【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
The marshmallow(棉花糖), a white, cottony, sweet confection (甜食)is synonymous(同义) with “temptation” in the US. This all began 50 years ago when psychologist Walter Mischel sat 5-year-old children down at a table and gave them a simple choice: they could eat one marshmallow now or, if they wait, receive two marshmallows later.
Mischel and his colleagues at Stanford wanted to understand the nature of self-control. If children could avoid eating the marshmallow over a set period of time, they were told they’d receive two as reward. If they couldn’t resist temptation, they wouldn’t get the second treat.
The Marshmallow Test became famous due to a remarkable discovery made some years later. Those children who were able to resist temptation for the reward of two marshmallows grew into adults who were more successful in school, work and relationships. They were also thinner, calmer, more sociable, better at managing their money, and less likely to be addicted to any substances.
It seems having the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important. In the US, there are “Don’t Eat the Marshmallow!” T-shirts, and investment companies have used the marshmallow test to encourage retirement planning, according to The Atlantic.
Many people have interpreted the results of the Marshmallow Test to mean fate is predetermined by one’s biology. But Mischel has just published a new book — The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control — which claims the true meaning of the experiments is just the opposite.
“The most important thing we learned is that self-control — the ability to regulate one’s own emotions — involves a set of skills that can be taught, and learned,” Mischel told journalism website Vox.com. “They’re acquirable. Nothing is predetermined.”
What’s more, he says, these experiments provide concrete lessons about self-control we can use as adults. Grown-ups can use these methods to quit smoking, or stick to a diet, or save money.
Mischel and other psychologists argue that the battle between instant gratification (one marshmallow now) and long-term gratification (two marshmallows later) is really a battle between two different systems in the brain.
（1）The purpose of the “Marshmallow Test” done by Mischel and his colleagues was_________.
A.to know the children’s self-control ability
B.to have a test about the children’s quality
C.to prove “resisting temptation” is a good quality
D.to find some methods for adults to quit smoking, or save money
（2）Why did the Marshmallow Test become famous some years later?
A.Because the test was a remarkable discovery．
B.Because the experiment provided concrete lessons about self-control．
C.Because the ones who resisted temptation in the test became more successful later．
D.Because it proved the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important．
（3）What does the underlined sentence in the 4th paragraph probably mean?
A.You should know that the marshmallow can’t be eaten．
B.You should know that the marshmallow tastes awful．
C.It is just an interesting sentence, and has no real meaning．
D.You need to wait, you need to resist temptation．
（4）In Mischel’s book The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control, he may tell us except ___________.
A.having the ability to wait for two marshmallows is quite important
B.adults can use self-control to quit smoking, or stick to a diet, or save money
C.personality is not predetermined by one’s biology
D.the ability of self-control can be taught, and learned
（5）Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
A.Mischel thought the Marshmallow Test proved that “fate is predetermined by biology”.
B.The ability to regulate one’s own emotions involves a set of acquired skills．
C.Instant gratification and long-term gratification is a battle in the brain．
D.Some parts of the brain allow us to control our attention．

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 Do you know what’s sadness? For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks. Two and a half college degrees: that’s a lot of paper. Worse, I carried them around — and trust me; they weren’t light — on at least seven moves(搬迁). Yet I never once looked at them.
They sat in our basement(地下室), covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they’d wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. What were my plans for them? When would the Big Day come? Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive — only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting of change than I am, finally convinced me to recycle the entire mess. The pain I experienced was also unexpected. I didn’t feel nostalgia(怀旧), or suffer pains for long-lost magical moments of my education. No, what hurt was to come across those terrible papers I’d written, reminders of poor study habits, immaturity(幼稚), and an embarrassing lack of comprehension.
Thank goodness,I won’t have to lug those dusty, dirty things on our next move. But what really happened was a purging(清除) of personal history. At first I struggled with this. The truth is in the record — my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To trash them was to trash the truth.
What I’ve learned since taking this leap is that the lesson is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education has been a direct reaction to killing time during my college years. The lessons aren’t in the documents—they’re now in me. So I was glad to free myself of this physical burden and the mental one too: I don’t need to relive the painful moments, as the lessons have now sunk in.
You might want to consider doing something similar.
（1）What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Books and notes are carried and moved from one place to another.
B.The writer made good use of books and notes again.
C.The writer’s wife convinced him to recycle the entire messes.
D.Books and notes go back to college with the writer.
（2）According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The writer originally thought he wouldn’t go through pain when clearing the mess.
B.The writer was reminded of bad habits, immaturity, and a lack of comprehension.
C.The writer didn’t have a special feeling for the past of suffer pains for magical moments.
D.The writer felt happy to get rid of the textbooks and notes lying untouched for a long time.
（3）What does the underlined word “lug” in the third paragraph mean?
A.Carrying something heavy with difficulty.
B.Controlling or handling something with skill.
C.Going for and bringing back something.
D.Pulling something smoothly out of its present position.
（4）At first, before the clearing, the author ____________.
A.didn’t need to take things with him anymore
B.thought the lessons in the document not important
C.was a little unwilling to tidy his mess
D.understood the lesson is more important than truth
（5）What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To form a good habit of clearing your old books and papers.
B.To remember to get rid of your rubbish every few weeks.
C.To let go of everything that doesn’t make your life awesome.
D.To record your college education in documents as well as in yourself.
