Each year there are an increasing number of cars on roads,as millions of new cars are produced.One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars,driving trucks,building roads or filling cars with gas.Americans couldn't live without cars!

Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car.However,some have realized the serious problem caused by cars.The polluted air is harmful and dangerous to health.

One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car.That is what several large car factories are trying to do.But to build the new car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to replace the car engine with something else.Engineers are working on some new cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases people.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars,we'll have to make some changes.Americans,for example,have to cut down the number of their cars.They are encouraged  to travel and go to work by bike.Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.

But this change does not come easily.A large number of workers may find themselves with no jobs if a car factory closes down.And the problem of air would become less important than that of unemployment.

Although ears have brought us a better life,they have also brought us new problems.

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who   36  corn(玉米)all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   37  and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer   38  his seed(做种子的) corn to his neighbors.
"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the   39  with you each year."
"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   40  picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   41  corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.
As a great man says, "We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give." We can't   42  without food, clothes, and many other things.

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.
【小题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 habit is a terrible thing we can never change
D.it’s difficult, but we should do something about bad habits
【小题2】The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that      .[来源:学_科_网]
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
【小题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
【小题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
