Dick is seven years old. He  school this year. He studies very hard and likes sports very much. He is polite to others. So his teachers and friends all like him.

    Last Saturday, Dick and his mother stayed at home. His mother was doing some housework and Dick was doing his homework. At ten Dick's father came back with a  of apples. He had a look at his son and then went to his room to watch TV. The boy saw the apples and wanted to eat . His mother gave him some and said, "Go and wash them, please."

    Dick washed the apples and took the smallest. His mother saw this and asked," Why don't you take a  one, Dick?"

    "Teachers tell us that we should be polite to others and care about the old. our parents and friends. So I take the smallest and  the big ones for you and Dad," answered the boy.

    "Good boy！Thank you," said his mother with a smile.

    It is easier to go downhill than to climb uphill, so it is easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones.

    Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little when people do not notice their danger. Schoolboys first pick up little bad habits in schools and on the streets. When they cannot finish their lessons，they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to learn to smoke. When they get bigger, the habits become very strong and they can't throw them away. From copying, they fall behind, then they learn to steal(偷) , and smoking is bad for their bodies. At last they become worse and worse.
