The book starts by describing a famous experiment: The Marshmallow (软糖)Test. In 1972, a psychology(心理学)professor Mischel tested the willpower of 600 kids. In the experiment,each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow on a table in front of(1) .They were given two (2) ,they could either eat the marshmallow or if they waited fifteen minutes, they'd be given a (3) marshmallow (and then they could eat both).

(4) the other 30% showed willpower﹣they didn't eat the first one and waited for the second marshmallow (5) .
