A habit that I like about myself is that I am a sports girl who does sports regularly. Every day after school at 5:30, the first thing for me to do is not laying on my bed and watch TV drama, but doing sports, like running around the whole campus. According to a recent research, scientists notice that when people are doing sports, their body will emit a certain type of nuerontransmitter called dopamine. It is the keep element for people to feel thrilled and excited. I believe that is the reason why I am kind of addicted to sports. Also, I like this special habit is because every time when I finished running, I can finish the homework much more efficiently, and focus more on the things I am doing. For instance, it normally takes me 5 minutes to figure out a math task. However, when I have done some sports before that, it only takes me far more less than 5 minute to figure out a task. Since I can focus well. Besides, doing sports will not only benefit you psychologically, but also physically, it is really good for your health. Running can improve your immunity and physical strength. 

So that's why I really appreciate that I can do sports so frequently and regularly.

The thing that I really want to talk about is a book about a  Philosophy question--The trolley problem, that I just finished reading.

It is a hundred years old ethic questions that many world-known philosopher can't even solve. To describe it simply, that is a trolley is driving in a high speed toward the fork of a track. One one track, there are five person tied up by the rope, they cannot move at all. On another side of the track, there is a single person walking on it and doesn't aware that the trolley is coming. If you are the drive of that trolley, you can have two options, to drive toward the five person that are tied together, to save that pedestrian,  or you can drive toward the single pedestrian to save 5 people. And these two options are related to two kinds of isms. The one is called the 'utilitarianism', and another is called the 'Kantism'. In case of utilitarianism, the driver is gonna save the five people that are tied together, and drive toward the single person, as he/she can save as more people as itself can. That is also the option that most people prefer. People's common mind are like, to save more people, to gain more benefits. However, is it fair for that pedestrian if the driver kill he /she?  While sometimes, it also depends on the gender of people, since in the period that the 'trolley problem happened, it is not an age for Feminism, the driver will probably choose to save the single person if the tied up people are mostly female. 

There are truly many factors that are gonna determine the result of this question. That is why this question has not been solved for hundred of years.
