Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推進(jìn)，敦促)  by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them..
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness(周詳).
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.
We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.
小題1:Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.
A．day by day; and
B．gradually; as
C．gradually; that
D．century after century; as
小題2:Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C．It is because we are forced to do them again and again.
D．It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away
小題3:The bad habits formed by __________
A．children sometimes stay in all their lives
B．older people sometimes can kill them
C．persons sometimes can remain with them
D．younger people sometimes can break them

As I had my first child, I promised myself never to be a pushy parent. I was going to be a very 36 and understanding mother.
Five years later my little boy was about to 37 for his yellow belt in karate(空手道). As a five-year-old child, he wasn’t taking it  38  , because it was Mom trying to help him. I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like that. I was trying to   39  him his back-flip（背摔）. He continued to play and I continued to   40 . Finally I had made him feel like he couldn’t  41 anything, just as I promised myself I wouldn’t do.
Still mad and stubborn I couldn’t  42 . I had to teach him his flip. He was doing fine with it by the time we had to leave to go to karate. While taking the test, he did  43 . His instructor would ask him to do something, and it became  44 for him. He never asked him to do the back-flip. He had passed his yellow belt test.
We got in the car to  45 when he looked at me and said ”Mom, why did you make me do that back-flip so many times,  46  it wasn’t even on the test.” The words wouldn’t have  47 anything to anyone else, but it was a slap in my face. That night while  48 in bed, I told him I loved him.
He was  49 and didn’t say anything, just giggled. I said “I really do love you baby.” I was still feeling  50 , and also wondering if he had  51 me. Finally he replied in the  52 voice, “I know you do, but I love you more.”
He had forgiven me and I had decided that his feeling were more  53 than any test he would  54 take. I made a new  55 to be better mother and to accept that he was only a child.

Allan goes everywhere with Birgitta Anderson, a 54-year-old secretary. He moves around her office at work and goes shopping with her. ‘Most people don't seem to mind Allan,’ says Birgitta, who thinks he is wonderful. 'He's my fourth child,' she says. She may think of him and treat him that way, buying his food, paying his health bills and his taxes, but in fact Allan is a dog. Birgitta and Allan live in Sweden, a country where everyone is expected to lead an orderly life according to rules laid down by the government, which also provides （提供）a high level of care for its people. This level of care costs money. People in Sweden pay taxes on everything, so aren't surprised to find that owning a dog means yet more taxes. Some people are paying as much as 500 Swedish kronor in taxes a year for the right to keep their dog, money that is spent by the government on dog hospitals and sometimes medical treatment for a dog that falls ill. However, most such treatment is expensive, so owners often decide to pay health and even life insurance （保險(xiǎn)）for their dog. In Sweden dog owners must pay for any damage （損壞）their dog does. A Swedish Kennel Club official explains what this means: if your dog runs out on the road and gets hit by a passing car you, as the owner, have to pay for any damage done to the car, even if your dog has been killed in the accident.
小題1: Birgitta pays taxes for Allan because         .
A．he is her dogB．he is her childC．he follows her everywhereD．he often falls ill
小題2:The money paid as dog taxes is used to           .
A．keep a high level of care for the peopleB．pay for damage done by dogs
C．provide medical care for dogsD．buy insurance for dog owners
小題3: If a dog causes a car accident and gets killed, who should pay for the damage done to the car?
A．The owner of the car.B．The owner of the dog.
C．The insurance company（公司）.D．The government.
小題4:From the text it can be inferred that in Sweden          .
A．dogs are welcome in public placesB．keeping dogs means asking for trouble
