阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Hello, I’m David Smith. Now I’d like to share with you the story of how music has had a strong influence on my life.

Have you ever faced a time when things looked dark and you had no hope at all? Two years ago, my body ached all the time. So I went to the doctor. I was told I had a serious illness which was difficult to cure（治愈）. And I thought I didn’t have much longer to live. I was very afraid and I felt so lonely and discouraged.

Then one day, I had to go through a two-hour medical treatment. The doctor wanted me to relax, so she played some music for me, and one of the songs was Happy, which has been my favorite song till now. This positive（积极的）and uplifting song gave me strength（力量）and helped me go through the darkness. From then on, I began to listen to music all the time. John A. Logan once said, “Music is the medicine of the mind.” And it’s true. Music worked wonders for me. It helped me recover（恢复）and come back to life.

Of course, I hope none of you have to experience the same kind of suffering（痛苦）that I did. However, we all go through some periods when we feel sad or lonely. During those times, music can help you in the same way that it helped me. I hope all of you will value music and make it a part of your life.

You’ve probably heard of books that will change your life. And a lot of readers agree that the book Atomic Habits（《原子习惯》）will meet your needs.

James Clear, who did a lot of research on formation of habits, is the writer of Atomic Habits. （1） It has sold over 15 million copies and has been translated into more than 50 languages. And his website receives millions of visitors each month.

（2） That’s because the book introduces a practical system（系统）for creating good habits and breaking bad ones. Readers everywhere are very interested in Clear’s “science of tiny habits”.

In the book, file writer suggests trying to get 1% better each day. For example, you’d like to exercise but you don’t think you have the time or energy. Clear suggests starting with two minutes a day. Over time, the effects of this habit will increase as you repeat the actions. （3） “All big things come from small beginnings,” says Clear.

Clear continues with the following advice: Don’t focus on（聚焦）what you want to achieve. （4） For example, two men want to break the habit of smoking. When offered a cigarette（香烟）, one says, “No, thanks. I’m trying to give up smoking.” The other says, “No, thanks. I’m not a smoker.” While the first man still sees himself as a smoker, the second man doesn’t. Clear says, “Bad habits will die more easily if you focus on who you want to become.”

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success. （5） Slowly but surely, it will have a great effect on your health, job and relationships.

A. Why is it so popular? B. Instead, focus on who you want to become. C. He calls these repeated actions “atomic habits”. D. This book is a No.1 New York Times bestseller. E. Also, it will give you the tools you need to change your habits.
