How to Drop a Pant Size in a Week
Dropping one pant size in seven days is a difficult task, but with dedication, exercise and the right diet, you can make it happen.
Increase your water consumption. Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger, and if you are drinking the right amount of water, you will find it much easier to avoid snacking. Look to drink at around eight or nine glasses of water every day.
Lower your calorie count. You can use a calorie calculator to determine how much you need to take in to maintain or lose weight If you take in fewer calories than you burn each day, you will lose weight as a result. As a rule, an average-sized woman needs to take in less than 1.300 calories per day for extreme weight loss, as you’ll naturally burn around 2,000. Exact measurements differ based on age, height, weight and activity level.
Cut the junk food. Chips, soda and candy seem harmless if taken as snacks, but can seriously affect your weight loss, Limit yourself to one or two snacks per day and switch your usual snack foods for baby carrots, apples and grapes.
Break up your meals. If you want to lose weight, try eating four or five small meals per day instead of two or three large ones. This makes it easier for your body to process what you are consuming. Divide your required calories by the number of meals you’ll be eating to determine how large each meal should be Space your meals out two or three hours apart—try meals at breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner.
Doing intense aerobic (需氧的) exercise. You have to encourage your body to bum calories if you want to drop pounds and inches. Running is by far the fastest calorie burner, with the potential for 986 calories per hour. If you’re unable to run, use an elliptical machine (椭圆机), jump rope, or participate in a high-impact aerobics class.

A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift--＄7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially,” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than ＄100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than ＄3 million--they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy, a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents, should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors -- that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
41. According to the text, the Fusses_________.
A. were employed by a truck company
B. were in financial difficulty
C. worked in a school cafeteria
D. lost their home
42. Which of the following is true of the Hatches
A. They had their children during the Great Depression.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一对关心邻里、无私奉献的夫妻。他们把自己的财产留给需要的人，强调人人互助，世界就会更美好。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句“The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years．（富斯一家面临着加入近年来数百万失去住房的美国人行列的危险）”说明他们家陷入了经济危机，故B项were in financial difficulty“陷入财政困难”正确。故选B项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段一、二句“But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity.（在阿尔托和邻近的洛厄尔镇，并不是只有富斯一家从哈奇家族那里获得了意想不到的遗产。）”可知哈奇家族把自己的财产捐赠给邻居，C选项“They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.（他们把自己的财产赠予邻居。）”符合文意。故选C项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.（作为大萧条时期的孩子，伊什和阿琳都有存钱的习惯。他们喜欢货比三家，在购买新东西之前，会经常挨家挨户地检查价格。）”说明他们这样做是为了比较价格，是为了省钱，所以B选项“They wanted to save money.（他们想省钱）”正确。故选B项。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段二、四句“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.（伊什和阿琳从没问过你需要什么。）”“They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.（只要看到自己做的事情能让别人感觉到快乐，他们就会去做。）”说明他们很体贴很理解别人，所以A选项“understanding（理解的，有洞察力的）”符合题意。故选A项。
【45题详解】

C
Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term mon goals such as losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy food, giving up bad habits, and saving money are just a few worthwhile ambitions that people believe require self-control.
One 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that 27 percent of subjects identified a lack of willpower as the primary factor keeping them from reaching their goals. Researchers have found that people who have better self-control tend to be healthier and happier. In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores, and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program. The study also found that when it came to academic success, self-control was a more important factor than IQ scores.
The psychologist Walter Mischel conducted famous experiments in 1975 that were related to delayed gratification. In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats. At this point, the researcher would leave the child alone in a room with a single treat. Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat.
Based on his research, Mischel proposed what he referred to as a “hot-and-cool” system to explain the ability to delay gratification. The hot system refers to the part of our willpower that is emotional and impulsive ( 冲动的) and urges us to act upon our desires. The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational ( 理性的) and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.
Self-control is an important skill that allows us to regulate behavior in order to achieve our long-term goals. Research has shown that self-control is not only important for goal attainment, and people with greater willpower also tend to do better on all sides.
46. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that a good self-control ability helps people .
A. avoid various possible troubles
B. communicate well with others
C. show proper behaviors consciously
D. deal with more important things timely
47. What kind of students does the author think will most probably do best in studies
A. Those having the highest IQ scores.
B. Those respecting the teacher most.
C. Those having the greatest willpower.
D. Those performing most actively in class.
48. What does the underlined word “gratification” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Effect. B. Competition. C. Hardship. D. Enjoyment.
49. What can we learn from the experiments made by Mischel in 1975
A. Few children could get two treats.
B Not all the kids was short of patience.
C. Most of the children ate another treat.
D. Self-control is very important for one’s future.
50. Which of the following behaviors belongs to the cool system
A. Consuming plenty of sweet food.
B. Staying up late at night often.
C. Copying others’ homework.
D. Quitting drinking high-sugar drinks.
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了自我控制是一项重要的技能，它使我们能够规范行为，以实现我们的长期目标。研究表明，自我控制不仅对实现目标很重要，而且意志力更强的人往往在各方面都做得更好。同时分析了自控力的形成原因。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term goals.可知自我控制是为了避免不良行为、增加可取行为和实现长期目标而调节和调整反应的能力。即良好的自我控制能力可以帮助人们有意识地表现出正确的行为。故选C。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。第二段中In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores, and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program.可知表现出更强自我控制能力的学生成绩更好，考试分数更高，更有可能被一个竞争激烈的学术项目录取。即意志力最强的学生最有可能在学习上取得最好的成绩。故选C。
【48题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats.（在这些实验中，孩子们被提供了一个选择:他们可以选择马上吃一种零食，通常是一块饼干或一块糖果，或者他们可以等一小段时间，以便得到两种零食。）可推知让小孩选择立即吃一颗糖，还是等待后吃两颗糖这个实验是有关于“延迟满足”的，故划线部分单词意思为“享受；满足”，A. Effect.影响；B. Competition.竞争；C. Hardship.困苦；D. Enjoyment.享受。故选D。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat.（不出所料，许多孩子在实验者离开房间的那一刻就选择了吃单一的食物。然而，一些孩子能够等待第二次治疗。）可知我们能从米歇尔1975年的实验中了解到并不是所有的孩子都缺乏耐心。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.（冷系统是我们意志力的一部分，它是理性的、深思熟虑的，它使我们能够考虑我们行为的后果，从而抑制我们的冲动。）可知冷系统是我们意志力的一部分是理性和周到的，是我们可以考虑我们行为的后果。分析选项只有D选项“停止喝高糖饮料”是考虑行为后果的做法，故选D。
【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。如第五小题，根据倒数第二段最后一句The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.（冷系统是我们意志力的一部分，它是理性的、深思熟虑的，它使我们能够考虑我们行为的后果，从而抑制我们的冲动。）可知冷系统是我们意志力的一部分是理性和周到的，是我们可以考虑我们行为的后果。分析选项只有D选项“停止喝高糖饮料”是考虑行为后果的做法，故选D。

On Monday, she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC.
“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says, “And it is OK for him to enjoy himself because of his hard work. But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor, she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21, she couldn’t follow the financial principles. Rather than planning for the future, she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently, Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college. As part of the program, Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.
Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community, “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,’’ she says.
51. What is The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story mainly about
A. Durant’s career path.
B. Durant’s hard childhood.
C. Durant’s mother’s struggling to be independent
D. Durant’s mother’s devotion to the family.

A. To share experience of her life and education on her son.
B. To make Durant realize the importance of financial planning.
C. To give the audience advice on how to achieve financial stability.
D. To explain that we can enjoy rewards by working hard.
53. What does the underlined word “imperative” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Enjoyable. B. Important C. Unusual. D. Hopeful.
54. What are the financial principles of Durant’s mom
A. Enjoying now and planning for the future.

D. Donating money to the charity and helping more schools.
55. What made Durant pay attention to the charity program

【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Today, the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家).

【53题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后“he prepares for his future (他为他的未来做准备)”和“she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning (她也想确保儿子明白财务规划的重要性。)”可推知，杜兰特母亲想让杜兰特知道经济上为未来做好准备也是很重要的，因此划线词的意思是“重要的”， 结合选项A. Enjoyable令人愉快的；B. Important重要的；C. Unusual不寻常的；D. Hopeful充满希望的。故选B。

【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的““I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,’’ she says. (“我认为回馈总是非常重要的，所以我们谈论了这一点，他从我们作为一个家庭中看到了这一点，这是我教他的事情之一，”她说。) ”可知，他母亲的教育使杜兰特关注慈善项目，故选C。

阅读表达
Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes. She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said: “I’ve waited a long time for it.”
A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.”
Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员).
At her present age, a grand lie-lowering (俯卧撑) to the floor with bent knees-seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. “I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said.
Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton.
56. How did Leverton feel after taking her dance lesson (no more than 1word)
___________________________________________________________________________
57. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph (no more than 12 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 3 (no more than 8 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
59. What did dancing bring to Leverton (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
60. What can you learn from Leverton’s story And your reason.(no more than 25 words)
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Delighted/Glad.
57. Why Leverton didn’t learn dancing when she was young.
58. Keep/Bear sth. in mind.
59. Health, friend and happiness.
60. The story tells me that we should have our own dreams because we never know when we will achieve them.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tina Leverton从小喜欢舞蹈，但是因为家庭经济条件无法去上舞蹈课，于是在她62岁时终于实现了自己的梦想。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段““As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.”(“当我进门时，我发现我脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。从我开始的那一刻起，就像回到了家。”)”可知，Leverton上完舞蹈课后感觉开心。故答案为Delighted/Glad.
【57题详解】
考查主旨大意。根据第三段“Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员).( Leverton从小就渴望跳舞。遗憾的是，她的父母没钱上芭蕾舞课，因为他们是第一代印度移民，在英国努力谋生。她的父亲是伦敦地铁的一名火车司机，母亲做过两份清洁工作。尽管如此，她仍怀揣着成为芭蕾舞演员的梦想)”可知，第三段主要介绍了Leverton小时候没能学跳舞的原因。故答案为Why Leverton didn’t learn dancing when she was young.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes”可知，Leverton从小就渴望跳舞。遗憾的是，她的父母没钱上芭蕾舞课，以及Nonetheless表示“尽管如此”，说明虽然没钱去上芭蕾舞蹈，但Leverton仍然牢记自己成为芭蕾舞演员的梦想。故划线词意思是“牢记”。故答案为Keep/Bear sth. in mind.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling.(芭蕾舞具有变革性。在Leverton上完第一堂课几个月后的一次医疗预约中，一位护士给她测量了163厘米的身高，比她想象的要高半英寸。她将这种差异归因于姿势的改善。她的肌肉张力改善了，腰痛也停止了。跳舞也带来了新朋友。她遇到了一群年纪更大、更独立的女性，并一起努力获得皇家舞蹈学院的团队奖。当然，还有一种快乐的感觉)”可知，舞蹈给莱弗顿带来了健康、朋友和快乐。故答案为Health, friend and happiness.
【60题详解】
考查开放题。根据“你能从莱弗顿的故事中学到什么？还有你的理由”可回答：这个故事告诉我，我们应该有自己的梦想，因为我们永远不知道什么时候我们会实现它们。故答案为The story tells me that we should have our own dreams because we never know when we will achieve them.

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Peter,
Glad to hear from you. I'd like to write about how to live with pressure.
Firstly, I'd take my problem as an example. I used to feel pressured to do well in exams.The pressure made me out of breath. To my disappointment, the more worried I was about my studies, the less efficient I became. So I realize I just take pressure too seriously. Secondly, let me tell you how to deal with it. I try taking things easy by taking part in various activates out of class, enjoying music and chatting with my friends about fun things. To my delight, this works.
Pressure cannot be avoided. What counts is how to deal with it properly. So I do hope you can face problems and pressure bravely and your life will be full of sunshine.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Jin

How to Drop a Pant Size in a Week
Dropping one pant size in seven days is a difficult task but with dedication, exercise and the right diet, you can make it happen.
Increase your water consumption. Thirst is often misinterpreted as hunger, and if you are drinking the right amount of water, you will find it much easier to avoid snacking. Look to drink at around eight or nine glasses of water every day.
Lower your calorie count. You can use a calorie calculator to determine how much you need to take in to maintain or lose weight If you take in fewer calories than you burn each day, you will lose weight as a result. As a rule, an average-sized woman needs to take in less than 1.300 calories per day for extreme weight loss, as you’ll naturally burn around 2,000. Exact measurements differ based on age, height, weight and activity level.
Cut the junk food. Chips, soda and candy seem harmless if taken as snacks, but can seriously affect your weight loss, Limit yourself to one or two snacks per day and switch your usual snack foods for baby carrots, apples and grapes.
Break up your meals. If you want to lose weight, try eating four or five small meals per day instead of two or three large ones. This makes it easier for your body to process what you are consuming. Divide your required calories by the number of meals you’ll be eating to determine how large each meal should be Space your meals out two or three hours apart—try meals at breakfast, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon and dinner.
Doing intense aerobic (需氧的) exercise. You have to encourage your body to bum calories if you want to drop pounds and inches. Running is by far the fastest calorie burner, with the potential for 986 calories per hour. If you’re unable to run, use an elliptical machine (椭圆机), jump rope, or participate in a high-impact aerobics class.
36. When you are thirsty, you may mistake it as a sign ________.
A. to drink something B. to eat something
C. to sleep for a while D. to do some exercise
37. If you want to lose weight, you need to ________.
A. burn fewer calories B. eat as much as usual
C. eat less than you burn D. measure your weight first
38. Of the following, which might be beneficial for losing weight
A. Fruits. B. Hamburgers.
C. Steak. D. Ice cream.
39. Why are you advised to eat four or five small meals each day
A. Because you are always hungry.
B. Because it’s easier for digestion.
C. Because it will keep you occupied.
D. Because you need more space.
40. Where might this passage come from
A. A travel guide. B. A science report.
C. A medical textbook. D. A health magazine.

A year ago August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but work for Dave was scarce, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift--＄7,000, a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were going under financially,” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in others, it was more than ＄100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money more than ＄3 million--they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving. They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything.” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden. “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy, a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents, should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors -- that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.

Self-control is the ability to regulate and adjust responses in order to avoid undesirable behaviors, increase desirable ones, and achieve long-term mon goals such as losing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy food, giving up bad habits, and saving money are just a few worthwhile ambitions that people believe require self-control.
One 2011 survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that 27 percent of subjects identified a lack of willpower as the primary factor keeping them from reaching their goals. Researchers have found that people who have better self-control tend to be healthier and happier. In one experiment, students who exhibited greater self-control had better grades and higher test scores, and were more likely to be admitted to a competitive academic program. The study also found that when it came to academic success, self-control was a more important factor than IQ scores.
The psychologist Walter Mischel conducted famous experiments in 1975 that were related to delayed gratification. In these experiments, children were offered a choice: they could choose to eat one treat right away, usually a cookie or a candy or they could wait for a brief period of time in order to get two treats. At this point, the researcher would leave the child alone in a room with a single treat. Not surprisingly, many of the kids chose to eat the single treat the moment the experimenters left the room. However, some of the kids were able to wait for the second treat.
Based on his research, Mischel proposed what he referred to as a “hot-and-cool” system to explain the ability to delay gratification. The hot system refers to the part of our willpower that is emotional and impulsive ( 冲动的) and urges us to act upon our desires. The cool system is the part of our willpower that is rational ( 理性的) and thoughtful, and enables us to consider the consequences of our actions in order to resist our impulses.
Self-control is an important skill that allows us to regulate behavior in order to achieve our long-term goals. Research has shown that self-control is not only important for goal attainment, and people with greater willpower also tend to do better on all sides.
46. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that a good self-control ability helps people .
A. avoid various possible troubles
B. communicate well with others
C. show proper behaviors consciously
D. deal with more important things timely
47. What kind of students does the author think will most probably do best in studies
A. Those having the highest IQ scores.
B. Those respecting the teacher most.
C. Those having the greatest willpower.
D. Those performing most actively in class.
48. What does the underlined word “gratification” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A. Effect. B. Competition. C. Hardship. D. Enjoyment.
49. What can we learn from the experiments made by Mischel in 1975
A. Few children could get two treats.
B. Not all the kids was short of patience.
C. Most of the children ate another treat.
D. Self-control is very important for one’s future.
50. Which of the following behaviors belongs to the cool system
A. Consuming plenty of sweet food.
B. Staying up late at night often.
C. Copying others’ homework.
D. Quitting drinking high-sugar drinks.
D

Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions, she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community, “I thought giving back was always very important, and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,’’ she says.

Tina Leverton was 62 when she bought her first pair of ballet shoes. She said putting her feet into the soft leather was very emotional. She said: “I’ve waited a long time for it.”
A few days later, Leverton took her first ballet class after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper. It showed older women dancing in a class near Leverton’s house. “As I came in the door, I found a big smile on my face. From the minute I started, I felt like coming home.”
Leverton had longed to dance as a child. Sadly, her parents couldn’t afford ballet classes, for they were first-generation Indian immigrants, struggling to make a living in the UK. Her father was a train driver on the underground in London and her mother held two cleaning jobs. Nonetheless, she harboured her dream of being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员).
At her present age, a grand lie-lowering (俯卧撑) to the floor with bent knees-seemed to be out of the question. It took her three months to master the move: leaping and landing on one foot. “I love the struggle and the challenge of learning something new. People in their 60s have a lot of self-limiting beliefs: ‘I can’t do it,’ ‘I’m not good enough.’ And maybe they’re not good enough. But it doesn’t matter,” she said.
Ballet has been transformative. At a medical appointment a few months after Leverton’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thought. She attributes (归因) the difference to improved posture. Her muscle tone has improved and her lower back pain has stopped. Dancing has also brought new friends. She met a group of older, more independent women and worked together towards a team award with the Royal Academy of Dance. And then, of course, there is the joyful feeling. “Ballet is all the therapy (治疗) I’ll ever need,” said Leverton.
