My grandmother told me not to w 4       about those things because I only did them once a year or once a lifetime. 15      ,I should try to do well those things which I do every day. For example,I need to eat every day,so

I should learn how to c 6       . I need to talk to o 7       every day,so I should learn how to work with d 8       people and know how to speak well.

  It is easier to go downhill than to climb(爬）uphill，so it is easier to f 1       into bad habits(习惯）than into good ones.

Bad habits don’t come s 2       .  They  come little by little(逐渐地）w 3 people do not notice (注意）their danger(危险）. Schoolboys first pick up little b 4       habit in school and on the streets. When they can’t finish their lessons,they copy(抄袭）from their c 5       . If they see bigger boys s 6      ，they also want to learn to smoke. When they get bigger,the habits become so s 7       that they can no longer get rid of(改掉）t 8      .  From  copying,they fall behind,then they learn to steal,and smoking is bad for their b 9       .  At last,they become worse and worse.

He gently shook his head and said，“You don’t say! You don’t say!” I was puzzled(困惑的）and thought, “Perhaps this is not a right thing to talk about. ” So I said to him, “Well，shall we talk about the Great Wall?
