(2)  If  the children managed to resist temptation and not eat the marshmallow, the researcher promised them a reward of two marshmallows. However, most of the children (3)  found  it difficult to be patient and (4) gave it in before the time was up. They prefer to have something immediately (5)  rather  than wait for what they really wanted. The researchers found that, as adults, those children who could rise to the challenge were generally (6)  considered  more successful than the others.

       The best technique was to avoid thinking about the marshmallow (7)  at  all. The successful children(8)  dealt  with the problem by looking away or covering their eyes. If they didn't think about the marshmallow, they didn't have to make an (9)  decision  not to eat it.

       When Mischel taught a different set of children this technique, nearly all the children (10)  succeeded  in waiting the full time. Learning these techniques can help in adult life because being able to wait helps us to make the right choices.
