Habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of 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.
小題1:From the first paragraph we know that __________.
A．a(chǎn) habit is a terrible thing that we can never change
B．people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habits
C．none of the people who try to break bad habits are successful
D．though it is difficult, we can still do something about our bad habits
小題2:The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that __________.
A．it is not easy to get rid of bad habits
B．there is a long way and a short way
C．something dangerous may happen
D．we must cut it in a short time.
小題3:According to the reading, if you want to get rid of your habits, you have to __________.
A．talk to others when you are in low spiritsB．know why you do what you do
C．finish your homework firstD．spend less time on the Internet
小題4:Which of the following does NOT happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?
A．You are punished later.
B．Making people around you feel unhappy.
C．You feel a little better after shouting at others.
D．You leave your homework at home by accident.
小題5: The main purpose of this passage is to __________.
A．introduce and describeB．complain and disagree
C．explain and adviseD．discuss and argue

小題1:D
小題1:A
小題1:B
小題1:D
小題1:C

小題1:第一段提到“Change is hard work”，但沒說習(xí)慣永遠(yuǎn)改變不了。A不對(duì)；人們花錢和時(shí)間要改變的是these bad habits，而不是所有的習(xí)慣，故B不對(duì)；人們努力改變不好的習(xí)慣，但不是所有的人都沒有成功。C項(xiàng)的none of...太絕對(duì)；故C不對(duì)。故選D。
小題1:第一段畫線句子的意思是“改掉舊習(xí)慣是沒有捷徑可走的�！眘hortcut是“捷徑”的意思。A“消除壞習(xí)慣是不容易的一件事�！�，與劃線句子一致。故選A。
小題1:作者提出了兩點(diǎn)建議，即想一下做某事的后果是什么；想想你失去了什么。A“情緒低落時(shí)告訴他人”；B“知道為什么要做某事”；C“先完成作業(yè)”；D“少花時(shí)間上網(wǎng)”。B項(xiàng)符合題意。故選B。
小題1:根據(jù)第三段“it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy”和“you may be punished by your teacher”可知，A、B可能會(huì)發(fā)生；根據(jù)第二段“It may make you feel a little better for the moment.”可知，C項(xiàng)會(huì)發(fā)生；壞習(xí)慣會(huì)導(dǎo)致不做作業(yè)，而不是把作業(yè)忘在家里。故選D。
小題1:根據(jù)第一段最后一句“there is still some advice...”可知，下文是提建議的。故選C。

I used to travel by air a great deal when I was a boy. My parents used to live in South America and I used to fly there from Europe in the holidays. An airhostess would take charge of me and I never had an unpleasant experience. I am used to traveling by air and only on one occasion have I ever felt frightened. After taking off, we were flying low over the city and slowly gaining height, when the plane suddenly turned round and flew back to the airport. While we were waiting to land, an airhostess told us to keep calm and to get off the plane quietly as soon as it had touched down. Everybody on board was worried and we were curious to find out what had happened. Later we learned that there was a very important person on board. The police had been told that a bomb had been planted on the plane. After we had landed, the plane was searched thoroughly(被徹底搜查). Fortunately, nothing was found and five hours later we were able to take off again.
