　　Computers can help you do your homework in all kinds of ways. They can even make it easy to write the following sentence one hundred times:“I will not be late again.”All you have to do is to write a simple problem, run it, and print out the results.

　　Of course, there are better ways to use a computer to help do your homework. The lesson can be in the form of a new learning experience, a drill, or a review. And you can do the lessons as many times as you want—a computer never gets bored.

　　All kinds of computer programs are being used as learning tools. For example, people are learning to type rapidly with typing programs. You can immediately tell how well you are doing and even have fun while practising.

　　The most popular use of a computer to help with homework is with a word processing program. A word processor lets you type on a keyboard(键盘) and see the words on a screen in front of you. You never have to retype a whole page to correct a few mistakes. A word processor allows you to make changes and corrections quickly and easily. It allows you to arrange sentences, paragraphs, and even pages of material. It lets you think about what you are writing without worrying too much about keeping them neat and tidy. Then when you want what you have written, all you need to do is to push a key and your poem, story, or essay is printed. In fact, the words you are reading now were first written on a word processor.

     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(避免).

　　We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

A week ago, I had the great pleasure of reading an e-book, When Money Talks, Listen! By Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read.

   When I first received a copy, I thought it was a Get Rich Quick type of publication. Nothing is wrong with Get Rich Quick, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I think that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse.

   When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry far more important than money.

Since I love this e-book so much, why wait a week to write the review? Simple. I wanted to see if the effect it had on me was a keeper. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install(安装) a stoplight to stop some while others made their way into the picture, then I yielded(让路) them as a few ones arrived in town. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is. 

   It has been a week and the effect is the same. I truly do look at money differently and have even done a few things differently this week. This is an e-book you’ll want to read, I promise. I often recommend books to my daughter, and this is one that I didn’t just “suggest”---I left it open at the bottom of the computer and told each one, “Read it, you’ll love it.”

   I would never point someone in a direction I wouldn’t go myself. I urge you to visit the author’s website, Myster Money, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it.
