Para.1
As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions. However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults. For example some of them may become involved in tobacco or alcohol abuse, which can lead to physical and mental health problems. To prevent harmful habits like these from dominating a teenager's life is essential. They must learn to recognise bad habits early and make appropriate changes.

Change
As teenagers grow up, they become more independent and start making their own decisions.
However, during this period, it can be easy for some of them to form bad habits. These bad habits, if left unchecked, could lead to more serious ones when they become adults.
For example some of them may become involved in tobacco or alcohol abuse, which can lead to physical and mental health problems.

Para.2
To change bad habits is never easy, even with many attempts. There is a famous saying based on the philosophy of Aristotle: "We are what we repeatedly do." In many ways, our lifestyle is the sum of choices we have made. We make a choice to do something, and then we repeat it over and over again. Soon that choice becomes automatic and forms a habit that is much harder to change. The good news is that we can change, if we understand how habits work.

Para.3
According to modern psychology, we must first learn about the "habit cycle", which works like this:
Firstly, there is "cue", an action, event, or situation that acts as a signal to do something.
Secondly, there is a "routine", the regular action you take in response to the cue.
Thirdly, there is a "reward", the good thing or feeling we get from the routine.
For example, when we feel unhappy (cue), we eat lots of unhealthy snacks (routine), which makes us feel happy (reward) The reward makes us much more likely to continue the cycle, and the bad habit of relying on unhealthy snacks is formed.
Q1：What are the three stages of habit cycle
Q2: How does the author further explain the "habit cycle"
cue
routine
reward
Firstly, there is "cue"...
Secondly, there is a "routine"...
Thirdly, there is a "reward",....

Para.4
To facilitate a positive change in our bad habits, we must first examine our bad habit cycles and then try to adapt them. We can do this by combining the information from our habit cycles with our own positive ideas. For example, we could try to replace a negative routine with something more positive. So, when we feel unhappy again (cue), rather than eat snacks, we could listen to some of our favourite music instead (routine), which will make us feel relaxed (reward). Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good habits. For example, when we come to an escalator(cue), our normal routine is to ride it, but we could change this routine into something more positive by taking the stairs instead.
Q1: What’s the author’s opinion How do you know that
Read to work out the author’s opinion on the application of the habit cycle.
“Aside from changing bad habits, we can also use the habit cycle to create good ones.”
Q2: What’s the function of the above sentence

Para.5
Many of us try to change bad habits quickly and if we are not successful straight away, we often become pessimistic and give up. In fact, the most successful way to change is not suddenly, but over a period of time. As the Chinese philosopher Lao Zi wrote, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. "One step seems small, but it is essential. To reach the goal of change, a person must show some discipline and repeatedly take many small steps. After all, it is not easy to break bad habits .
Q1: With the habit cycle, do you think bad habits can be changed right away
