Kicking the Habit
What is a bad habit?The most common definition is that it is something that we do regularly,almost
without thinking about it,and which has some sort of negative consequence.This consequence could affect
those around us,or it could affect us personally.Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad
habits are part of what makes us human.
Many early habits,like sucking our thumb,are broken when we are very young.We are either told to
stop doing it by our parents,or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same
habit,and we gradually grow out of it.It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in
our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem.Unless we can break that habit early on,it
becomes a part of our life,and becomnes"programmed"into our brain.
A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits,it is the
old ways that tend to win,especially in situations where we are rushed,stressed or overworked.Habits that
we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back.During the study programme,the researchers showed
a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them.They then showed the
volunteers the same pictures again,and gave them new words to associate with them.
A few days later,the volunteers were given a test.The researchers showed them the pictures,and told
them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one.It came as no surprise that their
answers were split between the first set of words and the second.Two weeks later,they were given the same
test again.This time,most of them only gave the first set of words.They appeared to have completely forgotten
the second set.
The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time.We may
try to change out ways,but after a while,the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we
learned.The more that response is used,the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to re-
spond in any other way.
The study therefore suggests that over time,our bad habits also become automatic,learned behaviour.
This is not good news for people who picked up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break
them.Even when we try to put new,good intentions into practice,those previously learned habits remain
stronger in more automatic,unconscious forms of memory.
选项
If we develop bad habits early in life,they are harder to get rid of.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案
A
解析
文章第二段讲到,一些早期的习惯,像吮吸手指之类的习惯在我们很小的时候就戒掉 了。并没有说男孩子们在小时候通常会染上坏习惯。故选C。
在文章第二段中,作者指出我们之所以能戒除早期的坏习惯是因为有父母告诉我们不 要这样做,或者是我们有意或无意地观察到别人都不这样做。文章中并没有说我们戒除坏习 惯的唯一方法是别人的告知。故选B。
文章第三段第一句话说最近一项关于人类记忆力的研究表明不管我们如何努力地尝 试着改变坏习惯,坏习惯还是难以戒掉,特别是在我们忙碌,紧张或是过度劳累的时候,我们认 为已经戒掉的坏习惯就会突然跑回来。故选A。
由文章第四段第三句话“It came as no surprise that...",可知研究者对测试结果毫不奇 怪,在他们意料之中。故选B。
文章第四段讲到,两个星期后,这些被测试者重新做相同的测试。他们只能给出第一 组的单词,他们表现出完全忘了第二组单词的样子。文章中并未提到被测试者发现第二次测 试要难一些。故选C。
文章倒数第二段指出,这一研究证实了这一点,我们第一次学到的反应方式在一段时 间后仍然在我们脑海里留下最深印象。尽管我们试图去改变,但一段时间后,首先出现在脑海 的还是我们第一次学到的反应方式。题干中的说法“研究表明对我们最先学习的那些东西做 出反应很困难”没有提及。故选C。
由文章最后一段讲到,研究表明在一段时间后,坏习惯会变成无意识的习得性行为。 这对那些在年轻时就染上坏习惯而现在想要戒掉的人们来说不是个好消息。也就是说,年轻 时染上的坏习惯很难戒掉。故选A。第3部分:概括大意与完成句子
