country or the world. they are prepared for desk use or travel use.desk atlases are made for different groups of people with different needs. for example, students may use desk atlases to help learn

may eat the whole thing in the end.it isnt just girls. most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive. however, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on peoples lives for a long time. the results are similar, according to an article on february 7 in the guardian, a famous british newspaper.in one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (圆形软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. waiting obviously needed more willpower. scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. they wanted to see if some 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. oppositely, 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 social problems.but there is hope, roy f baumeister, an american social psychology(心理学) professor (教授) told the guardian. baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）. even a little practice can strengthen（加强） our overall self-control if we do it regularly. 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 laboratory willpower tests.like muscles, willpower can “get tired”. dont try to do too many things at the same time, or when you dont 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 nights sleep and by eating well. 34. the example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to a. prove that girls have weak willpowerb. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers c. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsd. show the connection between willpower and success 35. what can we infer from the experiment? a. the scientists had already known the results before the experiment. b. it showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life. c. the children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives. d. the children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower. 36. which of the following is not mentioned about the training of willpower?a. you should have a goal every day. b. good rest and proper diet can help.c. willpower needs to be exercised regularly.d. keep willpower from being used too much. 37. what is the article mainly about? a. how willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.b. how willpower affects peoples lives and how it is similar to muscles.c. how willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.d. how willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other第 ii 卷 （主观题 共40分）四、词汇运用 （本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(a) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。1. the
