A new study warns that mre than a fifth f all reptile (爬行动物) species are threatened with extinctin, which may have a bad impact n the planet.
The largest ever analysis f the state f the wrld's reptiles, published in Nature, has shwed that 21% f the reptile species are facing extinctin. The study says frm lizards t snakes, such a lss culd have disastrus impacts n ecsystems arund the wrld.
Althugh many reptiles live in dry envirnments such as deserts, mst species ccur in frests, where they suffer frm threats such as lgging f land fr agriculture. 30% f the frest-dwelling reptiles are at risk f extinctin, cmpared with 14% in dry habitats. Hunting is als a majr threat t reptiles, especially turtles and crcdiles, many f which are at risk f extinctin. Anther majr cntributing factr is the intrductin f invasive species.
"If we remved reptiles, it culd change ecsystems fundamentally, with unfrtunate knck-n effects（连锁反应）, such as increases in pest insects,” said Neil Cx, c-leader f the study.“Bidiversity, including reptiles, supprts the ecsystem services that prvide a healthy envirnment fr peple.”
Our hpe is that this first-ever assessment f the wrld's 10,000-plus reptiles helps put them in the sptlight and ges sme way t（在一定程度上） highlighting this diversity, and just hw much we have t lse. As well as cntrlling rats, msquites and ther pests, reptiles deliver many ther benefits. “They help spread seeds, especially in island envirnments, " said researcher Hffmann. “We've als achieved many medical advances frm studies f reptiles.”

The cmmnly held belief that it takes 21 days t frm a new habit can be dated back t a 1960 bk by plastic（人造的） surgen Maxwell Maltz called Psych-Cybernetics. In his wrk treating patients wh had gne thrugh facial recgnitin surgery，Maltz nticed that it typically tk arund three weeks fr them t adapt t seeing their new faces in the mirrr. He als fund that individuals wh had lst a limb（肢；臂） still sensed “phantm(幻觉的)” pains in the missing arm r leg fr abut 21 days.
Based n these cnceptins(观念；想法)f recvery time after significant physical changes, Maltz therized（提出理论） in his bk that it likely takes a minimum f 21 days fr the neurlgical pathways in ur brains related with ld behavirs and habits t g away, and fr new mental images and rutines t take firm rt. This idea f a standardized 21-day frmatin perid fr habits sn became widely accepted.
Hwever, Maltz was drawing casual inferences（推断） rather than cnducting strict scientific research. It was nt until 2010 that health psychlgist Phillipa Lally at University Cllege Lndn decided t prperly study habit frmatin timelines. She designed a year-lng experiment that tracked 96 participants as they each established a single new habit f their chsing. Every day, subjects（受试者） reprted n whether they successfully perfrmed their intended behaviur that day as well as hw autmatic the actin felt.
Lally's findings shwed that n average, it tk 66 days befre a habit became a nrmal part f a rutine and felt autmatic. But results varied widely, with habits frming anywhere frm 18 days up t 254 days between individuals. Cnsistency（连贯性） was the key factr in successfully making a behaviur habitual，with smetimes missing days nt stpping the whle prgress.
This study prved the assumed 21-day standard t be false and shwed that a wide range f timelines are nrmal.
32. What is Maltz’s assumptin based n?
A. Carefully designed survey. B. Psychlgical wrk.
C. His persnal bservatins. D. The strict scientific research.
33. Why did Lally's team cnduct the research?
A. T supprt Maltz's thery n habit frmatin.
B. T identify timelines fr establishing new habits.
C. T explre the factrs in affecting habit frmatin.
D. T explain advantages f develping gd behaviur.
34. What d we knw abut Lally's findings?
A. There are large individual differences in frming habits.
B. Mst participants tk 66 days t make a behaviur habitual.
C. It is harder t frm a new habit than t stick t an ld ne.
D. Occasinal stps have a big effect n the prgress f habit frmatin.
35. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T intrduce ways t establish a new habit.
B. T cmpare different studies f habit frmatin.
C. T crrect a miscnceptin abut habit frmatin.
D. T invlve readers in a 21-day habit frmatin activity.

Are yu afraid f failure? Hwever, nly by vercming fear f failure can we achieve success in life. Here are sme tips n hw t remve fear and fcus n success:

Appreciate the benefits f failure. A famus writer said, “All life is an experiment. The mre experiments yu try, the better yu make.” It's hardly pssible fr smene t achieve success fr the first time he tries. 39
Believe in yurself. Rather than give up when things dn't wrk ut，see it as a chance t build perseverance(坚持不懈). Remind yurself hw many failures became successful because they wuldn't give up. 40
A. Dn't take failure persnally.
B. Wrk hard and try t avid failure.
C. Realize that yu are human and humans make mistakes.
D. Believe that yu've gt what it takes t wrk thrugh the difficult times.
E. Making the same mistake again can lead t the failure in yur future wrk.
F. Cnsider hw many peple in histry had failed befre they became successful.
G. In ther wrds, yur chances f getting things right n the first try are little.
