Mark Twain said that "habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed(劝诱) downstairs a step at a time. " The chances of successfully changing negative behavior    when you make gradual changes that give you time to _   _ negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and _   _ to begin to change a given behavior "today." Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time      or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high       . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing    it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not       if they start with the change itself.      , they believe that we must        a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that       change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that       what you do ,you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most     problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to      when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose after doing       on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can not believe I failed that easy exam. I am so stupid.”By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational,   statements about what is really going on, you can increase the       that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be     as follows: "I really didn't study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next     ”.
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from      and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully      or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on (沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

On Saturday, Feb 12, 2000, two things happened that changed my life.
First of all, my baby sister got married. She was 26 this day, and yet to me she was still my baby sister.
I was happy, but also sad. Gone were the days of me bossing(支使) her around. My bossy behavior had once earned me the nickname Lucy. If you’re a fan of Peanuts, then you can clearly imagine my behavior as an older sister.
At one point, I left the wedding reception to get some air. I went outside and walked to a nearby playground. I’m not sure how long I sat there before my sister came and joined me. We talked about how we were both grown up. As she wiped a tear from my eye, she lovingly said, “You’ll always be Lucy to me.” We hugged.
Then, my cousin Mike walked over to tell us that it was time to cut the cake, and the second thing that changed my life that day came to pass.
“Hey, did you guys hear that Charles Schulz died today?” he said casually – as if it were no big deal. Then he took my sister’s arm and they turned to head back to the reception hall. “Coming?” they asked. “In a minute,” I replied, and I sat back down on the bench, dizzy from what Mike had just told me.
How could Charles Schulz be dead? He was my creator! He was almost like a father to me!
I had lost so many things on that day. My innocence had slipped away like a thief in the night. It was gone before I could do anything about it, taking with it all the treasures that I had held in my heart. I felt myself grow up in an instant. I saw, for the first time, what I really was – a 30-year-old woman with a husband of my own, and soon, a child of my own.
I took a deep breath and stood up from the bench. I turned and headed back to the hall, hoping I hadn’t missed the cutting of the cake. It was the day that my sister grew wings of her own and left the nest – the day that Lucy died, and I was born.
小题1:Why did the author feel sad at her sister’s wedding?
A.She was afraid of change.
B.Her sister was getting ready to move far away from her.
C.Her wonderful childhood with her sister had become a thing of the past.
D.She had nobody to turn to for help with housework.
小题2:When the author’s cousin told her that Charles Schulz had died, she __________.
A.felt a great sense of loss
B.burst into tears
C.thought he was joking
D.got angry at him for his attitude
小题3:What is implied when the author says that “Lucy died, and I was born”?
A.The author has realized how her sister must have felt about her and decided to change.
B.Lucy no longer matters to the author.
C.The author doesn’t like the nickname Lucy anymore.
D.The author is no longer sad and ready to face the fact that she is an adult.
小题4:The best title of the passage can be __________.
A.Two things changing my life
B.My baby sister’s wedding
C.Not Lucy anymore
D.Not innocent anymore

Several years ago, I worked as a truck driver for a company. On Saturdays I usually spent several hours doing something to keep my truck in good condition.
One Saturday, as I was cleaning my truck, I noticed the boss’s elderly father came out to ask his grandson to take him fishing after work. The grandson told him all about how much he would love to do that, but he just couldn’t because he had other plans already. The old man hobbled (蹒跚) off to the house.
Then I heard the grandson telling his dad, "I’m not taking that old man fishing! It’s worse than taking a kid."
That just broke my heart.
I quit working immediately and went home to fetch my fishing gear (渔具) and a chair. Then I came back and invited the old man to go fishing. He accepted happily.
When we got to the river, I let him sit in the chair at the edge of the water. It wasn’t long before he got a fish. He got one fish after another. His eyes were shining like a child. About half an hour later, he told me he was tired and needed to go home. So I took him and the fish home.
Two weeks later, the old man died. His family told me later that all he talked about during that time was his fishing trip. I am satisfied that I have taken an old man on his last fishing trip, but I am sorry that his family have lost their last chance. Whenever you get the chance, don’t forget about taking Grandpa fishing. Someday, you may be in the same place and you’ll want your family to care about you, too.
小题1:The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A.tell us something about his work
B.tell us about a fishing experience
C.persuade us to take Grandpa fishing
D.persuade us to care about the elderly
小题2:The old man’s Grandson refused to fish with him because ______.
A.he had something more important to do that day
B.he didn’t like to fish with an old man
C.he was tired of his job and he wanted to rest
D.he preferred fishing with a child
小题3:What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word "quit"?
A.startB.stopC.imagineD.try
小题4:According to the passage, we can infer(推断) that the author is _______.
A.willing to make his boss happy
B.in need of care from his family
C.prefers fishing to his work
D.kind and warm-hearted

A couple were having a wedding. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely    and all had a wonderful time. The bride was      in her white wedding gown and the groom was very handsome. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a    , “Each of us will write a list of things we find a bit    with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can    them and make our lives happier.” The husband agreed. So they went to think of the things that annoyed them about the other.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided they would go over their   .
“I’ll start,” said the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Nothing.” the husband replied,“   reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three    to her husband.
“Now, it’s your turn and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.” she said happily.
      the husband stated,“I don’t have anything on my list. I think you are    the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me.”
The wife    by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time seeking the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the     things before us?

Children find meanings in their old family tales.  
When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker,        all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the darkest times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly         , he loaded his family into the car and          them to see family members in Canada with a         , “There are more important things in life than money.”
The          took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer downsized to a          house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was          that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren’t. Instead, their reaction echoed (重复) their great-grandfather’s. What they          about was how warm the people were in the house and how much of their heart was accessible.
Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to help children through           times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon (现象) reflects a growing         in telling tales, evidenced (证明) by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.
A university          of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids’ ability to          parents’ stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.
The          is telling the stories in a way children can hear. We’re not talking here about the kind of story that         , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill both ways, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited (适合) to the child’s         , and make eye contact to create “a personal experience”. We don’t have to tell children what they should take from the story and what the moral is.
