21世纪大学英语读写教程复习资料 Unit6 1. 人们发现科学家能通过观察四岁孩童对一粒果汁软糖的反应看到他们的未来。研究者请孩子们一个个地走进一间没有装饰的房间，然后便开始他这种温柔的折磨。你现在就可以吃这粒果汁软糖，他说。但是如果你在我出去办点事的时候等着，就可以在我回来时得到两粒果汁软糖。然后他就走开了。 It turns out that a scientist can see the future by watching four-year-olds interact with a marshmallow. The researcher invites the children, one by one, into a plain room and begins the gentle torment. You can have this marshmallow right now, he says. But if you wait while I run an errand, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. And then he leaves. 2. 有几个孩子一等他出门就抓起糖来吃。有几个等了几分钟，结果也坚持不住了。但另外几个孩子却决心等待。他们蒙住眼睛；他们低下头；他们给自己唱歌；他们试图玩游戏甚至睡觉。 当研究者回来时，他给了这些孩子来之不易的果汁软糖。然后，科学便等待他们长大。 Some children grab for the treat the minute hes out the door. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait. They cover their eyes; they put their heads down; they sing to themselves; they try to play games or even fall asleep.

A survey of the childrens parents and teachers found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out for the second marshmallow generally grew up to be better adjusted, more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable teenagers. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and stubborn. They could not endure stress and shied away from challenges. And when some of the students in the two groups took the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the kids who had held out longer scored an average of 210 points higher. 4. 当我们想到卓越的才华时，我们便想到了爱因斯坦，深邃的眼睛，蓬松的头发，一台裹着皮肤、穿着不配对短袜的思维机器。在我们的想象中，事业上取得巨大成功者在出生时就为伟大作好了准备。但随后你就不得不奇怪，为什么过了一段时间
