When police found Barely，19 years old，living in a tent，instead of a dormitory in Gordon State University，they were prepared to drive him away．
Then they heard his story．Barely 1. (plan)to walk to college 2. he couldn’t afford a bus ticket，but it would be too 3. (tire)．So he rode six hours from his hometown on his little brother’s bike，4. (carry)all his possessions—a bag，a tent，two bottles of water 5. a box of food—in order to start his second year 6. a biology major．He arrived early to look for a job，but no luck．7. (touch)by his story，Officer Richard and his partner put Barely up at a motel with their own money．Word spread and soon people donated clothes；school supplies and money 8. (cover)the rest of his motel stay—he was even given a job．And then there was Casey，who started a GoFundMe page for Barely after spending time with him．“This kid，though weak in 9. (appear)，rode a bike for 6 hours in the hot weather．I thought that he is determined．”She wrote on her Facebook page．The fund reached $1 84，000，all of 10. went into an education trust for Barely．

Researchers define self-control or self-discipline as“ability to control or change one’s inner responses”．1. However，some people think that as an immediate consequence of leading lives of constant self-control，they aren’t likely to gain a lot of pleasure from life．
2. To start，414 adults completed on online survey．In the survey，they rated the their self-control by indicating how much they agreed with 14 statements，such as“I indeed do certain things that are bad for me，if they are fun．”
In their study，205 adults were given smart phones and required to report their emotions at random moments throughout the week． 3. If so，they had to report how hard they tried to resist them，and whether they eventually ended up acting on them．
The researchers found that the more self-control people had，the more satisfied they were with their lives in the long run． 4. In fact，such people’s increased happiness to a large extent accounted for the increased life satisfaction．
These researchers also figured out that people high in self-control are simply less likely to find themselves in situations where that’s even an issue．They don’t waste time fighting inner battles over whether or not to eat a second piece of cake．5. And that，it would seem，makes them happier……even if occasionally a little bit sad．
A．In a word，they are not bothered about such little desires．
B．Researchers checked these general ideas through a survey and study．
C．It is generally believed that in the long run self-control can make people happier．
D．Meanwhile，they were also asked to report whether they were experiencing any desires．
E．However，people with more self-control were also more likely to be happy in the short run．
F．But they are still uncertain why some people are more able to control their inner responses．
G．Most adults reported they failed to control their desire to play video games before an exam．
The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance，nor their lack of skills．Rather，it's their enormous capability for joy．A friend told me a story．One day，when she went to get his 6-year-old son from soccer practice，her kid greeted her with a sad face．The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills．The little boy walked out of the schoo1 with his head and shoulders hanging down．He seemed wrapped in sadness．But before reaching the car door，he suddenly stopped，crouching(蹲伏)down to look at something on the sidewalk．“Mom，come here! This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen．It has ，1ike， a million legs．It’s amazing!”The little face was overflowing with indescribable excitement．
Nowadays，however，when we walk into a classroom，especially in a high school，we’ll be choked by towering books and papers，and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures，pens in hand，minds dry，just as the hollow men portrayed by T．S．Eliot．Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades．Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for them．
Although joy is an unaffordable luxury in today’s increasingly fierce competition，administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from crushing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop their important qualities，like perseverance and obligation．The assumption that pleasure is the enemy of competence and responsibility makes no sense educationally．
Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine：unpleasant，but necessary and good for you．Why not think of learning as if it were food—something so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?
