　　Uh­oh, the new year's just begun and already you're finding it hard to keep those resolutions to junk the junk food，get off the couch or kick smoking. There's a biological reason why a lot of our bad habits are so hard to break—they get deep­rooted in our brains.

　　That's not an excuse to give up. Understanding how unhealthy behaviors become deep璻ooted has scientists learning some tricks that may help good habits replace the bad.揥hy are bad habits stronger?it You're fighting against the power of an immediate reward.

Even scientists who recognize it find it hard to resist.“I don't like popcorn. But every time I go to the cinema, I have to eat it，” Volkow says.“It's fascinating.”ple for behavior changes may make use of that connection, as some companies offer employees immediate payments for adopting better habits. However paying for behavior turns out, researchers say there are some steps that may help counter your brain's hold on bad habits: repeat，repeat，repeat the new behavior—the same routine at the same time of day. Determined to exercise？Doing it at the same time of the morning makes the brain recognize the habit eventually. If you don't do it, you feel awful. Exercise itself raises dopamine levels, so eventually your brain will get a feel­good hit even if your muscles protest. Reward yourself with something you really desire, Volkow stresses. You exercised all week? Stuck to your diet? Buy a book, a great pair of jeans, or try a fancy restaurant.

　　Independent learning is a basic principle of my school education. At one level it encourages us to work out plans and arrange our timetable, in which case we improve our independent thinking and management skills. On another level, it presents us with a block of work in which we are developing strategies.

　　Meanwhile, we are making great attempt to create a cooperative­learning environment, where we are encouraged to work in groups. Within group work, we are guided to voice our individual opinions, listen to each other and respect each other.

　　Independent learning and cooperative learning form a key feature of my school education and they prove to be a great benefit to our overall development in the long run.

　　That's all for my introduction. We're eager to know about your school life so that we could better learn from each other.

　　Thank you.
