exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: how can willpower be strengthened? if willpower is truly a limited resource, as the research suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong?avoiding temptation (诱惑) is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out of mind” principle. one recent study, for instance, found office workers less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than that on top of their desks, in plain sight.the research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoir of self-control raises a troubling question. when we face too many temptations, are we to fail? not necessarily. researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. the right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down. high motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least to a point.willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱）to being exhausted in the first place. researchers who study self-control often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. but there is another aspect to the muscle comparison, they say. while muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength.the evidence from willpower-exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on new years eve is the worst possible approach. being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. in other words, dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time. taking goals one by one is a better approach. once a good habit is in place, baumeister says, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. eventually healthy habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all.24from the studies in the passage we learn that .apeople have unlimited self-controlbhigh motivation ensures ones successcwillpower is hardly completely exhausteddtoo many temptations often lead to failure25the underlined phrase “tap into” in paragraph 3 most probably means .amake use ofbrun out ofcbuilddincrease26the author compares self control to muscles .ato prove the long-term effect of willpowerbto show the significance of regular exercisecto argue that self-control can he easily used updto explain the benefits of practicing self-control27to develop a good habit, which of the following does the author prefer?a“i will give up dessert and do exercise.”b“i will set three goals this new semester.”c“i will read an english novel every month.”d“i will keep myself from any temptation.”c mycolor television has given me nothing but a headache. i was able to buy it a little over a year agobecause i had my relatives give memoney for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldnt fit. i let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. i realized this a day later, when i saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than i had paid. the set worked so beautifully when i first got it home that i would keep it on until stations signed offfor the night. fortunately, i didnt got any channels showing all-night movies or i would never have gotten to bed.then i started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. for some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it. i had to change to another channel and then change it back. sometimes this technique would not work, and i had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. i actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.when neither of these methods removed the static noise, i would sit helplessly andwait for the noise to go away. at last i ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. my trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but i keep expecting more trouble.28why did the author say he was fooled into buying the tv set?ahe got an older model than he had expected.bhe couldnt return it when it was broken.che could have bought it at a lower price.dhe failed to find any movie shows on it.29which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?aended all their programsbprovided fewer channelscchanged to commercialsdshowed all-night movies30how did the author finally get his tv set working again?aby shaking and hitting it.bby turning it on and off.cby switching channels.dby having it repaired.31how does the author sound when telling the story?acuriousbanxiousccautiousdhumorousd working up a credit score for walter cavanagh has got to be a mathematical nightmare the man has nearly 1，500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the guinness record for the most credit cards mr plastic fantastic a title given to him by guinness world records is also the proud owner of the worlds longest wallet， which can hold about 800 cards but

different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person36one way is to read hooks written by authors from a particular culture. reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people.37another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language.38a person can choose a language she has always wanted to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language. besides, one can enroll in a foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. one can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language.39seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries. food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain deep understanding into a particular cultural groups way
