    Sometimes the targets we set 61  (us) are just too high. We think that we will be better people in the future. Just as we are 62  (easy) taken over by the planning fallacy(谬见)，believing that we can complete a large project for work in an afternoon,  we think in the future we will be better-organised and more self-disciplined.

It Was finally completed in 1928. by 66   time it was considered out of date and revisions began at once.

    The same thing happens when it comes to  67  ( try) to change our lifestyles. We read about a new idea and that optimism fires up all over again. At the University of Toronto Janet Polivy has been studying what she calls. " false hope syndrome".                    

She found that People set themselves unrealistic targets which they undoubtedly failed to reach, leaving them feeling even 68  (bad) about themselves. Some of the students she studied had tried and failed for 10 years to make the same  69  (change) in their lives, but each year they  70  (convince) that this time it would work.
