次の英文を読んで、設問に答えよ。
Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones? （Ａ）Few things can have a more powerful impact on
your life than improving your daily habits. And yet it is likely that this time next year you’ll be doing the same thing rather
than something better.
（Ｂ）

It（ a few days / for / difficult /good habits going / keep /more than / often feels / to ）, even with sincere effort andthe occasional burst of motivation. Habits like exercise, meditation, journaling, and cooking are reasonable for a day or two andthen become a hassle.
However, once your habits are established, they seem to stick around forever—especially the unwanted （C）ones. Despite
our best intentions, unhealthy habits like eating junk food, watching too much television, procrastinating, and smoking can feel
impossible to break.
Changing our habits is challenging for two reasons:（1）we try to change the wrong thing and（2）we try to change ourhabits in the wrong way. In this chapter, I’ll address the first point. （D）In the chapters that follow, I’ll answer the second.
Our first mistake is that we try to change the wrong thing. To understand what I mean, consider that there are threelevels at which change can occur. You can imagine them like the layers of an onion.
The first layer is changing your outcomes. This level is concerned with changing your results: losing weight, publishing abook, winning a championship. Most of the （Ｅ）goals you set are associated with this level of change.
The second layer is changing your process. This level is concerned with changing your habits and systems: implementing
a new routine at the gym, decluttering your desk for better workflow, developing a meditation practice. Most of the habits you
build are associated with this level.
The third and deepest layer is changing your identity. This level is concerned with changing your beliefs: your world view,
your self-image, your judgments, about yourself and others. Most of the beliefs, assumptions, and biases you hold are associatedwith this level.
