If you are falling,do you believe they will catch you and help you stand up?Our teacher helped us to get the answer.One day,Mr Morrie came into the classroom and said he had a game for us to try.He divided us into two groups.One student from the first group ,stood in front of us with his eyes closed,and then fell backwards.The second group stood behind him.Before he fell on the floor,they should catch him and not let him get hurt.Most of us were uncomfortable with this.We were afraid that they wouldn’t catch us and we would hit the floor.So we didn’t move.We just stood there and laughed in embarrassment.Finally,one student,a thin,quiet,dark-haired girl called Sarah,decided to move.She crossed her arms in front of her body,closed her eyes ,and slowly fell backwards .She looked quiet but brave.For a moment,I was sure that she was going to fall on the floor .But before she hit the floor,the other students caught her,help her and finally helped her stand up.“Whoa1”We were all surprised ,and also encouraged .The girl was happy,too.Seeing this, Morrie smiled and said to the girl,”when you close your eyes ,you can’t see anything.You won’t feel safe.When you are falling,the feeling gets stronger.You are not sure whether you will hit the cold,hard floor or the warm,soft hands of your friends.But if you are brave enough to trust them,they will not let you down.41.What is Morrie?A.A studentB.A teacherC.A managerD.A farmer42.Why didn’t the students move at first?A.They didn’t want to play the game.B.They thought the floor was dirty.C.They didn’t understand MorrieD.They were afraid of falling down.43.What did the writer think of the girl?A.CarefulB.ActiveC.Quiet but braveD.Careless44.What happened to the girl in the end？A.She fell on the groundB.She felt sadC.Only the writer helped herD.The other students caught her.45.Why did the students feel encouraged?A.They felt they could trust each otherB.They could stop the game finally.C.They wanted to do something elseD.They thought they won the game.BHabit is an action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.First, look at why you do it. In other words, what's the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you'll find that it's not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I'm sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.1.
