Why do people drink too much, eat too much, smoke cigarettes or take drugs? What‟s to blame for all the bad behavior? Most people would say that, while these self-destructive acts can have many root causes, they all have one obvious thing in common: they are all examples of failures of self-control, lacking the will power to resist them.
According to a recent study, however, if you really think about it, something about that simple answer doesn‟t quite make sense. In fact, it turns out that sometimes it‟s having will power that really gets you into trouble.
Think back to the time you took your very first taste of beer. Feeling sick, wasn‟t it? When my father gave me my first try of beer as a teenager, I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it. And smoking? No one enjoys their first cigarette — it tastes awful. So even though smoking, and drinking alcohol or coffee, can become temptation (attraction) that you need your will power to resist, they never, ever start out that way.
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to such experiences, can ever someday come to develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, just in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.
These bad habits aren‟t self-control failures —far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.
49. What do most people think causes bad behavior?
A. Being forced by others.
B. Not having enough will power.
C. Enjoying their first experiences.
D. Following the examples of their friends.
50. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ______.
A. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers
C. self-control should be developed when one is young
D. everyone can be challenged by different temptations
51. In the last paragraph, the author stresses (强调) that ______.
A. without self-control, no one can succeed
B. bad habits don‟t always lead to bad results
C. applying self-control correctly is important
D. people can develop wisdom from bad behavior
52. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My First Taste of Beer
B. Do You Have Will Power?
C. Will Power Benefits Us
D. Dark Side of Self-control
C
Grown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding?
To see whether babies know objects are solid. T. Bower designed a method for projecting an optical illusion (视觉影像) of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could be expected to show surprise in their faces and movements. All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there.
Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when we come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land (想像中的地方)?
Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to re-appear. If the experiment took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This seems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted (替换) a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch (更换). Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence,” while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object.
53. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. babies‟ sense of sight
B. effects of experiments on babies
C. babies‟ understanding of objects
D. different tests on babies‟ feelings
54. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, “object ______”.
A. still exists
B. keeps its shape
C. still stays solid
D. is beyond reach
55. What did Bower use in his experiments?
A. A chair & a screen
B. A screen & a train
C. A film & a train
D. A box & a chair
56. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The babies didn‟t have a sense of direction.
B. The older babies preferred toy trains to balls.
C. The younger babies liked looking for missing objects
D. The babies couldn‟t tell a ball from its optical illusion.
D
“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it‟s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For e xample, if in the past, someone in Dad‟s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be …a skeleton in his family‟s closet‟. He really wouldn‟t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica‟s father said with anger. “Your family history isn‟t so good, you know. Wasn‟t you great-great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry for my asking. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica‟s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper, pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica‟s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica‟s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school‟s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They‟re both crazy,” she thought.
57. According to Jessica‟s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.
A. a family honor
B. a family secret
C. a family story
D. a family treasure
58. What can we learn about some Australian‟s ancestors from Paragraph 2?
A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.
59. Jessica‟s mother fell down into a faint because she was ______.
A. knocked
B. frightened
C. injured
D. surprised
60. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?
A. She was very curious about it.
B. She planned to keep it for fun.
C. She needed it for her school task.
D. She intended to scare her parents.
61. Jessica‟s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because ______.
A. they were quite crazy
B. they realized their misunderstanding
C. they were overexcited
D. they both thought they had won the quarrel
