18、 school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the worlds first kids to be “taught“by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar( 化身）that appears on the studentsdesktops,or smartphone screens, when ordered to come. Th
19、e autonomous animation( 动 画 制 作 ） platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system , allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach “ Be sustainable with energy “ - a free program for Auckland elementary schools . Just like the humans it replaced,
20、 Will is able to instantly react to the students responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcan and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues( 暗 示 ） .Fo instance,if a student smiles at Will,he responds by smiling back. This two-way interac
21、tion not only helps attract the student attention, but also allows the programs developers to monitor and make changes if needed.

26、lace Teachers in the Classroom D A large body of research has been developed in recent years to explain many aspects of willpower. Most of the researchers exploring self-control do so with an obvious goal in mind: How can willpower be strengthened? If willpower is truly a limited resource, as the re
27、search suggests, what can be done to make it stay strong? Avoiding temptation( 诱惑）is an effective method for maintaining self-control, which is called the “out of sight, out o mind“ principle. One recent study, for instance, found office workers are less attracted to candy in the desk drawer than th
28、a on top of their desks in plain sight. The research suggesting that we possess a limited reservoi( 储 备 ） of self-control raises a troubling question.When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers dont believe that ones willpower is ever completely exhausted. Rather,
29、 people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows u to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our self-control strength has been run down.High motivation might help overcome weakened willpower-at least up to a point.

While muscles become exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exereise i
31、n the long term. Similarly, regular practices of self-control may improve willpower strength The evidence from willpower exhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Years Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas
32、, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, 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, Baumeister s, youll no longer need to draw on your
33、willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healt habits will become routine, and wont require making decisions at all. 32.From the studies in the passage we leam A. people have unlimited self-control B. high motivation ensures ones success C. willpower is hardly completely exhausted D. too many
34、temptations often lead to failure 33.
