This is a story that happened 15 years ago but it has always stayed with me since then.On the way back from work every evening,more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway.He always waved at every car,he was always happy and smiling and sometimes almost dancing.Every day after work when I got there,I would quickly roll down my window and give him the coins.Occasionally the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day.His answer would always be the same,“I’m blessed!”.
It amazed me that even in his situation of being homeless he was so positive,and his answer would remind me of how blessed I was.A single mother of four amazing kids,with a place to call home and with a job to provide for my kids.Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off due to the economy.Needless to say that on my was home that day I was very sad and upset.I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did.I wasn’t feeling the joy as I got off the ramp where the homeless man would be.Yet there he was as alway,as l turned the ramp.He set his eyes on me,while still smiling and waving at others.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn,he strolled over to my car.He had a big smile he looked me straight in the eyes and said “today I will give you a dollar”.He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.I was blown away.I burst into tears.I wanted to jump out of my car and hug him!
You see that day he gave me more than a dollar bill,he taught me a valuable lesson.No matter what material things are taken from you,no one can take away your choice to be joyful.

“First we make our habits,then our habits make us.”——Charles C.Noble
It’s such a simple concept,yet it's something we don’t always do. It’s not extremely difficult to do, and yet I think it’s something that would make a world of difference in anyone’s life. Break your goals into habits,and focus on putting those habits into autopilot. My belief is that having one goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals.
I try to turn my goals into habits,and in doing so,I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it,seriously,for at least a month,to the exclusion of all else. The more you can focus on it, the more it’ll be put on autopilot. Let’s look at my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting out in running,and l had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. But in order to achieve that goal,I broke it down into two habits:
1.I had to make running a daily habit.
2.I had to report to people in order to have accountability(責任)—I did this through family,friends and coworkers,through a blog,and through a column in my local newspaper every two weeks. With this accountability,there’s no way l would stop running.
The accountability habit took a couple of months,mainly because I didn’t focus on it too much while l was building the running habit. But it stuck,and for that first year of running,I would report to people I knew and blog about my running every day and I would write a column every two weeks for my local paper.
Once those two habits were firmly fixed,my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot. I still had to do the work,of course,but it didn’t require constant focus. And eventually,I ran the marathon. I was able to achieve this because,all year long,I had the daily running habit and daily accountability habit. I put my marathon goal into autopilot,and that made it much easier--instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year,I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.
55.According to the passage,we can see the key to forming a habit is ______________.
A.to break the goals into habits
B.to report to other people about your plan
C.to set a reasonable goal first
D.to focus on the habit as much as possible
56.The author told people about his running in order to ______________.
A.get more support
B.a(chǎn)sk for their opinions
C.carry out his plan better
D.earn more admiration
57.What do we know about the author?
A.He was a local athlete.
B.He often gave people advice.
C.He had no blogs before.
D.He wrote for a local newspaper.
58.The passage is mainly about ______________.
A.goals and habits
B.how to turn your goals into habits
C.habits and achievements
D.how to make running a good habit
