Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we 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.（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to A . prove that girls have weak willpowerB . introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC . show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD . show the connection between willpower and success（2）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.（3）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.（4）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 other18. （8分）阅读理解 （1）Paul and Rose talk on the WeChat .

Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article shed read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.The only problem was that she wasnt sure how to help.

But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing?

Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster about it, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again.

We asked some eReaders owners to give us their opinions. There are many things that people like about eReaders. eReaders are really light, weighing less than most paperbacks, said Nathan Jones, a market researcher. You can hold the book and turn the pages with one hand. An eReader is definitely more comfortable to read in bed or if youre lying on a sofa, plus mines got a light so I can read in bed at night without disturbing my partner. Another big advantage is that you can store hundreds of books on them. eReaders are perfect for travel, said Kiera Smith. You can have lots of books in one device, instead of carrying loads of books in your luggage. The search functions are also popular. You can look for a character by their name or for a place just by typing in the word. Thats really useful, said Megan Malone, a sales executive. One user liked the function for increasing font size. Ive got poor eyesight, explained Harvey Callaghan, an engineer. But the eReader is perfect for me as I can increase the font size. And Jennifer Saunders said, I like eReaders because theyre ecological. If we buy an ebook, were helping to save trees as they dont use paper. Also, my eReader is solarpowered, so it only uses renewable energy. Best of all is the availability of hundreds of free books online. Project Gutenberg has millions of titles and theyre all free to download, said another user.One of the biggest complaints is that you cant find certain titles. Many books are simply not available in electronic form, said Daisy Madison, an estate agent. If you want a specific book, one that is older, perhaps, or not a bestseller, it wont be available at least, that was my experience. Others complained about the small delay in turning pages. The gap between pressing the next page button and the screen showing the page is really annoying, said Joel Bray, a shop assistant. Also, you cant flick between pages so easily.So, what do you think?（1）What is Project Gutenberg in the 3rd paragraph? A . A history book.B . The man who created eReaders.C . A free electronic book library.D . A publishing house.（2）Which one of the statements about eReaders is NOT true? A . eReaders are environmental-friendly.B . Your roommates wont complain when you read eReaders at night.C . Its more convenient to take eReaders during travel.D . You can look for a character with eReaders by turning pages quickly.（3）What kind of person are eReaders NOT suitable for? A . A salesman who is often on a business trip.B . A housewife who likes reading on bed.C . A professor who studies ancient history.D . An old man who has poor eyesight.（4）What may be the authors opinion on eReaders? A . eReaders have an advantage over traditional books in every way.B . It depends on peoples needs whether to buy eReaders or not.C . People should choose eReaders instead of paper books for environmental reasons.D . The disappointing weakness of eReaders will be improved.21. （8分） Charlie was about to climb into bed when he found there was a light on in his garden shed(棚).
