Question

Read the following passage and answer the questions.
The New Year is a time for resolutions. Mentally, at least most of us could compile
formidable lists of do's' and 'don'ts Tor the year. The same old favorites recur year in
year out with monotonous regularity. We resolve to get up earlier each morning, cat
less, find more time to play with the children, do a thousand and one jobs about the
house, be nice to people we don't like, drive carefully, and take the dog for a walk every
day. Past experience has taught us that certain accomplishments are beyond attainment

frustration that results from failure.

announcing our resolutions to everybody so that we look even more foolish when we
slip back into our bad old ways. Aware of these pitfalls, this year I attempted to keep
my resolutions to myself. I limited myself to two modest ambitions; to do physical
exercise every morning and to read more every evening. An all-night party on New
Year's Eve provided me with a good excuse for not carrying out either of these new
resolutions on the first day of the year, but on the sccond. I applied myself assiduously
to the taslo
daily exercise lasted only eleven minutes and I proposed to do them early in th
