18．There is a small shop about 200meters from where I live that sells groceries，meat and other basic necessities．About 10yearsa ago，there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a （21）C．The owner，（22）A he would love to help，simply didn't have any jobs availabe，so he kept （23）D the man's office．
This situation continued （24）D for a few months，until the owner （25）B to give the homeless man a job which （26）B sweeping outside the shop．Every single day form 5a．m，the homeless man was there doing the very （27）Ahe could for the （28）B，making it the community's favourite，even though it did earn him pennies．（29）D，the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working （30）C a cashier（收银员）．He was watched closely to make sure that he didn't （31）B any of the money received from the sales．He was still homeless，after all．The homeless man did a/an （32）A job as a cashier for over 2years，and did such a good job that he was promoted to （33）D the finances for the whole shop．

10．"All right then-Just one more piece…"Words every girl has said when faced with That ail-too delicious cheesecake．Of course，many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end．
     It isn't just girls．Most of us find it hard to hold back．However，scientists now say that willpower （意志力） is the key to success and a happy life．
     Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time．The results are alike，according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian．
     In one experiment，scientists told young children that．they could either have a marsh-mallow （圆形软糖）now，or two marshmallows in 15 minutes．Waiting obviously needed more willpower．Scientists then tracked the children as they grew up．They wanted to see if certain children always had stronger willpower．They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives．
     Years later，scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier，happier and richer adults．In contrast，the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs，to be overweight，to have drug or alcohol problems，to divorce or to commit crimes．
     But there is hope，Roy F Baumeister，an American social psychology professor told the Guardian．Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles．Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control as long as we do it regularly and frequently．
     You could start by making yourself stand up straight，speaking in complete sentences，or using a computer mouse with the other hand．Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much．better in lab willpower tests．
     Like muscles，willpower can"get tired"．You should avoid trying to do too many things at the same time，or when you don't have enough energy for example when you are ill．If you already feel tired，you can try to recharge （恢复） your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well．
