Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on
auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice,
but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In
the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative implication.
习惯是一种有趣的现象。我们无意识地养成了习惯，任由大脑自动操作，且不知不觉在熟悉的常规中感到轻松舒适。“并非选择，而是习惯会控制那些没有思想的人。”19 世纪时，威廉·华兹华斯说。在千变万化的 21 世纪，甚至“习惯”这个词本身也带有负面涵义。
So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and
innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop
new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump
our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.
因此，在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯，似乎显得有点矛盾。但大脑研究人员发现，当我们有意识地培养新的习惯，就创建了平行路径，甚至是全新的脑细胞，可以让我们思绪的列车跳转到新的创新轨道上来。

When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero is not biting her nails just yet. But the
47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either.
Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped
showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I'm a good economic indicator,” she says.
“I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars.”
So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle--brow Dillard's department store near her suburban
Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don't know if other clients are going to abandon

主题: 回答2009年英语一Text2文章题目
文章标题: 中国教育改革的问题与展望
导语:
在2009年英语一Text2文章中，作者探讨了中国教育改革中面临的问题以及未来的展望。本文将以中括号内的内容为主题，从教育资源分配、教育内容和评价、教育改革推进等方面逐步回答。本文旨在探讨中国教育改革的现状和发展方向，为读者提供有关教育改革的思考和建议。
一、[中国的城乡教育资源分配不均现象，造成了城乡之间的教育差距。请你以城乡教育资源分配不均为话题，
解析城乡教育资源分配不均:
城乡教育资源分配不均是中国教育改革中的重要问题之一。在城市地区，教育资源丰富，基础设施完善，教师队伍优秀，学校条件良好。而在农村地区，尤其是边远地区，教育条件相对较差，学生数量多、学校建设滞后、师资力量不足，限制了农村学生的教育发展。
解决城乡教育资源分配不均问题的办法:
1. 加大投入: 政府应该增加对农村教育的投入，包括改善学校设施，提高教师待遇，优化教育资源的配置，确保城乡教育资源分配更加均衡。
2. 发展远程教育: 在边远地区，可以利用现代技术手段推广远程教育，让农村学生享受到同等的教育资源。
3. 加强协作: 城市学校可以与农村学校建立合作关系，共享教育资源、经验和信息，通过师资交流、远程教育等方式促进城乡教育一体化发展。
二、[教育内容和评价方法不合理，导致学生缺乏创造力。请你以教育内容和评价方法为话题，
解析教育内容和评价方法的问题:
中国教育一直以来注重考试成绩和传统知识的灌输，这导致了学生在知识积累方面偏重而对创造力的培养不足。教育内容缺乏多样性和实用性，无法满足学生发展多元化的需求。评价方法更是以分数为主，忽视了学生的综合素养和能力培养。
改进教育内容和评价方法的措施:
1. 引入多元化的教育内容: 为学生提供更多的选择，鼓励学生发展自己的兴趣和特长，开设实践性课程，培养学生的实践能力和创新精神。
