　　W:Professor McKay,can you tell me what you think your report on old people will achieve?

　　聽第10段材料,回答第17至20題。

　　Today I’ll talk about self improvement and give you some tips for getting rid of a bad habit.Habits are as we all know some sort of automatic behaviors and most of us employ habits that are far from good,thus we want to change them.There are many different bad habits:the habit of over-eating,the habit of telling lies,the habit of interrupting others when they talk,and so on.In spite of that,the tips below can be applied on whichever habit you want to break.

　　The first question you should ask when you plan to break a habit is “How serious are you about breaking it?” If you really force yourself to get rid of it,your chance of succeeding is much higher than if you don’t.Be aware that breaking habits requires focused energy and you need to concentrate on observing your behavior over a period of time.

　　It is also important that you find out exactly what your thoughts and feelings are each time you perform your unwanted behavior.When you write this down,you will be much more aware of why you perform this habit.

　　Then write down some alternative behaviors to the habit you want to get rid of that would be a better and more positive way to handle the feelings or the situation that is associated with it.Select one or a few alternative behaviors or habits and start to practice them.Be careful to observe your behavior and as soon as you notice that you are practicing your old habit,stop yourself and start the new alternative behavior you picked out previously.

　　17.What is a habit according to the speaker?

　　A.The way that someone behaves.

　　B.A thing we do without thinking.

　　C.An action that is considered bad.

　　答案:B

　　18.Which plays the leading role in breaking a habit?

　　A.How much we desire to break it.

　　B.How many tips we will apply.

　　C.How long we observe our behavior.

　　答案:A

　　19.Why should we write down our feelings when performing a bad habit?

　　A.To see how we feel about the behavior.

　　B.To check our awareness of the behavior.

　　C.To find out the reason for the behavior.

　　答案:C

　　20.How can we get out of a habit?

　　A.By performing alternative behaviors.

　　B.By picking out a new habit.

　　C.By observing our behavior regularly.

　　答案:A

　　B

　　Taxis,the underground,driving...in London these modes of transport are expensive.As a student on a budget,I couldn’t afford the 30 pounds (around 300 yuan) fare for a cab.Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence (about 12 yuan) for a single ticket.I didn’t need to travel this way anyway.I had Mabel—my London bike.

　　When I moved to Beijing,like every foreigner,I was delighted to discover I could take a cab cheaper than a single journey on the “Tube”.But something was wrong.I missed Mabel.That was when I met Mandarin Mabel,also known as Mandy,my Beijing bike.

　　In many ways,Beijing is made for cycling.It is flat,an easy terrain (地形) compared with hilly London.The city’s north/south/east/west grid structure is also easier to navigate than London’s unplanned,twisting streets.

　　However,Beijing comes complete with its own dangers.The rules of the road are flexible.Bikes,cars,pedestrians all float up and down lanes in both directions.
