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 very 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 them.

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.

1.________ are formed little by little.

A. Good habits

B. Bad habits

C. Both good habits and bad habits

D. Either good habits or bad habits

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?

A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.

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.

D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.

4.According to the passage, early rising ________.

A. has something to do with success

B. is an easily formed habit

C. is such a habit as should have been avoided

When we hear of dangerous diseases, cancer and heart disease are often what first comes to mind. Recently, a virus (病毒) called Ebola has reappeared in Guinea (a country in West Africa), killing 62 people so far. It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever, which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc, Ebola can kill 90% of those infected, especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.
Ebola is named after the Ebola River, where it was first discovered in 1976.There are five different types of the Ebola virus, each named after where they first happened: Sudan, Ivory Coast, Restoon, Bundibugyo, and Zaire.The deadliest of the five, Zaire, was responsible for the 2012 outbreak, and is believed to be attacking Guinea.
Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats (果蝠), which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on (吮吸) their blood.Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids (液体) of the infected animals.Once infected, a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus.
Since we live in an interconnected world, where the situation in one country can affect us all, the influences of Ebola are huge: damaging trade relations, affecting foreign visitors, and weakening entire countries.Already the Guinea virus is spreading fast with a few cases spotted in Conakry — the capital of Guinea, far away from the origin of the virus.It is feared that the disease may have already reached neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, too.
Unfortunately, there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola.Healthcare workers only supply the infected people with water to keep them in good condition.Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients, they are forced to wear strict protective clothes, and in some cases, not even allowed to get close to the affected.The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control.
1.The news of Ebola in Guinea is mentioned to ________.
A. make a brief summary
B. introduce the topic of the text
C. compare Ebola with cancer
D. show the latest study of viruses
2.What can we learn about Ebola?
A. It is a newly discovered virus.
B. It is the most dangerous virus in the world.
C. It was named after where it first happened.
D. It could cause immediate death for anyone infected.
3.What is mainly described in Paragraph 3?
A. What the Ebola virus is.
B. The influences of Ebola.
C. The treatments for Ebola.
D. How the Ebola virus spreads.
4.Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. Ebola is a highly infectious virus.
B. Ebola is now very common in Guinea.
C. Those with a fever must be infected by Ebola.
D. Females are more easily to be infected by Ebola.

“At least you’ll be close to home!”That phrase dominated the weeks before my move to my college.I took comfort in knowing that home was close by if I needed it

The night before the move,I spoke with a sophomore(大学二年级)friend of mine who was moving back the next morning.I asked if he was sad to be leaving home and his response sparked in me an internal debate.“It was nice to be back but honestly。I’ve come to think of the college as my home.”Up until that moment,the move to college seemed like an extended version of summer camp.School wasn’t a home;it was a place for me to explore when I was away from home right?

As I packed my things,I really started thinking about the concept of home,and I couldn’t help but wonder would I ever consider college my own home? The next day,once my bags were unpacked and my parents were gone,I took a moment to look around my dorm.It was absolutely nothing like my room…no bunnies,no blue curtains and no queen—sized bed.Despite the fun I was having and things I was learning in the following Welcome Week,I couldn’t bring myself to call it home.I longed for my bunnies.I even wanted my mom’s calls.“There’s no place like home.”I murmured.

Last night,I went to visit my friends and we spent the next hour talking about that missing feeling we all shared-our families,our friends,our old lives—and soon the sadness turned to fondness.One by one our friends came in to say goodnight and the room was filled with girls,all laughing and sharing our high school experiences.It wasn’t until about l:00 a.m.that I turned to my roommate,unconsciously saying,“It’s getting late…we should probably go home soon.”I was taken aback by my own words.Somehow in the few hours,my dorm room had turned into a home.
