[12] A good dose of willpower is often necessary to see any task through whether it’ s sticking to a spending plan or finishing a great novel. And if you want to increase that willpower, a new study suggests you just simply have to believe you have it. [13] According to the study, what matters most is what we think about our willpower. If we believe it’ s a finite resource, we act that way. We feel exhausted and need breaks between demanding mental tasks. However, people who view their willpower as a limitless resource get energized instead. The researchers used a psychological assessment tool to test the validity of the study. They asked 1,100 Americans and 1,600 Europeans to grade different statements, such as, after a challenging mental activity, my energy is depleted and I must rest to get it refueled again or I can focus on a mental task for long periods without feeling tired.
Although there was little difference between men and women overall, [14] Americans were more likely to admit to needing breaks after completing mentally challenging tasks. European participants, on the other hand, claimed they were able to keep going. Based on the findings, the researchers suggest that the key to boosting your willpower is to believe that you have an abundant supply of it. [15] Your feelings about your willpower affect the way you behave. But these feelings are changeable, they said. Changing your beliefs about the nature of your self-control can have positive effects on character development. This leads to healthier behaviors and perceptions of other people.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What is often necessary for carrying through a task?
13. What is the finding of the new study?
14. What do we learn about European participants as compared with their American counterparts?
15. What do the research say concerning people’ s feelings about willpower?
选项
A、Most people get energized after a sufficient rest.
B、Most people tend to have a finite source of energy.
C、It is vital to take breaks between demanding mental tasks.
D、It is most important to have confidence in one’ s willpower.
答案
D
解析
题干问的是最新研究的发现是什么。短文中提到,依据新的研究可知,最重要的是我们如何看待自己的意志力,故答案为D(对自己的意志力充满信心是最重要的)。A项(大多数人在得到足够的休息后都会变得精力充沛)、B项(大部分人趋向于拥有有限的精力)和C项(在完成需要高度的脑力劳动的工作中间休息至关重要)均与短文内容不符,故排除。
