Imagine this. There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table. Which one would you like? The delicious cake or the healthy apple? A bestseller, Willpower: Rediscovering Our Greatest Strength, suggests that willpower(意志力)is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term, rather than in the short term.

Here is a famous experiment in the book: The Marshmallow Test. In 1972, Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four-year-olds to six-year-olds. In the experiment, each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow(棉花软糖）on a table in front of them. They were given two choices: they could either eat it or, if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a second one(and then they could eat both).

So, what did the kids do? Well, as you can imagine, 70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes. But the other 30% showed willpower—they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow. But then Mischel discovered something really interesting. Twenty years later, he got in touch with the children, who, by then, were in their early twenties. And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular.

Willpower is like a muscle（肌肉), and the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.

So, if you do daily "self-control exercises", such as making your bed or brushing your teeth, you'll improve your overall willpower. And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals, such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon.

Be careful though. Just like any muscle, your "willpower muscle" can get tired. If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower, take a break or give yourself a treat.

That way, you’ll build up your willpower again.

And one last thing, the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower. So, congratulations!

Answer the questions (根据短文内容，回答问题)

I, Robot 2: humans vs. robots!

Here is a piece of good news for I, Robot fans: Robot 2 may soon meet the public!

I, Robot, the science fiction action film released in 2004, was such a hot movie that itgrossed（收入总计） $347 million for a worldwide total.

The story is between humans and robots. In 2035, robots serve humans under three laws:

1. A robot may not injure a human being;

2. A robot must obey orders given by human beings.

3. A robot must protect itself as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law.

However, with the development of technology, the robots start to have their own thinking. Instead of obeying the orders as they are programmed, they want to protect themselves and rule human beings. A battle between humans and robots is inevitable（不可避免的）.

Do you believe that one day computers may be cleverer than human brains? Are you afraid that robots invented by humans can surpass humans and conquer the world? Let's find the answers in I, Robot 2.
