刘旭敏回答：

　　小题1:B小题2:B小题3:C小题4:A 　　小题1:细节理解题。从Letamangiveintohisimpulses(冲动)andfeelings,andfromthatmomenthegivesuphismoral(道德的)freedom.可以看出“一个人道德上的自由是建立在自我控制的基础上的”。其他选项没有很好的把握本段的大意。小题2:段落大意理解题。文章的第二段主要论述了“生气”、“发脾气”给一个人身体造成的危害，例子中可以看出严重的甚至会带来死亡。其他各项都是作者所列举的例子，不能概括本段大意。小题3:细节理解题。文章最后一段介绍了“如果一个人失去了自失，那么他将失去一切，包括耐心、自信、甚至骨气。而一个人的自控意识是受自己强烈的感情控制的。”其他各项都符合文章的表述。小题4:主旨归纳题。纵观全文作者写这篇文章的主要目的就是要向读者解释一个问题：自控很重要，它是通向成功的钥匙。其他三项不能概括全文的大意。
