【題目】 How can you change negative ( 極其負(fù)面的) thoughts? Many people suggest thinking of something bright and happy. However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.

“It is not surprising that our feeling affects how we walk, but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel,” explained Nikolaus Troje, the lead scientist, to The Independent.

Scientists believe that the way we remember emotional ( 情緒的) messages is affected by our mood. Those who feel sad remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.

In order to prove(證明)this, Troje and his team watched 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步機(jī)) by cameras. Half of the people were encouraged to follow a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept the same for both groups.

Meanwhile, the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words, asking people to decide whether or not each word described them well. Afterwards, people were asked to recall as many words as they could remember.

As expected, those who followed a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that walk in a happy manner.

This shows that our walk influences the way we deal with information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.

1Scientists from Queen’s University think that we can change negative thoughts by .

A.remembering emotional messagesB.thinking about a happy person

C.walking like a happy personD.hanging out with friends

2What does the underlined word “depressive” mean in Paragraph 4?

3What do we know about Troje’s test?

B.47 people recalled all the words after walking.

C.47 people were asked to walk at different speeds.

D.Those who walked like a happy man recalled more positive words than those that followed a depressed walk.

4According to the story, the scientists’ findings can help .

【解析】

你如何改變消極的想法?許多人建議思考一些光明和快樂(lè)的事情。然而,來(lái)自加拿大皇后大學(xué)的科學(xué)家說(shuō),可能還有另一種方法:像一個(gè)快樂(lè)的人一樣走路。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“However, scientists from Queen’s University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.”可知皇后大學(xué)的科學(xué)家認(rèn)為改變消極的想法的另一種方法是:像一個(gè)快樂(lè)的人一樣走路。故選C。

2詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文中的句子“Half of the people were encouraged to follow a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person.”可知文中while連接的兩個(gè)句子是正反對(duì)比的關(guān)系,所以句中的劃線詞depressivehappy是反義關(guān)系。結(jié)合選項(xiàng),可知depressive應(yīng)該是快樂(lè)的反義詞“抑郁的”意思。故選D。

3推理判斷題!those who followed a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that walk in a happy manner.”文中談到遵循抑郁的方式走路的人比以快樂(lè)的方式走路的人記得更多的負(fù)面詞匯?赏茰y(cè)那些走路像一個(gè)快樂(lè)的人的人比那些帶著抑郁的人回憶起更多積極的詞匯。故選D

4細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.”可知使用快樂(lè)的走路方式有助于治療抑郁癥。故選A。
