A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.From the first paragraph we know that .
| A．people always fail to break bad habits |
| B．we must change all the habits we have |
| C．a habit is a terrible thing we can never change |

According to the passage, if you want to drop your habits, you have to .
| A．talk to others when you are in low spirits | B．know why you do what you do |

One day, my mother said, “Let’s buy you some new clothes.” I was very happy and surprised because my family didn’t have much money at that time. I bought three dresses, a pink one, a blue one and, best of all, a yellow and blue one. I loved that yellow and blue dress.
I showed my three new beautiful dresses to my best friend Emily. She loved them all and was happy for me. But she also felt sad and said her father could only buy her new clothes for her birthday. So I asked her to pick one. Then she picked the best one—the yellow and blue dress! You should know that I was only 7 years old and it was my turn to feel sad. She wore it and I saw her smiling, so happy and beautiful. I could feel her joy! So, I told her it looked great on her. That day, I did my best to explain this to my mother. She smiled and said, “I understand. You’re always my good little girl!”

A teacher takes a very big bottle and puts a few big stones (石头) into it. He asks the students, “Is the bottle full?”
They all answer, “Yes!”
The teacher then puts some small stones into the bottle. The small stones are between the big stones. He then asks, “Is it full now?”
Some students give no answer, but most answer, “Yes!”
The teacher then starts to put some sand (沙子) into the bottle. For the third time, the teacher asks, “Is it full?”
Now most students give no answer, but some still answer, “Yes!”
Then the teacher pours (倒) a cup of water into the bottle. “What does it tell us?” asks the teacher.
One clever student answer, “No matter (无论) how busy you are, you can always find time to do some more things.”
“No,” says the teacher. “If you don’t put the big stones into the bottle first, you can never get them in. The big stones are the important things in your life.
