　　阅读理解：

　　From a very early age, some children show better self-control than others. Now, a new study that surveyed about 1000 children in New Zealand has tracked how children's low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.

　　Researchers have been studying this group of children for decades. They observed the level of self-control the children displayed. Parents, teachers, and even the children themselves, scored the children on the measure like “acting before thinking” and “persistence in reaching goals”.

　　“The children， who had the lowest self-control when they were aged 3 to 10, later on had the most health problems in their 30s,” said Moffitt， who led the study， “and they had the worst financial situation. They were more likely to have a criminal record and to raise a child as a single parent on a very low income.” Moffitt explained that self-control problems existed widely, and weren't just a feature of a small group of misbehaving children.

　　Moffitt said it's still unclear why some children have better self-control than others, though she said other researchers have found that it's mostly a learned behavior, with relatively little genetic influence. But good self-control can run in the family because children with good self-control are more likely to grow up to be healthy and prosperous parents. The good news, Moffitt said, is that self-control can be taught by parents, and through school curricula that have been shown to be effective.

　　【参考答案】B

　　[考点]推理判断题

　　【精析】B 根据第一段最后一句“…how children's low self-control can predict poor health, money troubles and even a criminal record in their adult years.”可知，孩子的自制力低下能预示他们成年后健康状况差、有金钱问题，甚至有犯罪记录。由此可推知，孩子的自制力往往会决定他们的未来。故选B。

They were more likely to have a criminal record and to raise a child as a single parent on a very low income.’”可知，3岁到10岁时自制力最低的孩子后来在他们30多岁的时候健康问题最多，而且他们的财务状况最糟糕，他们更可能有犯罪记录，并作为单亲父母以很低的收入养育一个孩子。由此可推知，自制力低下的孩子更可能采取消极的行为。故选D。
