5.From a very early age,some children exhibit betterself-control than others.Now,a new study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.
Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades now.They observed the level of self-control the youngsters displayed.Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored the youngsters on measures like"acting before thinking"and"Persistence in reaching goals."
The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand.
"The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s,"Moffitt said,"and they had the worst financial situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income."Moffitt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.
Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in familles because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.

解答 BDDDA
61.B理解判断题.根据前两段的a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.可知自制力弱的孩子可能会健康状况不佳,资金困难,甚至在成年后会有犯罪倾向.由此可知,自我控制的孩子往往能决定自己的未来.故选B.
62.D细节理解题.根据第二段a child's low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.可知自制力弱的孩子可能会健康状况不佳,资金困难,甚至在成年后会有犯罪倾向.由此可知,自制力弱的孩子更有可能接受消极的行为.故选D.
63.D理解判断题.根据第四段The children who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s,可知三到十岁孩子如果自制力弱的话,在他们30多岁时,将会有很大的健康问题.由此可知,孩童时的意志力真的会对成人后造成影响.故选D.
64.D推断理解题.根据最后一段though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior,with relatively little genetic influence.可知自我控制能力是一个学习行为,遗传因素对其影响较小.又Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.可知自我控制能力需要被父母教授.由此推知,良好的教养可以提高自我控制能力,更有可能收获成功.故选D.
65.A标题选择题.纵观全文,文章主要讲述了自制力弱的孩子可能会健康状况不佳,资金困难,甚至在成年后会有犯罪倾向.而孩子的自我控制能力能够决定未来的成功与健康.故选A.
