    Happiness and sadness are states of being states of being that define the way we view the world. It is often said that some people by nature have a sunny character. Now scientists may have discovered why.
    Some people may be hard-wired for happiness, while others are genetically negative, as
    scientists have suggested in a study published in late February, in a British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
    Earlier research had already established that the gene known as 5-HTTLPR plays a key role in
    determining how the neurotransmitter (神经传递素) serotonin (血清素) works within the brain. Serotonin, a hormone (荷尔蒙), passes chemical messages between nerve cells. It has been closely linked to mood. Several anti-depressant (抗抑郁) drugs regulate serotonin levels. Scientists had also identified three variants of the gene. Two so-called "short" variants were linked to a higher risk of depression and suicide attempts. Unlike the two "short" variants, the "long" variant of 5-HTTLPR showed a clear dislike of negative images, such as fierce animals, and a clear liking for positive ones, such as flowers.
    Researchers from the University of Essex in Britain, led by Elaine Fox, showed participants a
    series of images. The images were divided into three kinds: negative ones aimed at inspiring fear or stress such as a spider or person about to commit suicide, pleasant ones and neutral ones.
    “The participants who had the long variant of the 5-HTTLPR gene showed a clear dislike of negative material alongside a careful attention for positive material,” the researchers found. They paid close attention to the pretty pictures, and ignored the frightening ones. On the other hand, the short variant groups had the opposite reaction.
    In January, the Australian government organized "happiness workshops", teaching government
    staff how to be happy. The department that held the "happiness workshops" said unhappy staff weren't productive staff. Australian political opposition parties have argued that the "happiness workshops" are probably a waste of money and couldn't increase productivity as intended. However, whether the workshop will have a happy or disappointing result, we will have to wait and see.
    67.Form the third paragraph, we know that         .
    A.affected by 5-HTTLPR, the neurotransmitter serotonin works within the blood
    B.there are 5 variants of 5-HTTLPR genes which control people’s moods
    C.how the neurotransmitter serotonin works is greatly determined by 5-HTTLPR
    D.5-HTTLPR receives chemical messages from verve cells
    68.What does “It” in the sentence “It has been closely linked to mood.” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?
    A.Serotonin.          B.A nerve cell.        C.5-HTTLPR.         D.The brain.
    69.If a person had the long variant of 5-HTTLPR, he or she would probably         .
    A.like the images of spiders                     B.prefer the images of crocodiles
    C.enjoy an image of green tress                D.suffer from depression very often
    70.What can we infer from the passage?
    A.People’s moods can change a little bit under the influence of certain drugs.
    B.Researchers showed participants of the research two kinds of images.
    C.A person possesses one long and one short variant of 5-HTTLPR at the same time.
    D.The author firmly believes that “happiness workshops” will not change people’s moods.

  • 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。


生活感悟类阅读解题指导:

一、文章特点:

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”,点出全文的中心思想,就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂,耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似,一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句(论点),其它句子围绕主题展开论述(论据),论证方法多种多样,或举例,或引用名言,或正反对照等。

二、解题技巧:

针对生活感悟类文章的特点,做这类文章的完形填空时,要特别注意以下几点:
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文,找出when,where,who,what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔,充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句,有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域,而是谈一些小事和简单的道理,所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣,读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度,从而提高做题的准确度。因此,考生在平时要做一个有心人,即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事,思考人生的一些基本道理,多阅读一些短小精悍的美文,多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心,做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
