11、, about one in seven 2-year-olds in Boston drinks the caffeinated beverage（含咖啡因的饮料）, a new study finds.Researchers analyzed information from 315 mothers and their babies. They discovered that 14 percent of 2-year-olds were given coffee by their parents on average, slightly more than one ounce（盎司）of
12、coffee a day. Some drank as many as four ounces a day, according to the study.The researchers also found that 2.5 percent of 1-yeai-olds were given coffee. Infants and toddlers（婴幼儿）of Hispanic mothers were more likely to drink coffee than those of non-Hispanic mothers, and girls were more likely tha
13、n boys to drink coffee, according to the study.“Our results show that many infants and toddlers in Boston and perhaps in the US are being given coffee and that this could be associated with cultural practices,” principal researcher Anne Mere wood, director of the Breastfeeding Center at Boston Medic

18、 to do with health problems.C. Kids should be kept away from coffee.D. One coffee a day is beneficial for children.BNearly everyone has bad habits. That is because, try as we might, bad habits are hard to break. On the other side, good habits, such as eating more healthfully or exercising regularly,
19、 never seem to stick. As a result, most people throw up their hands and surrender. But now, a book, Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives by best-selling author Gretchen Rubin, offers some useful solutions.Rubin, who became interested in habits during her research on happine
20、ss, which resulted in two popular books, The Happiness Project（2009 ） and Happier at Home （ 20J2）, found that our inability to master unwanted behaviors was a major downer（令人沮丧的因素）. So, after guiding millions of readers down the path of true contentedness, Rubin turned her researching skills toward
21、habits.Change is possible if we do some soul searching and identify how we respond to expectations. And just about everybody falls into one of four personality categories: Questioners, Obligers, Rebels and Upholders.Rubin believes herself to be a classic Upholder, someone who forms habits relatively
22、 easily because she responds well to both other peoples deadlines and her own. As to the other types, Questioners will only form a habit if it makes sense to them; Obligers, work hard to meet other peoples expectations but often let themselves down. And Rebels resent（反感）habits.“Think about the habit
23、 that you want to form and then think： What is everything I could do to set myself up for success?” Says Rubin. For example, if you want to exercise more and you are an Obliger, call your friend who lives across the street and meet at 6: 30 every morning for a walk.One common pitfall（陷讲）, says Rubin
24、 especially when it comes to changing your diet, is lack of clarity. “You cannot make a habit out of eating more healthfully.” She says. Instead, your habit should be something like: “I am going to pack a lunch every day and bring it to work instead of eating out.”As for exercise, Rubin recommends a
25、 strategy called pairing coupling two activities, one that you need or want to do and one that you dont particularly want to do.

31、 to become sorry； instead, I actively planned to do something new and different.Having a positive attitude made all the difference the way I formed the future.
