From a very early age,some children exhibit better

self-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.

From the first two paragraphs we learn that         .

A.the research has been carried out for five years

B.self-control in kids tends to determine their future

C.self-control was assessed by children’s intelligence

D.children’s self-control is almost the same at early age

Children with low self-control are more likely to         .

A.become wealthy in later life      B.get good school performance

C.have better financial planning    D.adopt negative behaviors

According to Moffitt,        .

A.only good genetic factors can shape their lives in the future

B.scientists know well why some children have better self-control

C.self-control in childhood has nothing to do with criminal activity

D.willpower as a child really influences people’s chances of adulthood

What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Self-control cannot be taught in schools.

B.The study is restricted within few participants.

C.It’s never too late to deal with self-control problems.

D.Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.

.Which of the following might be the best title of the  passage?

A.Child’s self control predicts future health,success

B.Kids are encouraged to take risks at an early age

C.Children’s development cannot be changed by teachers

D.How to teach the kids a bit of self-control in schools

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died.As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him.But the more I tried, the more he pulled away.When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year.At this rate he would never graduate.I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him.Nothing worked.

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help.“Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope.I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”

I was at work when I got a phone call.A man introduced himself as the headmaster.“I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger.“I love my son but I just don’t know what to do.I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked.It’s out of my hands.“For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line.The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.

Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades.Finally, he even made the honor roll .In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl.I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around.On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded.“That was me.I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you.That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and ______.

       A.preferred to stay alone at home             B.lost interest in any activity

       C.refused to talk to others                        D.began to dislike his mother

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California's beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark's dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it?
Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton (岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7,000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You're on your way.”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway (摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
【小题1】What had Mark Wellman long desired to do?

A.To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.

B.He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
C.He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.

【小题3】What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb?
A.He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
A lot of management training each year for Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. Among the topics we address in our course is the retention(保护力) of quality employees-a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale(标准)in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants(参加者), “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time back a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a $19 baseball glove.”
Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an interim(临时的) position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.
Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we can’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”
The thoughtfulness, empathy and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.
56.Among many of the problems in the service industry, what is talked about in this passage, is___
A.how to ensure his employees’ high pay
B.how to attract more customers
C.how to look carefully after the employees
D.how to keep the good employees from leaving
57.Although a new manager, Cynthia would do her job well in keeping quality employees because she________.
A.had mastered all the courses for the manager
B.had already formed good relationship with the employees
C.know the way how to deal with her employees
D.had her own personal experience
58.This passage shows us that to run a business well it is necessary for managers to let their employees know________
A.how much they can get for their job.
B.what good positions they can get later
C.they are very necessary to the business  
D.they are nice as well as useful
59.The story told in this passage tells us that employees care about____________   
A.only how large a pay they can get
B.love from the managing people rather than only money
C.if their children could be properly taken care of
D.what position they can be offered
