     Habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without
thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying
to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it.
However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
     First, look at why you do it. In other words, what's the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is
shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a
little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could
be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
     Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is
a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad
habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the
chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep
your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what
you think is more important.

A. a habit is a terrible thing that we can never change
B. people take countless hours and dollars to get rid of habits

       The crow is an ordinary bird. It is about twenty inches (英寸) long and black all over.
       Crows are dirty birds because they live on old bad food. Crows eat a lot of waste food. In this way
they are more useful to us than other birds. They clean up the dirty things in our streets. Crows are always hungry. They look for food all day long, and in the evening you can see them in large numbers flying back
to their nest in the trees. They sleep there at night.
