Read the following paragraph:
"The 'marshmallow test' was developed in the 1960's as a way to understand personality traits. In the test, preschoolers were
given a marshmallow, then told they would get two marshmallows if they didn't eat the first one while the researcher left the
room for a few minutes. At the time, researchers thought that the children who held out for a second treat had greater willpower.
"However, a new investigation suggests that the marshmallow test didn't really measure willpower after all. When
researchers tried the experiment again, they found that the decision to eat or wait had more to do with economic background
than personality. Children from poorer families were more likely to eat the first marshmallow than wait, perhaps because in their
experience the future is uncertain. Wealthier children found it easier to hold out, perhaps because they had more expectation that
their needs would always be met."
What is the implied main idea of this reading?
O Research experiments are not reliable.
O The results of scientific studies should be interpreted cautiously.
Some kids like marshmallows more than others.
Wealthy people have more willpower than poor people.

Read this excerpt from "hope, despair and memory" and answer the question. and yet it is surely human to forget, even to want to forget. the ancients saw it as a divine gift. indeed if memory us to survive, forgetting allows us to go on living. how could we go on with our daily lives, if we remained constantly aware of the dangers and ghosts surrounding us? the talmud tells us that without the ability to forget, man would soon cease to learn. without the ability to forget, man would live in a permanent, paralyzing fear of death. only god and god alone can and must remember everything. which of the following is true about the above excerpt? ethos is used in reference to “dangers and ghosts.” logos is used in saying all men forget and want to forget, because the talmud also praised forgetting. ethos is used in referring to the ancients, the talmud, and god. pathos is used without loaded language.

What is implied in this sentence from mark twain's "the £1,000,000 bank-note"? i was puzzled, and wanted to discuss the matter a little further, but they didn't; so i took my leave, feeling hurt and insulted to be made the butt of what was apparently some kind of a practical joke, and yet obliged to put up with it, not being in circumstances to resent affronts from rich and strong folk.
