5．It is 5：45am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa．Following Jane's way of studying chimps，our group are all going to visit them in the forest．Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans．Watching a family of chimps is our first activity of the day．This means （56）going back to （回到）the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before．Everybody sits and waits （57）in the shade of（在…荫凉下）the trees while the family begins to wake up and （58）move off（离开）．Then we follow as they （59）wander into（漫步走进）the forest．Most of the time，chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family．Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right．However，the evening （60）makes it all worthwhile（让一切变得值得）．We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree．Then we see them go to  sleep together in their nest for the night．We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family．
Born in 1930，Yuan Longping （61）graduated from（毕业于） Southwest Agricultural College in 1953． （62）Since then（自从那时），finding ways to grow more rice has been his life goal．As a young man，he saw the great need for increasing the rice output．At that time，hunger was a disturbing problem in many parts of the countryside．Yuan Longping （63）searched for（寻找） a way to increase rice harvests without expanding the area of the fields．In 1950，Chinese farmers could produce about fifty-six million tons of rice．In a recent harvest，however，nearly two hundred million tons of rice was produced．These increased harvests mean that 22% of the world's people are fed from just 7% of the farmland in the world．Yuan Longping is now circulating his knowledge in India，Vietnam and many other less developed countries to increase their rice harvests．（64）Thanks to（多亏） his research，the UN has more tools in the battle to （65）rid the world of hunger（使世界消除饥饿）．Using his hybrid rice，farmers are producing harvests twice before．
6．Why do people drink too much，eat too much，smoke cigarettes or take drugs？What's to blame for all the bad behavior？Most people would say that，while these self-destructive （自我毁灭的） acts can have many root causes，they all have one obvious thing in common：they are all examples of failures of self-control，lacking the will power to resist（抵抗） them．
According to a recent study，however，if you really think about it，something about that simple answer doesn't quite make sense．In fact，it turns out that sometimes it's having will power that really gets you into trouble．
Think back to the time you took your very first sip of beer．Disgusting，wasn't it？When my father gave me my first taste of beer as a teenager，I wondered why anyone would voluntarily drink it．And smoking？No one enjoys their first cigarette-it tastes awful．So even though smoking，and drinking alcohol or coffee，can become temptation （诱惑） you need will power to resist，they never，ever start out that way．
Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control．Ironically （讽刺的是），only those who can control themselves well，rather than give in to them，can ever come to someday develop a"taste"for Budweiser beer，Marlboro cigarettes，or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee．We do it for social acceptance．We force ourselves to consume alcohol，cigarettes，coffee and even illegal drugs，in order to seem experienced，grown-up，and cool．
These bad habits aren't self-control failures-far from it．They are voluntary choices，and they are in fact self-control successes．Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use，helpful or harmful．To live happy and productive lives，we need to develop not only our self-control，but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it．

28．What do most people think causes bad behavior？B．
A．Being forced by others．
B．Not having enough will power．
C．Enjoying their first experiences．
D．Following the examples of their friends．

A．My First Sip of Beer
B．Do You Have Will Power？
C．Will Power Benefits Us
D．Dark Side of Self-control．
