Can we turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed”? Is there power in positive thinking?

Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply emphasize how unhappy they are．

The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by referring to older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better．If you tell your friend that he may be an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults．In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write passages opposing funding for the disabled．When they were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written．

In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem（自尊）．The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes．Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell．When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable．”

Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the experiment．In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts．

The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy（心理治疗） that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them．In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse．Meditation（静思） techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a large, more realistic perspective（视野）．Call it the power of negative thinking．

1.The Canadian researchers find that _____．

2.What does the author mean by “… you’re just underlining his faults”（Line4, Para3）?

3.What do we learn from the experiment of Wood, Lee and Perunovic?

4.What do we learn from the last paragraph?

We can make all the jokes we want about taking baths ourselves, but if we are ill in bed and can't get up, we'll be thankful to the nurses who help us get clean. While I am not a nurse, and have never given anyone a bath, I would imagine that it would take a lot of sympathy (同情) and patience to do so.

Yet those who attended the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems last month were introduced to Cody, a robot that can bathe human beings.

The robot has a base that can be turned to all directions, two human­like arms, and movable wrists (腕). It uses a camera to locate parts of the human body.　 It then uses bath gloves to clean with a little pressure.

The robot was designed at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Charles Kemp of the Healthcare Robotics Lab is the senior researcher for the project. In a test run, Cody　　 was able to remove 96% of a test subject's dirt—not bad　 for a robot.

But don't go asking for Cody yet—he's still a model.　 Yet researchers believe that one day Cody may take the　 place of nurses for this task.　 Researchers say that Cody　 will give patients dignity and protect their personal information. I suppose that would depend on the patient.　 I'm　 not sure whether a robot using a camera would make me　 feel very dignified.

Even so, I can appreciate the need.　 We don't have　 enough nurses to go around, and those places that are the　 most short­handed, for example, nursing homes, are those　 that have the most patients who are unable to bathe themselves. Still, before I get there, I hope they think of a better way to solve the problem.

1.The writer thinks bathing others must ________.

A．be a lot of fun

B．make you feel thankful

C．take a lot of patience

D．make you feel dignified

2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A．Why and where Cody was designed.

B．What Cody looks like and who designed it.

C．What Cody can do and where it will work soon.

D．How Cody works and what has made that possible.

3.We know from the fourth and fifth paragraphs that ________.

A．Cody can bathe patients better than a real nurse can

B．robots like Cody are being produced in large numbers　　　　 right now

C．Cody can take the place of nurses completely in hospitals

D．researchers think Cody can protect patients' personal information

4.There is a need for Cody because ________.

A．people are becoming lazier

B．it can bring down the cost of nursing

C．there are not enough nurses

D．there are too many nursing homes

5.In the writer's opinion, Cody is ________.

A．acceptable but not perfect

B．strange but not creative

C．clever and strong

D．lovely and careful

Sure, we've all heard that we should get more sleep. The realities of life often make it become "we should get more sleep later." 　 1. The result is that you wake up the next day feeling like a role of The Walking Dead. Here are four ways you can adjust your biology in order to pay less for staying up.

● Move around.

Exercising before bed is a sure way to keep awake. That's why you shouldn't do it when you want to go to sleep, and it is also why hitting the gym, or even some fast push-ups can tell your body that it's not time for bed.　 Being physically exhausted isn't fun when you are trying to stay up late. 　 2.

● Eat more protein.

Few people think about the fact that the brain and body use a lot more energy when we're awake. If you are pulling an all-nighter, you're going to need a lot more food than you are used to eating. 　 3. To stay awake, plan to eat larger meals than normal and to eat them more frequently.

● Drink the right stuff.

It's tempting (诱人) to switch to sugary caffeine drinks like Red Bull, but the sugar will lead to a crash. Instead, if you want to use caffeine, drink early in the evening so it'll wear off by the time you want to sleep.

4. Don't make it worse by drinking sugar.

● 5.

Turn the lights down at night because bright lights keep you awake. For three or four hours after you're exposed to bright white light, your body won't make melatonin, a must for deep sleep. You will sleep better if you turn the lights a little bit down.

A. Turn the lights off.

B. Avoid bright lights.

C. Just do enough to get energetic.

D. And your body can never bear something like that.

E. Your brain can use up to 25 percent of your total calories.

F. When you stay up late, your blood sugar becomes abnormal.

G. There is either more work to be done, or more fun to be had, or both.
