24、   You might not think much about where your garbage goes. But now you might want to know. On July 1,Shanghai introduced a new garbage sorting policy.People there need to put different kinds of garbage ﹣wet,dry,recyclable and harmful,into different dustbins.Other cities in China will do the same soon.

25、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

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.

26、Dear Teens,

①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?

②One of the answers to these questions is personality(个性). People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes(基因) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors(因素) make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.

③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will help you change your personality.

④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just tell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.

⑤If you are sluggish person who always does things slowly, you' d better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.

⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.

B.Get the joy from giving instead of receiving.

【3】Which of the following does Dr. Olson agree with?

A.You can never change your personality.

B.If you draw a happy face, you can do everything quickly.

C.Help others, and you can change your selfish personality.

D.School learning is the only thing that decides what kind of person you are.
