“Habits For a Healthy Lifestyle”（原文版）

These bad habits, if left 2. _____________(check), could lead to more serious ones when they become adults.

To prevent harmful habits like these from 4. _____________(dominate) a teenager’s life is essential. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make appropriate changes.
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts. There is a famous saying 5. ___________(base) on the philosophy of Aristotle: “We are 6. ___________ we repeatedly do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand 7. ______________ habits work.
According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this:
Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts 8. _____________ a signal to do something.
Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in 9. _____________ (respond) to the cue.
Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely 10. ____________(continue) the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the 11. _____________(inform) from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine 12. _____________something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favorite music instead (routine), which will make us feel 13. _____________(relax) (reward). Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle 14. ____________(create) good habits. For example, when we come to 15. ______________ escalator (cue), our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, 16. ___________ if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, 17. _________ over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles 18. _____________(begin) with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and 19. ______________(repeat) take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits.
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there is no “magic pill” or delete button that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide 20. ___________ some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!

“Habits For a Healthy Lifestyle”（原文版）
As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions. However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them 1. ___________(form) bad habits. These bad habits, if left 2. _____________(check), could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. For example, some of them may become involved in tobacco or alcohol abuse, 3. ____________can lead to physical and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from 4. _____________(dominate) a teenager’s life is essential. They must learn to recognize bad habits early and make appropriate changes.
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts. There is a famous saying 5. ___________(base) on the philosophy of Aristotle: “We are 6. ___________ we repeatedly do.” In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand 7. ______________ habits work.
According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the “habit cycle”, which works like this:
Firstly, there is a “cue”, an action, event, or situation that acts 8. _____________ a signal to do something.
Secondly, there is a “routine”, the regular action you take in 9. _____________ (respond) to the cue.
Thirdly, there is the “reward”, the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward). The reward makes us much more likely 10. ____________(continue) the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the 11. _____________(inform) from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine 12. _____________something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favorite music instead (routine), which will make us feel 13. _____________(relax) (reward). Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle 14. ____________(create) good habits. For example, when we come to 15. ______________ escalator (cue), our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly, 16. ___________ if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, 17. _________ over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, “A journey of a thousand miles 18. _____________(begin) with a single step.” One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and 19. ______________(repeat) take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits.
For young people, there is plenty of time to change bad habits. However, there is no “magic pill” or delete button that will help you; you have to think about your bad habits and decide 20. ___________ some changes. You have the power to build a happy and healthy life full of good habits!
