        [1] As well as increasing memory, being sad makes people less likely to be tricked and improves their ability to judge others，according to an Australian study．

       [2] The study, authored by professor Joseph Foegas at the University of New South Wales，shows that people in a negative mood paid more attention to their surroundings than           ,

who were more likely to believe anything they were told．“While positive moods seem to promote creativity, flexibility, and cooperation，negative moods cause more attentive，careful thinking，paying greater attention to the outside world．”writes Forgas in Australasian Science．

       [3] “Our research suggests that sadness promotes information processing strategies best fit for dealing with more demanding situations．”

       [4] For the study, Forgas and his team conducted several experiments that started with making their subjects (实验对象) experience happy or sad moods by making them watch films and by recalling positive or negative events．

        [5] In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge the truth of some urban myths (神话) and found that people in a negative mood were less likely to believe these statements. People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when asked to recall an event that they witnessed．

[6] The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments．Thus, it showed that a reasonably negative mood may actually promote a more concrete, harmonious and successful communication style

       [7] “Positive moods are not universally desirable．People in a negative mood are less likely to make judgmental errors and more resistant (抵制的) to eyewitness misunderstandings．”said Forgas．

A beautiful, expensively dressed lady complained to her psychiatrist (精神病医师) that she felt that her whole life was empty; it had no meaning.

So the psychiatrist called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors, and then said to the rich lady, “I’m going to ask Mary to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is to listen.”

So the old lady put down her broom, sat on a chair and told her story, “Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody … I had nothing left. I couldn’t sleep; I couldn’t eat; I never smiled at anyone; I even thought of taking my own life. Then one evening, a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and it licked the plate clean. Then it purred comfortably and rubbed against my legs, and for the first time in months, I smiled. Then I stopped to think; if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing something for people could __________. So the next day, I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed. Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I don’t know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I’ve found happiness, by giving it to others.”

When she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy, but she had lost the things which money couldn’t buy.

[1]China will change the world as much as the world changes China, if the country continues its opening up.

[2]How could it not? The rest of the world cannot remain unaffected by the culture of one-fifth of humanity. As China strengthens its economy, allows its citizens more overseas travel and participates in global efforts, the West surely will learn more about Chinese ways.

[3]And once it does, its people might choose to adot some of them.

[4]It might surprise Chinese that Westerners            . When I announced my Beijing job to American friends, family and neighbors, they were very curious and mostly uninformed about China．

[5] Our media carries little news about China except during unusual circumstances, which typically are times of stress between the two countries．We hear about arguments with China over climate change, Taiwan and Tibet, but that doesn' t tell average Americans anything about average Chinese．

[6]Most American- don't know that Chinese weddings feature firecrackers; that Chinese parents make extraordinary sacrifices for their children; that Chinese diners eat off plates smaller than any on a Western table; that favorite Chinese drinks include hot soy milk and the potent white-grain alcohol, baijiu; and that elderly Chinese sometimes walk down streets backwards to keep their balancing skills sharp．

[7]Westemers will learn as they and the Chinese increasingly mingle（接触）．As they do there' s no telling which Chirac customs will take root in foreiffl soil．but some of them surely will．

[8] Maybe we' 11 see baijiu and green tea served at baseball stadiums along with beer and soda pop．That wouldn' t make the game any less American．

[9] Meanwhile, I hope China continues to take in what the world has to offer and transform it into something typically Chinese．To think that exposure to Western ways weakens China, instead of strengthens it, assumes the country' s culture is fragile．That' s a surprising attitude for any Chinese to take．

In that case, some of the Chinese way of life will, possibly, be accepted by the westerners.

第二节：阅读表达(共 5小题，每小题3分，满分15分)

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)

To forgive (宽恕) may be great, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your complaint. But forgiveness is possible — and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.

So how do you start forgiveness? Try following these steps:

Calm yourself. To calm your anger, try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love,” Luskin says.

Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,” Luskin says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you ______________________, you could be waiting an awfully long time.”

Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who cause you pain. “Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,” Luskin says.

Try to see things from the other person's perspective. If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear — even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving

themselves is the biggest challenge,” Luskin says. “But it can rob

you of your self–confidence if you don’t forgive yourself.”
