【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 raises a troubling question. When we face too many temptations, are we to fail? Not necessarily. Researchers don’t believe that one’s willpower is ever pletely exhausted. Rather, people appear to hold some willpower in reserve, saved for future demands. The right motivation allows us to tap into those reserves, allowing us to carry on even when our selfcontrol strength has been run down. High motivation might help overe weaken Willpower at least to a point. Willpower may also be made less vulnerable（脆弱） to being exhausted in the first place. Researchers who study selfcontrol often describe it as being like a muscle that gets tired with heavy use. But there is another aspect to the muscle parison, they say. While muscles bee exhausted by exercise in the short term, they are strengthened by regular exercise in the long term. Similarly, regular practices of selfcontrol may improve willpower strengths The evidence from willpowerexhaustion studies also suggests that making a list of resolutions on New Year39。s Eve is the worst possible approach. Being exhausted in one area can reduce willpower in other areas, so it makes more sense to focus on a single goal at a time. In other words, don’t 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 says, you’ll no longer need to draw on your willpower to maintain the behavior. Eventually healthy habits will bee routine, and won’t require making decisions at all. 32. From the studies in the passage we learn that .
