Our lives are full of them, from the small ones to the life-changing. The right to choose iscentralto everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad dec

13、isions 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

14、.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

15、 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 a

16、n 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

17、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 to

18、ok 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.1According to the text, what may help us make better decisions?ATo think about happy times.BTo make many decisions

19、 at a time.CTo stop feeling regretful about the past.DTo learn about the process of decision-making.2What 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3Damasias study suggests that _.Aemotions are the enemy of decision making.Bour brain has nothing to do with decision making.Cpeople

20、 with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds.Dour emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions.4Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?AThey often forget their past choices.BThey make decisions without much thinking.CThey tend to

21、 save time when shopping.DThey are too angry to bargain.5What do we learn from the text?AEmotions are a part of decision-making.BSad people always make worse choices.CNo emotion seems to help us make good choices.DOnly sad feeling affect our thinking and motivation.B14、What will man be like in the f

22、uture in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on the average,

23、men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively (相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity (容量.) As time goes

24、on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too. The head, especially the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they beco

25、me weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger. On the other hand, we tend (有的趋势) to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sen

26、sitive (敏感的) because they are used a great deal in modern life.What about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps, all this gives t

27、he impression that future man will not be a very attractive (有吸引力的) person to look at! This may well be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.1Future man is probably

28、 to be different from us in _ ways.Atwo Bthree Cfour Dfive2Future mans head will grow larger because _.Ahe will use his brain more and more as time goes onBhe makes use only 80% of the brains capacityCthe other 80% of his brain will grow fasterDhis brain has grown larger over the past centuries3What

29、 will be probably TRUE about the man in the future?AHe will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.BHis fingers will grow weaker because he wont use them.CHe will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.DHe will think and feel in a different way.4What does the writer write the article f

30、or?ATo give us some knowledge of future man.BTo show that mans life will be different in the future.CTo let us know future man will become shorter.DTo tell us future man will not use legs.C15、Teenager Jake Denham was skiing with his family in the USA when he felt over and lost one of his skis.

35、His mum was very happy when she heard the news. Amazingly, Jake didnt even have to go to hospital.
