A
When he was a little child，Andrew had a serious bad habit of sucking（晚吸）his fingers all day long，especially when he had nothing interesting to do:when he was sleeping，when watching TV，when sitting on the sofa and so on.At the beginning，his parents didn't think it was a bad habit.
Therefore，as time goes by，the boy couldn't give up his habit.Now，in his twenties，Andrew seems to have developed the bad habit into another one:he always bites his nails（指甲）.He cannot stop biting his nails all the time.There're moments when he even doesn't know that he is doing it.He realized it was a problem and this worried him a lot.Some of his friends told him about this bad habit，and he stopped for a while.But then，if he isn't busy doing something，he starts biting his nails again！
In fact，there're a lot of bacteria（细菌）in your nails and they can cause some disease.Also，the nails will become ugly and hard to recover.The worst thing is that this bad habit will bring the mental illness（心理疾病）.If people cannot correct it in time，it can affect man's mental health.
In short，bad habits are very worrying，especially when the person with the habit is in public and cannot stop himself or herself doing it.Still，there must be ways to give up these bad habits and these people should try their best to stop doing them.

We have known for a long time that flowers of different plants open and close at different time of day.This is so familiar that there seems to be no need to ask the reason for it.Yet no one really understands why flowers open and close like this at particular time.The process is not as simple as we might think，as recent experiments have shown.In onestudy，flowers were kept in constant（连续的）darkness.We might expect that the flowers，without any information about the time of the day，did not open as they normally do.In fact，they continued to open at their usual time.This suggests that they have some mysterious（神秘的）way of knowing the time.Their sense of time does not depend on information from the outside world；it is，so to speak，inside them，a kind of“inner clock”.
This discovery（发现）may not seem to be very important.However，it was later found that not just plants but also animals-including man一have this“inner clock"which controls the working of their bodies and influences（影响）their activities.Men，then，are also influenced by this mysterious power.Whether we wish it or not，it affects such things in our life as our need for sleep，our need for food.
In the past，this did not matter very much because people lived in natural condition.In the modern world，things are different；now there are spacemen，airplane pilots and，in ordinary life，a lot of people who have to work at night.It would be very useful，then，to know more about the “inner clock”.Such ordinary things as flowers might help us understand more about ourselves.

A.different flowers open and close at different time of day
B.for their opening and closing，flowers do not need information from the outside world
C.flowers are influenced by weak light even when they are in a dark room
D.flowers can be used for telling the time
（ ）5.The“inner clock”
A.is an unimportant discovery B.is only found in animals
C.has not been understood so far D.has an effect on human life
（ ）6.Further study of the“inner clock”will be useful because .
A.it might help us in some way
B.we do not yet understand plants and animals well enough
C.the number of spacemen and airplane pilots is fast increasing
D.we should try to live more naturally than we do now
（ ）7.Kept in constant darkness，flowers
A.will not open or close as usual
B.will not open any longer
C.will open as they do in natural condition
D.will always remain in full blossom（开花）
（ ）8. have a mysterious power of knowing time without information from the outside world.

Communication here means that people talk with each other about what they know，think and feel.We can learn a lot from good communication in our daily life.Part of the communication is unspoken.
We sometimes show our feelings with our eyes，faces，bodies and attitudes.Some qualities can make good communication，including physical appearance，ability to speak，pleasant voice，how to hold the interest of others，and so on.What should we do so that our communication will be effective（有效的）？Here are suggestions.
Firstly，you should be yourself.Successful people never change personal character from one situation to another.They're the same whether they're having a talk with their close friends or being interviewed for a job.They communicate with their whole being.
Secondly，whether you're talking to one person or more，always remember to look at them.Don't break eye contact while talking.As you enter a room，move your eyes comfortably，then look directly at those in the room and smile.This shows clearly that you are relaxed.Smiling is important.The best kind of smile and eye contact is gentle and comfortable.
You should also gather information about other people.When you attend a meeting or an interview，don't immediately（立即）start throwing your ideas.Stop for a second.Know what's going on there.What's the mood of the others-are they down，up or happy？Do they want to learn from you, or do they show any interest If you can feel what's happening to others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.
The fourth suggestion is that you get your energy up. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about it. You walk calmly through the doorway. Pay attention to the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when yousincerely believe something. Always be confident. The audience may disagree with you, but they can't question your belief.
Lastly,I would like to remind that you should not be too serious.That is to lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say"I"too often Do you complain often If you answered "yes"to even one of the two questions, you need to be more relaxed.
How to make our 1 effective
Suggestions What you should do What you shouldn't do
