Self-cntrl is a skill that students need t help them succeed in schl. The develpment f self-cntrl begins at birth and cntinues thrughut ur lives. As babies, we have little r n cntrl ver ur behavir (行为) and md, but as we get lder, with the help f parents, teachers r friends, we learn hw t cntrl urselves. These abilities cntinue t develp in ur childhd and then yuthhd. Als, it is clear that lsing cntrl can have bad effects n children, causing interpersnal prblems, pr physical health, and psychiatric disrder (精神紊乱).
Therefre, by learning self-cntrl, children can make right decisins and react t situatins in psitive (积极的) ways. One f the effective strategies (策略) t develp self-cntrl abilities is t chse prper tasks. Fr example, try setting up simple gals first befre mving nt the next gal.
Hwever, it’s nt enugh t set up simple gals, because fr children f the same age, there are still sme differences in the develpment f self-cntrl abilities. Here’re sme strategies that help them learn right self-cntrl behavirs.
Take a break
Encurage children t take a break r “time in” whenever they feel dwn, annyed r angry. Stepping away frm a wrrying situatin can help a child calm dwn.
Teach and prvide attentin
Paying attentin is a skill that can be taught. Encurage children t prevent cutting in by learning t bserve (观察) thers withut talking, s they can jin in easily. Make sure t prvide children with attentin at times, s they dn’t feel ignred (忽视) and therefre are unlikely t cut in n thers.
____________
In rder t develp psitive behavirs, children need frequently psitive feedback (反馈). Cnsistent (持续的) feedback like ffering praise and gifts as rewards (奖励) can be highly wrthy fr yung children. It is imprtant t let a child knw what behavir he is expected.
Use activities designed t teach self-regulatin (自我管理)
Using specific activities can help teach children skills that imprve self-cntrl. Sme f these skills include dealing with wanting smething I can’ have, understanding feelings, and cntrlling anger.
58. What can we learn frm Paragraph 1?
A. As we get lder, ur self-cntrl will imprve naturally.
B. Lsing cntrl can ften cause bad results in children’s grades.
C. Children can learn hw t cntrl themselves with the help f thers.
D. Self-cntrl develpment begins at birth and stps grwing at yuthhd.
59. What can teachers d when students are very angry?
A. Prvide children with attentin.B. Ask the students’ parents fr help.
C. Teach skills t regulate themselves.D. Encurage them t take a break.
60. Which f the fllwing is prbably fit fr “ ▲ ”?

Have yu ever wndered if yu see the same clrs as ther peple? Mst peple knw what blue is when they see it. It’s the clr f the sea and the sky. They see the clr and call it “blue” because they were taught the wrd and cnnected it with what they saw. But hw d yu knw what yu see as “blue” isn’t smene else’s “red”?
The ability t ntice different clrs is due t receptrs (感受器) in ur eyes which is als called cnes (晶体). Light waves hit these receptrs and they react depending n which clr the light is, sending signals t the brain. The brain then translate these signals t tell which clr light the eyes are receiving.
Sme peple’s receptrs are mre develped than thers. Peple with weaker receptrs usually have clr blindness. Thse with mre develped receptrs can see mre shades f ne clr, which is the first way in which peple may see clrs differently frm each ther. We smetimes hear peple having an argument (争论) abut whether smething is dark blue r black. It might be because ne persn has strnger receptrs t translate the light than anther.
In the past, mst scientists wuld think that everyne saw clrs in the same way. Hwever, later scientists carried ut a research n mnkeys, in which they were injected (注射) with a virus affecting their receptrs. They fund that mnkeys culd see ne mre clr — red, cmpared (比较) with the usual tw clrs — blue and green. This is because the neurns (神经元) in their brains autmatically (自动地) adapted (适应) t be able t understand a new clr. This als mean the neurns in human brains are nt hardwired (与生俱来的) t understand which clr is which. Our brains and neurns may adapt t tell clrs depending n stimulus (刺激物).
Clrs culd be a very persnal experience, unique (独一无二的) t everyne. S next time when yu and yur friend talk abut yur favrite clr, if yurs is blue and yur friend says red, yu might actually be thinking abut the same clr.
62. Hw des the authr intrduce his tpic in Paragraph 1?
A. By giving an example.B. By listing sme numbers.
C. By ding a survey.D. By using famus peple’s wrds.
63. What’s the crrect prcess (过程) f seeing clrs?
A. cnes send signals t the brain → the brain translates the signals → light waves hit cnes →cnes react t the light
B. cnes react t the light → cnes send signals t the brain → light waves hit cnes → cnes react t the light
C. light waves hit cnes → cnes send signals t the brain → the brain translates the signals → cnes react t the light
D. light waves hit cnes → cnes react t the light → cnes send signals t the brain → the brain translates the signals
64. Which f the fllwing is TRUE accrding t the passage?
A. Mnkeys can usually see three clrs.
B. Our eyes are brn t autmatically tell clrs.
C. Peple with weak receptrs are mre likely t have clr blindness.
D. Nw mst scientists still believe that everyne sees clrs in the same way.
65. Which graph (图表) shws hw the authr rganizes his ideas?
