Know What the Consequences Are

B.But it's now time to change that.

C.Take Help from Family and Friends.

D.There is nothing to feel scared about.

E.Be firm that this time you'll break free from it.

F.There are both good and bad habits.

G.Accept That It Is a Bad Habit.

1.解析：选F。结合空格后面的句子可知讲述了两种习惯，一个是A good habit...另外一个是and a bad habit...，因此与F项There are both good and bad habits.存在着联系，是对F项的两个习惯的进一步解释和说明，因此选F。

2.解析：选G。此处是一个小标题，应该与下文的整个段落的意思存在着密切联系，结合段落中的信息词by accepting it and acknowledging it可知G项符合此处语境。

3.解析：选D。根据前面的句子Sometimes it even discloses ghosts from the past.有的时候坏习惯会揭露过去的丑事，既然是不好的事情，所以选项中应该说明这并不是可怕的，因此选D，与后面的正视它，摆脱它也有联系。

4.解析：选B。空格前面讨论了要找出你的坏习惯是怎样使你周围的事情变糟。你的母亲一定已经抱怨了很多次，你可能一个耳朵听，一个耳朵忘记了，但是意识到它的可怕后果后，就到了该去纠正它的时候了，因此B项符合上下文的逻辑关系。

5.解析：选E。从本段的小标题中的determination可知是意志力和决心，再结合空格前面的句子中的will power和Don't be laid-back about it.等都是强调意志坚定的重要性，因此与E项Be firm that this time you'll break free from it.相互照应，因此选E。
