Imagine telling someone you meet today what youre going to do
13、. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesnt it feel good to say it out loud? Dont you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.Any time you have a goal, there is some work
14、that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until youd actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(承认) it, psychologists have found its called a “social_reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into a feeling that its already done. And th
15、en, because youve felt that satisfaction, youre less motivated to do the actual and necessary hard work. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a professor of psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did
16、some new tests that were published. It goes like this：163 people across four separate testseveryone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(承诺) to this goal to the room, and half didnt. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towa
17、rds their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Finally those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes
18、on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.【解题导语】实现一个目标需要做一些工作，试验表明，在实现目标之前就告诉别人你的目标并得到别人的认可，则有可能使你感到满意，陷入目标已完成的错觉，从而动力减少，不能很好地去工作。而在实现目标之前没有说出目标则会使你工作更努力。5What do the words “social reality” in paragraph 2 mean?ACompletion of the goal.BNecessary ha
19、rd work.CPeoples acknowledgement.DA sense of satisfaction.A解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词组后一句“The mind is kind of tricked into a feeling that its already done.”并结合画线词组所在句可推知，social reality在此处意为“目标的完成”。6What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?AWriting down the goal is very helpful.BAchieving personal goal needs mo
20、re time.CKeeping the goal secret makes people work harder.DMaking the goal public makes people less satisfied.C解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句“Finally those who kept their mouths shut.to achieving their goal.”可知，Peter Gollwitzer想告诉我们：没有说出目标的人工作时间更长，工作更努力。7How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about peoples go
21、al?ABy giving figures.BBy giving examples.CBy making a survey.DBy making comparison tests.D解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，Peter Gollwitzer把所测试的对象分成两部分，一半说出自己的目标，一半没有说出目标，每个人都给了45分钟，他们可以随时停止。试验表明，没有说出目标的人平均工作了45分钟，而说出目标的人平均工作了33分钟。由此可知，Peter Gollwitzer是通过进行比较测试来证明他的观点的，故选D。8What will probably happen if you tel
22、l your friends your goal?AYou will be more confident.BYou will not gain satisfaction.CYou are less likely to realize it.DYoull be much more motivated.C解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的内容，尤其是最后一句中的“because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it”可推知，如果你把目标告诉你的朋友，你就不太可能会实现目标，故选C。【难句分析】Finally those who kep
23、t their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal.分析：本句主句主语是those，谓语是worked, said。who kept their mouths shut是who引导的定语从句，修饰先行词those; when asked afterwards是时间状语从句的省略形式；they felt they had a long way to
24、go to achieve their goal是省略了that的宾语从句，作said的宾语。译文：最终，那些保持沉默的人平均工作了整整45分钟，当后来被问到时，他们说他们觉得要实现目标还有很长的路要走。.七选五(2020陕西部分学校摸底)As we all know, health is more important than wealth.
