To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(內(nèi)在地) motivated to do it.

Sometimes it’s very difficult to get ourselves moving. The natural tendency is to postpone. Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch—whoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book. The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit. So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals? 

Here are some tips on how to get moving:

Decide what you want. It’s hard to motivate an aimless mind. Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it. Then break it down into smaller sections so it’s easier to handle and less overwhelming.（勢(shì)不可擋）

Keep track of your progress. Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished. Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead.

Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight. It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you’re going for. It makes it attainable and realistic. Likewise, little slogans like “go for it” or “just do it” can give you the little support you need.     

Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (激活) and focus on the end result. If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you’re doing.

Make it a habit. Once you have accomplished your objective, e.g. becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it’s second nature to you and you don’t have to think about it anymore.

64. According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________.

A. they don’t have enough desire

B. their life is filled with routine work

C. they benefit from the force of habit

D. they naturally put off forming new habits

65. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________.

A. self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one’s goal

B. in modern society people tend to become forgetful

C. when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless

D. we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result

66. To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________.

A. keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal

B. make self-improvement your second nature

C. forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans

D. support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house

67. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

   A. Set Goals in Your Life                             B. Get Yourself Motivated

   C. Get into Good Habits                              D. Do Not Postpone

2.___________________________

You probably have an image in your mind of what the "perfect" or "ideal" body looks like．Try not to press yourself to look that way．Each person is born with genes that control the shape of his /her body．Everyone is different．It is important to be comfortable with the body you have．"Healthy" and "ideal" are not always the same．Healthy eating habits and regular exercise are the best ways to look and feel your personal best．

3.____________________________

Exercise does more than just burn calories．For instance, regular exercise makes your muscles strong and flexible, and increases the amount of muscle you have; makes your heart stronger and lowers your blood pressure; makes you feels more energetic, even when you're not exercising and improves your mood and makes you feel better about yourself．

4._____________________________

Always warm up and stretch for 5--10 minutes before you do strength or endurance exercises．Afterward, take 10 minutes to cool down slowly．Your heart should beat  normally when you stop．Do strength and endurance exercises on alternate days, so you will not overwork your body．Exercising as part of a group may help you to exercise regularly．

5._________________________________

Your body runs best on foods high in complex carbohydrates and low in fat and sugar．You also need a certain amount of protein and plenty of vitamins and minerals．Eating a healthy diet wil1 provide your body with everything it needs to run smoothly．Your body breaks down proteins into amino acids（氨基酸）, so you don’t need to buy the amino acids separately．
