this technique)，一个月后，新习惯就会基本形成。this technique是对前面提到的杰瑞·宋飞采用的方法的概括，这种方法的关键就是每天坚持不间断。A项的Don’t Break the Chain的字面意思是“不要打断链条”，也就是“不要间断”的含义，高度概括了本段内容，所以本题答案为A项。
