1、课文语法训练 HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLEAs teenagers grow up, they become _1_(independent) and start making their own decisions. However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if _2_(leave) unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become a
2、dults. For example, some of them may become _3_(involve) in tobacco or alcohol abuse, which can lead to physical and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating a teenagers life _4_(be) essential. They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate cha
3、nges.To change bad habits is never easy, even _5_ many attempts. There is a famous saying _6_(base) on the philosophy of Aristotle: We are _7_ we repeatedly do. In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again
4、. Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much _8_(hard) to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work. According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the habit cycle, _9_ works like this: Firstly, there is a cue, an action, event, o
5、r situation that acts _10_ a signal to do something. Secondly, there is a routine, the regular action you take _11_ response to the cue. Thirdly, there is the reward, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.For example, when we feel unhappy, we eat lots of unhealthy snacks, which makes us
6、feel happy. The reward makes us much _12_(likely) to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks _13_(form). To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles _14_ then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the information
7、 from our habit cycles _15_ our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again, rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead, which will make us feel _16_(relax). Aside from ch
8、anging bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an escalator, our normal routine is to ride it, _17_ we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead. Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and _18_ we
9、 are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way _19_(change) is not suddenly, but over a period of time. _20_ the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, A journey of a thousand miles begins _21_ a single step. One step seems small, but it is es
10、sential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and _22_(repeated) take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits. For young people, there is plenty of time _23_(change) bad habits. _24_, there is no magic pill or delete button that will help you; you h
11、ave to think about your bad habits and decide _25_ some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!Write a letter to the editor about your lifestyleDear Editor, After I attended your summer camp about health and lifestyle choices, I realised I hardly ever felt
12、well, _1_ physically or mentally. I often felt sleepy and dizzy, and lacked passion. Most worrying, _2_, I got the flu easily and experienced many toothaches, too. _3_ the end of the camp I heard, Change the world by changing yourself. This stimulated my motivation. A dentist once examined me and to
13、ld me that too much sugar in my meals _4_(damage) my teeth and health. I made up my mind to change two things in my life: to eat nothing with sugar and to exercise _5_(regular). After that I stopped buying all the sweets, biscuits, and sugary drinks that I used to have every day. Whenever I went out
14、 with friends, I brought snacks from home, things that didnt have any _6_(add) sugar: fruit, nuts, dried meat, etc. My exercise was very simple: I went outside every day _7_ at least 30 minutes and did something active. Sometimes I played table tennis or badminton with my cousins. Other times I jump
15、ed on my skateboard and _8_(ride) around my neighbourhood, or just took a long walk. The results have been fantastic. I feel _9_(dynamic) and stronger than ever, in both body and mind. I sleep _10_(sound) at night now. I no longer suffer from a flu virus or toothaches either. Best of all, in my opin
16、ion, is _11_ I feel about myself. I feel like Im _12_ control of my own life. To make choices about myself is _13_ my own power. I CAN change myself. I just need to try. Yours truly, Wang LuDear Editor, As I took part in the summer camp about personal life choices, I started to analyse my choices, e
17、specially what I did _1_(relax) and how it was affecting my whole life. After starting high school, I felt _2_(stress) out and always relaxed by playing computer games. I got _3_ absorbed that I played the games day and night. Playing was fun, but I felt even more _4_(wear) out afterwards! So after
18、the camp, I realised that it was very, very important _5_(adjust) my lifestyle. I decided to take control _6_ my life and find other ways to relax. It was a big struggle not to join my friends in playing online games as Im mad _7_ them. However, I realised that to succeed in _8_(quit), I had to repl
19、ace it with something else. So I thought about _9_ to try. Rock climbing, bowling, watching comedies, and playing basketball were the things I thought of doing instead.Now my dad and I go rock climbing together _10_(month)! It _11_(enhance) the quality of my life, improving my health and increasing
20、my happiness. I get _12_(refresh) through climbing, spend more time with my dad, and get to meet new friends.After six months of trying out new ways of _13_(relax), I feel much _14_(energetic). I feel that I can change myself for the better. And if thats true for me, then it might _15_(true) be possible to change the world for the better. As Gandhi said, Be the change you want to see in the world. Sincerely, George Fielding 4 / 4
