Passage 3(2026·盐城市东台月考)
What exactly is a “bad” habit? We often come up with common e 1 such as biting the ends of your nails(指甲) or eating fast food. There are many simple ways to fight bad habits, even if you've had them for many years.
· Nail biting
Chewing at the ends of your nails shows moments of anxiety, stress or simply as a bad habit. As many as 30 per cent of the population bite their nails, with teenagers being the biggest group. It may seem like a harmless habit, but by continually chewing your nails, dirt and bacteria(细菌) are being transferred into your mouth, putting you at greater risk of infections(感染).
In the past, preventing nail biting involved coating fingertips with bitter or sour-tasting foods. However, today there are many nail polish products that have the same e 2. Creating a physical barrier between the mouth and nail, such as gloves or mouth guards(护齿牙套), can also help to break the habit. Maintaining short nails is also a method to prevent the habit from being formed.
For the more severe cases, nail biting may have a r 3 with your mental health, such as anxiety or depression. In these cases, cognitive behavioural therapies can be explored to understand the emotional root of the habit and seek to solve the problems.
· Procrastination(拖延)
W 4 it's washing the dishes, answering a work email or writing the school essay by the end of the deadline, procrastination is a bad habit that can affect many different aspects of your life. Other than the stress and anxiety caused by rushing to finish a task you've put off completing, procrastination can lead to you c 5 your self-worth, producing poor-quality or incorrect work, and fatigue(疲劳).
To prevent putting tasks off until the last minute, list the most important things you need to achieve that day. Also, be realistic about what you can achieve in your given time frame. It also doesn't hurt to try out a reward system for each task. By only doing your f 6 things once you've carried out a task, you might be more likely to achieve your goals.
· Being a couch potato
Lying on the sofa in front of the TV after a long day at work or on a lazy Sunday afternoon might be c 7 by some as the perfect “me time”. Perhaps for an hour or two a day that might be true, but what about for five hours or even an entire day? Getting into the bad habit of s 8 long time lying still increases the risk of depression and obesity(肥胖), and can even make you less agreeable(讨人喜欢的).
Keeping an active routine and strict TV schedule is the best way to prevent you becoming a couch potato. It's recommended that you only spend a 9 two hours per day sitting watching TV and at least 30 minutes exercising. The l 10 TV show can be hard to say no to, so try to limit how many episodes(集) you watch in a day. If you just have to see how the series ends, do some exercise in the living room while watching your favourite show.
