If you are a psychology enthusiast, you have probably heard of the famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test. In this task, kids are given a single treat, such as a marshmallow, and are told that they can eat that marshmallow now, or they can wait a little while, and have two marshmallows instead. Some kids eat the marshmallow immediately, but most try their best to wait for the experimenter to come back with two marshmallows.
Wait times in the marshmallow test came to be seen as indicators of self-control. But what if the behavior in the marshmallow test has more to do with cultural norms (准则) than self-control A 2022 study by Yanaoka tested the idea that children may decide how long to wait for rewards based on what they are accustomed to waiting for in their culture. In the United States (with some exceptions), there is no widespread custom of waiting until everyone is served to eat your food. However, in Japan, there is a mealtime custom of waiting until everyone has been served before anyone digs in.
Because of this difference in norms, the researchers assumed that Japanese children would wait longer in the marshmallow test than the American children. This is exactly what they found. The researchers did a clever follow-up experiment. They found one field where children in the U.S. are accustomed to waiting longer than Japanese children are: Opening presents. In the U.S., gifts are usually given on special occasions, such as birthdays and Christmas. On these occasions, children usually have to wait before they can open their presents. In Japan, however, gift-giving happens more often, and children usually open presents immediately.
Given these cultural differences, Yanaoka expected that if they ran the marshmallow test with Japanese and American kids, but they replaced marshmallows with packaged gifts, then American kids would wait longer to open them. Once again, their assumption was correct. When the potential rewards were packaged gifts instead of food, American children waited 15 minutes on average, and Japanese children waited about four minutes on average.
This is a powerful result because it demonstrates the importance of culture and habit in shaping behavior. If a child waits only four minutes before giving up on two marshmallows but then waits almost four times longer to open a gift, can we really say that that child lacks self-control I don’t think so.
What is the main factor that influences children’s behavior in the experiments
Self-control. B. Parental influence.
C. Cultural norms. D. Reward preferences.
29. What did the study find about American children
A. They often receive gifts. B. They display higher self-control.
C. They prefer gifts to food rewards. D. They tend to wait longer to open gifts.
30. How did Yanaoka conduct the follow-up experiment
A. By referring to data. B. By making a comparison.
C. By introducing a concept. D. By presenting an argument.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards Yariaoka’s study
A. Critical. B. Unclear. C. Skeptical. D. Approving.
D
Lisa Gautier receives nearly a dozen parcels of human hair every day. With her San-Francisco-based non-profit organization Matter of Trust, Gautier turns donated hair into mats used to soak up oil spills on land, and booms(long tubes)used for spills at sea.
A standard way to clean up oil from land is to use mats made from polypropylene(聚丙烯). But polypropylene is a non-biodegradable plastic, and producing it ultimately means more drilling for oil. Hair, by contrast, is an environmentally friendly resource that can soak up around five times its weight in oil, according to Matter of Trust, and it is abundant.
Oil spills can pollute drinking water, endanger public health, harm plants and wildlife, and damage the economy. According to Gautier, the spills that hit the headlines only make up 5% of global oil pollution.
Megan Murray, an environmental biologist at the University of Technology Sydney, develops sustainable technologies to tackle oil spills. Her research indicates that as well as being biodegradable, human hair is often just as effective as polypropylene, and in some circumstances even better. “The hair mats are very beneficial to land spills,” says Murray but adds that when raw oil is spilled on beach sand, it is very difficult to absorb it using any of the materials she has tested. Another advantage of hair is that it costs less than conventional materials and is “globally available as a recycled material,” she says.
However, Murray cautions that hair mats are not a perfect solution, because they are single-use, and can only be dealt with by burning or by burying into soil which then isn’t suitable for growing food. She is now researching methods to extract the oil from a used hair mat, meaning both can be reused.
As the hair mat designs aren’t under patent, other groups have begun producing their own mats and booms. Gautier is pleased to see the movement growing. “Anyone can make a hair mat,” she says. “It creates green jobs, it cleans water, it reduces waste in landfill, and it’s promoting renewable resources.”
What do we know about polypropylene according to the passage
It is environmentally friendly.
B. People need more oil to produce it.
C. It can soak up around five times its weight in oil.
D. People seldom use mats made from it to clean up oil from land.
33. What does Megan Murray think of the hair mats
A. Hair mats do no harm to soil after being burnt.
B. People spend more to make hair mats than conventional materials.
C. The effect of hair mats on terrestrial(陆地上的)spills is not very good.
D. Hair mats are not a perfect solution because they can’t be recycled now.
34. What can we infer from the passage
A. Most oil-spill events have received widespread media coverage.
B. Lisa Gautier donated her hair to soak up oil spills on land and at sea.
C. There are many other materials used to treat oil spills on beach sand besides hair.
D. Megan Murray goes all out to make the hair mats and the oil extracted from them reused.
What is the best title for the text
Human Hair Is Being Used to Clean Up Oil Spills.
A Perfect Recycled Material—Human Hair.
Take Action to Make Hair Mats And Booms.
How to Tackle Oil Spills.

Years of observing people at college and at work have led us to discover some specific reasons why many people are unable to learn quickly and efficiently. __ 36 :
Struggle to Start Learning Something From Scratch
As you’ve probably experienced yourself, sometimes when wanting to learn something new, 37 . For example, you might have wanted to learn how to play chess, but didn’t know the best way to start this. So you tried learning from multiple sources at the same time: books, videos, friends and family members. The problem with this scattered approach is that you will find it hard to focus and you’ll unavoidably be given conflicting advice — which is unhelpful when you’re starting out.
__ 38
Think back for a moment to when you were at school. I’m sure there were endless times when you were taught things by teachers only for you to forget the information within weeks, days or even minutes! And of course, 39 . How many times have you been in meetings where important things have been said only for half the attendees to forget the details soon after the meeting concluded
Struggle to Put What You’ve Learned Into Practice
__ 40 . They spend all their time learning theory, but never put anything into practice. For example, consider for a moment how people learn to ride a bicycle. In most cases, a parent or elder sibling would tell you the steps you need to take to successfully get on and begin riding a bike. However, it’s only when you attempt to ride a bike for the first time that the real learning begins!
Struggle to Continue Your Learning
Struggle to Recall What You’ve Learned
you find yourself not knowing where to start
Here are some tips for you to overcome learning blockers
this problem continues from education into the workplace
See if you can spot yourself in any or all of these learning blockers
This is one of the most common reasons for people failing to learn new things
