    New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue; you may also be seeing it differently. Your mood may affect how you see the world around you, according to a new study. A team of researchers has proved that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.

    The team, led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester, found that people who had a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis (轴), compared to people who weren’t feeling sad.

    “We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena, like mood, even when these concepts seem unrelated,” Thorstenson said in a statement. “We thought maybe a reason why these metaphors (比喻) appear was that there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way.”

    Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition. In 2010, Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first proved a link between mood and identifying colors. This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Fam of the University of Singapore.

    The team conducted two studies. In the first, 127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips, which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness or amusement. They didn’t do that in a specific order. The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color changes. The group that had been shown the sad clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis.

    For the second study, 130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral (中性的) one. The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.

    1.If one ________, the colors he sees might be different from those in others’ eyes.

    A. is in a good moodB. has an eye illness

    C. attends a speechD. doesn’t feel happy

    2.Who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours?

    A. Thorstenson and Johnson.B. Thorstenson and his team.

    C. Johnson and his team.D. Emaneuel and his team.

    3.The sadness group in the second study ________.

    A. felt happy when watching the video

    B. performed better than the other

    C. were less able to identify some colours

    D. could only identify blue and yellow

    4.What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably mean?

    A. In no specific place.

    B. With no specific rule.

    C. With no specific confidence.

    D. At no specific time.

    In eighth grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse(节) before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas song didn’t get me any role.

    Am I embarrassed? NO. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.

    Researchers have conducted many studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re able to do well and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.

    Growing up, I was type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.

    When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake coming a lesson, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.

    More importantly, if you are always worried about looking silly, you will never be able to get improved. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: What’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.

    1.By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ________.

    A. it is time to forgive others

    B. everyone may make mistakes

    C. it’s okay to make mistakes

    D. what can be done to forgive our mistakes

    2.What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?

    A. A mistake makes you more likeable.

    B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.

    C. People mess up in life at times.

    D. It’s good to share a great story with others

    3.According to the passage, we know the author ________.

    A. is pleased with her hard work

    B. was once a person who wants things to be perfect

    C. was happy with her high standard

    D. never forgives herself for the mistakes she made

    4.What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?

    A. Making a fool of yourself.

    B. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.

    C. Admitting mistakes is risky.

    D. People tend to feel sorry for themselves.
