【题目】When he was a little child, Andrew had a serious bad habit of sucking（吮吸） his fingers all day long, especially when he had nothing interesting to do： when he was sleeping, when watching TV, when sitting on the sofa and so on. At the beginning, his parents didn’t think it was a bad habit.

Therefore, as time goes by, the boy couldn’t give up his habit. Now, in his twenties, Andrew seems to have developed the bad habit into another one： he always bites his nails(指甲). He cannot stop biting his nails all the time. There’re moments when he even doesn’t know that he is doing it. He realized it was a problem and this worried him a lot. Some of his friends told him about this bad habit, and he stops for a while. But then, if he isn’t busy doing something, he starts biting his nails again!

In fact, there’re a lot of bacteria(细菌) in your nails and they can cause some disease. Also, the nails will become ugly and hard to recover. The worst thing is that this bad habit will bring the mental illness（心理疾病）. If people cannot correct it in time, it can affect man’s mental health.

In short, bad habits are very worrying, especially when the person with the habit is in public and cannot stop himself or herself doing it. Still, there must be ways to give up these bad habits and these people should try their best to stop doing them.

【题目】Why do people smoke? One reason is that people become addicted(成瘾) to cigarettes. The addictive substance(物质）in cigarettes is nicotine(尼古丁). When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood stream and makes people feel comfortable. A smoker's body gets used to the nicotine, and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of the addiction to nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too difficult to do so .

Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social rituals (礼仪), for example, sending the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives them something to do with their hands. Reaching for a cigarette, lighting it and flicking (弹掉) the ashes are special comfort in a situation where they feel nervous.

Many people also like the taste of tar (焦油) in cigarettes. However, it is the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking completely, cigarette manufacturers (生产商) have tried to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people in western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they found it hard to stop smoking and wanted to reduce the danger to their health.
