21、Nearly all of us have a bad habit, whether we know it or not. Some people say they want to get rid of it but don’t know the proper ways. Here’s some advice on how to get rid of bad habits.

Make a list.

Write down why you want to stop a certain behavior, how it’s hurting you and how to get rid of it. This will help a lot. Look at that list regularly.

Join in other activities.

It’s wise of you to do something else when you want to stop your bad habits. If you get angry easily, for example, you can practice having a deep breath or going for a walk.

Give yourself a present.

Before you take action against a bad habit, decide what you’ll do to celebrate it if you reach your goal.

Keep off bad habits.

If you are fat and want to lose weight, keep junk food out of your house. If you are a heavy smoker with coffee, turn to tea and keep away from friends who like smoking.

Be patient.

Bad habits develop over years, so you probably won’t be able to get rid of them quickly. In fact, people often give up several times before being successful, so you should be patient.

Find support.

Don’t be afraid to ask for support from friends, family or other people who have the same bad habits as you. When you talk to others, they might be able to provide advice or encouragement that you usually wouldn’t get from yourself.

【1】If you want to lose weight, you should .

22、Most children have heard their parents at one time or another yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t slouch!” In the past, this was usually heard at the dinner table as children ate dinner. But these days, it is also heard around another activity – video games.

Ten-year old Owaish Batliwala, from Mumbai, India, admits he spends three to four hours each day playing games on his tablet computer. His mother Mehzabin became concerned when her son started saying that his neck hurt. She said, "My son started having neck problems around June or July. The pain slowly spread to his hand and his back. He plays for hours on the iPad and mobile phone. This is what has caused the problem."

Sadia Vanjara is a physical therapist. She says the number of young children with chronic pain in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the rise. Dr. Vanjara says the pain is not from aging, accidents or disease. It is from poor posture, or body position, while playing video games.

This is a problem in many parts of the world. But there are more smartphone users in India than anywhere else in the world, except China. Networking equipment company Cisco estimates that the number of smartphone users in India will increase from 140 million today to 651 million by 2020.

19-year old student Nida Jameel says she feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smartphone most of the day. She says she uses her smartphone 24/7. This means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.

Dr. Vanjara says the best treatments for the pain are daily exercises. Experts advise taking breaks from using a computer or other device often. Stand up. Stretch your legs, back, shoulders and arms. And when your work or school work is done, unplug and exercise.

23、   A group of schoolchildren wear colorful jackets; holding hands, they leave for a woodland picnic. Elsewhere a young man leaps into his car and speeds off to work. Moments later he loses control of the car and his spinning car kills each one of the cheery schoolchildren. The camera lingers on their dead hands and the now-empty classroom. Then an unpleasant voice explains that they represent the children killed as a result of speeding in Northern Ireland since 2000.

British road-safety ads are more shocking than those broadcast in America. The British have a preference for horror. It might reflect the nation's long tradition of public-service broadcasting, which seeks to entertain and inform at once. But do the ads work?

Though bloody，shocking public-information films linger in people’s heads, they seem not to change behavior much. If the consequences seem too extreme, few may believe that disaster could happen to them or adjust their behavior accordingly. Tessa Langley of the University of Nottingham has compared the influence of two smoking campaigns. One showed tumors erupting out of cigarettes and the other showed more positive effects that also urged people to quit. The former proved more memorable, but the latter led more people to ring the national smoking helpline.

The budget for public-information films is shrinking. The Central Office of Information, the government’s marketing department，was closed in 2011. In 2008-09 the Department for Transport (DfT) spent almost £3million on its drink-drive advertising campaign. In 2013-14 spending fell to less than £l million. Unable to afford as many spots on television, the producers hope their films will be shared on social media. And that is encouraging them to produce a great number of bloody ads. Less shocking ads might work better, but fewer people would see them.

【1】What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 1?

A.To share a terrible story with readers.

B.To show the harmful effects of speeding.

C.To offer an example of British bloody ads.

D.To describe a car accident in Northern Ireland.

【2】What message does the author mainly want to convey in paragraph 3?

A.There are two different campaigns designed to urge people to quit smoking.

B.Bloody public-information ads are more effective as they're more memorable.

C.Explaining the growth of tumors is a good way to urge people to quit smoking.

D.Showing the positive effects of giving up smoking can better persuade people to quit.

【3】What does the underlined word “shrinking” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Continuing. B.Decreasing. C.Removing. D.Progressing.

【4】What can be a suitable title for this text?

A.Do Shocking Ads Really Work?

B.What Public-information Ads Bring Us?

C.How Do the British Create Ads?

D.Why Are British Ads So Shocking?

24、The Shift Your World Film Festival

Are you ready to join the enriching 4-day journey exploring the power of film? This important event is rooted in the understanding that the most powerful world-changing movies are ones that leave us as better, wiser, and more engaged humans by the end of the experience.
