Question

【題目】Our character, basically, is made up of our habits. "Sow a habit, reap (收獲) a character: sow a character reap a destiny (命運(yùn))," as the saying goes.

【1】Because they are often unconscious patterns, they constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Hahits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it every day and soon it cannot be broken. "Habits can be learned. But we know it isn't a quick fix.【2】.

Many of us have watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11.【3】But to get there. those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.

【4】Getting rid of bad habits really requires great willpower and some changes in our lives. lift-off takes tremendous effort, but once we break out of the pull of gravity, we can enjoy great freedom.

Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together and keeps the planets in their orbits.【5】We can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

A. It involves a process and a great effort.

B. Habits are powerful factors in our lives.

C. Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull.

D. It is a powerful force if we use it effectively.

E. We should try our best to get rid of our bad habits.

F. To break out of the pull of gravity needs great efforts.

G. We were surprised to see the first men walk on the moon.

【解析】卓越僅僅是一個(gè)習(xí)慣。 在不知不覺中， 經(jīng)年累月形成的習(xí)慣影響著我們的品德，暴露出我們的本性，左右著我們的成敗。只要我們善于運(yùn)用習(xí)慣的龐大引力，就能使生活有重心，有秩序，有效率。

【1】由下文中的“Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.因?yàn)樗�是一貫的�?/span> 在不知不覺中， 經(jīng)年累月影響著我們的品德，暴露出我們的本性，左右著我們的成敗。可知，B選項(xiàng)“習(xí)慣對我們的生活有巨大的影響。”切題。

【2】上一句提到“習(xí)慣就仿佛是一條纜繩，我們每天為它纏上一股新繩索，不要多久就會變得牢不可破。習(xí)慣可以養(yǎng)成,但絕不是一蹴而就。”承接上文，A選項(xiàng)“而是需要長期的努力和無比的毅力。”切題。該選項(xiàng)中的involves和上文it isn't a quick fix呼應(yīng)。

【3】該空前面提到：宇航員搭乘阿波羅11號太空船， G選項(xiàng)“首次登陸月球的剎那，的確令人嘆為觀止�！鼻蓄}。下文中“但宇航員得先擺脫地球強(qiáng)大的引力，才能飛往月球�！迸c之相呼應(yīng)。

【4】由下文中的“想要革除因循茍且，缺乏耐心，吹毛求疵或自私自利等不良習(xí)性，若是缺乏意志力，不能大刀闊斧的改革，便難以實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。“起飛”需要極大的努力，然而一旦脫離重力的牽絆，我們便可享受前所未有的自由。可知，C選項(xiàng)“習(xí)慣也是一樣，它具有極大的引力，”切題。

【5】該空前面提到：宇宙萬物各循軌道運(yùn)行，彼此保持一定的秩序，畢竟也都有賴于引力的作用。G選項(xiàng)“所以只要我們善于運(yùn)用習(xí)慣，習(xí)慣就是龐大引力。”切題。下文中“就能使生活有重心，有秩序，有效率�！迸c之相呼應(yīng)。
