Question

【题目】There are so many things we do in our daily lives that have become a "habit".【1】How you answer the phone is a habit. The way you sit in the car when you drive is a habit. Have you ever tried to change the way you do something, after you ve done it in a certain way for so long? It's not very easy to do. The minute your mind drifts to something else, you go right back to the old way of doing things.【2】it's a way of doing things that has become routine or commonplace. To change an existing habit or form a new one can be a boring task.

Let's pick something fairly easy to start with, like spending 15 minutes in the morning reading a book. If you want to turn something into a habit that you do every day, you have to WANT to do it.【3】Make a firm decision to do this on a daily basis.

Imprint it in your mind. Write several notes to yourself and put them in places where you will see them. By the alarm clock, on the bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator door, in your briefcase, and under your car keys are good places to start.

After the newness wears off, then you will have to remind yourself, "Hey, I forgot to..." Keep using the notes if you have to.【4】Some people say it will take over a month to solidify it and make it something you will do without having to think about it. I tend to agree with the last statement. Two to three weeks will help you to remember, but thirty days or more will make it a part of your everyday routine.【5】

A. What is a "habit" anyway?

B. Forming a bad habit is easy.

C. Brushing your teeth is a habit.

D. Is doing things in an old way good?

E. If you don't, you will find a way to do everything but that.

F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.

G. that's something you won't necessarily have to think about before you do it—habit.

根据上句：在我们的日常生活中，有太多的事情已经变成了一种“习惯”。可知，C. （刷牙是一种习惯。）与上文相匹配。

【2】A

根据下文：这是一种已经成为例行公事或司空见惯的事情。可知上句应该在问 “什么是习惯”？故答案为A。

【3】E

【4】F

根据下句：有些人说，需要一个多月的时间来巩固它，让它成为你不用去想它就能做的事情。可知，F. It takes 16 to 21 times of repeating a task to make it a habit.（重复一项任务需要16到21倍的时间来养成一个习惯。）与下文相匹配。

【5】G

根据上句：两到三周会帮助你记住，但是30天或更多的时间会让它成为你日常生活的一部分。由此推知下文的意思是：这是你在做之前不必考虑的事情——习惯。故选G。
