Question

“When should I begin to acquire good habits?”a young boy asked his teacher.

“How old are you?” asked the teacher.

“Eight years old, sir.”answered the boy.

“Then you have just lost eight years,” the teacher replied.

There is no doubt that habits are formed at a very early age. When one is young, it is easy to acquire good habits.

Good habits are practices that help us in our daily life. The habit of brushing one’s teeth in the morning, for instance, keeps one’s teeth clean and prevents a bad smell which is unpleasant to others. Bad habits such as sticking one’s tongue out, biting one’s fingernails and picking one’s nose, are undesirable ways of behaving in front of others. If we want people to enjoy being with us, we should try to develop habits that are pleasant.

It is said, “We sow an act; we reap a habit. We sow a habit and we reap a character.” The habits we formed at an early age shape our character. Habits are like tributaries(支流) which flow into a river. The river is made up of all its tributaries; a person’s character is made up of all the habits that he or she has acquired over the years.

Answer 1

The author tells us that habits are formed when we are young and we should try to develop good habits, for they benefit us in our daily life and help us shape our character.

I can’t agree more with the author. Cultivating a good habit can not only shape our character, increase our inner beauty but also influence those people around you. Therefore, I think it is of great significance to form a good habit.

As for me, I benefit a lot from my good habits like getting up early to speak English aloud, reviewing and previewing lessons before going to bed every day. In the past, I didn’t dare to speak English before others because of my poor pronunciation and I also did badly in my English tests. Thanks to my good habits, however, I have been making progress in my English study. Now I am proud of my speaking and writing in English.

Then how can we form a good habit? First of all, you should be determined to fight against your laziness. Once you make up your mind to do something, never give up easily. Then, you have to be confident, believing that you can become a better person. Last but not least, keep urging yourself. It may take a long period for you to form a good habit but remember it is perseverance that makes you successful!

【解析】

試題分析：根據(jù)提示1用約30個詞概括本文的主要內(nèi)容，需要考上能夠讀懂所給的原文，文中的復(fù)雜的句子結(jié)構(gòu)能夠理解，要用最簡短的語言概括短文大意，不能抓住細(xì)節(jié)鋪開來寫，那樣字?jǐn)?shù)就會超過了，只介紹文章形成習(xí)慣的時間以及原因就行。

提示2：用約120個詞談?wù)勀銓�好�?xí)慣養(yǎng)成的看法，并包括以下要點，考生要對形成好習(xí)慣是否重要發(fā)表自己的觀點，要注意主語及動詞時態(tài)。寫作中注意使用連接詞，做到語義通順，符合邏輯關(guān)系。

【亮點說明】短文用了短語，增加了文章的色彩。如：can’t agree more; not only......but also......;還用了一些過渡的銜接詞；如：as for me; first of all; last but not least等；使短文讀起來流暢自然。并且用了it is...... That強調(diào)句式，增加了文章的亮點。

考點：考查議論文。
