填空题Instead of talking about human nature, we can talk about habits. We can speak of our ability to control habits. We can change habits by eliminating unwanted ones and adding new ones. Success in school and life is largely a matter of{{U}} (1) {{/U}}effective habits. It can be one simple, small change in{{U}} (2) {{/U}}. Let me suggest a few steps in changing a habit. First, we should face the{{U}} (3) {{/U}}about any habit, from failing asleep in class to cheating on examinations. Without taking this step, our efforts m change may become fruitless and futile. When we admit what is really going on in our lives, we are open to{{U}} (4) {{/U}}and Support Second, we should commit to{{U}} (5) {{/U}}the new behavior. After we choose a new habit, we need to use it and make a{{U}} (6) {{/U}}for when and how. We may ask ourselves such questions as these. When will I{{U}} (7) {{/U}}the new habit? Where will I be? How, exactly, will I think, speak, or act{{U}} (8) {{/U}}? Third, we should get{{U}} (9) {{/U}}and support, which is a crucial step and a point where many of our plans for change{{U}} (10) {{/U}}down. One way to get feedback is to ask other people to{{U}} (11) {{/U}}us. If we want to start a new behavior, consider telling our close friends or family{{U}} (12) {{/U}}who can give the more{{U}} (13) {{/U}}, long-lasting support necessary in starting new habits. We ourselves are the most effective{{U}} (14) {{/U}}for our own support and feedback. We know ourselves{{U}} (15) {{/U}}than anyone else and we can design a system to{{U}} (16) {{/U}}our own behavior in starting the new habit. Finally, we need to keep{{U}} (17) {{/U}}the new behavior until it becomes as{{U}} (18) {{/U}}as breathing. Even when we don't get the{{U}} (19) {{/U}}we want from a new behavior, we can still learn something{{U}} (20) {{/U}}from the process of forming the new habit. Once we have learnt how to change one habit, we know how to change any habit.

填空题There are hundreds of Native American Indian tribes in North America today, each with its own religious beliefs.

And to give an example{{U}} (9) {{/U}}, lots of people might go out and get an electric toothbrush. However, the extra electricity necessary to power that toothbrush requires{{U}} (10) {{/U}}that harms the air, the water and the Great Life. So a manual toothbrush will be{{U}} (11) {{/U}}. Thirdly, man should not pollute where he lives. It is not just his home, not just{{U}} (12) {{/U}}or his country. It's this planet, {{U}}(13) {{/U}}called the Earth. People should not pour chemical wastes down the drain because they all{{U}} (14) {{/U}}in the water. The Cherokees don't have a problem with plastic as they don't have it. They still{{U}} (15) {{/U}}. There are small things to conserve the natural resources like{{U}} (16) {{/U}}wastes. There are other simple things they would do--instead of using the car for{{U}} (17) {{/U}}, save them up so they would use the car as little as possible. And while minimizing the amount of{{U}} (18) {{/U}}in farming, they may take leftover food and turn it into rich garden compost, an excellent{{U}} (19) {{/U}}and flower garden. This is the so-called organic gardening. All in all, to many Native Americans, there are both{{U}} (20) {{/U}}interest in protecting the land.

填空题Today"s topic is the heather moors of Scotland. It"s a sight that is 1 itself: the heather blooming on the moors 2 . But it is one that is becoming far less common. Rather alarmingly, the moors 3 , and nowadays only 4 is covered with heather, whereas in the not too distant past, this area was much greater, in the 1940s there was 5 heather than there is today. Why should any of this matter? Aside from the fact that 6 , does heather have any other value? The answer must be an emphatic yes. First of all, 7 would be very hard pressed to survive without it. In fact, twenty-one species are 8 . Secondly, the heather moors provide the backdrop for certain sports such as deer stalking, which constitute 9 for the rural economy. Thirdly, this small bushy plant features prominently among 10 , and as is the case in many countries today, tourism is an important source of revenue 11 . So, if the heather moors are 12 to Scotland, why have they been allowed to shrink so drastically? To a certain extent, the damage is due to mismanagement and 13 on the part of landowners: 14 is one of the major factors that have contributed to 15 of the heather moors. On top of that, large tracts have been cleared so that 16 . It is becoming increasingly obvious that something should be done to 17 as soon as possible. Now, there is no disputing the fact that 18 over a long period has been one of the main causes of the problem, so there is no reason why 19 to manage the heather moors properly shouldn"t likewise bring positive results. Such programmes have recently got under way in certain areas, although it could be several years before 20 .

Nevertheless, I had to wonder how he found time to hold down a summer job and complete a college course in between all that 27 with his thumb. I was even 28 to learn that my son is normal.
