问题     In 1970 psychologist Walter Mschel placed a cookie in front of a group of children and gave them a choice: they could eat the cookie immediately, or they could wait until he returned and then be rewarded with a second. Not surprisingly,【C1】______he left the room, many children ate the cookie almost【C2】______. A few of them, though,【C3】______eating the first cookie long enough to receive the second. Mischel【C4】______these children high-delay children.
    Interestingly, the children who were best able to delay satisfaction【C5】______did better in school than the children who could not—and, further,【C6】______up on average with SAT(美国大学标准入学考试) 【C7】______that were 210 points higher. In contrast, the children who had the most trouble【C8】______over satisfaction were more likely to struggle with drug and alcohol【C9】______.
    All this【C10】______that the ability to delay satisfaction may be one of the most important skills to learn to have a successful life. The question is, how do we【C11】______it?
    The answer may lie in the【C12】______Mischel’s high-delay children used. Rather【C13】______resist the urge to eat the cookie, these children distracted themselves from the【C14】______itself. They played with toys in the room, and looked everywhere【C15】______at the cookie.
    In other words, one of the most【C16】______ways to distract ourselves from a tempting pleasure we don’t want to【C17】______is by focusing on another pleasure. So the next time you find yourself【C18】______with a temptation, don’t【C19】______willpower to resist it. Send your attention somewhere else by imagining a different pleasure not immediately【C20】______to you. [br] 【C20】
选项 A、conventional
B、available
C、valid
D、convenient
答案 B
解析 形容词辨义。前面提到，不能用克制力抵挡诱惑，最好是想象一件你此刻不能立即得到的快乐的事情，available“可得的，可利用的”符合题意。conventional“符合习俗的，传统的，常见的，惯例的”；valid“有效的”；convenient“方便的”，这三个形容词均不符合文意，故排除。
