How can you change negative thoughts? Many people suggest changing your attitude by thinking of something bright and happy.

However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.

“It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects（影响）how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.

Scientists believed that the way we remember emotional（令人动情的）messages is affected by our mood. Those who feel sad remember negative information far more easily than active messages, especially when the information is about them.

In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill（跑步机）. Half of the people were encouraged to mimic（模仿）a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept equal for both groups.

During the time on the treadmill, the scientists read out a list of active and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recite as many of the words as they could remember.

As expected, those who had been mimicking a depressed walk remembered more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner.

This finding means that our walk influences the way we treat information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.

1.What does the underlined word “negative” mean in the first paragraph?

A.多变的 B.冷漠的 C.消极的 D.易怒的

2.What new way did scientists from Queen’s University possibly find to change negative thoughts?

A.Doing something happy. B.Thinking of something bright.

C.Walking like a happy person. D.Thinking about being a happy person.

3.Which of the following is NOT true about Troje’s test?

A.The 47 people walked on the treadmill. B.Half of the people walked in a depressive walking style.

C.Another half walked in a happy walking style. D.The two groups walked at different speeds.

4.What does the word “them” refer to?

In our daily lives many people always have negative thoughts. Being in a negative space is harmful to our life and study. If you keep them in mind, you will lose hope sooner or later. Let’s drive away some of the most common negative thoughts.

No one cares about me.

Sometimes you say that your family and friends don’t care about you. Maybe you are too negative and misunderstand the gestures of love they show you. They don’t have to be big gestures, but there are many countless little things they do for you. Maybe you just pay no attention to them and take them as granted. Perhaps you think they don’t care about you so you don’t make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in the same way. And if you don’t have good relationships wit the people you know, what’s stopping you from making new friends?

Why is she better off?

Comparing yourself to someone else is never positive. There’s always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep admiring what someone else has, then this may cause you to lose the balance in your mind, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don’t have is your whole package. Be proud of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.

I’ll never reach my goal.

If you think you’re not going to be able to “get there”, think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome more difficulty than what you are facing.

Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a positive attitude.

In the teen years, young people change in many ways. The body changes, so do thoughts and feelings. These changes become an important part of teenage life.

Teens may often harm their health by developing bad lifestyles. Bad eating habits and less sleep may cause lots of problems. For example, they may often feel tired and have no interest in anything. Some begin to smoke, which is bad for their health.

Teens' feelings usually change, too. They may get angry more easily. Other changes include becoming depressed more easily and feeling nervous. Some teens may start to keep secrets to themselves and refuse to talk with their parents or teachers, and they always show their anger and dislike for another person or group.

During the teen years, people will usually have some problems that may cause other problems. One reason for this may be that teens are never taught about the changes that are taking place and they do not know how to deal with the problems they have.

Teachers and parents should spend some time with young teens and teach them about the changes. Most of the time, it is good for teens to know about them.

What does your face say?
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.
Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the
same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.
“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”
With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化).
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.
1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show interest in different cultures.
B. To express the worries about emotions.
C. To lead in the topic of facial expressions.
D. To give an example of facial expressions.
2.The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.
A. express　　 B. explain　　 C. differentiate　　 D. develop
3.According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that ______.
A. facial expressions are easy to understand in Japan
B. the way expressions are understood is different in China
C. new ways of social communication can improve movements
D. it’s difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. We can express our emotions in four different ways.
B. Facial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.
C. Facial expressions of emotion are from different countries.
D. Facial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.
