We go through life assuming we're in charge of our own minds — until temptation (诱惑) strikes. Few things better illustrate how little control we really have. You can know exactly what you should do (decline the second slice of cake or the third cocktail), but that hardly seems to matter when the urge arises. More self-discipline is rarely the answer, though. Instead, if you can understand what's going on inside your head when temptation comes, you'll be far better placed to make a healthier choice.
Sometimes, you need to push yourself, the idea behind which, in psychology, is to make the better choice the easier choice. (School pupils eat more healthily, it's been shown, when the salads are within easier reach than the chips.) So, instead of relying on willpower, stop keeping ice creams in your freezer! Use StayFocused or similar apps to block distracting websites. Change your environment, and temptation will be a non-issue.
For every person, behind every bad habit, there's a reasonable desire: some people eat or drink too much because they're lonely, or smoke to get a break from a busy schedule. Once you've uncovered this underlying need, find a different way to meet it: call a friend; take a coffee break instead of a cigarette break. There's nothing wrong with the need — only with the way you're currently meeting it.
It's a strange truth that we'll break all sorts of promises to ourselves — yet most of us would never fail to show up at a prearranged meeting with a friend. Involve others in your temptation-resistance efforts, whether it's asking someone to check in weekly to see if you're sticking to your plan, or never going shopping alone if you're subject to impulse purchases. Best of all, launch a joint plan, in which two of you decide to give up a bad habit. That turns a challenge into a fun game.
(1)、What does "that" mean in paragraph 1?A、Temptation. B、Self-awareness. C、Choice. D、Self-motivation.(2)、Which should be a good choice if you feel worn out from a packed timetable?A、Exercise strong willpower over it. B、Keep ice creams within easy reach. C、Use StayFocused to refresh yourself. D、Chat with a friend over a cup of coffee.(3)、What does the author suggest you do according to paragraph 4?A、Seek partners' support. B、Leave challenges behind. C、Keep your promises. D、Say no to playing games.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、What causes temptation. B、How to keep temptation at bay. C、Why urges set in. D、How to keep life under control. -

13、 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Years later, I might still remember that small library. It was a winter day when I came to the library. The sunlight was bright but not warm. It was a typical southern winter day, windless but cold.
The winter vacation was crucial for me, and studying in the library could efficiently improve my studies. I stood in front of the door with my backpack. On the board on the door read: "Community Library". I pushed the door open. Behind the service desk sat an old man with gray hair and dark skin, wearing reading glasses. When he saw me, he pushed his glasses up.
"Hello, I live nearby. My home is small and noisy. Can I study here?" I asked. The old man looked me over and nodded. I then moved to a table in the corner. After lunch every day, I would come to the library. Most of the time, it was just the old man and me, and the only sound was the hum(嗡嗡声) of the old air conditioner.
When I felt too cold or tired of reading, I would get up and move around. Gradually, the old man would ask me if I needed hot water. Sometimes he brought me subject-related books. We had brief conversations sometimes. The old man grew up in the countryside and didn't have much education. He worked in a factory when he was young, and after retiring, he came to the community library to work.
Every day, I studied until sunset. When it was about time for the old man to get off work, I would pack up and get ready to leave. He would also stand up and tidy up. After I left, he would close the door, ending his day's work.
One afternoon, I went to the library to return some books. The old man was very happy that day and handed me a book, saying, "I found a book on the far right of the shelf in the corner. I'm sure you'll like it" I nodded, took the book, and thanked him.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

A total of 102 architectural heritage projects is revealed at the "Public Vision of 20th-Century Heritage—Introduction of the 9th Batch of China's 20th-Century Architectural Heritage Projects and Seminar" held in Tianjin on Saturday. Experts said, "China has shifted 'cultural relic protection' to 'cultural heritage protection' and this (aware)will provide new possibilities for urban development and cultural preservation."
According to the chairman of the China Cultural Relics Academy and director of the Academic Committee of the Palace Museum, "activation" is the focus of the protection of these buildings. 20th-century architectural heritage is not 'frozen', but (change) with the times. A historical building or zone must be given (today) functions, and used correctly and reasonably.
(compare) with traditional wooden ancient buildings, industrial heritage has a wider range of uses. Taking Beijing's Shougang Park as example, the chairman introduced the importance of "activation".
Shougang Park, now has become an industrial heritage park after ceasing production, used (be) a steel production base. Many large-scale cultural, tourism, and sports activities are taking place in Shougang Park, and its functions are (constant) expanding.
According to experts, protecting 20th-century architectural heritage is a collective responsibility. The preservation shouldn't (undertake) by the government or cultural sectors alone. Everyone should contribute to this cause.
According to experts, the work is not just the task of the government or cultural departments but the responsibility of all people.

Learning a foreign language can be difficult, but if you follow certain techniques, you'll be able to learn any language soon. Although there's no easy way to go about it, with some hard work and practice, you can be fluent in the near future.
Learn from your past experience. If you've learned languages in the past, go over what you learned then and try to figure out what was most effective for you. What didn't? Which parts of the process did you find easy? Which parts were hard? When you've sorted this out, you'll be ready to start learning the language.
Study English Phonology (音系学). English Phonology deals with English pronunciation.You can find many websites and online videos on English Phonology. Relate English pronunciation with other language pronunciation.
Pay attention to the grammar. "Paul want Mary go store" may communicate an idea, but it is not at all correct English. If you do not pay attention to grammar, you can sound equally incomprehensible in another language.
Just imagine you went to a shopping center. Then think how you would interact with people. Write the whole conversation in your native language then translate every sentence into the required language.
Memorize 30 words and phrases each day. Start with the most common words. Memorization is half the battle and there are many different ways to memorize. You can practice writing each word a dozen times..
A. What helped you learn?
B. Speak with native speakers.
C. What is the best method suitable for you?
D. This way will get you used to using the word itself.
E. It helps in understanding pronunciation of other languages.
F. Translate your daily spoken native language into the required language.
G. This is probably the most important part of the language besides the vocabulary.

Exercise lowers the risk of many diseases, but scientists still don't fully understand how exercise changes the body on a molecular (分子的) level. Most studies have focused on a single organ, sex, or time point, and only include one or two data types.
To take a more comprehensive look at the biology of exercise, scientists with the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) used a range of techniques in the lab to analyze molecular changes in rats as they were put through the paces of weeks of intense exercise.
The team studied a range of tissues from the animals, such as the heart, brain, and lungs. They found that each of the organs they looked at changed with exercise, helping the body to regulate the immune system(免疫系统), respond to stress, and control pathways connected to inflammatory(发炎的) liver disease, heart disease, and tissue injury.
The data provide potential clues into many different human health conditions; for example, the researchers found a possible explanation for why the liver becomes less fatty during exercise, which could help in the development of new treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
The team hopes that their findings could one day be used to tailor exercise to an individual's health status or to develop treatments that mimic the effects of physical activity for people who are unable to exercise. They have already started studies on people to track the molecular effects of exercise.
"It took a village of scientists with distinct scientific backgrounds to generate and integrate the massive amount of high-quality data," said a co-senior author of the study. "This is the first whole-organism map looking at the effects of training in multiple different organs. The resource produced will be enormously valuable, and has already produced many potentially novel biological insights for further exploration."
(1)、What is the primary focus of the studies conducted by MoTrPAC?A、The overall molecular changes due to exercise. B、The impact of exercise on immune system only. C、The effects of exercise limited to heart and lungs. D、The molecular effects of exercise on a single organ.(2)、What potential application does the research have?A、It makes for developing new sports equipment. B、It can be used to predict the effects of exercise. C、It explains how exercise increases stress levels. D、It can help understand various health conditions.(3)、What is the researchers' current work?A、Tailoring exercise programs based on the molecular data. B、Developing treatment s that mimic the effects of exercise. C、Studying the molecular effects of exercise in human subjects. D、Expanding the study to a broader range of health conditions.(4)、What can we infer about the research from the last paragraph?A、It's commercial. B、It's a team's effort. C、It's insignificant. D、It's an interesting debate. -

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method of storing and handling valuable biological materials that removes the limitations of refrigerated storage. The novel method has potential applications in healthcare and scientific research.
Biological materials that come from human cells, like enzymes, proteins, and antibodies, are crucial to developing new medicines and diagnostic tests. And they're fragile. Extremely temperature-sensitive, they require a constant temperature during storage, handling, and transportation. If not stored or handled correctly, these materials will be inactive, which can be costly.
Most biological materials are stored as liquids or freeze-dried powders and kept at low temperatures for the duration of their shelf life. This is achieved through a complex integrated system of refrigerators and freezers known as the cold chain. This requires a significant investment in equipment and infrastructure, making it expensive to maintain, and makes the cold chain prone to shipping delays, power outages, equipment failure and human error.
Inspired from the home medicine cabinet(储藏柜), where medications are stored in the form of liquids, powder-filled capsules, and tablets, researchers at California Polytechnic State University have developed a new storage platform based on the humble table t that would enable biological materials to be compressed (压缩) into a solid state.
Tablets provide advantages to the storage and handling of biomaterials that the cold chain doesn't. For one thing, they can be stored at room temperature. And, when they're required, the tablet can be dissolved in water. "Our innovation makes storing and using biomaterials as straightforward as an effervescent tablet (泡腾片). Just drop it into water, mix, and it's ready to go," said the researcher of the study.
The researchers say their new tablet-based storage and handling method is easy to use and doesn't require special training, making it suitable for many applications. They also see potential uses beyond just improving the storage and handling of biological materials. By modifying(修改) the tablet coatings, this solid-state storage platform could withstand extreme conditions like heat, humidity, and chemicals. These changes might eventually allow injectable medications, such as insulin, to be taken orally.
(1)、What is a special requirement to store biological materials?A、Constant temperature maintenance. B、Exposure to various temperatures. C、Periodically freezing and melting. D、Direct contact with air.(2)、What is the researchers' attitude to their storage method?A、Favorable. B、Skeptical. C、Disappointed. D、Grateful.(3)、Which word can replace the underlined word "withstand" in the last paragraph?A、Demonstrate. B、Stand. C、Adopt. D、Distinguish.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、Challenges of storing biological materials. B、The making process of effervescent tablets. C、Healthcare applications of biological materials. D、A new table t storage method of biological materials. -
