We all have habits that we want to give up. These are habits which are not good for us in some way or another. A habit is an activity that we have got used to. It's not easy to break a bad habit because we have got used to it, and it has become convenient (方便的).

We are so used to our bad habits that most of the time we even don't realize that we have them until someone points them out to us. So the first step that will lead to changing a bad habit is to accept the fact that is not good for you.

Since you know you have developed a bad habit, it's best to find out why you developed it in the first place. Find out the reason behind it, as that will help you in understanding why you're so willing to perform that act. There is nothing to feel scared of. You have to face it and then give it up.

Find out how bad habits have spoiled (損壞，糟蹋) things around you. For example, a bad habit of getting up late can destroy the schedule (時(shí)間表) of your whole day. And, if this is what you do every day, then imagine how many days it has already eaten up. Realize this and make up your mind to give it up.

An alarm (警報(bào)) is something that will prevent you from performing your habit. For example, to avoid getting up late, set an alarm and decide that you need to make a little effort to reach it to turn it off.

Tell your family and friends about your decision so that they can prevent you from performing the bad habit and also remind you of the promise you made to yourself.

Reward yourself every time you stop yourself from performing the bad habit. This will keep you encouraged to break the bad habit and at the same time make you happy.

There are habits that people have carried with them for years and it will surely take some time to give them up. However, breaking a habit is a better choice than letting it grow into an addiction(癮). Try giving up a bad habit, and feel the difference in yourself. You will be proud of yourself and I will certainly congratulate you on it.

任務(wù)型閱讀（共20分 ， 每小題2分）(A) 閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容回答問題。（10分）

In a classroom in any countries ， the teachers teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind---the culture of the country.

In a country such as the United States， people with different history， culture and language join together and the pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information ， instead， they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom..

At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought.

The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

In most Asian countries ， people have the same language ， history and culture. Perhaps for this reason ， the education there pays more attention to group goals than person ideas. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom， the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teachers says ， and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead ， the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in minD.

In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries ， however ， teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.

April Fool’s Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool. However， the April Fool’s Day of 2014 was quite different for my mom and me.

That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game. I had dropped down from a bar (橫木) many times in the past without ever having a problem， but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩夢(mèng)). I broke my arm.

Jimmy’s dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on. When he saw the problem he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to hospital. As that day was April Fool’s Day， Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke. Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy’s mom. When she saw me， she broke down in tears because she felt so bad –she originally thought this was just a big prank (惡作劇).

I guess one could compare this to the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Since I had pulled pranks before， it is no wonder that my mom didn’t believe it. I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day. We both learned a valuable lesson.

1.What happened to the writer on the April Fool’s Day of 2014?

A. He dreamed a terrible dream.

B. He was hurt by Jimmy.

C. He had an accident.

D. He fooled his mom with his friend.

2.Why did Jimmy’s dad phone the writer’s mom?

A. Because he wanted to play a joke on her.

B. Because he wanted her to go to the hospital to pay the money.

C. Because he wanted to see how deeply she loved her son.

D. Because he wanted to inform her of the accident.

3.From the passage we can infer that _________.

A. the writer’s mom didn’t care much about him

B. the writer was a dishonest person

C. the writer won’t pull pranks as before

D. the writer will lose interest in games
