Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is impelled(推进，敦促)  by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly; thus 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 (形成) of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits 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 thoroughness(周详).

    Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons form habits which ought to have been avoided.

    We ought to keep from all these old habits, and try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.

Habits, whether good or bad, are formed_______, _______ everyone knows.

  A. day by day; and                 B .gradually;  as 

  C. gradually; that                  D. century after century; as

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. It is because we are forced to do them again and again.

  D. It is because it’s hard and even not possible to smooth them away

The bad habits formed by __________

  A. children sometimes stay in all their lives

  B. older people sometimes can kill them

  C. persons sometimes can remain with them

  D. younger people sometimes can break them

Hey there,

So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents’ money, and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?

Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun — after you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.

Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.

* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the once that is the most competitive（有竞争力的）or has the best-equipped rooms.

* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com.  you’ll find hundreds of actual college application（申请）and links to many more.

* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admission（录取）course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can do better, find the right course for better scores.

*Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.

Taking Care

From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother was a nurse and I have always  36  her and the way she took care of everyone. I wanted to be just like her.

So, here I am, a   37  for the last seven years. I love my work. Now, my father is quite   38  . He is 71 and has heart failure, and a lot of other medical  39  . Up until April of this year, he was able to live alone, drive, and   40  all of his own needs. His health has broken sown swiftly. I’m the only girl out of the five children. Being the only girl and a nurse  41  me at the top of the caregiver list. Taking care of a sick parent is very  42  , not at all like taking care of other patients. I have to   43  my own family to be here with Dad. I know this is   44  I need to be but it is still hard. I   45  abut 12-15 hours day taking care of him. I want to spend all of the time that I can with him because I know that our   46  left together is short.

At the same time, I find myself  47  that my brothers don’t help more. Sometimes, it is days between their   48  . they all have families of their own and busy lives but…so do I. My eldest brother does help some. He   49  at night. He comes in at 8 or 9pm and lets me go home. But he is up and   50  to hit the road at about 6 am. My   51  brothers pop in for 10-15 minute visits. It is   52  annoying. They say they  53  stand “to see Daddy this way” which I understand. It hurts me to see him so sick  54  weak, too. But …he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us our whole lives. I just  55  like we should all do our part to take care of him now.

Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air for their children, but experts now have identified a related threat to children's health that isn't as easy to get rid of: third-hand smoke。

That's the term being   1   to describe the invisible yet poisonous mixture of gases and particles(颗粒) clinging(依附) to smokers' hair and   2  , not to mention cushions and carpeting, that stays long after second-hand smoke has cleared from a room. The remaining   3  heavy metals, carcinogens(致癌物) and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and take in,   4  if they're crawling or playing on the floor。

Doctors from MassGeneral Hospital for Children in Boston coined the term "third-hand smoke" to   5  these chemicals in a new study that   6  on the risks they pose to infants and children. The study was published in the  7  issue of the journal Pediatrics。

"Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is bad,  8  they don't know about this," said Dr. Jonathan P. Winickoff, the lead author of the study and an assistant professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School。

"When their kids are   9  the house, they might smoke. Or they smoke in the car. Or they strap(用带子捆扎) the kid in the car seat in the back and crack the window and   10  , and they think it's okay because the second-hand smoke isn't getting to their  11  . We needed a term to describe these tobacco toxins that aren't  12  ."

The study reported on  13  toward smoking in 1,500 households across the United States. It found that the vast majority of both smokers and nonsmokers were   14  that second-hand smoke is harmful to children. Some 95 percent of nonsmokers and 84 percent of smokers  15  with the statement that "inhaling smoke from a parent's cigarette can   16  the health of infants and children"。

But   17  fewer of those surveyed were aware of the  18  of third-hand smoke. Since the term is so new, the researchers asked people if they agreed with the statement that "breathing air in a room   19  where people smoked yesterday can harm the health of infants and children"。

Only 65 percent of nonsmokers and 43 percent of smokers agreed with that  20  , which researchers interpreted as acknowledgement of the risks of third-hand smoke。
