七选五答案解析
这是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们说明了习惯在塑造我们的生活中起着重要的作用，并介绍了一些成功人士的良好的习惯。
36.G 根据上一句"We all knw that bad habits can be harmful t ur mental and physical well-being"（我们都知道坏习惯会对我们的身心健康有害），G选项承接上句，具体阐述了坏习惯的危害，其中"They"指代上一句中的"bad habits"，符合语境。
37.B 空处位于段首，推测其可能是段落主题句。观察第三、四、五段的首句可以看出，它们均为动词-ing 短语，由此可推知，空处也应是这种形式，故可锁定A、B选项，根据下一句" Mst successful figures spend half an hur r mre n newspapers, magazines and ther bks n a daily basis”（大多数成功人士每天花半个小时或更多的时间来阅读报纸、杂志和其他书籍）可知，空处内容应与reading 有关，故B选项符合语境。
38.C 根据上一句"It gives them adequate time t get additinal things dne, which may include cmpleting sidelines, wrking ut, r just planning ahead”（这给了他们足够的时间去完成额外的事情，这可能包括完成副业，锻炼身体，或者只是提前做计划）可知，空白处要填早起的好处，C选项"毕竟，早起的鸟儿有虫吃"符合语搅，是对上文的总结。
39.F 空处位于段中，应为承启句，结合空前和空后的两个句子并根据最后一句" T sum up, a strng bdy carries a strng mind”可知，F选项"成功的人需要心理和身体健康"承接上文，引出下文。
40.E 根据下一句"Hwever, if yu are unable t cnvey the right infrmatin and message in a timely manner, yu are less likely t achieve yur gals"（然而，如果你不能及时传达正确的信息，你就不太可能实现你的目标），句中的 right infrmatin and message 与E 选项中的data, facts和figures 相呼应。
