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.
小題1: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(chǎn) habit is a terrible thing we can never change
D．it’s difficult, but we should do something about bad habits
小題2:The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that      .
A．it is not easy to give up bad habitsB．there is a long way and a short way
C．something dangerous may happen D．we must cut bad habits in a short time
小題3: According to the passage, if you want to drop 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:. The main purpose of this passage is to ask us       .
A．not to shout at people when we are sadB．not to spend much time on the Internet
C．to give up our bad habitsD．to decide what to choose

Just like any relationship, best friendships depend on trust, promise, respect and interests. When any of these elements(要素) is missing, the friendship will be hard to go on. If the trust is totally broken, you may not be able to forgive him/her. Sometimes a friendship ends because either you or your friend gets tired of putting the heart into it. This can happen when one of you finds a new friend or even a new hobby that takes up much time. Or, perhaps you find the relationship is always going in an unhealthy way and you want some distance. Other times, you simply change and want to leave each other. Sure, it seems sad at the time, but it’s completely normal. Not all friendships are meant to last forever. So, what should you do if something like this happens to you? Read on for some friendly advice.
Whatever the reason you’re breaking up with your best friend, always remember that he/she was once super important to you. Take the time to sit down privately and tell him/her what’s going on and why. Don’t send him/her an unpleasant e-mail or just start ignoring(不理睬) him/her. In fact, maybe he/she has known there’s a problem and would be willing to have a heart-to-heart chat. If you’re not sure about wanting an end forever, you could suggest you two take a break from each other. If, after a while, you realize why you became the best friends in the beginning, you can try getting back to your former behaviors. Whatever you do, be honest about your feelings while having respect for his/hers. And if you both agree the BFF thing is over, make sure not to be enemies.
小題1:What is NOT the usual cause of ending a friendship?
A．Getting tired of putting your heart into each other.
B．Finding a new hobby that takes up much time.
C．Realizing the relationship going in an unhealthy way.
D．Living too far away from each other.
小題2:The underlined letters BFF probably means________.
A．永遠的朋友B．永久的隔閡
C．終結的友誼D．暫時的誤解
小題3:What can be the best title for this passage?
A．Four basic elements of friendship.
B．Friendly advice on reading.
C．What to do with friendship in trouble?
D．When to be friends or enemies?
小題4:What should you do when breaking up with your best friends?
1. Remember his or her once being important to you.  
2. Try to have a heart-to-heart chat with him or her.
3. Be honest and respectful to each other.
4. Send an unpleasant e-mail and ignore him or her.
