Saying no starts small

'All right then-just one more piece…' Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.

It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say 'no' to something attractive, However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.

Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.

In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow(圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.

Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.

But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor(教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles.　 Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly.

You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.

Like muscles, willpower can 'get tired'. Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill.　 If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge(恢复) your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.

1.The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to_______.

A. prove that girls have weak willpower

B. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers

C. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls

D. show the connection between willpower and success

2.What can we infer from the experiment?

B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.

C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.

D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?

A. You should have a goal every day.

B. Good rest and proper diet can help.

C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.

D. Keep willpower from being used too much.

4.What is the article mainly about?

A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.

B. How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles.

C. How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.

D. How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other.

Dear Lin Tao,

How are you? Right now I'm watching the weather report on TV. It says it will snow in Beijing. But it's summer in Australia now! Our summer is in December, January and February.　 It's really hot now.　 I like summer because my favorite sports are swimming, beach volleyball and surfing.

Our autumn is from March to May. Some trees turn yellow and orange, but many trees are green all year. The weather is warm and sunny. We often go to the Blue Mountains to enjoy the fresh air!

Winter in Sydney starts in June and ends in August. The weather is not very cold. It never snows, but it rains a lot. Helen and I like to watch football games, even in the rain. Sometimes we go to a beach and watch whales swimming in the sea.

Spring here is from September to November, I like spring best. The weather gets warmer and everything begins to grow. Trees turn green and flowers come out. My family often has a barbecue at a park or on a beach.

What about the seasons in Beijing? I know they are really different! What do you usually do in different seasons?

Please write back soon!

Best wishes.

David

Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is“happier”， then you are right，based on a study published seven years ago．It found that people become happier and experience less worry after age fifty．In fact，it found that by the age of eighty-five，people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen．

The finding came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008．At that time，people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five．

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study．His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five．Stress levels dropped sharply(急剧)after people reached their fifties．

Levels of happiness were the highest among the kids and those in their early seventies．

The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns(情感模式)as they grow older．However, women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men did．

So why would happiness increase with age? One theory(推测)is that，as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions．They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences．

1.How many adults were included in the survey?

A．300　　　　　 B．40，000　　　　 C．340，000　　　　 D．103

2.What can you learn from the findings of the survey?

A．People become happier and feel less worried before age 50．

B．People are happier with their life at 18 than they were at 85．

C．Adults between the ages of 22 and 25 have the least stress．

D．The kids and those in their early seventies feel the happiest．

3.Why does happiness increase with age?

B．It takes them less time to think about bad experiences．

C．People become less thankful for what they have．

D．Women feel sadder, more stressed and worried than men．
