AA habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking.

Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to followFirst, 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.

The Tibet Autonomous Region which enjoys over 3000 hours of sunlight every year has become the most important place in the country in terms of solar energy development and use. Thanks to the development of solar energy, electricity has become available to 200,000 people in Tibet. Solar energy is also used for heating and cooking. Using solar energy can save Tibet 135,000 tons of coal every year. Do you know what solar energy is? What is solar cooking?Solar energy is often used to heat houses directly (the sun enters through the windows, and makes the rooms warm). Solar energy is also often used to heat water (a solar collector is put in direct sunlight, and heats the water in the water tank)．Solar cookers use no electricity or gas, need no firewood, and produce no air pollution. The simplest type of solar cooker is a box cooker: an insulted box painted black on the inside and covered with glass or plastic. Sunlight enters the box and heats the food inside. A simple cooker can be made out of cardboard, and can reach temperatures over 250F. A higher—quality cooker can reach temperatures up to 425 F.Besides cooking food, solar cookers can also be used to purify drinking water, and heat water for laundry. Solar energy can make people’s lives much better.44．From the first paragraph，we knowthatTibet .A.has plenty ofsunlight．B.has 200,000citizens.C.Produces 135,000 tons of coal everyyear．D.is the first to use solar energy in theworld．45．In the passage, we are told that solar energy can do all of thefollowingEXCEPT .A.save coalB. heat thehouseC.produceelectricityD.purifywater46．A high—qualitysolarcooker .A. is a box paintedblack outsideB. is made of plastic orglassC. produces noairpollutionD. reaches temperatures up to250F.COn June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of theSix Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are certain that you mean to do us good by your suggestion; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be displeased if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northernprovinces:They were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad manners, and they knew little of every means of living in the woods -- they were totally good for nothing.We are, however, not the less obliged for your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.47.The passageisabout .A.the talk between the Indians and theofficialsB.the colleges of the northernprovincesC.the educational values of theIndiansD.the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenthcentury48.The Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter seems tobeto .A.politely refuse afriendlyofferB. express their opinions on equaltreatmentC. showtheirprideD. describe Indiancustoms49.According to the letter, the Indiansbelievedthat .A.it would be better for their boys to receive someschoolingB.they were being insulted by theofferC.they knew more about science than theofficialsD.they had better way of educating youngmen50.Different from the officials’ view of education, theIndiansthought .A.young women should also beeducatedB.they had different goals ofeducationC.they taught different branches ofscienceD.they should teach the sons of the officialsfirst五、信息还原（共5 小题；每小题1 分，满分5 分）根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
