If you have failed in the past to try to make big changes in life, try again now, one tiny step at a time.

Every year it's the same．As December comes to an end，you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life．But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year，you think about the last year．You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make，but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life．

Here's a suggestion：Forget the too big，hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones．“We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though it's so hard for us to reach it．” said Robert Maurer，who recently wrote the bookOne Small Step Can Change Your Life．“What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we can’t find any excuse not to do it．”

“Kaizen”，a Japanese word，is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes（态度．During World War Il，American factory managers were able to increase ，continuous improvements instead of sudden changes．After the war，the idea was brought to a rebuilding（重建）Japan．It made Japan develop fast．The Japanese called it “kaizen”，which means “improvement”．

Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it．“Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything．

( )34. At the end of December，people usually ________ ．

A．fail to make big changes B．plan for the last year C．think about the new year D．try to lose their ideas

( )35．The underlined part “increase productivity” in the passage means “ ”．

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.

Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.

Why do people work so many hours? Some people work hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don't pay overtime. Their workers don't get more pay for more work. Some people thinkit's their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don't work more hours.

Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy." If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.

It’s said that eyes are the windows of our soul. Beautiful and bright eyes not only show a good healthy but also make you look attractive. However, to have healthy eyes, you have to look after them properly. Your eyes need everyday attention.

Pay more attention to your diet. First, eat food that is good for your eyes. They are fresh fruits and vegetables as well as fish, eggs and milk. Besides, a regular amount(数量) of Vitamins A and B2 should also be taken.

A regular and sound sleep is a must. It relaxes the eye muscles(肌肉) and gives them the rest. Sleep not only helps the body to repair its tired tissues(组织). Usually, you must sleep for at least seven to eight hours every day. Loss of sleep can give you dark circles under the eyes.

You must exercise your eyes every day. Blink(眨眼) your eyes at regular periods, which makes the eyeballs watery and gives them a good wash.

We use our eyes in many unnoticeable and wrong ways. For example, if a small thing goes into our eye, we start rubbing(揉) it, which is wrong. Rubbing can cause damage to your eyes. Don’t read or write in poor or bright sunlight. Always use sunglasses as sunlight can cause eye tiredness. Light should not shine directly in your eyes. Too much reading,
