Just getting past those first horrible experiences actually requires a lot of self-control. Ironically (讽刺的是), only those who can control themselves well, rather than give in to them, can ever come to someday develop a “taste” for Budweiser beer, Marlboro cigarettes, or dark-roasted Starbucks coffee. We do it for social acceptance. We force ourselves to consume alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and even illegal drugs, in order to seem experienced, grown-up, and cool.

　　These bad habits aren’t self-control failures — far from it. They are voluntary choices, and they are in fact self-control successes. Self-control is simply a tool to be put to some use, helpful or harmful. To live happy and productive lives, we need to develop not only our self-control, but also the wisdom to make good decisions about when and where to apply it.

　　60. What do most people think causes bad behavior?

　　A. Being forced by others.

　　B. Enjoying their first experiences.

　　C. Not having enough will power.

　　D. Following the examples of their friends.

　　61. The author mentions his experience in the third paragraph to prove ____.

　　A. everyone can be challenged by different temptations

　　B. drinking beer is harmful to the health of teenagers

　　C. self-control should be developed when one is young

　　D. will power helps develop bad habits sometimes
