Well, she might just lose it and swallow him.This happened in Bao, the Chinesecentric film that claimed Best Animated Short at the 91st Oscar Awards. Directed by Chinaborn Canadian director Domee Shi, Bao tells the story of a Chinese steamed bun, or baozi, that comes to life and cries like a baby just before a woman is about to eat it. The lonely Chinese housewife, whose husband is always busy with work, regards the baby baozi as her substitute son. As time passes, it grows up and decides to leave home with its blonde girlfriend. Thats exactly when the controlling mom swallows it up whole out of frustration.The short film actually reflects the condition of the director herself and of most Chinese families.In China, “widowstyle childcare” describes many Chinese mothers ending in recent years. The term describes a bitter social reality: Once the child is born, the father disappears. He would work, drink all night, or do anything except help his wife take care of their child. As a result, the mother would throw herself completely into raising the child, without having a life of her own. She needs to know where her child is every moment, what he or she is doing whenever possible even if the child has attained adulthood. She can be bossy, anxious and seemingly unreasonable. She represents many Chinese mothers of today.Believe me, such an unnatural relationship can harm both mother and child. When one grows up, he or she may find it difficult to fit in with society. As for the mother, she would feel lonely as long as her child is not around, which may lead to depression and other psychological problems.Then what is the best model for mothers and children to get along? Id proudly introduce my mom. When I was a child, she cared for my safety, studies and daily life like every other mother. But her love wouldnt drown me. After I grew up and went to college, she wouldnt interfere in my life because she had already taught me to distinguish good from bad. I dont need to worry about her as she has her own life loves yoga, cooking, and even started to learn English when she was 40. Now she hangs out with her foreign friends from time to time just like teenagers.I believe this is a healthy mother child relationship as the two are independent individuals. Indeed, the mother needs to take care of her child. But instead of providing the fish, it is more important to teach one how to fish. Thus when the child grows up, both have their own life, and do not become attached to each other. A mother is not supposed to control her child for life. By doing so, she would only be pushing her son or daughter away from her because nobody wants to live in a prison made of love.But the film has a happy ending. The woman finds that it was only a nightmare. I do hope that all mothers who lean too heavily on their children wake up from this dream, so that they would live happily ever after.In the movie：Baothe fatherHe (1)_ little time for the family for the sake of work.the motherShe regards baozi as her substitute son.the endThe frustrated mother swallowed up baozi.

Deny, deny, deny.A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower.Most of the researchers exploring selfcontrol do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened?Avoiding temptation is one effective strategy for maintaining selfcontrol.In Walter Mischels marshmallow(软糖) study, the children who stared directly at the treat were less likely to resist it than were kids who closed their eyes, turned away or otherwise distracted themselves.This principle applies to adults, too.One recent study, for instance, found office workers who kept candy in a desk drawer ate less than when they kept the candy in plain sight.Another helpful technique for improving selfcontrol is an “implementation (履行) intention.” For example, someone who is watching their alcohol intake might say before a party, “If anyone offers me a drink, then Ill ask for club soda.” Research among adolescents and adults has found that implementation intentions improve selfcontrol, even among people whose willpower has been reduced by laboratory tasks.Just like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use, there is another aspect to the muscle comparison.While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term.Similarly, regularly exercising selfcontrol may improve willpower strength.The evidence from willpowerdepletion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions (心愿) on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach.Being used in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so dont try to quit smoking, adopt a healthy diet and start a new exercise plan at the same time.Taking goals one by one is a better approach.Once a good habit is in place, youll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior.Eventually healthy habits will become routine and wont require making decisions at all.So next time in the face of temptation, you dont have to worry about the drain on your willpower.With proper approaches, you can train your willpower to stay strong.A (1)_resourceJust like muscle, willpower decreases as you use it more.In the parole instance, the judge made more (2)_judgements as time passed.Ways tostrengthenwillpowerWillpower can be maintained by (3)_away from temptations.Research found that office workers ate less candy when it was out of (4)_Having a (5)_ahead of time will not exhaust your willpower when making decisions.For example, one may decide before a party that if offered a drink, ask for soda (6)_ .Willpower can be strengthened through regular (7)_Dont try to accomplish too many goals at a (8)_As evidence shows, New Year resolutions dont work because your willpower is (9)_up.Good (10)_ about willpowerPeople can strengthen their willpower with the right approaches.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了意志力会减弱以及增强意志力的办法。1limited根据右边表格“Just like muscle, willpower decreases as you use it more.In the parole instance, the judge made more unfair judgements as time passed.”可知，人的意志力是有限的，故填limited。2unfair根据第二段“At the beginning of the day, a judge will give each case a fair shot.But as their energy starts to fade? Deny, deny, deny.”可知，随着时间的推移，法官的精力开始消退，就会做出不公平的判决，故填unfair。3staying/keeping根据第四段“Avoiding temptation is one effective strategy for maintaining selfcontrol.”可知，避免诱惑是保持自我控制的一个有效策略。“staying/keeping away from temptations”与“avoiding temptation”同义。4sight根据第四段“One recent study, for instance, found office workers who kept candy in a desk drawer ate less than when they kept the candy in plain sight.”可知，最近的一项研究发现，把糖果放在抽屉里的上班族比把糖果放在显眼的地方吃得少。“out of sight”不在视线之内。5plan/intention/aim/goal根据第五段“Another helpful technique for improving selfcontrol is an implementation(履行) intention.”可知，另一个提高自我控制能力的有用技巧是履行目标，即事先要有一个目标。6instead根据第五段“If anyone offers me a drink, then Ill ask for club soda.”可知，如果有人请我喝一杯，我就要苏打水代替。故填instead。7practice/exercise/training根据“While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term.”可知，当肌肉在短时间内因运动而筋疲力尽时，它们在长时间内可通过定期运动而得到加强。故填 practice/exercise/training。8time根据倒数第二段“Taking goals one by one is a better approach.”可知，一个目标一个目标地去实现是更好的方法。at a time“一次”符合语境，故填 time。9divided/split根据倒数第二段“The evidence from willpowerdepletion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions (心愿) on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach.Being used in one area can reduce willpower in other areas”可知，意志枯竭研究的证据还表明，在除夕夜列一份心愿清单是最不可能的办法。在一个领域使用会降低其他领域的意志力。即意志力会被分成若干部分。故填divided/split。10news根据右边表格“People can strengthen their willpower with the right approaches.”可知，人们可以用正确的方法来增强自己的意志力，这是一个好消息，所以填news。7
