D

People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can  be eaten and what cannot be eaten. If you lived in the Mediterranean, for example, you would consider octopus (章鱼) a great delicacy (佳肴)• You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive. On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat—the normally accepted practice in many northern countries. The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives.

No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail (蜗牛)• Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world. There are countless people who, ever since their early years，have learned to associate snails with food.

As my friend, Robert’s flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own. For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden arid take them to him. The idea never ap¬pealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants. Acting on a sud¬den impulse (冲动)，I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bag, and took them to Robert. Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift. I left the bag in the hall and Robert and I went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours. I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner. Snails would，of course, be the main dish. I did not fancy the idea and I reluctantly followed Robert out of the room. To our surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere; they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then.

How to develop new habits

Hard work is the secret to success，but good habits are important for becoming successful in life. Good habits can make us “healthy, wealthy and  wise”.71  A  person with  basic  cleanliness habits who works half as hard as you, or even less,would certainly be more suc¬cessful in society than you. This simple example shows the power of good habits.

Here are some ways to help you develop good habits and remove your bad habits.

(1) Have patience. 72 Days, sometimes even months,of practice are necessary for proper development of habits. Be patient and keep trying so the habit has time to develop. Don’t leave halfway through because of failure. Remember that hard work is not the key in¬gredient for developing a new habit; patience and repetition are the most important ingredi¬ents.

(2) Practice repetition. In order for an activity to develop into a habit, it has to be repeat¬ed a large number of times. Research claims that any activity repeated for 21 days slowly be¬comes a habit. It’s not that habits need a large amount of effort and hard work to be formed.

73 Habits take time to develop because the “activity” has to be repeated over and over again.

(3) Develop small habits first. Try forming small habits that require less effort before at¬tempting to develop larger habits. Once you develop a new habit, your confidence improves and so you can face newer, tougher challen ges with more confidence. 74

(4) Adapt gradually to the new habit. 75 If you presently drink five cups of coffee a day and want to stop drinking it (the new habit), then start drinking four cups a day this week，followed by three the following week, and so on. Be patient and gradual while develo¬ping new habits.

Greek philosopher Aristotle taught the following about habits. “We are what we repeat¬edly do. Excellence，then, is not an act, but a habit. ”

A. A habit ca n’t be formed overnight.

B. They will point out your mistake and you can correct yourself.

C. Tell people around you about the new habit you are going to develop.

D. Attempting to develop tough habits in the beginning may lead to failure.

E. Habits do develop in a month or two if the activity i s repeatedly performed.

F, Don't make a sudden change in your present lifestyle to adapt to the new habit.

G. The more good habits you have, the higher your chances of success are in life.
