(40 points)Text 1 New Year s resolutions(决心)have been around long enough that we all scent to stick to the same ones-hit the gym, lay off the candy, read more books, call your mother-regardless of whether we follow through with our intentions.While January 1st seems like the perfect time to have a new start again, exactly when people developed that mindset(思维模式)isnt common knowledge.

According to many historians, the ancient Babylonians were the first group of people to make New Years resolutions. However, instead of making a commitment to self improvement, they made a commitment to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed.An ancient Roman tradition from 46 BC, bears even more likeness to modern resolutions.

In his honor, they made sacrifices to the god and promises of good behavior for the coining year.But the modern New Years resolution didnt fully form until centuries later.

An article in 1802 states, Statesmen have sworn to have no other objet in view than the good of their country. the physicians have determined to advise the use of medicine no more than is necessary, and to he very reasonable in their fees.”The first time “New Years resolution appeared as a phrase was in the January 1st issue of a Boston newspaper in 1813. “I believe there are a lot of people, the article goes, “with a serious determination of beginning the New Year with new resolutions and new behavior, and with the full belief that they shall accept punishment for all their formerfaults and wipe them away.So as you make (and possibly fail at) your New years resolutions, know that youre in good company.1、Whose New Years resolutions were most different from the present common practice?AAncient Babylonians.BAncient Romans.CStatesmens in the 1800s.DBoston peoples in 1813.2、According to Paragraph 4, the physicians focused their reso
