Older persons also form bad habits, and sometimes become ruined by ___6 .
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great 7 . Many successful

B. nothing
C. uselessness C. something C. difficult C. kept
9. A. possible B. hardly
10. A. forgotten B. remembered 答案：
1.C 根据句意，此空是说“被一种无形的力量驱使”所以应该用force，选C。 2. B 这句意思是说“一旦形成习惯就很难摆脱”。
3. B “因为习惯一旦形成很难改变，所以我们养成一种什么样的习惯是非常重要的”，根
据上下的逻辑，这里应该选用important。
4. C 根据后面“Older persons also form bad habits”，得知这里应该选C。 5. C “as long as they live”在文中表示这样的坏习惯会伴随他们一生。
6. B “老人有时候会被坏习惯毁灭”，这里应该填一个代词指代前面的坏习惯，所以用them。 7. A 这句话承上启下，上文讲了坏习惯给人带来的影响，这里讲好习惯对人很有帮助。 8. C “成功与好习惯有很大关系”，与…有关是have something to so with…。
9. D 这里应该填一个副词，所以首先排除A和C，根据意思，是说这些坏习惯是很容易
形成的，故D是正确的。
10. D “避免形成这样的习惯”，句子用的是被动语态，所以用avoided是正确的。
