11、 rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and the

12、n scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.More recent research help

13、s explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking andactivates(激活) conflict and defense mechanisms(机制). You assum

14、e that situations are worsethan they actually are.When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your bodys production of oxytocin, a feel-good that increases your ability to communicate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the e

15、ffects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether youre having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind:

16、 At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on whats going right.Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths a

17、nd positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.1、The underlined phrase “tune out” in Paragraph 1 probably means.Astop listening Bchange mindCsing aloud Dbe

18、crazy2、What will happen if you experience negative emotions?AThe situations are sure to become worse.BMuch of your thinking will be prevented.CYou will feel an urge to improve and become better.DYoull be motivated to resolve conflicts with people.3、From Paragraph 4, we can learn that .Awe need a pos

The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Act

21、ually, much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts（分心）us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams, we may find it hard to concentrate on what were doing and we have a tendency to forget what we

22、have consumed anyway.A new study from Swedens KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes your short-term working memory.Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter informatio

23、n and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransn, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to stuff more information

24、 in the working memory.In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. And when you try to store many things in your working in your working memory, you get le

25、ss good at processing information.It is the periods of downtime of your brainpreferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphonethat are needed for memory consolidation and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. Besides, you can empty your mi

26、nd of thoughts quickly to relax completely, go for a short walk or spend s few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity.1、What can we learn abut social media overload from Paragraph 1?AIt distracts our atention.BIt is

27、beneficial to us.CIt brings us whatever we want.DIt keeps us informed of everything.2、Why does your capacity for processing information begin fall sometimes?AMuch of the information is unimportant.BYou dont make the most of your brain.CYoure less good at processing information.DYour working memory i

29、ent.23（8分）In Shanghais Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. S

30、ome other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.Its the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve Chinas tra

31、ditional ethnic music.Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of Chinas remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more tha

32、n a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.“I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good,” she says. “But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”So

33、Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation. “Young people dont like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind o

34、f repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage.”Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. “China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top,” she says. “For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go

35、 on our own path. So what can represent China today?” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”.1、From the first paragraph, we learn that _.Athe audience are all young peopleBGuo Yong is playing the Buyi folk musicCGuo Yong is the only minority performer on the

A nine-year-old boy in particular stuck with him. He has an a

47、lcoholic mother and an absent father. But each day he would walk in to school with a smile on his face. He wanted to make sure that no one would feel pity for him and no one would know his mothers incompetence.” The boy exhibited a quality Garmezy identified as “resilience”.Resilience presents a cha

48、llenge for psychologists. People who are lucky enough to never experience any sort of adversity (逆境) wont know how resilient they are. Its only when theyre faced with obstacles, stress, and other environmental threats that resilience, or the lack of it, comes out. Some give in and some conquer.Garme

49、zy s work opened the door to the study of the elements that could enable an individuals success despite the challenges they faced. His research indicated that some elements had to do with luck, but quite large set of elements was psychological, and had to do with how the children responded to the en

50、vironment. The resilient children had what psychologists call an “internal lens of control(内控点)”. They believed that they, and not their circumstances, affected their achievements. The resilient children saw themselves as the arrangers of their own fates.Ceorge Bonanno has been studying resilience f

51、or years al Columbia University s Teachers College. He found that some people are far better than others at dealing with adversity. This difference might come from perception(认知) whether they think of an event as traumatic(创伤), or as an opportunity to learn and grow. “Stressful” or “traumatic” event

52、s themselves dont have much predictive power when it comes to life outcomes. Exposure to potentially traumatic events does not predict later functioning,” Bonanno said. Its only predictive if theres a negative response.” In other words, living through adversity doesnt guarantee that youll suffer goi

53、ng forward.The good news is that positive perception can be taught. We can make ourselves more or less easily hurt by how we think about things, Bonanno said. In research at Columbia, the neuroscientist Kevin Ochsner has shown that teaching people to think of adversity in different ways-to reframe i

54、t in positive terms when the initial response is negative, or in a less emotional way when the initial response is emotionally “hot”-changes how they experience and react to the adversity.1、According to the passage, resilience is an individuals ability_.Ato think criticallyBto decide ones own fateCt
