[12] A good dose of willpower is often necessary to see any task through whether it’ s sticking to a spending plan or finishing a great novel. And if you want to increase that willpower, a new study suggests you just simply have to believe you have it. [13] According to the study, what matters most is what we think about our willpower. If we believe it’ s a finite resource, we act that way. We feel exhausted and need breaks between demanding mental tasks. However, people who view their willpower as a limitless resource get energized instead. The researchers used a psychological assessment tool to test the validity of the study. They asked 1,100 Americans and 1,600 Europeans to grade different statements, such as, after a challenging mental activity, my energy is depleted and I must rest to get it refueled again or I can focus on a mental task for long periods without feeling tired.
Although there was little difference between men and women overall, [14] Americans were more likely to admit to needing breaks after completing mentally challenging tasks. European participants, on the other hand, claimed they were able to keep going. Based on the findings, the researchers suggest that the key to boosting your willpower is to believe that you have an abundant supply of it. [15] Your feelings about your willpower affect the way you behave. But these feelings are changeable, they said. Changing your beliefs about the nature of your self-control can have positive effects on character development. This leads to healthier behaviors and perceptions of other people.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What is often necessary for carrying through a task?
13. What is the finding of the new study?
14. What do we learn about European participants as compared with their American counterparts?
15. What do the research say concerning people’ s feelings about willpower?
选项
A、They are part of their nature.
B、They are subject to change.
C、They are related to culture.
D、They are beyond control.
答案
B
解析
题干问的是关于人们对意志力的感受,这项研究是怎么说的。短文中提到,人们对意志力的感受影响其行为方式,但是这种感觉是可以改变的,故答案为B(它们可以改变)。A项(它们是天性的一部分)、C项(它们与文化相关)和D项(它们无法控制)短文均未提及,故排除。
