24、Decisions, decisions! 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 (心理历程) that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists 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 (情感). 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 brain’s emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage (损伤) 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】What does the underlined word “central” mean?
A.important
B.easy to reach
C.in the middle
【2】Damasia’s study suggests that ________.
A.emotions are the enemy of decision-making
B.people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds
C.our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions
【3】According to the text, what may help us make better decisions?
A.To think about happy times.
B.To stop feeling regretful about the past.
C.To learn about the process of decision-making.
【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 shopping.
【5】What do we learn from the text?
A.Emotions are a part of decision-making.
B.Sad people always make worse choices.
C.Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation.
25、One day, Mr Brown took a train from Paris to Frankfurt. When he got on the train, he said to the conductor(售票员), “Sir, could you help me?

26、 Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it’s organized(有条理的).When you put away a book-or memory-you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
【1】the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ______.
A.they have memory problems

B.What we see goes into long-term memory first.
C.We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory.
D.We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory.
【3】The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ______.
A.keeps many books like a large library
B.works like a well-organized library
C.provides any book you want
D.leaves memory anywhere
【4】Which is one example of ”thinking about the word in new ways” in Paragraph 3?
A.Making sentences with the word.
B.Listening to some familiar stories.
C.Talking with people that you know.
D.Drawing pictures of the word on paper.

Experts say there’s a middle ground between introvert and extrovert personality types. They are called “ambiverts”, according to The Wall Street Journal. Introverts don’t like crowds and enjoy keeping their ________ to themselves. Extroverts, however like meeting new people and being the center of attention. Ambiverts, ________ the name suggests, have both introverted and extroverted characteristics. But neither set of characteristics is completely in ________. ________, they can move between being social and being alone very easily. For example, ambiverts often ________ being with other people. But after a long day of work, they may prefer reading a book or watching a TV series at home alone.
“It is like they’re bilingual (双语的),” Daniel Pink, the host of Crowd Control, a US TV series on human behavior, told The Wall Street Journal. “They can connect with a wider range of people the same way someone who ________ both English and Spanish can.”
