Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice 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, 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 leaving your homework undone. 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. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that 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. What will you choose? Im sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.58.

The boy was doing well, so he couldnt understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“ Master,” the boy finally asked, “shouldnt I be learning more moves?” “ This is the only move you know, but this is the only move youll ever need to know,” the teacher answered.Several months later, the teacher took the boy to his first competition. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the final.This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Soon after the match started, the boy seemed to lose. Thinking that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was going to stop the match when the teacher appeared. “ No,” the teacher said, “Let him continue.” A short time after the match carried on, his opponent made a careless mistake. At once, the boy used his move to pin (压住) him. The boy won the match and the competition. On the way home, the boy asked the teacher what was really in his mind. “ Why could I win the competition with only one move?” The teacher answered. “ First, youve mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. Second, your opponent can only attack your left arm to win you.”根据短文内容完成下面的表格，每空一词。Title: Ones weakness can become his (76) _A boy had lost left arm, (77) _ he decided to learn judoAfter three months of training, the master taught him only one move.His first (78) _First three matchesHe won.学科王FinalHis opponent was bigger, (79) _ and more (80) _ .At the (81) _, the boy seemed to lose the match.The judge was (82) _ that the boy might get hurt and called a time-out.His opponent made a mistake.
