     (1)Our character, basically, is a mixture of our habits. "Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action,
reap a habit;________, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny (命運(yùn))," the maxim goes.
     (2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are  often unconscious patterns, they
constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
     (3)As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Habits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it
everyday and 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. But we also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process
and a tremendous effort.
     (4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men
walk on the moon and return to earth. 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, in the first
few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.
     (5)Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit.
Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延) , impatience, criticalness,
or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower
and a few minor changes in our lives. "Lift off" takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the
gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new situation.
     (6)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, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force,
and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish
effectiveness in our lives.

[1] The kids get home from school—tired, hungry and looking for entertainment. The last thing they want to do is to get on with their homework. However, at this very time, parents often remind the kids to do their homework by nagging(嘮叨)and cajoling(哄騙). If that doesn’t work, homework wars break out. But with some basic rules and good habits, they can be avoided.

[2] When it comes to preparing your kids for homework success, one of the first things to consider is the environment they are working in. Not all children will like working alone in their bedrooms. Some children might prefer to study at the kitchen table, and providing that location works for the family, there’s no reason to force them into another room.

[3] Try to keep the house relatively quiet and free of distractions. If you’re worried you can’t provide the right equipment or environment at home, see whether the local library could offer an alternative place to study. Also, some schools will offer homework clubs, where students can complete homework and seek help from a supervising teacher if needed.

[4] Once you’ve got the study environment sorted, think about when it is _______ for homework to be done. If children are old enough to make plans, it can be worth sitting down together and breaking projects into smaller tasks to be completed on different nights. This can stop kids form feeling overwhelmed(被壓垮)and it also teaches them time management skills.

[5] If you follow the above rules, you can avoid homework wars down the track. And if tensions are rising at home around homework, remember that a little bit of kindness can go a long way.

[2] Wherever you go, and for whatever reason,it is important to be safe.A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people.While the majority of people you will meet when traveling are sure to be friendly and welcoming, there are dangers—theft being the most common.Just as in your home country, do not expect everyone you meet to be friendly and helpful.It is important to prepare for your trip in advance, and to take precautions while you are traveling.

[3] As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork.You don't want to get to your destination only to find you have the wrong visa,or worse,that your passport is about to expire.Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if _________________ during your travels,you will be able to get treatment.If you want to drive while you are abroad,make sure you have an international driver's license.

[4]Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to.Also, try to learn a few basic words and phrases—don't assume that the local people will speak your language.

[5]When you get to your destination, use official transport.Always go to bus and taxi stands; don't accept rides from strangers who offer you a lift.If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in.If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while traveling,make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside.If you are traveling with valuables such as jewelry, or a lot of cash, you should ask about a safe for storing them in.Finally, remember to smile.Smiling is the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the world!
