Most of us have one or a few bad habits that we"d like to get out of. But how do you do it? I have a few
suggestions that have helped me and people around me. Here are some tips that can help you to finally get out
of that bad habit.
2._____ If you tell people around you that you will stop smoking or start to exercise three times a week,
then they will check up on you. And you will feel you have to keep your promise because it is let out into the
world.
Avoid temptations (诱惑). 3._____ Places where you are likely to spend too much money. Things in your
cupboard that will not help you to get healthier and you should not have at home at all. And people that drag
(拉) you down and back into your old ways.
4._____ It may seem like a good idea to change your life all at once. In our daily life, stress and lack (缺
乏) of energy usually lead to failure. Don"t try to be Superman or Wonder Woman. Take it easy and break
one habit at a time.
5._____ You will probably not succeed the first time you do it. You fail and you make mistakes when you
make changes and try new things. That"s just life and nothing to feel bad about. What you should do next is
try again.
B. Simple tips for getting out of bad habits.
C. See your future in your mind.
D. If at first you don"t succeed, please try again.
E. Tell your friends and family.
F. The reason why we need to make good habits.
G. Don"t break more than one habit at a time.

举一反三
are happier and healthier; they have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants
(顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the
executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man"s rise, it is harmful to a woman"s. Handsome male
executives (主管) were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought
to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than
unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive
women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female
executives.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine
(女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive
woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine
position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on
political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men
and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates
for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had
been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
B. makes women look more honest and capable
C. is of great importance to women
D. often enables women to succeed quickly
B. affects men and women alike
C. has as little effect on men as on women
D. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
B. old-fashioned
C. prejudiced
D. serious
B. give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
C. demand equal rights for women
D. emphasize the importance of appearance
important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren"t
just important to us; they make the world what it is. Scientists say that gravitational (重力的) force makes
the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families,
friends, even complete strangers. Even of you can"t see it, you know it"s there.
Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether
after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain-it is better to give than to receive.
Generosity is found everywhere and whether it"s a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all,
being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make
a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.
Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance.
Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to
discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make
a mistake, that"s one less to make the next time.
There is an infinite (无穷的) number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance,
we just don"t think that our life or the world would be the way it is.
B. gravitational force.
C. value
D. experience
B. you should be qualified
C. you should give all you have
D. you will find it good to give
B. People don"t understand the life they are experiencing at all
C. We can find love in complete strangers sometimes
D. What the world is like depends on gravity and love.
B. Three Values
C. Endless Love
D. Life Full of Hope
B. positive
C. indifferent
D. worried
lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and
psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other
people say. And don"t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare for yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make
a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. I think about what you would
like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people,
Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even
entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the
cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the
best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know about you.
B. recommend ways of dealing with shyness

they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they
rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on
the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not
particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked
about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another
city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond
the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came
into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to
join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were
smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was
surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me.
They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a
warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed
up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.
B. pleasant
C. exciting
D. dull
B. The mountains along the way.
C. The crowds of people in the streets.
D. The simple lunch served on the train.
B. The mountains along the way.
C. The crowds of people in the streets.
D. The simple lunch served on the train.
B. The Causeway.
C. Butterworth.
D. Singapore.
B. Pleasure of living in the country.
C. Reading gives people delight.
D. Smiles brighten people up.
Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes (戏谑的引语) are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human
nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don"t want
to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human
nature went like this:"To err is human, to forgive, divine (神圣的)." This saying mirrors a deal people should
be forgiving of others" mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite-find someone else to pass the blame on to.
However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity.
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that
will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Commonsense tells you that you take an
umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine.
Common sense does not seem to be common for large organizations, because there are so many things going
on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, "the right hand does
not know what the left hand is doing."
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art?
One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people. get the idea that it"s
okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary (直接推论) to that: if good excuse is "good" even
if it isn"t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
B. To achieve one"s ideal.
C. To make fun of others"mistakes.
D. To criticize others for one"s own error.
B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.
C. Making as few mistakes as possible.
D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.
B. A student goes out with an umbrella in stormy weather.
C. A company"s next move follows a good plan.
D. A lawyer acts on fine judgments.
B. Inventing a good excuse needs creative ideas.
C. A good excuse is as rewarding as honesty.
D. Bitter truth is better than a good excuse.
B. To Blame or to Forgive
C. A Mark of Maturity
D. Truth or Excuse
