A new UC San Diego study revisits the classic psychology

17、experiment and reports that part of what may be at work is that children care more deeply than previously known what authority figures think of them.In the marshmallow test, young children are given one marshmallow and told they can eat it right away or, if they wait a while, while nobody is watchin

18、g, they can have two marshmallows instead. The half-century-old test is quite well-known. It has entered everyday speech, and you may have chuckled(略笑) at an online video in which children struggle delightfully on hidden camera with the temptation(引诱) of an immediate treat. But the real reason the t

19、est is famous is because researchers have shown that the ability to wait to delay satisfaction in order to get a bigger reward later is associated with a range of positive life outcomes far down the line, including better stress tolerance and higher SAT(学术能力评估测试) scores more than a decade later. Whe

20、ther or not its just this ability to wait or a host of other socioeconomic and personality factors that are predictive is still up for debate.A new study, published in the journal Psychological Science, shows that young children will wait nearly twice as long for a reward if they are told their teac

21、her will find out how long they waited. The researchers interpret their findings to mean that when children decide how long to wait, they make a cost-benefit analysis that takes into account the possibility of getting a social reward in the form of a boost to their reputation. These findings suggest

22、 that the desire to impress others is strong and can motivate human behavior starting at a very young age. This is the first demonstation (证明)that what reserachers call “reputation management” might be a factor. “The classic marshmallow test has shaped the way researchers think about the development

23、 of self-control, which is an important skill,” said Gail Heyman, a University of California San Diego professor of psychology and lead author on the study. “Our new research suggests that in addition to measuring self-control, the task may also be measuring another important skill: awareness of wha

24、t other people value.”In fact, she said, “One reason for the productive power of delay-of-satisfaction tasks maybe that the children who wait longer care more about what people around them value, or are better at figuring it out.”24. What does the author say about the marshmallow test?A. It produces

25、 a misleading result.B. It aims to behave children in public. C. It can be used to predict childrens future. D. Its results have not been scientifically proved. 25. How can we make kids wait longer according to the new study?A. By having the teacher prepare the reward. B. By making the reward more a

26、ttractive to them. C. By inviting the teacher to participate in the experiment.D. By telling them the teacher will know their performance.26. Why did the children wait longer in the new study?A. To leave a good impression. B. To prepare for their future. C. To set a good example to others. D. To gai

27、n more material rewards. 27. What is the significance of the new research according to Gail Heyman?A. To teach children to respect others. B. To reveal another abillity of the children. C. To help children better control themselves.D. To motivate children to share with others. CAdulting is hard. Whi

28、le high school students are at the forefront of technological and learning skills, its often not until they leave home that they learn everyday life skills.

29、 Kentucky school is offering an adulting day to teach such skills to students in their senior year.The class of 2019 at Bullitt Central High School in Shepherdsville, Ky., traded in their algebra and literature classes for a day to learn some positive life skills, according to Wave 3 News.“I think t

30、hat the idea occurred to me, originally, when I saw a Facebook post that parents passed around saying they needed a class in high school on taxes and cooking,” Christy Hardin, director of the BCHS Family Resource & Youth Services Center, told Wave 3. “Our kids can get that, but they have to choose i

31、t. And Wednesday was a day they could pick and choose pieces they didnt feel like they had gotten so far. ”Members of the community helped provide the lessons for the students one on one, including local police who taught them how to interact with officers during traffic stops, a speaker who explain

32、ed how to decipher the difference between homesickness and depression, and others who discussed how to use credit cards, how to cook in a dorm room and how to change a tire.While many people on Facebook applauded the idea, with some arguing, “This should be taught in every high school, ” others wond

33、ered what became of home economics.Now known as Family and Consumer Sciences, these courses teach students how to cook, sew and budget, along with other skills. In many districts, however, the classes are electives and students do not always choose to take them.“About time this came back, it was cal

34、led Home Economics,” one woman wrote. “In todays diverse make up of families it would be a welcome addition. ”Another shared, “We had home economics that taught us to cook and learned how to sew. We also had business math that taught us banking and finances. Why in the world is that not taught today
