Read the passage and choose the correct answer to the following question.

1. People who learn to do something really well almost always have good routines and habits. Take the Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps. Before he retired in 2016, he trained 365 days a year, and he had the same training routine every day. He got up at 6:30 a.m. and had breakfast. He ate exactly 6,000 calories every day. Then he swam for six hours a day. Phelps has won 18 Olympic 10 gold medals and 22 Olympic medals in total. That's more than any other person in history.

2. Of course, habits can also be bad and difficult to alter. For example, imagine someone who works in an office. He goes to a café during lunch and buys coffee and cake. He enjoys so he does it again the next day - and the next. Soon it's a habit, and he's spending more money, drinking more caffeine, and eating too many calories.

3. According to researchers at University College London, most people can make something into a habit after 66 days of routine and repetition. Stopping a bad habit (e.g., giving up smoking), however, can take longer - up to 254 days. One conclusion was that the "situation” is important for a habit. So, if you are going to change the habit of having coffee and cake every day, don't go to the café - go for a walk instead. In other words, change the situation and start a new routine.

-> Why is Michael Phelps mentioned in paragraph 1?
