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.
    【D2】______________________________________
    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.
    【D5】______________________________________
    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
【D3】
选项
答案E
解析 本段首句提出“做一件事的难度越大耗时越长，你去做它的概率也就越小”，随后以许多人办了健身房会员又中途退出为例加以说明，接下来一针见血地指出It’s just not that convenient．(只是因为不是很便利。)最后指出要提前做好一切准备。浏览各选项，B项的Be Prepared与E项的Make It Convenient看似都与本段内容相关，B项与段尾的Get everything you need ready高度一致，但是不能囊括该段其余部分的内容，属于“以偏概全”，所以不能入选。E项是对本段首句的“正话反说…‘反话正说”，而且含有本段核心关键词convenient，所以E项为本题答案。
