His first children's book A Little Pretty Pocket-Book came out in 1744 and Lt became a great success. Soon, John published more children's books. Among them, there was a novel for kids called The History o f Little Goody Two-Shoes. As a publisher, John helped publish about 500 books for readers of all ages.

He found that his patients spent about 21 days getting used to a new way of seeing themselves. But not all habits take 21 days to develop. Some need more time to become a regular(规律的) part of your life. Mark Vahrmeyer, a therapist (治疗专家) , says the 21-day rule seems easy. But often, it takes longer to make a habit. Dr Maurice Duffy, who teaches a- bout thinking patterns(方式) , says that our daily actions are our habits. Alyssa Roberts, who researches eating habits, says habits are made by repeating(重复) something. When we do something many times, our brain starts to do it without thinking. Author Charles Duhigg explains the "habit loop", that is a habit has three parts: a trigger（引发其他事件的-件事), the habit, and a reward(回报). For example, stress might lead to overeating ( 暴食) to feel better.If this repeats, the brain will see stress as a chance to eat for comfort. A 2016 study found that believing in yourself is the key to forming habits. If you think you can keep a habit, you likely will. This belief helps in quitting (停止) smoking, losing weight, drinking less, and exercising more. ( )66. Who hold the idea that it takes 21 days to form a habit? A. Dr. Maurice Duffy. B. Alyssa Roberts. C. Mark Vahrmeyer. D. Dr. Maxwell Maltz. ( )67. According to the text, what is the 6'habit loop" made up of? A .A trigger, the habit, and a response. B. A trigger, action, and a reward. C. A trigger, the habit, and a reward. D. Stress, action, and a comfort. ( )68. What is the key to forming habits? A. Believing in yourself. B. Keeping a habit. C. Exercising. D. Losing weight. ( ) 69. What is the main idea of the passage? A.It takes 21 days to form a habit. B. All habits are formed in the same way. C. The idea of habit formation came from Dr. Maxwell Maltz. D. The process(过程) of forming a habit differs(不同) and depends on different conditions. E Many people think that fish have very short memories, but recent research shows that this is not true. In the study, researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids(丽鱼) to go to a certain area of their tank(缸) to get food. They took the fish out and then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. But there was no clear evidence(证据) until the latest findings. Just as a good memory can make our lives easier. It also plays an important part when the fish are trying to survive in the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains(容纳) safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives in danger," lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science. So next time you are watching your pet fish from outside the tank, perhaps you should feel closer to them-they may remember who you are. ( )70. What did the experiment with African cichlids show? A. Fish have the same memory as humans. B. Fish can survive without food for 12 days. C. Fish need to be taught where their food is. D. Fish can remember where their food is located. ( )71. What does the underlined word mean? A.离开 B.到达 C.记住 D.生存 ( )72. Which of the following is TRUE according toTrevor Hamilton? A. Fish know where to get food. B.It's easy for fish to live in the wild. C.A good memory can make fish safer in the wild. D. Fish are often in danger when they look for food. 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F Mary is a cheerful girl. She always has a big smile on her face.
