27、ith causes ranging from environmental pollution to the built environment. For bird species, nighttime collisions(碰撞)with power lines are driving significant population decline. But now scientists have come up with a clever way to make the lines easier for birds to spot, without being ugly to humans.

28、 Industry and U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service guidelines recommended that electricity companies mark their power lines with plastic attachments to make it more visible, but birds were still dying. Biologists reported that 300 Sandhill cranes(鹤)perished in one month in 2019 from collisions with marked

36、o, Walter Mischel, a psychologist, explored self-control in children with a simple but effective test. His test using the marshmallow(棉花糖)test laid the groundwork for the modern study of self-control.Mischel and his colleagues presented a preschooler with a plate of treats such as marshmallows. The

37、child was then told that the researcher had to leave the room for a few minutes, and if the child waited until the researcher returned, she could have two marshmallows. If not, she would be allowed to eat only one marshmallow.In children as well as adults, willpower can be thought of as a basic abil

38、ity to delay gratification(满足). Preschoolers with good self-control sacrifice the immediate pleasure of a marshmallow in order to enjoy two more at some later point.The marshmallow test eventually led Mischel and his colleagues to develop a framework to explain our ability to delay gratification. He

39、 proposed what he called a hot-and-cool system to explain why willpower succeeds or fails. The cool system is essentially a thinking system, reminding yourself, for instance, why you shouldnt eat the marshmallow. The hot system, however, is emotional. It is responsible for quick responses to certain

40、 triggers(诱因)-such as eating the marshmallow without thinking of the long-term benefits.When Mischel revisited his marshmallow-test subjects as adolescents, he found that teenagers who had waited longer for the marshmallows as preschoolers were more likely to achieve high grades, exhibit self-contro

Recently, another group of researchers tracked down 59 subjects, now in their 40s, who had participated in the marshmallow experiments as children. The researchers tested the subjects willpower strength with

42、a laboratory task known to show self-control in adults. Much to their surprise, the subjects willpower differences had largely remained over four decades.Research has yet to fully explain why some people are more sensitive to emotional triggers, and whether these patterns might be corrected. However

43、, the recent findings offer a future biological research direction for the push and pull of marshmallow.32. What can we know about Mischels test?A. It provided a basis for the study of self-control. B. It was interesting for kids.C. It was effective to adults. D. It was applied to primary school stu

44、dents.33. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A. The relationship between two systems. B. An explanation for the research results.C. The benefits of delay gratification. D. A framework to generate delay gratification.34. How did the second group of researchers feel about the outcome of their test?A. It

45、s encouraging. B. Its doubtful. C. Its exciting. D. Its unexpected.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Researchers have grasped different patterns of willpower.B.
