13.In any culture,the development of self-control is important.This ability,which depends on the prefrontal cortex(前颚皮层),provides the basis for mental flexibility,social skills and regulation.It predicts success in education,career and marriage.Indeed,childhood self-control is twice as important as intelligence in predicting academic achievement.Contrarily,poor self-control in primary school increases the risk of adult financial difficulties,criminal behavior,single parenthood and drug dependence.Traditionally,Asian students succeed in part because they show good self-control from an early age.In one study,Chinese preschoolers were six months ahead of American children in developing mental control.Another study found that Korean 3-year-olds did as well on such tasks as British children who were 17-months older.
Self-control can be built through practice.Chinese parenting emphasizes child training,which combines close supervision(监管) of performance with strong financial support and motivation for the child's efforts.This approach comes at a great cost to parents and children.East Asian students study long and hard.
Fortunately for American parents,psychologists find that children can develop self-control through their own effort.Behavior is powerfully shaped not only by parents or teachers but also by children themselves.The key is to take advantage of the child's own drives for play,social interaction and other rewards.
Effective approaches for building self-control combine fun with progressively increasing challenges.Rather than force activities onto an unwilling child,take advantage of his or her individual tendencies.When children develop self-control through their own effort for happiness,no parental guidance is required.Find something that the child is crazy about but that requires active effort.Whether it's doing baseball statistics or making (but not passively watching) YouTube videos,favorite hobbies build mental staying power that can also be used for math homework.

点评 1、要想做好科普英语阅读理解题,同学们就要注意平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力.
2、要熟悉科普类文章的结构特点.科普类文章一般由标题(Head line),导语(Introduction),背景(Back ground),主体(Main body)和结尾(End)五部分构成.标题是文章中心思想高度而又精辟的概括,但根据历年的高考情况来看,这类阅读理解材料一般不给标题,而要同学们选择标题.导语一般位于整篇文章的首段.背景交待一个事实的起因.主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这一部分命题往往最多,因此,阅读时,同学们要把这部分作为重点.结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题.
3、在进行推理判断时,同学们一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识.
