However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake. To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we

28、 need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construce goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “Ill stop having

29、desert for lunch,” or “Ill walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.

38、析】推理题。根据文章第二段1,2行To reach our goal of losing weight - the output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input.可知为了实现我们减肥的目的，我们需要控制我们的输入，而不是只关注结果（输出）。这就是我们只为自己设立减肥的目标的错误所在：只注意结果。故B正确。64. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段4,5行His main f

39、inding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output.可知当以输入为基础的时候，激励会有很好的结果。再根据第三段2,3行In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books可知针对输入的激励是让他们读书。故D项说法：奖励他们读书是有效的。故D正确。65. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段可知要想减肥，很重要的是控制住我们的输入

40、。选项里的A项：“Ill give up desert.” 我将放弃甜点。这就属于控制输入。故A正确。66. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句Think about an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.可知作者建议我们快乐那些我们能够采纳也能够坚持的行动习惯。也就是说作者认为我们要采取一些能够成为习惯的行动。故C正确。【长难句解析】To reach our goal of losing weight - the

41、output, we need to control what we eat - the input ( 输入).【翻译】为了实现我们减肥的目标输出，我们需要控制我们吃的东西输入。【分析】本句中的不定式to reach our goal of losing weight在句中充当的是目的状语，后面的主句中有一个动词control的宾语从句what we eat，what引导起这个宾语从句，并在句中充当eat的宾语。四（2014大纲卷）A Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my
