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.
   【K1】______
   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.
   【K2】______
   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!
   【K3】______
   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. "
   【K4】______
   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.
   【K5】______
   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
【K1】
选项
答案F
解析 本段首句为主题句，提出Setting big goals is exciting but starting with small boring goals is more likely to lead to success．(虽说设立大目标会令人兴奋，但从微小甚至无聊的小目标开始更可能使人获得成功。)注意转折词but之后的内容为语句的重心所在。而接下来提到的small changes与small actions都是small goals的具体表现。F项含有本段核心关键词small goals，因此该项为本题答案。
