50. A Bad Habit Dies Hard 坏习惯很难改掉

Maria has a bad habit. She likes to twirl her hair. She twirls her hair with her pencil. She twirls her hair with her fingers. She twirls her hair when she eats. She twirls her hair in class. She twirls her hair so much. Her parents want her to stop because it does not look professional, especially when she does a presentation. It also makes her lose her hair. They offered her $1 for every day she would not twirl her hair. Maria's eyes lit up. She was committed to not twirling her hair. She managed to earn $15. She was doing well. Then she saw a girl twirl her hair. Maria had to twirl her hair, too. She did not care about one dollar.

玛丽亚有一个坏习惯。她喜欢卷发。她用铅笔卷发。她用手指转动头发。她吃东西的时候会卷起头发。她在课堂上扭动头发。她把头发卷得太多了。她的父母希望她停下来，因为这看起来不专业，特别是当她做演讲时。这也让她失去了头发。他们给了她1美元，她每天都不理头发。玛丽亚的眼睛亮了起来。她决心不扭动头发。她设法赚了15美元。她做得很好。然后她看到一个女孩在转动她的头发。玛丽亚也不得不卷发。她不在乎一美元。
