B A habit is an action that we have acted so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are not good habits. People spend many hours and dollars each year trying to give up ( 放 弃 ) these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to get it. However, there are 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(压力), 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!

England is the biggest of the four countries in the United Kingdom. Together with Scotland and Wales, these three countries make up the island of Great Britain.
When you include Northern Ireland (the country in the northeastern part of Ireland) we call it the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK). Over 50 million people live in England. That’s around 80 percent of the UK’s total population. It is a multicultural (多元文化的) country where more than 250 languages are spoken in the capital city of London. Outside of the big cities, England is a very green country and has many beautiful rural areas, such as the Lake District in the north and the New Forest, a big area of forest in the southern part of the country. Music
English people love music. In summer, there are music festivals all over the country. Glastonbury is a five-day festival of music, dance, comedy, theatre and circus (马戏). About 175,000 people go to it each year. People in England listen to all types of music, especially pop and rock. England has produced many international groups and singers like the Beatles, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Adele. Sport
The most popular sports in England are football, rugby (橄榄球) and cricket (板球). Most towns have at least one field where teams can play. English football teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool are world-famous. Cricket is a traditional sport played with a bat (球拍) and ball. It began in England and is now played all over the world. Food
England is a very multicultural country and this has a big influence on the food people eat.

Where did humans come from? An Australian researcher believes that she’s found the answer: river valley in the African couiry of Botswana (博瓦纳).
Professor Vanessa Hayes from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney said she and her team have traced (追踪) modem humans back to small group of people who lived in this valley, according to the BBC.
“It’s an extremely large area, it would have been very lush (苍翠繁茂的), and it would have actually provided a suitable habitat for modern humans,” she said. She and her team studied mitochondrial (线粒体的) DNA (mtDNA) from people who live in south Africa, such as the Khoisan people. This type of DNA is only passed down from mother to child. This makes it easier to trace one’s ancestry (祖先), according to
Business Insider. By tracing mtDNA back through different generations, the team concluded that every person alive today is related to a woman who lived in Botswana.
However, some experts doubt Hayes’ findings, saying that studies like hers are no longer important or necessary. “The idea that we’re looking for a single origin [of modern humans] is out of fashion,” said John Hawks, a researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, in Popular Science.
There are many other locations around the world where humans could have gotten their start. It is likely that mankind appeared in many places at the same time.
“I increasingly think that there probably wasn’t a single population in which modern
humans evolved (进化). If that is the case, there is no ‘homeland’,” said Ryan Raaum， who researches African population genetics (遗传学) at Lehman College, US. 52. According to Hayes, where did humans come from? A. Australia. C. South Africa.
B. Botswana. D. Latin America.
.
53. Hayes and her team studied mtDNA because _ A. it is the most common type of DNA humans share B. there is a new technology to test mtDNA C. it is only passed down from mother to child D. both women and men can take mtDNA tests 54. According to Hawks, Hayes’s study is A. important C. fascinating

A. New findings about the origin of humans. B. New findings about mtDNA. C. The evolution of humans. D. The habitats of ancient humans.. 五、词汇知识

Nowadays, many people in China and Japan are racing against time. They put a lot of value in “being on time”. However, in some countries of the world, people have different opinions on “being on time”. Germany
Thanks to its industrial past, in Germany you are expected to arrive at least ten minutes earlier for any planned meeting. In Germany, being on time is risky enough because your hosts will probably already be there waiting, wondering how on earth you could be so stupid. What will you do if anything unexpected happens, like heavy traffic or a sudden rain? So remember to arrive early in Germany. Saudi Arabia
Some countries care little about time and Saudi Arabia is one of them. It’s because of their long history of desert living where time is not the first thing to think about. It could be that it’s too hot to do anything on time. So don’t expect them to be on time. Moreover, looking at your watch during an event is even considered as bad manners. So don’t get angry with them, either.
Ghana
Most meeting times can be changed, even if an exact time is given, Ghanaians are very easygoing. They think that if everyone is late, then no one is late. After all, what can’t be done today can get done tomorrow. If you find it difficult to deal with, prepare to be unhappy. Russia
Patience is considered a very important quality in Russian culture but being on time is not. When doing business in Russia, do be on time. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful. But Russians won’t hold themselves to the same standard. So, again, patience can be key. How differently people _ 86 “being on time” in different countries 87 Different opinions on “being on time” China and Japan ● Both Chinese and Japanese think it valuable to be on time. ● 88 expect you to arrive early for any planned meeting Germany because of the influence of their industrial past. ● You are thought to be 89 unless you arrive at least ten minutes earlier. ● Time is not the 90 thing for people living in the desert to Saudi Arabia consider. ● Looking at your watch during an event is considered to be 91 . is late.
