Every time a new year cmes arund, peple set ut t make New Year's reslutins. But
where did this traditin cme frm?
Arund 4,000 years ag in Babyln, peple held celebratins each year t welcme the cming f a new year. The calendar was different back then. The Babylnians started the new year in late March during the first new mn after the spring equinx (春分). The events were knwn as the Akitu festival. They celebrated the rebirth f the sun gd. Babylnians made prmises t get n the right side f all f their gds. They felt this wuld help them start the new year with better luck. This is hw the traditin started.
Reslutins went n with the Rmans. When the early Rman calendar didn't g with Earth's rtatin (旋转) arund the sun, Julius Caesar decided t make a change. He talked t the best experts f his time and used the Julian calendar. It is similar t ur Gregrian calendar. Caesar set January 1st as the first day f the year t shw respect (尊重) t Janus, the gd f new beginnings.
T this day, the traditins f the Babylnians and Rmans still g n arund the wrld. Peple all ver the wrld make reslutins at the beginning f a year. Hwever, nt many peple keep the reslutins they make. Ggle started a Reslutin Map in 2013 t see hw many peple keep their reslutins. It turned ut that nly eight percent f peple were successful in keeping them.

①When yu g t the park, yu might see many lder peple aren't reading paper bks but listening t audibks (有声书). Audibks have becme quite ppular these days. Why are mre and mre peple chsing audibks ver traditinal bks? Is listening t an audibk just as gd as reading a bk?

③But the big questin is, d we get infrmatin frm audibks as effectively (有效地) as we d frm paper bks? Researchers did a research t find the answer.

⑤Hwever, sme peple still believe that they learn better frm reading paper bks. One reasn might be that when we listen t audibks, we are ften multitasking (处理多个任务). "If yu're trying t learn while ding tw things, yu're nt ging t learn as well," Daniel
Willingham, a prfessr f psychlgy at the University f Virginia, tld The New Yrk Times.
27. Why d peple like listening t audibks accrding t Paragraph 2?

C. Because they can listen t them anytime and anywhere they like.
D. Because they hardly have any time t read because f hard wrk.
28. What can we learn frm the passage?

B. Peple get less infrmatin frm audi bks than paper bks.
C. In the research, peple need t read and listen t bks at the same time.
D. Researchers learned hw peple's brains wrk when they listen t and read bks.
29. Why des the writer write this passage?

T make things better, we need t d what we shuld, but d it __58__ a right way. Yu can let g f sme small things as lng as they are nt s imprtant. But if they are, yu shuld take it __59__ (serius).
