Everyone wants to become perfect. Unluckily, being perfect may not happen. Here’s some useful advice about how to refuse perfection.
No more comparisons (比较)
Compared with others, you may feel that you are not perfect. The solution? End your comparison. No comparing, no pain.
Accept your mistakes
When perfection is your aim, mistakes mean failure. Your fear of criticism (批评) may keep you from taking risks or trying new things. Nobody is perfect. Take it easy. You needn’t take others’ words seriously.
Ask for help
Part of beating perfection is accepting that mistakes are part of human beings. If you don’t give up, you will be successful one day. You shouldn’t prevent yourself from asking for help you need to really improve.
Don’t judge (评判) yourself
Find a trusted friend, family member or teacher who is not a perfectionist—someone who can take criticism and has learned from his or her mistakes. Share your goals and achievements with him or her, no matter how small they are.
Pay attention to your language
Cut out the words like never, always and should from your self-talk. Carry a notebook and take notes whenever you want to say these words. Realizing this means you’re well on your way to changing yourself better.
The more confidence you develop, the less you’ll feel the need to be perfect. And when you give up perfection, happiness can begin right now.

Everyone wants to be perfect. Finding a good way to achieve self-improvement (自我提高) is more and more popular. For this, the beginning of a new year is a great time to think about ways that you can improve in the coming year. Here are some suggestions for New Year’s resolutions(决定).
Firstly, make sure your goal is realistic(现实的). Winning the lottery(彩票), for example, may not come true. Then, describe your resolutions in detail, instead of “I don’t want to be lazy”, “ I want to exercise every day” or “I will cut down on my television watching”. At last, break down large goals into small ones. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start by joining a gym or improving your eating habits.
Your New Year’s resolutions and goals can be about anything, from saving more money so that you can buy a really cool toy that you like, to making more friends, or to spending more time with your family. Start by writing down some goals on a piece of paper. After you finish, keep the paper somewhere you can see, like on your fridge or a wall in your room. Don’t forget to check the things on the paper that you have completed as some time passes.

Everyone wants to have a perfect life. But how can we own that? The writer called Brian Tracy tells us some tips:
The first goal common to all of us is healthy and energy.
We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy
and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the quick
development of medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.
The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships, getting along well with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships(人际关系) at each time, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more effect on the quality of your life than perhaps any other reasons.
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted(提升) faster. You want to earn as much money as possible at any time, whatever you do.
The last goal we all have in common is to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. You want to be completely free of worries about money.

In the United States, sometimes when one becomes rich, he wants everyone to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is a story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, and that was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw rich people riding horses, Momand went horse-riding every day. When he saw that the rich had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because another one was always trying to keep up. The race ended when Momand and his wife finally found that they could no longer pay for their new way of life and had to move back to an old apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do such things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series(系列)of short novels, and he called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Since then, Momand’s series came out in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem, to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what he does, a Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
1.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they __________.
A. want to be as rich as their neighbors B. want others to know or to think that they are rich
C. don’t want others to know they are rich D. want to be as happy as others
2.It can be inferred(推测)from the story that rich people like to __________.
A. go horse-riding with neighbors B. live inside New York City
C. compare with others D. give big parties for servants
3.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of novels because “Jones” is __________.
A. an important name to Mr. Momand B. not a good name to Americans
C. Mr. Momand’s neighbor’s name D. a popular name in the United States
4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph(段落)tells us that __________.
A. keeping up with Joneses helps you to know what you’re able to do
B. according to the writer, it is impossible to keep up with the Joneses
C. people can be rich and successful by having competitions with others
D. we should fight for a better life on our own instead of depending on others
