a. to show the author was a wise man. b. to support the authors opinion about the habit. c. because a great educator asked the author to do it. d. because the author liked the old saying very much. 30. why does the author say habits have powerful effects on our lives? a. because habits can constantly affect our character. b. because habits can be learned and unlearned. c. because you can reap a character by sowing a habit. d. because a habit is like a cable and useful to our life. 31. what does the writer mean by referring to gravity pull? a. ridding bad habits needs great willpower. b. breaking the gravity pull means enjoying freedom. c. to prove that the habits can work with us or against us. d. the gravity pull is very important in our lives. 32. which can be the best title for this passage? a. forming a good character is importantb. the importance of the pull of gravityc. excellence is not an act but a habitd. the powerful factors of habitsdchimps(黑猩猩) will cooperate in certain ways, like gathering in war parties to protect their territory. but beyond the minimum requirements as social beings, they have little instinct (本能) to help one another. chimps in the wild seek food for themselves. even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children. who are able from a young age to gather their own food. in the laboratory, chimps dont naturally share food either. if a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or, with no great effort, a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage, he will pull at random -he just doesnt care whether his neighbor gets fed or not. chimps are truly selfish.human children, on the other hand are extremely cooperative. from the earliest ages, they decide to help others, to share information and to participate in achieving common goals. the psychologist michael tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children. he finds that if babies aged 18 months see an unrelated adult with hands full trying to open a door, almost all will immediately try to help.there are several reasons to believe that the urges to help, inform and share are not taught .but naturally possessed in young children. one is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially. another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded. a third reason is that social intelligence developsinchildrenbeforetheirgeneralcognitive（认知的）skills, atleastwhencomparedwithchimps.intestsconductedbytomtasell,thechildrendidnobetterthanthechimpsonthephysicalworldtests,butwereconsiderablybetteratunderstandingthesocialworldthe core of what childrens minds have and chimps dont is what tomasello calls shared intentionality. part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking. but beyond that, even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose. they actively seek to be part of a “we”, a group that intends to work toward a shared goal.33. what can we learn from the experiment with chimps? a. chimps seldom care about others interests.b. chimps tend to provide food for their children.c. chimps like to take in their neighbors food.d. chimps naturally share food with each other.34. michael tomasellos tests on young children indicate that they_. a. have the instinct to help othersb. know how to offer help to adultsc. know the world better than chimpsd. trust adults with their hands full35. the passage is mainly about _. a. the helping behaviors of young childrenb. ways to train childrens shared intentionalityc. cooperation as a distinctive human natured. the development of intelligence in children第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries?
