Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed．When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed．Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of．It is therefore so important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits．Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live．Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by bad habits．

       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 so on．

       Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on．These are all easily formed habits．Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided．

       We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others．

2．The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to    ．

       A．bad habits            B．good habits          C．children               D．other persons

3．Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

       B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit．

       C．Because it’s hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits．

You are seeing a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!

Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.

They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!

But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “ blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute （降落傘） failed to open and he was killed.

In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls , too.

1. What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?

A. The percentage of serious accidents is high.

B. Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman.

C. Parachutes must be of good quality.

D. The cliff was too high.

2. Stuntmen are those who __________________.

A. Not only dress up as actors but also as actress .

B. like to lead dangerous lives.

C. often fight each other for their lives.

D. often perform seemingly dangerous actions.

3. Stuntmen earn their living by ___________________.

A. playing their dirty tricks.

B. jumping out of high windows.

C. selling their special skills.

D. jumping from fast moving trains.

4. When a stuntman falls from a high building, _____________________.

A. his safety is generally all right.

B. he will be covered with a mattress.

C. his life is in danger.

D. he needs little protection.

5. Which of the following is the main factor of a successful performance?

  A. Strength         B. Speed           C. Exactness           D. Carefulness

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States．The rest of his family remained in Europe．When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted．Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare（福利）, but out of fear．If his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin．

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice．My grandparents were very upset, but my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war．Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service．All the little girls were delighted．

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train．The band played and the crowd cheered．Although no one noticed, I’m sure my grandmother had tears in her eye for the only son．The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused．Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station．There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out．Someone shouted, “The war is over．” For a moment, nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers．The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home．My mother said it was a great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer．
