阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  At the end of my senior year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop.I thought the job would be easy and stress-free.I pictured myself pouring the best coffees, making delicious doughnuts(炸面包圈), and becoming friends with regular customers.

  I wasn't expecting the people with enormous orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy(含乳脂的), or the men who wanted their iced coffees remade again and again until they reached perfection.I couldn't seem to please anyone.

  One rainy day, one of my regular customers came in looking upset.He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets up over his head, and staying there for a few years.I knew exactly how he felt.

  Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee.He was surprised, since he hadn't ordered anything but coffee.I had given him his favorite type of doughnut.

  “It's on me, ” I told him.“Have a nice day.”

  He smiled and thanked me before heading back out into the rain.

  The next day, it was still raining.I spent my afternoon hanging out the window handing people their orders.I was completely wet and freezing cold.Worse, no one was tipping that day.Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more depressed.

  In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window.He handed me a pink rose and a note.He said that not many people took time to care about others and he was glad there were still people like me in the world.With a friendly wave, he drove away.

  I ran to the back of the shop and read the note.It read:

  Christine,

  Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday.It is so nice to meet someone who's indeed nice.Please don't change your ways! Have a great day! –Hank

  After that, whenever I felt depressed or sick of coffee, I thought of Hank and his kindness.Then I would smile, hold my head up high, clear my throat and ask politely, “How can I help you?”

  “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(责任)—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.ask 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
