A. How inner beliefs can help
B. Why are habits so important
C. How to develop positive habits
D. Improve your life
E.You can do it
F.Action plan
The single most important factor that contributes to success is what you do every single day.It is as simple as that.Your habits will determine whether you are successful or not.If you have strong and healthy positive habits,it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you are guaranteed to succeed in the long run.
1._________________________________
Because you repeat the same actions and the same behaviors every single day,a single positive action will not change your life,but the same action repeated 1,000 times will have a significant impact on your life.For example,if you go to the gym one time,you won’t see a big difference in your life.However,if you go to the gym 1,000 times over a five year period,you will see a big difference in your body.The same principle applies to finance,health,relationships,work,career,and school.Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great impact on your life in the long run.
2._________________________________
There’s nothing easier than developing positive habits.You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit.If you want to develop the habit of running,run almost every day.If you want to develop the habit of eating healthy,eat healthy every day.If you want to develop the habit of reading,read every day.Habits are created by repetition.The more you do an action,the easier it becomes in the long run.
3.__________________________________
If you want to be successful in changing your habits,you should think about changing your inner beliefs about your habits.For example,your old belief was: “I love cigarette because it makes me feel good and relaxed. I need cigarette to be happy and relaxed. ”If you keep this belief,you won’t be able to keep your resolution to stop smoking for very long.Instead,you should adopt this new belief: “I love yoga because it makes me feel good and relaxed. Cigarette is poisonous and destroys my body.Yoga makes me happy.” You should analyze your beliefs and make sure they won’t stop you from changing your habits.The same is true when you try to form positive habits.If you want to start eating healthy food,here are some positive beliefs you should start thinking about: “Healthy food is very good for my health.It gives me a lot of energy and I feel very good. ”
4.___________________________________
It’s now time for you to develop positive habits in your life and avoid your negative habits.Write down 3 positive habits that you would like to develop and 3 negative habits that you would like to get rid of.For each positive habit,write down exactly what actions you’re going to take every single day in order to develop the new habit.For each negative habit,write down exactly what actions you’re not going to take in the next weeks.Here are some positive habits that will lead to success: exercise,healthy food,reading,saving,studying,healthy relationships,hard work,etc. Here are some negative habits to get rid of: gambling,drug and alcohol abuse,overeating,shyness,etc.
5._____________________________________
Everybody can change.All it takes is courage and commitment.Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits.Take action right now!Don’t be afraid. Yes,you will probably make mistakes along the way.But never forget that success is guaranteed for you if you have positive habits in your life.If you refuse to quit,success will be yours.

The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence-other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived in the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island. A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which was a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top player of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island or Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately$433, 600, 000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.
1.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful
B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive
D. Greedy and aggressive
2.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .
A. soil pollution B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity D. whale hunting
3.Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money
B. It spent too much repairing the island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money
D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
4.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously
B. The phosphate mines were destroyed
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.

Exercise seems to be good for the human brain,with many recent studies suggesting that regular exercise improves memory and thinking skills.But an interesting new study asks whether the apparent cognitive benefits from exercise are real or just a placebo effect — that is,if we think we will be “smarter” after exercise,do our brains respond accordingly?The answer has significant implications for any of us hoping to use exercise to keep our minds sharp throughout our lives.
While many studies suggest that exercise may have cognitive benefits,recently some scientists have begun to question whether the apparently beneficial effects of exercise on thinking might be a placebo effect.So researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee and the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign decided to focus on expectations,on what people anticipate that exercise will do for thinking.If people’s expectations jibe (吻合) closely with the actual benefits,then at least some of those improvements are probably a result of the placebo effect and not of exercise.
For the new study,which was published last month in PLOS One,the researchers recruited 171 people through an online survey system,they asked half of these volunteers to estimate by how much a stretching and toning regimens (拉伸运动) performed three times a week might improve various measures of thinking.The other volunteers were asked the same questions,but about a regular walking program.
In actual experiments,stretching and toning program generally have little if any impact on people’s cognitive skills.Walking,on the other hand,seems to substantially improve thinking ability.
But the survey respondents believed the opposite,estimating that the stretching and toning program would be more beneficial for the mind than walking.The estimates of benefits from walking were lower.
These data,while they do not involve any actual exercise,are good news for people who do exercise.“The results from our study suggest that the benefits of aerobic exercise are not a placebo effect,” said Cary Stothart,a graduate student in cognitive psychology at Florida State University,who led the study.
If expectations had been driving the improvements in cognition seen in studies after exercise,Mr.Stothart said,then people should have expected walking to be more beneficial for thinking than stretching.They didn’t,implying that the changes in the brain and thinking after exercise are physiologically genuine.
The findings are strong enough to suggest that exercise really does change the brain and may,in the process,improve thinking,Mr.Stothart said. That conclusion should encourage scientists to look even more closely into how,at a molecular level,exercise remodels the human brain,he said. It also should encourage the rest of us to move,since the benefits are,it seems,not imaginary,even if they are in our head.
1.Which of the following about the placebo effect is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It occurs during exercise.
B. It has cognitive benefits.
C. It is just a mental reaction.
D. It is a physiological response.
2.Why did the researchers at the two universities conduct the research?
A. To discover the placebo effect in the exercise.
B. To prove the previous studies have a big drawback.
C. To test whether exercise can really improve cognition.
D. To encourage more scientists to get involved in the research.
3.What can we know about the research Cary Stothart and his team carried out?
A. They employed 171 people to take part in the actual exercise.
B. The result of the research removed the recent doubt of some scientists.
C. The participants thought walking had a greater impact on thinking ability.
D. Their conclusion drives scientists to do research on the placebo effect.
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Is it necessary for us to take exercise?
B. How should people exercise properly?
C. What makes us smarter during exercise?
D. Does exercise really make us smarter?

Money is the root of all evil and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California. Berkeley, US,announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do unethical (不道德的)things, such as lie or cheat,than poorer people.
The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS,《美国国家科学院院刊》).
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest (不豪华的)cars.
In another experiment,a group of college students was asked if they would do unethical things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists,rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people’s feelings.
Finally,it simply makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more,and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest,’’said Paul Piif, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don’t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy(不能信赖的)or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts and values in different ways.
1.By saying “money is the root of all evil”,the author wants to___________.
A. draw readers’ attention to the research
B. link wealth with bad behavior
C. show how the saying proves the findings
D. defend rich people who do unethical things
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the experiments the scientists did,according to the scientist quoted?
A. Most wealthy people are not trustworthy.
B. The findings were not persuasive enough and the scientists will do further experiments.
C. Drivers of more expensive cars are more likely to break traffic rules.
D. Students from poorer families are not as honest as students from richer families.
3.Why did the scientists do the experiments?
A. To show how social status affects people's ethics.
B. To show people’s instincts and values in different ways.
C. To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.
D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.
4.What does the article really want to show us?
A. Money is the root of all evil.
B. The rich are more likely to act badly.
C. The saying is reasonable.
D. All rich people are untrustworthy.
