Creating good habits can be as tough as breaking bad habits. From my experience, one of the most important factors {#blank#}1{#/blank#} make forming a new habit hard is that a lot of willpower {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (require), at least in the beginning, and that alone can prevent many people correctly developing their desired habits.

    Now instead of just using willpower and reminding {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (you) to start the new habit each day, why don't you just link it to an existing one? I have done {#blank#}4{#/blank#} experience. It started with just 20 pushups (俯卧撑), something easy. So before I showered each day, I would do the pushups. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a couple of days, I increased the amount just to make it a bit more challenging.

    Gradually, over the course of about 3 months, I'm now doing 100 pushups. And as the habit grew stronger, it got easier to do so {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (natural). Now I know the habit is pretty much ingrained (根深蒂固), for I feel like something is missing {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I don't do this before showering. I found it pretty easy {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (create) this habit and not much willpower was involved.

    I think the key, apart from using an {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (exist) habit, is to start out with something really easy. Once that starts becoming part of your {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (day) routine, add on to it.

    Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted {#blank#}1{#/blank#} his new hotel, the world's first igloo(冰屋) hotel.

    {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (build) in an small town, it has been attracting lots of visitors but soon the fun will be over. In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (be) nothing more than a pool of water. “We don't see it as a big problem, ”he says. “We just look forward to {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (replace)it. ”

    Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} successful that he designed the present one, {#blank#}6{#/blank#} measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (wood) base；when the snow froze, the base was removed.

After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures {#blank#}8{#/blank#} 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test {#blank#}9{#/blank#} a relaxing hotel break. “It's great fun,” Bergqvist explains, “As well as a good start in survival training.''

    The {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (popular)of the igloo is beyond doubt：it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.

    When I was thirteen, my parents and I visited an eye doctor. After the examination, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} doctor said with coldness that I had an eye disease. I had inherited it, {#blank#}2{#/blank#} my brother's eyes seemed to be fine.

    Fifteen years after that, my father began to lose {#blank#}3{#/blank#} sight and I did, too. I fixed all my attention {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the effects of my own darkness. My world seemed {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (break) down and it destroyed all my dreams.

    {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, I learnt new things from my father. Twenty years later, I look back at what he has given me. He taught me the determination to move forward {#blank#}7{#/blank#} facing difficulties. His journey taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness. He had held onto his faith and moved from his comfortable hometown to this unknown land.

    I did the same as I stepped into the strange {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (sight) world. Later I gained confidence and learned the language of thankfulness. With great appreciation for my father's example, I learned the powerful combination of faith and insistence and {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (perform) my own different roles. Luckily, {#blank#}10{#/blank#} I inherited from my father helped me see my life differently.

    People often don't do what they really want to for fear of failure. You don't apply for a job {#blank#}1{#/blank#}case you don't get it. You don't perform at the school concert b{#blank#}2{#/blank#}others might laugh at you. A lack of confidence can l{#blank#}3{#/blank#} to a lot of suffering. The key to o{#blank#}4{#/blank#}this problem is to believe in yourself. This might be{#blank#}5{#/blank#}(容易)said than done, but there are many w{#blank#}6{#/blank#} to help you do this. Talk about your problem with a friend or look {#blank#}7{#/blank#}advice on the Internet. Imagine yourself being {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(成功）and practice breathing techniques to keep you calm when you get nervous. And the {#blank#}9{#/blank#} important thing is： believe you can do it. When you've{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (学会）to do that, you are well on your way.

    John Snow was an expert doctor who attended Queen Victoria {#blank#}1{#/blank#} her personal physician. However, he was well-known for his defeat of “King Cholera”. During the mid-19th century, London suffered a series of cholera outbreaks. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(expose) to the deadly disease, many thousands of {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(terrify) people died every time there was an outbreak. John was determined to help them. He believed the disease {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(absorb) into people's bodies through meals and he needed evidence to prove his idea. In 1854, when there was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} outbreak in London, he was ready to began his enquiry. He gathered the information and marked on a map the exact places {#blank#}6{#/blank#} all the dead people had lived. With the help of the map, he found that in two particular streets, the outbreak was {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(extreme) severe. He did further research and found the polluted water from pump was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(blame). He immediately told the astonished people not to drink the water. Later, John found supporting evidence from two other deaths linked to the Broad Street outbreak. So, he was able to announce with {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(certain) that cholera was spread by germs. To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all the water sources {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(examine). Finally, King Cholera was defeated.
