18、r for me. You see, I have to go everywhere these days with a walker, and folks are constantly holding or opening doors for me, so this was not unusual. However, I told the gentleman that the door had an automatic opener, and he did not need to stay to hold it open. He said, “Here I thought I would h
19、ave an opportunity to be helpful. ”At that, I backed up, let the door close, and allowed him to reopen the door, not using the automatic control this time. His comment then was “Well, now I feel like that I have accomplished something helpful and worthwhile today. ”We never know how someone else is

COur character, basically, is made up of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny, ”as the saying goes
25、. Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns; they constantly, daily express our character and produce effectiveness or ineffectiveness. As Horace Mann, a great educator, once said, “A habit is like a cable. We weave a strand(线)of it every day a
26、nd soon it cannot be broken. ”I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. And I also know it isnt a quick fix. It involves a process and tremendous(巨大的)devotion. Some of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as they
27、saw the first men walk on the moon and return to the earth. But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous pull of gravity of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off in the first few miles of travel than was used over the next several days to trav
28、el half a million miles. Habits, too, have tremendous pull. However, most people dont realize or admit it. 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 unprecedent
29、ed(空前的)freedom. Like any natural force, the pull of gravity can work with us or against us. The pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going wherever we want to go. But it is also the pull of gravity that keeps our world together and keeps the planets in their orbits and our uni
30、verse in order. It is powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can create cohesiveness(凝聚力)to establish effectiveness in our lives. 29. Why did the author quote the saying in the first paragraph? A. To show the author was a wise man. B. To support the authors opinion about the habit. C. Beca
31、use a great educator asked the author to do it. D. Because the author liked the old saying very much. 30. Why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives? A. Because habits can constantly affect our character. B. Because habits can be learned and unlearned. C. Because you can reap
32、a character by sowing a habit. D. Because a habit is like a cable and useful to our life. 31. What does the writer mean by referring to gravity pull? A. Ridding bad habits needs great willpower. B. Breaking the gravity pull means enjoying freedom. C. To prove that the habits can work with us or agai
33、nst us. D. The gravity pull is very important in our lives. 32. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. Forming a good character is importantB. The importance of the pull of gravityC. Excellence is not an act but a habitD. The powerful factors of habitsDChimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain
34、 ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. who are able
35、 from a young age to gather their own food. In the laboratory, chimps dont naturally share food either. If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random -he
36、 just doesnt care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. Chimps are truly selfish.Human children, on the other hand are extremely cooperative. From the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. The psychologist Michael Tomasello has
37、studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children. He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an unrelated adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share
38、 are not taught .but naturally possessed in young children. One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. A third reason is that social
