Self-cntrl is the ability t regulate and adjust respnses in rder t avid undesirable behavirs, increase desirable nes, and achieve lng-term gals. Cmmn gals such as lsing weight, exercising regularly, eating healthy fd, giving up bad habits, and saving mney are just a few wrthwhile ambitins that peple believe require self-cntrl.

Researchers have fund that peple wh have better self-cntrl tend t be healthier and happier.

Her father was a train driver n the undergrund in Lndn and her mther held tw cleaning jbs. Nnetheless, she harbured her dream f being a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员).( Levertn从小就渴望跳舞。遗憾的是，她的父母没钱上芭蕾舞课，因为他们是第一代印度移民，在英国努力谋生。她的父亲是伦敦地铁的一名火车司机，母亲做过两份清洁工作。尽管如此，她仍怀揣着成为芭蕾舞演员的梦想)”可知，第三段主要介绍了Levertn小时候没能学跳舞的原因。故答案为Why Levertn didn’t learn dancing when she was yung.
58．答案： Keep/Bear sth. in mind.
解析：考查词句猜测。根据划线词上文“Levertn had lnged t dance as a child. Sadly, her parents culdn’t affrd ballet classes”可知，Levertn从小就渴望跳舞。遗憾的是，她的父母没钱上芭蕾舞课，以及Nnetheless表示“尽管如此”，说明虽然没钱去上芭蕾舞蹈，但Levertn仍然牢记自己成为芭蕾舞演员的梦想。故划线词意思是“牢记”。故答案为Keep/Bear sth. in mind.
59．答案： Health, friend and happiness.
解析：考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Ballet has been transfrmative. At a medical appintment a few mnths after Levertn’s first class, a nurse measured her at 163cm, half an inch taller than she had thught. She attributes (归因) the difference t imprved psture. Her muscle tne has imprved and her lwer back pain has stpped. Dancing has als brught new friends. She met a grup f lder, mre independent wmen and wrked tgether twards a team award with the Ryal Academy f Dance. And then, f curse, there is the jyful feeling.(芭蕾舞具有变革性。在Levertn上完第一堂课几个月后的一次医疗预约中，一位护士给她测量了163厘米的身高，比她想象的要高半英寸。她将这种差异归因于姿势的改善。她的肌肉张力改善了，腰痛也停止了。跳舞也带来了新朋友。她遇到了一群年纪更大、更独立的女性，并一起努力获得皇家舞蹈学院的团队奖。当然，还有一种快乐的感觉)”可知，舞蹈给莱弗顿带来了健康、朋友和快乐。故答案为Health, friend and happiness.
60．答案： The stry tells me that we shuld have ur wn dreams because we never knw when we will achieve them.
解析：考查开放题。根据“你能从莱弗顿的故事中学到什么？还有你的理由”可回答：这个故事告诉我，我们应该有自己的梦想，因为我们永远不知道什么时候我们会实现它们。故答案为The stry tells me that we shuld have ur wn dreams because we never knw when we will achieve them.
