I   47   picked one of the magazines on the end table beside me and couldn't help  wishing my  48   were there inside.

Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore so important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by bad habits.

There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.

Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.

We should keep away from all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.

1.        are formed little by little.

A．Only good habits	B．Only bad habits
C．Both good habits and bad habits	D．Either good habits or bad habits

2.The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to         .

A．bad habits

B．good habits

C．children

D．other persons

3.Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?

A．Because habits are of great help to every one of us.

B．Because a man can never get rid of a habit.

A．has something to do with success	B．is an easily formed habit

（2010??冀州二模）

“A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand，”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs，”said another. Many people have heard stories like this.  But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.

Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born，has the right to achieve their potential，regardless of their parents’ wealth and class.  And we recognize that, as a nation，it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.

     Far too many children are behaving badly at school，even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough，but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table，and unable to use the lavatory properly.  

We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep，has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.         

Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.

In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?

A. The school violence.

B. The pressure of students’ learning.

C. The right to achieve students potential.

D. the responsibilities of the students.

The writer’s attitude to the behaviors of parents may be that of ________.

A. dissatisfied          B. unconcern     C. understanding    D. tolerance

The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.

A. parents and children live in their separate rooms

B. parents care little about children’s life at home

C. children don’t live with their parents in the same room

D. at home children live a different life from that of parents

What might be most suitable title for the passage?

Children’s behavior at school is worrying people

Parents expect schools to correct their children’s bad habits

There is no point in parents’ teaching children at home

Don’t blame teachers when it’s parents who are failing
