Ikenga wouldn’t take no for an answer and quickly pinned his son to the ground. The weeks and months went on and the fighting lessons __6__. Ikenga was much stronger than his son and always __7__, but Eto was gradually getting stronger and more __8__, and started to hold his own a bit more.

阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。

It is not enough for us to say no to a bad habit. Instead, we should try to replace it with a good one. __16__ any behavior, good or bad, is often repeated, it becomes stronger and __17__ (powerful). “Since habits become power, make them work __18__ you and not against you,” says E. Stanley Jones.

One woman did just that after __19__ (complain) to her friend, “I hate being late and it has become a problem for me.”Her friend responded, “All light. Every time you’re late for work __20__ anywhere else, please give me $20.”“I’d go broke! How about $10?" she said. Her friend agreed with the money. In the first week, the habitually slow woman made __21__ big effort to plan ahead and she only paid $10 to her friend. The next week, $20. The third week, none at all. By the end of the fifth week, she __22__ (build) a strong habit of leaving early. Her new behavior replaced the old pattern of lateness __23__ had troubled her for so long.

What we __24__ (continual) do will eventually become a part of who we are. That is __25__ we must be careful not to form bad habits in life.
