HABITS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions. However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. For example, some of them may become involved in tobacco① or alcohol② abuse③, which can lead to physical④ and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating⑤ a teenagers life is essential. They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes.
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts. There is a famous saying based on the philosophy of Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly⑥ do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.
According to modern psychology⑦, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this:
·Firstly, there is a “cue”⑧, an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
·Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in response to⑨ the cue.
·Thirdly, there is the “reward”⑩, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negativeroutine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed (reward). Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an escalator(cue), our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, and if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly,but over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change,a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits.
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there is no “magic pill” or delete button that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide on some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!

健康的生活方式需养成的习惯
在成长过程中,青少年会变得越来越独立,并且开始自己做决定。然而,在这一时期,他们中的一部分人容易养成不良习惯。如果任其发展,在他们长大成人后,这些不良习惯可能会导致更为严重的有害习惯。例如,一些青少年可能吸烟成瘾或酗酒,造成身心健康问题。防止此类有害习惯主宰青少年的生活是至关重要的。他们必须学会早早认清不良习惯并作出适当的改变。
改变不良习惯从来都不是一件容易的事情,即使你三番五次地尝试。有句基于亚里士多德哲学的名言:“我们反复做的事情造就了我们。”从很多方面看,我们的生活方式是我们所作出的选择的总和。我们选择做某件事,接着我们反反复复地做这件事。不久之后,这项选择就变得自然而然,成为一种更加难以改变的习惯。好消息是,如果我们了解习惯是怎么运作的,我们就可以作出改变。
根据现代心理学,我们必须首先了解“习惯循环”,其工作原理如下:
·第一是“触发因素”,即一个行动、事件或状况,充当要做某事的讯号。
·第二是“惯常行为”,即你响应触发因素而采取的常规行动。
·第三是“回报”,即我们从惯常行为中获得的美好事物或感受。
例如,当我们感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们会吃很多不健康零食(惯常行为),这让我们感到快乐(回报)。这一回报使我们更有可能继续这一循环,从而形成了依赖不健康零食这一不良习惯。
为了促进我们不良习惯的积极改变,我们必须首先审视我们的不良习惯循环,然后尝试去改变它们。为了做到这一点,我们可以把来自我们不良习惯循环的信息与我们自己的积极想法结合起来。例如,我们可以试着将一个消极的惯常行为替换为一个更积极的东西。因此,当我们再次感到不高兴时(触发因素),我们可以听几首自己最喜爱的音乐(惯常行为),而不是吃零食,这会使我们感到放松(回报)。除了改变不良习惯之外,我们还可以利用习惯循环来养成良好的习惯。例如,当我们走到电梯前的时候(触发因素),我们的惯常行为是乘坐电梯,但是我们可以改为走楼梯,从而将上述惯常行为改变为一个更积极的事情。
我们中很多人试图迅速改变不良习惯,一旦没有立刻成功,我们往往变得悲观,继而放弃。事实上,改变不良习惯的最佳方法不是一蹴而就,而是需要一段时间。正如中国哲学家老子所说:“千里之行,始于足下。”一步似乎很小,却至关重要。为了实现改变这一目标,一个人必须展示出一定程度的自制力,不断地迈出许多小步。毕竟,戒除不良习惯并非易事。
对年轻人来说,有大量的时间可以改变不良习惯。然而,能帮助你的“魔力丸”或删除键并不存在;你必须思考自己的不良习惯,选定一些作出改变。你有能力构建一种充满良好习惯的快乐、健康的生活!

习·综合素养
学语言表达
1.学好词
(1)根据文章第一段第一句中的“grow up, more independent”可知,孩子们在成长过程中会形式一些不良习惯。
(2)根据第二段第二句中的repeatedly可以看出,一旦习惯形成就很难改变,因为它是不断重复形成的。
(3)根据第三段第一句中的must可以看出,要想改掉一些不良习惯,必须要知道“habit cycle”是怎样进行和起作用的。
2.学佳句
(1)第一段首句“As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions.”中用了As引导的时间状语从句,可见习惯的形成是一个逐渐的过程。
(2)第二段最后一句“The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.”中既有that引导的表语从句,又有if引导的条件状语从句,从句的使用能丰富句子的内容,让读者更容易理解句意。
(3)文章第一、二段,第五、六段都用到了不定式作目的状语,非谓语的使用使句子结构丰富,且更能突出重点。
学后微练—尝试翻译下列句子
①随着时间的流逝,我长成了一个真正的男人。
As time goes by, I have grown up into a real man.
②事实是他没有做真正的努力。
The fact is that he doesnt really try.
学行文结构
本文是按“总—分—总”结构行文的,首先提出青少年随着年龄的增长,容易形成一些不良习惯,接下来讲了怎么样改掉不良习惯,最后说青少年有足够的时间去改掉不良习惯,文章结构非常清楚,易于理解。
文章恰当地使用了并列连词and和转折副词however以及表示因果的so将各要点串联在一起,使文章成为一个整体。表示转折的词还有yet, but, on the contrary等。
学后微练—尝试用恰当的词填空
