Common goals such as losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy food, giving up bad habits, and saving money are just a few worthwhile ambitions that people believe require self-control. One 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Associa

21、tion found that 27 percent of subjects identified a lack of willpower as the primary factor keeping them from reaching their goals.

24、a room with a single treat. Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat. Based on his research, Mischel proposed what he referred to as a “hot-and-cool” system to explain

25、 the ability to delay gratification. The hot system refers to the part of our willpower that is emotional and impulsive (冲动的) and urges us to act upon our desires.

31、tion. C. Hardship. D. Enjoyment. 【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据下文In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats. (在这些实验中,孩子们被提供了一个选择: 他们可以选择马上吃一种零食,通常是一块饼干或一颗糖果

32、,或者他们可以等一小段时间,以便得到两种零食。)可推知让小孩选择立即吃一颗糖,还是等待后吃两颗糖这个实验是有关于“延迟满足”的,故画线部分单词意思为“享受;满足”,Effect影响;Competition竞争;Hardship困苦;Enjoyment享受,满足。4. What can we learn from the experiments made by Mischel in 1975?A. Few children could get two treats. B. Not all the kids were short of patience. C. Most of the childr

However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat. (不出所料,许多孩子在实验者离开房间的那一刻就选择了吃单一的食物。然

34、而,一些孩子能够等待第二次零食。)可知我们能从Mischel 1975年的实验中了解到并不是所有的孩子都缺乏耐心。5. Which of the following behaviors belongs to the cool system?A. Consuming plenty of sweet food. B. Staying up late at night often. C. Copying others homework. D. Quitting drinking high-sugar drinks. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses. (冷系统是我们意志力的一部分,它是理性的、深思熟虑的,它使我们能够考虑我们行为的后果,从而抑制我们的冲动。)可知只有D选项“停止喝高糖饮料”是考虑行为后果的做法。
