16、 study that began with about 1,000 children in New Zealand has tracked how a childs low self-control can predict poor health,money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.Researchers have been studying this group of children for many years now.They observed the level of self-control
17、 the youngsters displayed.Parents,teachers,even the kids themselves,scored the youngsters on measures like“acting before thinking”and“Persistence in reaching goals.”The study led by Moffitt of Duke University and colleagues followed 1,000 children from birth to age 32 in Dunedin,New Zealand.“The chi
18、ldren who had the lowest self-control when they were age three to ten,later on had the most health problems in their 30s,”Moffitt said,“and they had the worst financial 4 situation.They were more likely to have a criminal record and to be raising a child as a single parent on a very low income.”Moff
19、itt explained that self-control problems were widely observed,and werent just a feature of a small group of misbehaving kids.Moffitt said its still unclear why some children have better self-control than others,though she said other researchers have found that its mostly a learned-behavior,with rela
20、tively little genetic influence.But good self-control can be set to run in families because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and successful parents.But the good news,Moffitt said,is that self-control can be taught by parents,and through school education.36.Fro

23、trol problems.D.Good parenting can improve self-control and life success.B There are many things that influence whether someone has a quiet voice or a loud voice.Physical factors at work include the size of the persons“voice box”,the amount of breath support the speaker provides and the size of the
24、speakers lungs.Other factors such as the pitch of the voice(too high or too low)influence how well peoples voices are heard,particularly in a crowd.Personality features are at work here,too.People who are not confident or who are fearful in social situations can find they speak more quietly than the
25、y wish they did.In your case,since people are always telling you to speak up,you may be anxious when you speak,which may cause you to become more murmurous.There are several things that might help you.Professional people have lots of skills to improve the voice so that people with quiet voices can b
26、e heard more easily.It also sounds as if“shyness”is something you see as a problem as well.It might be 5 helpful to take a“confidence training”or“social skills”class to learn how to overcome some of the shyness.You might find that this“speaking too quietly”problem disappears when you feel more self-
27、confident.Some actors report that they are shy people and that acting helps them overcome this anxiety.Acting coaches work with people to help them overcome their public shyness and they often are experts at helping people be heard loudly.No matter how you decide to do it,we encourage you to ask for
28、 help with this worry.Learning to be confident and to be heard is very important.Becoming“confident”doesnt mean that you will become“too loud.”It only means you will be able to express your views and receive others attention.39.The first paragraph mainly tells us _.A.what the voice box is B.which fa

32、d kept asking him why.He always answered,“Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish”,I remember being even more upset then because,“Im not a fish!”I didnt know how to think like a fish.Besides,I reasoned,how could what I think influence what a fish does?来源 As I got a little older
