One day, a poor man, who had only one piece of bread to eat, was walking past a restaurant. There was a large pot of soup on the table. The poor man held his bread over the soup, so the steam from the soup went into the bread, and gave it a good smell’. Then he ate the bread. The restaurant owner was very angry at this, and he asked the man for money, in exchange for the steam from the soup. The poor man had no money, so the restaurant owner took him to Nasreddin, who was a judge at that time. Nasreddin thought about this case for a little while. Then he took some money from his pocket. He held the coins next to the restaurant owner’s ear, and shook them, so that they made a jingling noise. "What was that" asked the restaurant owner. "That was payment for you," answered Nasreddin. "What do you mean That was just the sound of coins!" protested the restaurant owner. "The sound of the coins is payment for the smell of the soup," answered Nasreddin, "Now go back to your restaurant. The poor man was a fat man.

It’s easier to go clown a hill than to climb up a hill, so it is easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones. Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little while people don’t notice their danger. Schoolboys first pick up a few bad habits in schools and on the streets. When they can’t finish their homework, they copy from their classmates, If they see bigger boys smoking, they also want to have a try. When they get bigger, the habits become so strong that they can’t get rid of them any longer. From copying, they fall behind others and then they don’t want to go to school and they learn to steal. And smoking is bad for their health. At last, they become worse and worse. It’s important and necessary for us to get rid of the bad habits in the beginning. Bad habits are formed ______.
A. suddenly
B. quickly
C. slowly
