People often do the same thing regularly. These behavior patterns（模式）are called habits.
There are two kinds of habits — good ones and bad ones. We can benefit（受益）a lot from good habits. For example, getting up early to do morning exercises is a good habit which can make you healthy and build up your body. As a result, you will not have to see a doctor as often.
Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little and they are formed when one is not strict on his behavior. They have bad influence on both oneself and others. For example, school boys first pick up little bad habits in schools and on streets. When they can't finish their lessons, they copy from their classmates. If they see elder boys smoking, they want to learn to smoke. If they see their friends gambling（赌博），they want to gamble. When they get elder, the habits become stronger and stronger, so that they can no longer get rid of (改掉）them.
From copying, they learn to steal. From gambling, they learn to cheat. At last, everybody distrusts them.
Bad habits do harm to our mind and body instead of good. Some students can't resist（抗拒）the temptation（诱惑）of cigarettes. They think smoking is cool. And they have formed the habit of smoking. In fact, smoking is a bad habit. Many studies have shown that those who do smoke die of lung（肺）cancer more often than those who don't. So by forming good habits and getting rid of the bad ones, people can improve their lives.

【推荐2】Last month Geely(吉利), a private(私营的) Chinese car company, bought the Swedish brand Volvo (瑞典品牌沃尔沃) for $1.8 billion. Li Shufu, 49, chairman of Geely, is now world-famous.
Li Shufu started to show his business skills at an early age. In 1982 when he was 19, Li used 100 yuan to buy an old camera. He took pictures for tourists. In six months, he had 1,000 yuan.
With that money, he set up a photo room. Later, he began to make fridges, motorbikes and finally cars.
At that time, the government did not allow private companies to make cars. Li asked officials to give him a chance. “Please let me try,” he told one official, “It is my dream.”
At the same time, Li and two other engineers began to learn how to make cars. They visited many car factories. They worked day and night to design and test their own cars.
At last, Li was allowed to make cars. The first Geely car came out in 1998. This year, Geely made 329,100 cars.
As a successful businessman, Li is not serious or boring like some business people we see on TV. He plays the guitar. He’s good at basketball. And his favorite hobby is writing poems. One of his poems shows his big dream in the car-making industry. It reads, “How high can Chinese cars fly? Ten years of hard work will make us big eagles(鹰).”
