Then Alice saw a small glass table．There was a little golden key on it．She picked it up and put it all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them．She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door，a very small one．She put the key in the lock．It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it．At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden．It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains．
"Oh，how beautiful!" she said．"I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door．"
She walked back to the table．There was a bottle on it now．
"I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before，"she said ，a little confused．
She put down the key and picked up the bottle．She read the words "DRINK ME"on it．Alice wasn't a stupid girl．She didn't drink it immediately．First she looked at the bottle carefully．There wasn' t a label on it that said" POISON"．
So she put the bottle to her lips and drank．
"Mmm， it's nice，"she said．It tasted like cherry tart，pineapple，roast turkey and toast﹣all the things that she liked to eat﹣so she drank some more．And some more．Soon the bottle was empty．
"What a curious feeling，"she said．"I'm getting smaller and smaller．"It was true! She was now as small as her cat Dinah．
"Good! I can go through the door into the garden，"she said．But，poor Alice! When she got to the door，she didn't have the key! It was on the table．She couldn' t reach it because she was too small now． She sat down and cried．
After a while she said， "Alice!Stop crying． Crying doesn't help． Dry your tears immediately! "
When she looked at the table again，she saw a small glass box under it．She picked it up and opened it．There was a small cake inside．It had the words"EAT ME"on it．She put a small piece of it in her mouth．
"If I grow bigger I can reach the key，"she thought． "And if I grow smaller I can go under the door．"
But nothing happened so she finished it．

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose?
