27、   Mark Twain said that “habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed (劝诱)downstairs a step at a time.”【1】

On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and determine to begin to change a given behavior “today.”【2】However, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing whatever it was they thought they shouldn't be doing.

After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not succeed if they start with the change itself.【3】Once you have analyzed all the factors that influence what you do, you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.

According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most emotional problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to themselves when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be.【4】By changing this irrational “disastrous” self-talk into positive statements about what is really going on, you can increase the probability that positive behaviors will occur.

Positive self-talk might be expressed as follows: “I really didn’t study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next test.” Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from disappointment and take positive steps to correct the situation.【5】

A.Instead, we must go beyond and prepare ourselves for the long-term change or that eventual change.

B.For example, you say to yourself, “I can't believe I failed that easy exam, I’m so stupid.”

C.Many people pick up some bad habits unconsciously that should be flung out the window.

D.Negative emotions can’t be avoided and sometimes bring us some unexpected benefits.

E.Gradual changes give you time to get rid of a bad habit and therefore improve your chances of success.

F.Some other ways like stopping negative thoughts can also help you move on to positive changes.

G.Whether it be exercising more or drinking less, we start out with high expectations.

29、How to Survive High School

High school can be a terrible phase if you get it all wrong. Find out how to survive high school with a few easy tips.

Be Yourself.

High school is a fun time to make new friends, meet new people, date and socialize. Make friends with all kinds of people and not just a group which you are comfortable with. Most peer pressure cases are because of the weak image created by freshmen.【1】Don’t give in to anyone’s wants.

Choose your friends carefully and make sure you won’t get influenced by anyone. Socialize, but by judging who you can connect to. You will find friends, but stay away from the ones who don’t want to be your friends as a bad company is tempting, but the good one is true.

Be Optimistic.

There is nothing better than having a smile on your face whenever you can.【3】Don’t be afraid to make friends, don’t get aggressive or personal with anyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect your teachers and classmates and try to be helpful if you want the same in return.

Be Confident.

When you believe in yourself, others believe in you. Talk, walk and address people confidently and this will create a strong image about you.【4】Be creative and unique and learn to set trends. Confidence is one quality you grow with, and people respect you for that.

Love High School.

【5】Make the most out of it, and you will never get those moments back. Come up with frank ideas, get a detention(留堂), top your class, make the best friends, drink, go to prom, party, but just make as many memories as you can!
