Question

【題目】There are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a "habit".【1】How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you ve done it in a certain way for so long? It's not very easy to do. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things.【2】it's a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a boring task.

Let's pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading a book. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it.【3】Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.

Imprint it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.

After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, "Hey, I forgot to..." Keep using the notes if you have to.【4】Some people say it will take over a month to solidify it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine.【5】

A. What is a "habit" anyway?

B. Forming a bad habit is easy.

C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.

D. Is doing things in an old way good?

E. If you don't, you will find a way to do everything but that.

F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.

G. that's something you won't necessarily have to think about before you do it—habit.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】E

【4】F

【5】G

【解析】在我們的日常生活中，有太多的事情已經(jīng)變成了一種“習(xí)慣”。本文在敘述“什么是習(xí)慣”。其實它是一種已經(jīng)成為例行公事或司空見慣的事情。

【1】C

根據(jù)上句：在我們的日常生活中，有太多的事情已經(jīng)變成了一種“習(xí)慣”。可知，C. （刷牙是一種習(xí)慣。）與上文相匹配。

【2】A

根據(jù)下文：這是一種已經(jīng)成為例行公事或司空見慣的事情�？芍�上句應(yīng)該在問 “什么是習(xí)慣”？故答案為A。

【3】E

根據(jù)上句：如果你想把某件事變成你每天都要做的事情，你就必須要去做�？芍�，如果你不這樣做，你會找到一種方法來做所有的事情。故答案為E。

【4】F

根據(jù)下句：有些人說，需要一個多月的時間來鞏固它，讓它成為你不用去想它就能做的事情�？芍�，F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.（重復(fù)一項任務(wù)需要16到21倍的時間來養(yǎng)成一個習(xí)慣。）與下文相匹配。

【5】G

根據(jù)上句：兩到三周會幫助你記住，但是30天或更多的時間會讓它成為你日常生活的一部分。由此推知下文的意思是：這是你在做之前不必考慮的事情——習(xí)慣。故選G。
