Few people aren’t familiar with the Brothers Grimm?s Cinderella, a fairy tale about a
kind-hearted country girl .
Cinderella was made to work day and night at the house doing all chores by her stepmother
and stepsisters for years. She wasn?t even allowed to attend the Prince?s ball, but just to stay at home. Cinderella cried in sadness. Luckily, her Fairy Godmother magically appeared and helped change her to the young lady with a beautiful dress and shining crystal glass slippers...
Cinderella never loses hope or becomes jaded by her terrible living conditions, and finally she wins the heart of a handsome prince.
Now this classic story has returned to the big screen.

The bells bring the Year of the Sheep, the eighth of the 12-year animal cycle of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar on Feb 19. In China, those who were born in the Year of the Sheep are said to be gentle, friendly, creative and brave.
People have kept sheep for centuries. They are not only animals, but also part of different cultures.
The expression “a wolf in sheep?s clothing”refers to the person who appears good but actually is vicious and cruel. “Black sheep” describes a person not so respectable or successful as the test of his family or group.
Sheep plays an important role in Christianity(基督教) in western countries. Christianity regards sheep as humanity, which gets lost easily and should depend on the strength of faith in Christianity to return to the right way, so Jesus names himself as “sheepherder”. According to Matthew in New Testament, “All the nations will be gathered before Him and He will separate them one form another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goat.” from this, “sheep” is used for “good person”and “goat”for “bad person”, so the fourth expression is “to separate/tell the sheep from the goat”, which means distinguish(区别) good from bad.
There is one more expression for SHEEP—sheeple. It is a word created by ”sheep”and “people”. It refers to people who believe whatever they are told and want to follow the others.
52.We can use “________” to describe people who seem to be nice but really bad.
A. a wolf in sheep?s clothing
B. tell the sheep from the goat
C. black sheep
53.There are ________ expressions mentioned about SHEEP in the passage.
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
54.The “sheepherder” underlined in paragraph 4 means the person who ________ the sheep.
A. eats
B. raises
C. guides
55. The person who says “__________” can be one of SHEEPLE.
A. No zuo no die
B. You jump I jump
C. So far so good
56.We can learn from the passage that sheep __________.
A. Are always independent and never get lost
B. Is the seventh of Chinese lunar calendar
C. Have special meanings in different cultures
E
The marshmallow, a white, cottony, sweet dessert, was used for an experiment to understand the nature of self-control years ago.
The scientist Walter Mischel gave 5-year-old children a simple choice: they could eat one marshmallow now. Or if they wait, receive tow marshmallows later. The result shows that those children who were able to wait for the prize of two marshmallows grew into adults who were more successful in school, work and relationships. They were also thinner, calmer, better at managing their money.
So , is it real that people are born with the ability of self-control?
Mischel tells us the answer in his new-published book—The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control. “Self-control can be taught, learned.”“Adults also can learn how to control themselves.”“Grown-ups can use these methods to give up smoking, or stick to a diet, or save money.”
In the book, Mishcel shows that the fight between instant gratification(即时满足) (one marshmallow now) and long-term gratification(two marshmallows later) is really a fight between two different systems in the brain. “There?s the more simple brain, allow us to do things like control our attention, and think about the future, and put off gratification, which is called …cool?thinking.”
Different experiments have also shown that when we face the sight, smell, or taste of delicious food, “hot” thinking that makes us most likely to eat a lot starts working.
The marshmallow Test will change the way you think about who we are and what we can be.
57. The experiment about marshmallow is about _________ of self-control.
A. nature
B. result
C. problem
58.In paragraph 3 the phrase “these methods” underlined may refer to the ways to __________.
A. improve relationship
B. use money better
C. control themselves

60.The __________ words when we sit in front of the computer and want to play computer games.
A. self-control
B. “hot” thinking
C. “cool” thinking
61. From the passage, we can know that ___________.
A. can use the simple brain to control our attention
B. we can improve ourselves by mastering self-control
C. the experiments before and now have the same results
