[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 could keep on working longer.
B、They could do more challenging tasks.
C、They found it easier to focus on work at hand.
D、They held more positive attitudes toward life.
答案
A
解析
题干问的是相对于美国人,我们从这些来自欧洲的参与者身上了解到什么。短文中提到,美国人更倾向于承认在完成具有精神挑战的任务后需要休息。相反,欧洲的参与者声称他们能够继续工作,故答案为A(他们可以继续工作更长时间)。B项(他们可以做更有挑战性的工作)、C项(他们发现专注于手头上的事比较容易)和D项(他们对生活持更积极的态度)均与短文内容不符,故排除。
