A branch of psychology called neurolinguistic programming has made an interesting and useful discovery :You can change the way you imagine or remember things without changing what you imagine, and it will change your feelings.For example, if a visual memory makes you sad whenever you think about it, you can make that mental picture smaller and dimmer, and when you do, the memory won’t make you as sad.Since you haven’t changed the content of the memory, you haven’t lost any information.You have simply made it less painful.
When you visually remember a pleasant memory, you can made the picture more colorful and the money will give you even more intense good feelings.You can make your pictures of the future brighter, wider , deeper, or you can bring the images closer.Changes like these will make you feel different--- even when you leave the content of the picture the same.
These are general guidelies ( 指导方针 ).You’ll need to experiment for yourself to find out what will work for a particular image.For a few people, making an exciting picture brighter makes the feelings less intense.And for some kinds of pictures, increasing the brightness would cause the feelings to become less intense --- for example, a romantic memory.
What is true for visual images also applies to the way you talk to yourself.
For example, if you have trouble motivating yourself , try changing the tone of voice you use when you spread to yourself.Some people order themselves about .The voice they use to talk to themselves is harsh and commanding.Listening to yourself being bossy can have the same effect as listening to someone else being bossy: It can make you want to rebel.Change your tone to friendly or seductive, and you might feel more motivated .When you tell yourself, “I can do it,” fill your internal voice with enthusiasm and back it up with inspiring music.The possibilities are in fact endless.
The important thing to understand is that they way you code your inner world has an impact , and you have quite a bit of control over that coding.You can change it deliberately.When you do , it will change your feelings, which change your actions, which will change the world around you..

The area of child psychology is one of the most significant and well studied of all the branches of psychology. It aims to help with achieving a greater understanding of the behavior of children through an understanding of their minds. It deals with children who range from the prenatal(出生前的)stage right up to the stage of adolescence.
The psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) has been credited with making a major breakthrough in this area when he put forward his idea that children were not actually less intelligent than adults, rather they just thought in a different way. Preciously the development of children right from birth through to adulthood was an area that was almost completely neglected. In fact very little work was done in this area. However, interest in this field has now developed to the point of being one of the most debated of all the areas of psychology.
Despite popular belief that factors such as genetics or personal characteristics are the only determining factors that influence a youth’s behavior, this is not in fact the case. In reality, development actually includes many more factors than those contained within an individual. Factors such as environment, which can include social relationships and the surrounding culture, also play important roles. Relationships with both peers and adults will no doubt affect how children think and learn, and therefore develop. These relationships can include those that are found not only within families but also in schools and peer groups.
Culturally speaking, this factor will contribute greatly to how children develop their personality concerning the values they end up holding (perhaps for a lifetime) as well as how they view such things as traditions and customs.
Nowadays, psychologists have agreed that a child’s psychology is both unique and highly complex. However, there are debates on many different points in this field and many viewpoints exist.
1.The word “neglected” underlined in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “______”.
A. ignored B. destroyed C. developed D. explored
2.What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Popular belief about child psychology.
B. The role families play in a child’s development.
C. Factors that affect a child’s development.
D. The importance of relationships to a child.
3.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to ____.
A. introduce an important psychologist.
B. give a brief introduction to child psychology.
C. compare some of the areas of psychology.
D. explain the development in psychology.

The recent widespread interest in all branches of psychology has accustomed us to accepting an idea which,when first offered,seemed laughable:We all,at some level,spend most of the time on reverie(幻想)。We dream either consciously or unconsciously,awake or asleep,of a situation in which we feel we should be happier than we are in real life.Occasionally some childish ideas of happiness or success break out in to confuse or prevent us from living an adult life.Sometimes the dream is refusing to leave the safe shelter of the nursery,where all wants were met as soon as felt,where warmth and food and love were given freely and unearned.As Emerson wrote,"We do not believe there is any force in today to match or recreate that beautiful yesterday.We linger in(徘徊)the ruins of the old tent where once we had bread and shelter."To some extent this is true of all of us,but less true of the happy and successful adult than of others.
At other times,funnily enough,the life-wasting reverie is about success:The mild man is Napoleon or the ugly woman is a charming singer.If reality never broke in upon such reverie,the dreamer might be happier than if he were to find himself in a position to realize some part of it.Such reverie is in itself compensation for a life of dull routine.But,the world being what it is,the dreamer must live,for part of his time at least,in the cold atmosphere of fact.This is no Land of Cockaigne:Roast 1t pigs do not run about crying,"Eat me!"Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths..
The deeply rooted dreamer will struggle only just as much as he needs,and no more.He will do anything half-heartedly to get his bread and butter.Then,when his daily task is over,he will be hack to his dreams again,whether he realizes it or not. He succeeds at only one thing:in clearing away a little space,gaining each day a few hours of free time,for just one purpose-to go on wasting his life.But his
dream is happy.It is,for him,a true compensation for his failure in every other relation,and so he continues in it.Yet,since after all happiness is the true goal,he believes that the smallest success in reverie brings with it more happiness.
However,it is important to remember that failure is real,for otherwise we will not prepare ourselves to fight it.
1.People's spending most of the time on reverie is something that
A.was laughed at by people in the past
B.most people are greatly fed up with
C.psychologists are very interested in
D.psychologists have widely accepted
2.People who are living in reverie
A.are filled with fear of the future life
B.usually have a happy childhood
C.always enjoy recalling their past life
D.are happier than any successful adult
3.People living in the Land of Cockaigne______
A.think that they are the greatest of the world
B.could enjoy all they need for life without work
C.will realize life means struggle
D.usually live a life of dull routine
4.Which of the following about deeply rooted dreamers is TRUE?
A.They'll never work for life even when they're starving.
B.They admire heroes so much as to become Napoleon.b
C.They don't feel happy due to the little things they have.
D.They'll never do any more than keeping themselves alive.
5.The writer suggests in the passage that_____
A.we should stop spending most of our time on reverie
B.people can realize something vital through dreaming
C.we should prepare ourselves to fight failure
D.people can gain more happiness from reality

People think of cats as cute. But research published in a psychology journal calls them neurotic (神经质的) and unstable. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and the Bronx Zoo in New York compared the personalities of domestic house cats with those of four different types of wildcats.
To better understand their personalities, the researchers rated a number of animals behaviors on what psychologists call the Big Five human personality traits (特征).
Domestic house cats have similar personality structures to African lions. “It’s what cats do pretty much on a daily basis, things like being anxious, being timid, being excitable, being aggressive toward humans, being aggressive toward each other, ”said Max Wachtel, a Denver psychologist who didn’t participate in the study. “All of those are characteristics you see in those cute little house cats, and you also see them in lions.”
If you ever thought your cat was anxious, insecure, tense, suspicious or aggressive toward you, you aren’t making it up, he said. If they were bigger, they probably would consider killing you.
But the news isn’t all bad: Just like lions, house cats are also playful, excitable and impulsively funny. They just aren’t very predictable. One moment cats will be enjoying bell scratches, and the next they will be biting you to make you stop.
“It is good to understand the personality characteristics of our pets,” Wachtel said “Different cats have different personalities, but as a species, there are a lot of commonalities.”
The researchers also studied personality traits of Scottish wildcats and some other animals “Across the five species we assessed, personality structure was strikingly similar and also seemed to be related to other studies’ findings, such as in tigers,” the researchers wrote in their study in the November 2014 issue of the Journal of Comparative Psychology. But house cats were most like lions, potentially because they live in semi-social surroundings and lions are the most social of cats.
“They’re cute and furry, but we need to remember when we have cats as pets, we are inviting little predators into our house,” Wachtel said. “Cats can be fantastic, sweet companions—until they turn on you.”
1.Cats can be described as _____.
A.funny and safe
B.playful and stable
C.fantastic and devoted
D.neurotic and unpredictable
2.How did the researchers conduct the research?
A.By making comparisons. B.By analyzing cause and effect.
C.By giving examples. D.By providing explanations.
3.Which of the following “turn on” shares the same meaning as the underlined phrase?
A.The book really turned me on to science.
B.Upon entering the room, he turned on the light.
C.The hungry suddenly turned on each other for food.
D.The trial turned on the medical evidence presented by the defense.
4.Which of the following can be used as a suitable title?
A.Cats are best pets.
B.Domestic cats and wildcats.
C.Your cat may want to kill you.
D.Different cats, different personalities.

There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine”, or “scientific medicine.” Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.
A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(药草). These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.
The third kind is called “health spas(矿泉疗养地),” or “faith healing.” Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.
1.Doctor medicine ________ .
A.has a longer history than folk medicine
B.has been practiced for around 1,600 years
C.bases its treatments on observation and logic
D.was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times
2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas?
A.Magic power. B.Various herbs.
C.Religious faith. D.A healthy life style.
3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A.Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis.
B.people who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs.
C.The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine.
D.Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times.
4.The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to ________ .
A.describe different types of medicine
B.argue for the importance of medicine in health care
C.show the crucial role religion plays in medical treatments
D.compare the educational background of three different types of patients

Should you choose time over money, or money over time? This is one of those so-called dilemmas of happiness that isn’t really a dilemma at all, because the answer is so painfully obvious. Money, after all, is just an instrument for obtaining other things, including time-while time is all we’ve got. And to make matters worse, you can’t save it up.
And yet we do choose money over time, again and again, even when basic material well-being doesn’t demand it. Partly, no doubt, that’s because even well-off people fear future poverty. But it’s also because the time/money trade-off rarely presents itself in simple ways. Suppose you’re offered a better-paid job that requires a longer commute (more money in return for less time); but then again, that extra cash could lead to more or better time in future, in the form of nicer holidays, or a more secure retirement. Which choice prioritizes time, and which money? It’s hard to say.
Thankfully, a new study throws a little light on the matter. The researchers surveyed more than 4,000 Americans to determine whether they valued time or money more, and how happy they were. A clear majority preferred money-but those who valued time were happier. Older people, married people and parents were more likely to value time, which makes sense: older people have less time left, while those with spouses and kids probably either value time with them, or feel they steal all their time. Or both.
The crucial finding here is that it’s not having more time that makes you happier, but valuing it more. Economists continue to argue about whether money buys happiness-but few doubt that being comfortably off is more pleasant than struggling to make ends meet. This study makes a different point: it implies that even if you’re scraping by (勉强维持), and thus forced to focus on money, you’ll be happier if deep down you know it’s time that’s most important.
It also contains ironic (讽刺的) good news for those of us who feel basically secure, financially, but horribly pushed for time. If you strongly wish you had more time, as I do, who could accuse you of not valuing it? At least my eagerness for more time shows that my priorities are in order, and maybe that means I’ll enjoy any spare time I do get. We talk about scarce time like it’s a bad thing. But scarcity is what makes us treat things as precious, too.
1.The example in Paragraph 2 suggests that ______.
A.money can be made at the expense of time
B.the time/money trade-off is a complicated issue
C.money is a tool for obtaining material well-being
D.circumstances force one to choose money over time
2.We can know from the findings of the study that ______.
A.valuing time more makes people happier
B.parents regret the time spent on their kids
C.people won’t value time until they’re rich
D.a comfortable life is superior to more time
3.Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage?
A.What you should spend time on
B.What you should trade money for
C.Why you need to value money, not time
D.Why you need to count time, not money
