17、hs(小径)are formed in the same way: by repetition. Villagers, as a rule, do not purposefully make a foot path to the next village. They just go the shortest or easiest way over the fields. Day after day a people go and come the same way. Their feet beat the earth hard. By their repeated walking in the

18、 same direction a path is made. Similarly, the more often we do anything in the same way or at the same time, the more we shall do it that way. At last a habit is formed.Usually it is much easier to form bad habits than good habits. The reason is simple we are just lazy. For example, it is easier to

19、 lie in bed on a cold morning than to get up early. It is easier to put off todays duties to tomorrow than to do them at the right time.Bad habits are not formed in a day, and it is the same with good habits. The forming of good habits needs time and calls for effort and hard work at first; but ever

20、y time we do the right thing, it makes doing the same thing next time much easier. Its really hard to get up early on a cold winter morning for the first time. However, if you keep doing it every day for some time, it will become “a piece of cake” in the end. At last, we form the good habit ，which w

21、ould be hard to break even if we wanted to break it.Get into the habit of early rising, and you will not want to lie in bed like a lazybone. Get into the habit of telling the truth, and you will find it really hard to tell a lie. Get into the habit of doing todays work today, and you will feel uncom

25、hat would be a good title for this passage?A. How Habits Are FormedB. How Habits Shape Peoples LifeC. Connections Between Habits and PathsD. Differences Between Good and Bad HabitsDA new kind of sea sponge(海绵） found in Norfolk, England, has been named by a nine-year-old girl after a competition for

26、local schools. The unique purple sponge, which had never been seen in other parts of the world, was first discovered by divers(潜水者) off the north Norfolk coast. Although found in 2011, it had been without a name for almost ten years. In January this year, the Marine Conservation Society (MCS)- a gro

27、up of people who work to protect the UKs seas and coast - asked local schoolchildren to come up with suggestions.Now the sponge has a name to be proud of: parpal dumplin, as suggested by nine-year-old Sylvie from Langham Village School. Sylvie said she came up with the name because “the sponge is pu

28、rple and it looks like a dumpling”. Parpal dumpling is “purple dumpling” spoken in a Norfolk accent(口音). The judges all agreed that Sylvies suggestion should be the sponges name because “the spelling gives the sponge a strong connection to Norfolk”.Sponges were once thought to be plants but they are

29、 actually simple sea animals. They feed on tiny things in sea water and help to keep the water clean in the process. Sponges have a very “lazy” lifestyle, with no means of moving themselves around. They are found on the seabed, rocks or even shells. They come in all kinds of different colours, shape

30、s and sizes.Parpal dumplin was first discovered in a place called the Cromer Shoal Chalk Beds as part of a project called Seasearch. When diver Dawn Watson showed sponge expert Claire Goodwin what she found, Goodwin was sure that it was a kind of sponge unknown to science. Watsons discovery is a spe

31、cial sponge, which takes the shape of whatever it covers. Parpal dumplin will now become its common name, and will be used until researchers have learned enough about it to suggest an official scientific one.16. What does the underlined word “unique” probably mean?A. strange and ugly B. special and

32、unusualC. soft and beautiful D. meaningful and important17. Why was the name parpal dumplin chosen?A. Because it sounds interesting.B. Because Sylvie won the competition.C. Because the sponge really looks like a purple dumpling.D. Because its spelling is related to the place where it was found.18. What can we learn about sponges from Paragraph 4?A. The
