Our lives are made up of our habits, the things that we do often and almost without thinking. They are often things that are hard to stop doing. Good habits make us happy and bad habits don’t. For example, we may think eating too much junk food makes us happy but, in the future, we will be sad. Developing good habits will help us love our lives.
To form a good habit, a goal is needed. There are many habits we may want to have, like doing more exercise. Make sure your goal is accurate, for example, to run a race in six months’ time. Start small. Don’t try and do too much immediately. You might give up. Remember that the journey of 1,000 miles begins with one single step! Start with an action so small that you can’t say no. For example, run for just three minutes every day. It seems silly, but the important thing is to repeat the action and not stop! Be patient and don’t expect success immediately.
There are three elements(要素)to form a habit. Use these to help you:
*The signal to do something
Leave your running shoes by the front door. This is the signal to run.
*Doing the thing
Run for three minutes. After a week, increase to five minutes, and so on.
*A reward for doing that thing
After the run, watch your favourite TV show.

So they can: ·make money through advertisements ·spread their own opinions or the ones of the organization they work for ·trick or bring fun to people | When you read news online, ◆ don’t believe everything you read online. ◆ pause (暂停) for a moment to think about what you’ve seen or read. It might be all you need to help you recognize fake news. ◆ look at who wrote or who shared the story, and check to see if the information can be trusted. Try to think about whether or not there might be any bias (偏见) included. ◆ don’t share if you’re not sure, or you could be the one spreading fake news. |
