9.Dear Alcohol,
You've been around forever.I can remember all the pain you've caused for me.
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life?I do.He loves you.Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me.He's addicted to you,to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them.You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street,crashing into two other cars.He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night.
Do you remember the night of my first high school party?You were there.My friends were intrigued by you.They treated you as if they were never going to see you again,drinking all of you that they could.I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely."I'm so embarrassed,"they said a s I held their hair back so that they could vomit (呕吐)."I'm sorry,"they said when I called taxies for them,walking them out and paying the driver in advance."This won't happen again,"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped.Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you.
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons?Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car?He died the next morning too.His sister walked home from her dance lesson,and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio.She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all.She never saw him again.And it's all your fault.
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever.I don't want anything to do with you.Look at all the pain you've caused.Sure,you've made people happy too from time to time.But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable.Stop luring (引诱) in the people I love.Stop hurting me,please.
Sincerely,
Anonymous

17.Most of life is habitual.You do the same things you did yesterday,the day before and every day for the last month.(16)BThe key is controlling them.If you know how to change your habits,then even a small effort can create big changes.Here are some tips to get you started
One Habit For 30Days
You focus on one change for thirty days.(17)GI've used this as the basis for most of my habit changes.It definitely works to sculpt(使成形)the automatic programs that run in the background of your mind.
Replace Lost Needs
If you opened up your computer and started removing hardware,what would happen?Chances are that your computer wouldn't work.(18)F Giving up television might mean you need  to find a new way to relax or get information.
Write it Down
Don't leave commitments(承诺)in your brain.(19)A This does two things.First,it makes it clear what your change means.Second,it keeps you committed since it is easy to dismiss a thought,but harder to dismiss a promise printed in front of you.
Balance Feedback
The difference between long-term change and giving up one day 31is the balance of feedback.If your change creates more pain in your life than joy,it is going to be hard to stick to.(20)E  Find diets,exercise,financial plans and work routines that are fun to follow and support you.

A.Write them on paper.
B.Habits,good or bad,make you who you are.
C.Make a public commitment to everyone you know that you're going to stick with it.
D.Make sure your habit is not always changed.
E.Don't go to the gym if you hate it.
F.Similarly,you can't just pull out habits without replacing the needs they fulfill.
G.After that time it has been sufficiently conditioned to become a habit.

1.The SAT is one of two major tests for the entrance to American colleges and universities.The other test is called the ACT.More than 2million students take the SAT yearly,including about 100,000foreign students.The organization of the SAT will change the entrance test in 2016.The College Board announced that the new SAT will no longer test students on rarely used words.But it will include passages from American historical documents or from writings on freedom and human rights.
The College Board says words on the new test will be related to usage.Students will be asked to tell the meaning of words according to the context of the reading passages.Nigerian student Peace Umoru is in her first year at Howard University.She says the rarely used words are the hardest part for international students.The new test will be easier because of the reform(改革).

Students from other countries,particularly those who did not grow up learning English,may feel it is more difficult.For them,the test is in a foreign language.But the College Board says it has formed a free,online educational service.Khan Academy will provide preparation material linked to the newly designed SAT.
