24、If you know something is bad for you, why can't you just stop? About 70% of smokers say they would like to stop. Drug and alcohol abusers (酗酒者) struggle to give up the bad habits that hurt their bodies and destroy families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy weight that we could lose if only we would eat right and exercise more. So why don't we do it？

Some scientists have been searching for answers. They've studied what happens in our brains as habits form.They've found answers to why bad habits, once formed, are so difficult to kick. And they're developing ways to help us make the changes we'd like to make.

Habits are a normal part of life，and are often helpful."We wake up every morning，shower，comb our hair or brush our teeth without being aware of it， "Volkow says. We can drive along familiar routes without really thinking about the directions."When behaviors become automatic(不加思索的)，it gives us an advantage，because the brain does not have to perform the action on purpose."Volkow says.This frees up our brains to focus on different things.

One way to kick bad habits is to focus on your unhealthy habits. Then try your best to stop them.For example, habits can be linked in our minds to certain places and activities.You could develop a plan, say, to avoid walking down the hall where there's a candy machine. Try to avoid going places where you've usually smoked.Stay away from friends and situations linked to problem drinking or drug use.

Another helpful way is to replace unhealthy habits with new, healthy ones. "It doesn't work for everyone, "Volkow says. "But certain groups of patients who have a history of taking a drug can do something else like running and it helps them stay away from drugs."

【1】In the first paragraph, the writer mainly wants to tell us .

A. we should stop something bad for us

B. most smokers would like to stop smoking

C. bad habits are really difficult to give up

D. eating right and exercise more can lose weight

【2】Scientists studied what happened in our brains as habits form in order to .

A. find answers to solve the problem

B. find ways to form good habits

C. kick their own bad habits

D. help us see how bad habits form

【3】Why are habits often of great help to us?

A. because they make our life normal.

B. because they made us do something better.

C. because they made us think more about life.

D. because they make our brain focus on other things.

【4】If you want to kick bad habits you'd better .

A. focus on them on purpose   B. go to the places linked with them

C. do something linked with them   D. ask your friends for help

【5】What is the main idea of the passage？

A. Breaking bad habits.

25、   I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, " Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 镇定的), and that will win the race. Don't you think there's something to learn from the tortoise?"

Sonny opened his eyes wide, "Do you mean next time when I'm entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?"

I was shocked, "But the tortoise didn't wish that the hare would fall asleep!"

"He must have wished that," Sonny said, "Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did."

"He didn't have such a wish," I insisted. "He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily."

Sonny thought a while. "That's a lie," he said. "He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn't happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he'd never have won the race. That's for sure."

I gave up. Today's children are not like what we used to be. They're just hopeless.

“What’s happening?” he said, and he kicked Martha and whipped Tom across his face. “Work faster, you animal!” But when he left, Tom quickly gave her some more of his cotton. Suddenly, the new woman put much cotton in Tom’s sack.

“Tom is going to make much trouble. He kept putting cotton into Marth’s sack,” Sambo told Legree. “Then we’ll have to teach him a lesson,” said Legree.

Slowly the tired slaves came into the room for the weighing of the sacks. First Legree weighed Tom’s sack, and it was enough. Martha’s sack was next. The weight was enough, but Legree shouted at her.

“Come here,” said Legree, “l want to give you a better job than picking cotton, and you can start tonight: take this woman and whip her-you know how.”

“I’m sorry, Master,” said Tom. “ I can’t do it.”

Legree whipped Tom across his face and then hit him with his fists many times. “There!” he said. “Now will you tell me you can’t do it?”

“Yes, Master,” said Tom, with blood running down his face. “I will work night and day, but I will never whip another person.”

“I bought you, and you’re mine, body and soul”, Legree said, kicking Tom. “My soul isn’t yours, Master! You can’t buy it!”

“We’ll see, “said Legree, “Sambo, Quimbo, give this dog a lesson.”
