It’s part of the new year ritual—an annual attempt to start afresh and turn over a new leaf. But making resolutions is a near pointless exercise, psychologists say.
【C1】______than a quarter of those asked for a university study had managed to【C2】______to their resolutions. Of those who【C3】______, many had followed the silly【C4】______of self-help experts—which almost【C5】______disaster.
Richard Wiseman, a psychologist who【C6】______the analysis, said his team had asked 700 people about their【C7】______for achieving new year resolutions. Their goals【C8】______from losing weight or giving【C9】______smoking to gaining a qualification or【C10】______a better relationship.
Of the 78% who failed, many had focused on the downside of not achieving the goals; they had controlled their strong desires, fantasised about being successful, and adopted a role model or 【C11】______willpower alone.
On the other hand, people who kept their resolutions tended to have【C12】______their goal into smaller steps and【C13】______themselves when they achieved one of these. They also told their friends about their goals, focused on the benefits of success and【C14】______a diary of their progress.
Making new year resolutions at the【C15】______minute can backfire(适得其反), Wiseman warned,【C16】______such decisions tend to be less【C17】______motivated. "If you do it on the【C18】______of the moment, it probably doesn’t mean that much to you and you won’t give it your all. Failing to achieve your【C19】______is often psychologically harmful because it can rob people of a【C20】______of self control." [br] 【C11】
选项
A、focused on
B、lay in
C、consisted in
D、relied on
答案
D
解析
考查短语识别。focus on“关注”;lie in“在于……”;consist in“存在于”;rely on“依靠,依赖”。此空前的or表明此处的动词与前面的adopted“采用”意义上应是一致的,即“通过……手段”,因此选relied on,此处表示“依靠意志力”。
