That first night he was filled with fear, his mind full of monsters. Therefore, he went over to his wardrobe to get a torch. But when he opened the wardrobe door, he saw a monster, face to face, and he let out the loudest scream in the world.

The monster took a step backwards, grabbed his colourful hair, stared at the boy with his single red eye, and …started crying The monster cried for so long that the boy’s shock and fear disappeared. He calmed the monster as much as he could, and started talking to him, asking him why he was crying, and what he was doing there.

The monster told him he lived in the wardrobe, but almost never went out, because he was afraid of the boy. When the boy asked him why, the monster told him the boy’s face seemed to him the most horrible thing he’d ever seen with eyes, ears and a nose. The boy felt the similar way about the monster with a huge head full of mouths and hair.

The two of them talked so much that they became quite friendly , and they came to know that both of them had been afraid of the thing :the unknown .

I don’t believe it! It’s 11p.m. and I’m still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine !I’ve had two weeks to write it and my teacher wants it tomorrow . She’s always c1 that I leave things to the last minute. Maybe she’s right. A month ago, I made up my mind to be more efficient this year and not to leave thing to the last minute. But I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now. I’ve started going to the gym. I’ve taken up karate lessons and I’ve changed my diet. I’ve even been going to bed earlier. But I’m not feeling any fitter. I felt just a little u2. I miss my bad habits. Why is leading a better life so hard?

I’ve just read an article on a website and I’ve found out that it isn’t my fault! In fact, it isn’t anyone’s fault! It’s our brains. They’re programmed, therefore, it is difficult to break bad habits. There’s nothing we can do . Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about o3and another when we think about other people. However, when we think about the ‘future us’, we use the part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people. In other words, the brain sees the ‘future you’ as a different person to your ‘present you ’. And that’s why we don’t always find it easy to make sensible d4 in the future when we face difficulties.

But that’s not all. Scientists have also found out that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit. For example , if I want to keep fit, it’s going to take me ten weeks to go to the gym and then it will become an automatic part of my life. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and a5new ways of behavior as a part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes much easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so it’s easy to give up on (打消)your good plan s6

So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people but our brains won’t let us . or is this just an e7? Look! I’ve finished my article on time. Anything is possible!
