C. Changing your environment.
D. Start slow.
E. First things first.
    We all know that breaking a bad habit or establishing a new, healthy one can be difficult, but persistence pays off. Researchers at the University of Washington found that 63 percent of those who made New Year’s resolutions were still keeping their resolution two months later. It’s not going to be easy, but there are ways to increase your will power, stay resolved and achieve your goals.
    【R1】______
    Don’t try to restructure your finances, win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Establish one clear, specific goal and formulate a realistic strategy for achieving it. Extra will power sometimes requires extra energy, so don’t stretch yourself too thin. Focus on one goal at a time.
    【R2】______
    Momentum builds gradually, and whatever your goal, don’t expect to achieve it overnight. Real success takes time. If you are trying to kick a caffeine habit, start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of vowing never to drink coffee a-gain. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements that will pave the way toward a larger one. These successes help your will power grow.
    【R3】______
    Bolster your will power by tapping into a support network. Ask friends, family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have skyrocketed, for instance, let friends know that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a potluck dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find a support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meetings. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information—all of which increase commitment and will power.
    【R4】______
    If possible, alter your environment to reduce temptation or encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep an extra set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be tempted to light up.
    【R5】______
    Sometimes changing your behavior requires more than will power. If you are struggling with an addiction or want to make a significant lifestyle change, seek the guidance and support of a professional. An expert may be able to provide intensive support and follow-up or prescribe medication to reduce physical symptoms. For example, without help only 5 percent of smokers can quit but that number rises to 30 percent when people seek both drug therapy and counseling.
    Sometimes will power is a lot like the television remote control—hard to find just when you want it most. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, stop smoking, go to the gym regularly, win a promotion or pay off some debts, developing your sense of will power is an important part of changing any behavior.
【R2】
选项 A、 
B、 
C、 
D、 
E、 
答案D
解析 本段一开始就说，动力是逐渐建立起来的，无论你的目标是什么，不要指望一蹴而就，真正的成功需要时间，并举了例子来说明：要戒除依赖咖啡的习惯，首先开始将清晨的一杯咖啡换成一杯水，而不是发誓从此以后再也不喝咖啡。由此可判断，D“开始慢慢来”能概述此段的大意。
