二、阅读理解。
A
A habit is an action that we have acted so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are not good habits. People spend many hours and dollars each year trying to give up（放弃）these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change requires hard work and there is no shortcut to getting it. However, there are still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s 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 leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look at the other side. 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 you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do something that is more important.

答案
1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D
解析
1. 第一段提到人们每年花费大量时间和金钱试图改掉坏习惯却常常失败，A选项符合文意；B选项“必须改掉所有习惯”文中未提及；C选项“坏习惯永远无法改变”与文意不符；D选项“容易改变坏习惯”与“often fail”矛盾，故选A。2. 划线句所在段落指出改掉坏习惯需要努力，没有捷径，即改掉坏习惯不容易，C选项符合；A、B、D均与文意不符，故选C。3. 文中给出的改掉坏习惯的建议是先分析自己为什么会有该习惯，以及该习惯带来的结果，对应B选项；A、C、D均不是文中提到的方法，故选B。4. 结合语境，没完成作业会被老师“惩罚”，D选项符合，故选D。
