Imagine this． There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table． Which one would you like ？The delicious cake or the healthy apple？ A bestseller， Willpower Rediscovering Our Greater Strength ，suggests that willpower（意志力） is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term， rather than in the short term．
Here is a famous experiment in the book：The Marshmallow Test．In 1972，Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four﹣year﹣olds to six﹣year﹣olds．In the experiment，each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow（棉花软糖） on a table in front of them．They were given two choices： they could either eat it or，if they waited fifteen minutes，they'd be given a second one （and then they could eat both）．
So， what did the kids do？ Well， as you can imagine，70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes．But the other 30% showed willpower they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow．But then Mischel discovered something really interesting． Twenty years later， he got in touch with the children， who， by then，were in their early twenties．And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular．
Willpower is like a muscle（肌肉），and the more you exercise it， the stronger it gets．So，if you do daily "self﹣control exercises"，such as making your bed or brushing your teeth，you'll improve your overall willpower． And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals， such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon．
Be careful though． Just like any muscle， your "willpower muscle" can get tired．If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower， take a break or give yourself a treat．
That way，you'll build up your willpower again．
And one last thing， the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower． So， congratulations!

Money can make you happy，only if you spend it in a clever way．
Buying a new car makes you happy．However，you will forget this happy feeling when the car gets old．But if you spend a week traveling．It's more possible that you'll remember the great experience，and you'll remember the feeling for a long time．A new study has found that spending money on experiences makes people happier than on material things．
For material things，it's possible that you'll care about every little things．If you buy a nice pen，and someone else buys one with less money，it is possible that you may be unhappy because you spend more money．When it comes to experiences like trips，you won't think like that．If the experience is generally good，you will be happy with the price．
Material things can be compared more easily．If you buy an MP3 and then see a more suitable one，you may regret buying the first one．However，if you have a nice dinner at one restaurant，and then learn about another better restaurant，you'll not regret the first meal．
Material things can cause jealousy（嫉妒）．For example，if you buy a new toy and find that your friend has a better toy，you will feel unhappy．Instead，if you travel to a beautiful place，then no matter where your friends have gone，it won't make the memory of your trip less happy．

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth，but how many do you see every day？You often see the big colourful animals，like birds，rabbits，and fish.But look more closely.Can you see the small ones，too？Insects（昆虫）make up 80 percent of all the world's living kinds.Look on the ground.Imagine you could look under the ground，too.Many small living things with one cell live there.Life is everywhere around us，in every cubic foot （a foot＝ 12 inches）.
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived in one cubic foot .So he made a 12﹣inch cube with a green metal frame.And then he put it in five habitats（栖息地）.He chose a tropical rainforest（Costa Rica），a coral reef（Pacific Ocean），the Table Mountain（South Africa），a freshwater river（USA），and a small park（New York）.Three weeks were spent at each place.He watched，counted，and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size-that crawled（爬）or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing.Liittschwager found both common and rare living things.He discovered many new living kinds，like a strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total，more than a thousand living things were photographed.Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure".David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity（生物多样性）in the reef was in the skeleton coral（珊瑚遗骨）.These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow.Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity，all the other habitats were full of life.Even the city park!

A Story of David Littschwager |
Once upon a time， a young man wanted to go to a village on business．Halfway there was a mountain．Before he left home，his family warned him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he met beasts（野兽）．In this way， the beasts couldn't do anything to him．
The young man remembered these words and began his trip．
He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there．He thought his family's worries were unnecessary．And he became relaxed as he walked．Just at that moment，he saw a large tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once．
The tiger roared （咆哮） around the tree and even jumped to reach the man．The young man was too scared to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger． Full of fear， he had to hold the tiger tightly． The tiger thought that must be a large beast． So it was afraid and started running madly．
People on the road didn't know what happened and said，"Look at the young man．He is riding a tiger!" "Cool!" "Superman!"
Hearing these words， the young man was almost crazy． "Why cant they see I'm suffering a lot？Don't they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death？ He said to himself．

On a June afternoon in 1752， the sky began to get dark over the city． As the storm broke， most people surely hurried inside， but not Benjamin． Franklin． He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite． Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this． He wanted to show the connection between lightning（闪电） and electricity，and to do so， he needed a storm．
He walked into field， and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it． A key was tied to the rope． The lightning hit the kite， and electricity passed through the rope to the key． Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock（电击）． This， he said， proved（证明） the electrical nature of lightning．
For many years， schools have taught the story of Franklin's experiment． Millions of schoolchildren have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth． However， new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact． Although Franklin's experiment took place， more than one scientist has questioned what really happened．It's true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key． But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key， he would certainly have died from the electric shock．
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts． Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head． Many reports suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas，there is nothing to show that the apple actually hit him on the head，
In fact， fiction is often more interesting than the truth．People have been more encouraged by Franklin's spirit than by the facts themselves． But in science， facts should be tested by experiments and research， and we should not always believe everything we read or hear even if it is a great story．

A． Franklin's spirit is encouraging
B． fiction is more interesting than the truth
C． Franklin's experiment is not real
D． we shouldn't always believe accepted ideas

Mr． and Mrs． March lived together with their four daughters． Amy was very shy． Beth loved being at home． Meg looked very pretty． Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy.. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people． Next to them lived old Mr． Laurence and his grandson， Laurie． They lived in a very large and comfortable house． But it was a house without life．
One day， Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden． Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there． They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun． But Laurie's face was very sad．
"Poor boy!" Jo thought． "He's all alone． He needs some friends．" She couldn't stop thinking about him． She wanted to go and see him， but how could she go to the house without an invitation？

Jo looked around． There were lots of books on the shelves．
"A nice room!" she said． "I can read to you if you like．"
"No， let's talk，" replied Laurie．
"All right，" said Jo， "I can talk for hours． My sisters say I never know when to stop．"
"You have three sisters﹣Amy， Beth and Meg．" Laurie continued．
"How do you know this？" Jo was surprised．
"You call each other's names when you are in the garden． Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother． She has a very kind face． I like looking at her． I haven't got a mother．"
Jo felt sad when she heard this．
"Why don't you come and visit us？" she said， "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time．"
"Thank you． I'd like to come very much．" Said Laurie．
"We know all our neighbours except you．" Jo said， " I'm glad we're friends now．"
She told him about all the interesting things in her life． She said，" Besides（除了……之外） plays， I also love books．" Laurie loved books too， and offered to show her the library in the house． The library was a wonderful room． Jo loved it．

Many people might think that if they had more money， then they would be happier in life． For example，people might look at what others have， like expensive clothes or nice cars， and wish they could have the same． But the things that money can buy can not bring happiness to a person for long．
①But is that really true？ Studies have found that money can， in fact， make people happier． ②Instead， it's giving money to others that makes people happy．③It could be buying a present for a friend or a family member．④It could be buying a homeless person food to eat． It could be giving money to a person in need． Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else． How did you feel？ Whether it is a small or large amount of money， people feel happier when they give． This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy， too．
This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as ubuntu in an African language． There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree． The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat． Surprisingly all the children held hands and ran together． They all touched the tree at the same time． The man asked why they had done this． The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one．

A woman bought a parrot from a pet store． However， the woman decided to return the parrot to the shop the next day．
"This bird doesn't talk，" she told the pet shop owner．
"Does he have a mirror in his cage（笼子）？" the owner asked． "Parrots love mirrors．"

"Does your parrot have a swing？ No？ Well， once he starts swinging， he'll talk，"the owner said．

The son started to fly the kite． Soon， his kite was high up in the sky． After a while， he said， "Father， it seems that the string （线） is stopping the kite from flying higher． If we cut it， the kite will be free and fly even higher． Can we cut it？" The father cut the string． The kite started to go higher． This made the little boy happy．
But then， slowly， the kite started to come down． And finally it fell to the ground． The son was surprised to see this． He asked his father， "I thought that after cutting the string， the kite would fly higher． Why did it fall down？"
