Ⅴ. 任务型阅读（主题：人与自我·自我提升）
Lots of people start each year with New Year's resolutions. A resolution is a promise to help you live a better life. You plan to do something good or to stop doing something bad in the coming year. Here are two children's New Year's resolutions.
Rose: I hope to be healthier in the new year. I usually watch TV a lot at night and only sleep for seven hours a day. I will listen to my body and sleep more. Also, I decide to run for half an hour every morning. As the saying goes, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” It seems to make sense(有道理), so I'm also going to eat some fresh fruit and vegetables every day.
Jenny: I have many different kinds of hobbies, like singing, dancing and swimming. This year, I'm going to take up a new hobby—taking photos. I will learn it from my uncle. He takes photos for some magazines and he is very good at it.
It's OK for you to have a big or small resolution. What's important is that you should take it seriously and try to keep it. Don't let it work only for a few weeks or months.
