It was on a spring afternoon. We never knew who drowned Perronet, but David pulled him out of the water and saved his life, People sometimes asked us what kind of dog he was, but we never knew, except that he was the nicest possible kind. Mother said we could not afford him because of the tax(税) and his keep. The tax was five shillings(先令), but it was nearly a year before the time when it must be paid. At last, we decided that all three of us would give up sugar toward saving the cost of his keep. It was the hardest for David because he was fond of sweet things, but then, he was fond of Perronet. So we all gave up sugar, and Perronet was allowed to remain.We were very happy that summer. The boys were especially happy. The only thing that vexed me was Perronets tax money, for months and months went on and we didnt save it. One day, I found David alone with Perronet in his arms. He was crying, and feeding Perronet with cake. I cant bear to see boys cry. I begged of David to stop, and told him I should certainly think of something. One day, we were all in school. The schoolmaster told us that there was to be a flower show for the school children this year, and that an old gentleman would give prizes to the best arranged wild flowers. There was to be a first prize of five shillings, and a second prize of a half crown, for the best collection of wild flowers, with their names upon them. I squeezed(挤) Davids arm, and whispered, Five shillings! I thought I could never get my lessons that day, for all day I was thinking about Perronets tax money. At night, I said to them, Look here! Ill make a collection of flowers. You two can make a collection of mosses(苔藓). There are ten kinds of mosses by the river, and we have names of our own for them. The boys agreed. Richard made me a box. We put wet sand at the bottom, then feather moss, and into that I stuck the flowers. I got all the flowers and all the grasses ready and printed the names on pieces of cardboard, to stick in with them. I didnt like it when it was done, but Richard praised it and that cheered me. I thought their mosses were beautiful. The day of the flower show was very hot. When we reached the tent, it was filled with grown-up people. It was very hard work getting about and trying to see the stands with flowers. We kept seeing tickets with First Prize and Second Prize. It made me feel sick with heat and anxiety, to think of them. We had walked slowly all round the tent. We had seen all the cucumbers, onions, lettuce, grapes, long potatoes, round potatoes and everything else. At last we saw my collection!

Our lives are full of them, from the small ones to the life-changing. The right to choose is central to everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Can science help?Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists(心理学家)are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.Consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, but in fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brains emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains , and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice, which we use to help the present decision-making.However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take anger, for example. A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.All emotions affect our thinking and motivation（动机），so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.（1）According to the text, what may help us make better decisions?A . To think about happy timesB . To make many decisions at a timeC . To stop feeling regretful about the past.D . To learn about the process of decision-making.（2）What does the underlined word “central” mean?A . 中心的B . 中央的C . 起决定作用的D . 后悔的（3）Damasias study suggests that _.A . emotions are the enemy of decision makingB . our brain has nothing to do with decision makingC . people with physical damage find it hard to make up their mindsD . our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions.（4）Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?A . They often forget their past choices.B . They make decisions without much thinking.C . They tend to save time when shoppingD . They are too angry to bargain.（5）What do we learn from the text?A . Emotions are a part of decision-makingB . Sad people always make worse choicesC . No emotion seems to help us make good choices.D .
