69、注意：每空一个单词。The most important factor(因素) that leads to success is what you do every single day. Your habits will decide whether you are successful or not.

70、 positive habits does not mean that you will succeed every single time. However, in the long term, there is no doubt that you will achieve all your goals and be successful.

If you want to develop the habit of running, run almost every day. If you want to develop the habit of reading, read every day. Habits are created by repetition(重复).

74、The more you do an action. the easier it becomes in the long run.How to get rid of negative habits?The only way to destroy negative habits is to stop reinforcing(加强) them. If you are a smoker, stop smoking. If you are a drug user, stop using drugs. Yes, it will be very difficult at the beginning. Th

75、e first week will be very hard. After three weeks, you will feel a lot better. Its hard to get rid of negative habits because you got a lot of pleasure from these habits in the past.You can do it!Everybody can change. All it takes is courage and determination. Decide right now to improve your life b

84、icular reading in senior high school. Usually I am only asked to read some newspapers. Sometimes I just read some simple English stories or magazines to relax myself. But I have never read classic English books. Do you know why？The reasons are as followed. First, since entering senior high school, I

85、 have been burdened with so much homework that my reading time is very limited. Besides, I havent formed a habit of reading English. Lastly, the number of the English words I have mastered is less than 3000. I think the classic English books are too difficult to understand and so I even havent had a

86、 try. However, reading is important for our English learning. It can not only enlarge our English vocabulary but show us a colorful world. Especially it helps us to think better in English and learn English better. So I decide to read English widely, ranging from simple English stories to classic English books.Best wishes! Yours, Zhang Yong
