if you are falling, do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up? our teacher helped us to get the answer.one day, mr. morrie came into the classroom and said he had a game for us to try. he grouped us into two teams. one student from the first group, stood in front of us with his eyes closed, and then fell backwards(向后地). the second group stood behind him. before he fell on the floor, they should catch him and not let him get hurt. most of us were uncomfortable with this. we were afraid that they wouldnt catch us and we would hit the floor. so we didnt move. we just stood there and laughed in embarrassment(尴尬地). finally, one student, a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl called sarah, decided to move. she crossed her arms in front of her body, closed her eyes, and slowly fell backwards. she looked quiet but brave. for a moment, i was sure that she was going to fall on the floor. but before she hit the floor, the other students caught her, held her and finally helped her stand up. “whoa!” we were all surprised, and also encouraged(受鼓舞的). the girl was happy, too. seeing this, morrie smiled and said to the girl, “when you close your eyes, you cant see anything. you wont feel safe. when you are falling, the feeling gets stronger. you are not sure if you will hit the cold, hard floor or the warm, soft hands of your friends. but if you are brave enough to trust them, they will not let you down.”4. what is morrie?a. a student.b. a teacher.c. a manager.d. a farmer.5. what did the writer think of the girl?

change is hard work and there is no shortcut to get it. however, there are still some suggestions（建议）for you to follow.first, look at why you do it. in other words, whats the result of doing this thing? if your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure(压力), what do you get from it? it may make you feel a little better for the moment. or maybe you have a bad habit of not finishing your homework. the result could be that you get more time to spend on the internet!next, take a look on the other hand. what are you losing because of your habit? shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. not finishing you homework is a bad habit because you may be punished(惩罚) by your teacher. having more internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things you need to learn. when you think that way, youll find that its not wise to keep your bad habit! now it is time to make a decision(决定). what will you choose?
