【題目】Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.

In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes—trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.

The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (評(píng)價(jià)) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.

The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich. But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask " how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success? " This is to enter the world of human nature.

So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals (煎熬). No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.

【1】The scientist did some experiments to __________.

A. test children's self-control and later success

B. test children's intelligence of ringing the bell

C. find good ways of training children to learn

D. prove that children's education is important

【2】We can learn from the experiment that __________.

A. all children tried to ring the bell for more candies

B. some children didn't get any candy in the end

C. the children have different self-control

D. the last one to ring the bell is the most successful

【3】How long did the scientist's experiments last according to the text?

A. Just 15 minutes. B. Within 10 years.

C. Less than 14 years. D. More than 28 years.

【4】What will those without self-control do at school according to the text?

A. Improving their education.

B. Suffering a lot from boring lessons.

C. Working hard to catch up with others.

D. Becoming very rich and successful.

【5】What is the best title for this passage?

A. Ways of self-control training

B. Experiments on children's ringing the bell

C. Higher score, better achievements

D. Self-control is the key to success

【題目】Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.

Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.

Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.

First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.

But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.

If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

【1】 The first two paragraphs just tell us .

A.Barbara was a very rich person.

B.examples of memory problems

C.Mark often forgot his friends’ names

D.language problems of two persons

【2】When you forget things, you _______.

A.must be too careless

B.shouldn’t take notice of the result

C.must accept the fact

D.shouldn’t lose heart about your memory

A.places B.doctors.

C.chances D.positions

【4】According to the passage, _____ can make your memory better.

A.realizing your memory problems

B.talking to your friends

C.doing sports every day

D.making mind pictures of what you see

【5】The purpose of the passage is to help you ______.

A.to introduce the guest B.to improve your memory

C.to remember new words D.to forget unhappy things

【題目】B

In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh(法老)treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.

Shades of that spirit spread over today’s conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, ”O(jiān)h boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it’s going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.

Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile ,”O(jiān)h that bus left five minutes ago.”Dreams of head-cutting!

It’s not the news that makes someone angry. It’s the unsympathetic attitude with which it’s delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn’t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you’re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn’t ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter mainly told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or dinner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.

Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warming .Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, Oh, that’s all right I’ll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news ,deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轟炸的)person is sure to have.

【1】Why did the writer tell the story of the pharaoh in paragraph 1?

A. To make a comparison B. To introduce a topic

C. To give an example D. To offer an argument

【2】What does “Dreams of head-cutting!” in Paragraph3 mean?

A. The writer was mad at the sales agent

B. The writer was reminded of the cruel pharaoh

C. The writer wished that the sales agent would have had dreams

D. The writer dreamed of cutting the sales agent’s head that night.

【3】Why was the writer angry with his neighbor?

A. Because he couldn’t have a picnic.

B. Because the weather was bad.

C. Because he hated smiles.

D. Because of his unsympathetic attitude.

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Learning ancient traditions can be useful.

B. Delivering bad news properly is important in communication.

C. Helping others sincerely is the key to business success.

D. Receiving bad news requires great courage.
