Bad News for the Highly IntelligentThere are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.51 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiologic al “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 52 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent. 53The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 54 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 55In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.E. That may cause the body’s stress respons e, which may make the person even more anxious.F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.51.A 52.C 53.E 54.F 55.B【东城二模】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
七选五高考真题专项训练Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want. The word business also refers to an organization that provides these goods and services. Most businesses seek to make a profit (利润)一that is, they aim to achieve income that is more than the costs of operating the business. 1 Commonly called nonprofits, these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers. 2Business management is a term used to describe the techniques of planning, direction, and control of the operations of a business. 3 One is the establishment (制定)of broad basic policies with respect to production; sales; the purchase of equipment, materials and supplies; and accounting. 4 The third relates to the establishment of standards of work in all departments. Direction is concerned primarily with supervision (监管)and guidance by the management in authority. 5—A.Control includes the use of records and reports to compare actual work with the set standards for work.B.In this connection there is the difference between top management and operative management.C.Examples of nonprofit business include such organizations as social service agencies and many hospitals.D.However, some businesses only seek to earn enough to cover their operating costs.E.The second aspect relates to the application of these policies by departments.F.In the theory of business management, organization has two main aspects.G.Planning in business management has three main aspects.Public Speaking Training•Get a coach] ,so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.•Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 2 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.• 3If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what youYe going to be talking about.4.As far as we're concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.•You are a special person not a cloneMost importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 5 . Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.A.You aren't like anybody elseB.You already do lots of things wellC.Turn your back on too many rulesD.Check the mles about dos and don'tsE.Whatever the presentation, public speaking is toughF .The one thing you don't want is for them to fall asleepG. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worseUrbanizationUntil relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 1 .In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的)villages- It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 2— .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移)of people from the countryside to the city— was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. — 3Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.4— .Until modem times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英)and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5 —Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.A.That kept cities very small.B.The rest live in small towns.C.The effects of urban living on people should be considered.D.Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.E.But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.F.Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.G.Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.1 Try the following steps:Calm yourself 2 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don't wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.3 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者).Rethinking about you hurt, gives power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.4 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.Don't forget to forgive yourself 5 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.A.Why should you forgive?B.How should you start to forgive?C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D.Try to see things from you offender's angle.E.For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F.To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G.If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed from time to time. 1 Some ways of dealing with stress 一like screaming or hitting someone 一don't solve (解决)much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:(1)Get support When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk toa trusted adult, such as parent or other relatives. 2 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.(2)Don f t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh, dear, that's not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don't take it out on yourself 3(3)Try to solve the problem. After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business. 4 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.(4)Be positive. Most stress is temporary(暂廿寸的).Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.These steps aren't magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster. 5A.Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.B.Notice your friends1 feelings and find a way to help them.C.Different people feel stress in different waysD.Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.E.You need to figure out what the problem is.F.And don't forget about your friends.G- Then, find a way to calm down.How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends. Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved intoa new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend.1 But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage. Below are some helpful suggestions on how to make and keep friends.1.Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people. You can go to public places to meet new people. Besides, you will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member of such places.2.Start a conversationStarting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends. 2 You can always start the conversation. Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people.3. 3Choosing friends with common interests is important in building friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together. Hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.4.Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch. However, try not to press your new friend with calls, messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and finally you may lose your friend. 4 The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.5.Enjoy your friendshipThe best way to enjoy your friendship is to allow your friends to be themselves. 5— Try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be. Become the kind of friend you will want your friend to be to you.A.Be cheerful.B.Do things together.C.Do not wait to be spoken to.D.Try not to find fault with your friends.E.Making new friends comes easy for some people.F.For a friendship to develop you need to stay in touch.G.So you will need to give your friend time to react to you.EmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years.1 Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you're showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. 2There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. 3—Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers.Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 1 So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.1.The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services. It is important to show your child how money is traded for the things he wants to have. If he wants to have a toy, give him the money and let him hand the money to the cashier(i|攵乍艮员). 2 When your child grows a bit older and understands the basic function of money, you can start explaining more complex ways of using money.2.Money lessonsApproach money lessons with openness and honesty. 3 If you must say no to a child's request to spend money, explain, “You have enough toy trucks for now.” Or, if the request is for many differ ent things, say, "You have to make a choice between this toy and that toy.”3. 4Begin at the grocery store. Pick out two similar brands of a product——a name brand butter and a generic (无商标产品),for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a product so that you can save money, 5 If he chooses the cheaper brand, allow him to make another purchase with the money saved. Later, you may explain how the more expensive choice leaves less money for other purchases.A.Wise decisionsB.The value of moneyC.Permit the child to choose between them.D.Tell your child why he can— r cannot一have certain things.E.Ask yourself what things that cost money are most important to youF.Talk about how the money bought the thing after you leave the toy store.G.The best time to teach a child anything about money is when he shows an interest.Public Speaking and Critical ThinkingWhat is critical thinking? To a certain degree, it's a matter of logic(逻辑)一of being able to spot weaknesses in other people's arguments and to avoid them in your own. It also includes related skills such as distinguishing fact from opinion and assessing the soundness of evidence.In the broad sense, critical thinking is focused, organized thinking一the ability to see clearly the relationships among ideas, \ The greatest thinkers, scientists, and inventors have often taken information that was readily available and put it together differently to produce new ideas. That, too, is critical thinking.2 As the class goes on, for example, you will probably spend a good deal of time organizing your speeches. While this may seem like a purely mechanical(机械的)exercise, it is closely connected with critical thinking. If the structure of your speech is loose and confused, chances are that your thinking is also disordered and confused. If, on the other hand, the structure is clear, there is a good chance your thinking is too. Organizing a speech is not just a matter of arranging the ideas you already have. 3What is true of organization is true of many aspects of public speaking. 4 As you work on expressing your ideas in clear, accurate language, you will improve your ability to think clearly and accurately. 5 As you learn to listen critically to speeches in class, you will be better able to assess the ideas of speakers in a variety of situations.If you take full advantage of your speech class, you will be able to develop your skills as critical thinker in many circumstances.

What do you hear?1 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That'sbecause this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called n elevator (电梯)music11 because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak”. About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak” every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.2If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don r t want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why?3Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background.4 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.5 They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!A.Some people don't like Muzak.B.The music gives them extra energy.C.Music is playing in the background.D.Factory workers produce 13 percent more.E.Muzak tends to help people understand music better.F.They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.G.Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.2013新课标全国1 DCGEA 2013课标卷全国II EBCGA2013北京卷EDBAF2013辽宁卷BFGDE2012新课标全国卷CFAED2012辽宁卷ECBGD2012北京卷BDGFC2011全国卷GFDAC2011北京卷DEAFG2010辽宁卷BAGCD2010北京卷CBFDA4 “Academics are impor tant.

专项练习一For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.1 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today.Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829. 2 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 3 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 4 .By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.5 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A.As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.B.Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.C.He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.D.However, he did not get much business for those products.E.He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.F.Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.G.As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 1The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses.2 So they are called "diseases of civilization".Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 3 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. 4 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.5 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.A.Stone Age people lived a simple life.B.But today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.C.In that case, they would live much healthier.D.Ancient people also got lots of physical exercise.E.These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.F.People today probably don't want to live like our ancestors.G.Modern people used to suffer from "diseases of civilization".For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school.1 Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.The disease, known as ―March Madness‖, refers to the yearly 65 –team US men’s college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 2 Teams compete against each other in a single –elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends.3 Colleagues against bosses.Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little – known universities.This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little – known George Mason University was one of the final four teams. 4College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 5 About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $ 500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post – season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.A. Husbands against wives.B. The players will go all out for the games.C. But that doesn’t mean money isn’t involved.D. College students will ignore piles of homework.E. People are willing to spend more money on watching it.F. It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.G. Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒).1 Jealousy is sometimes known as the ―green –eyed monster‖ and the UK is its home.Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 2 Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.3 .But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.―It is not really success that the British dislike,‖ says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technol ogy. ―It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.‖4They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 5 .It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.B.The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.C.As a r esult, the survey said, entrepreneurs were ―unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.‖D.It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.1 When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure beats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2 .The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3 It included such items as automobile sand new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the ―life-enriching‖level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods a nd services, many of which could be called ―luxury‖ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4One this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5 In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.A.Then a third level appeared.B.Human wants seem endless.C.When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.D.There are several levels of wants in one’s life.E.At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.F.Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.G.Different people have different wants on each level.We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job. 1 .So, you have to give a speech—and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble(结结巴巴)over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, ―Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hop e I never have to do that again.‖Cheep up! 2 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research. Then spend plenty of your time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly. 3 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don’t talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief.4 . And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you will see that you don’t have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You’re not convinced yet? 5 .A. It doesn’t have to be that bad.B. Take several deep breaths before your speech.C. This article gives some advice on how to give a good speech.D. Say what you have to say and then stop.E. Don’t say what you aren’t familiar with.F. Never forget your audience.G. Give it a try and see what happens.There is an English saying:― 1._.‖ Until recently, few people took the saying seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to look into laughter and the effects it has on the human body.2. ___Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their hearts, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. 3._. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group that tolerated(忍耐) the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. 4.___.5.___. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing , making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter.A. Laughter can prolong one’s life.B. As a result of these discoveries, some doctors in the United States now hold laughter clinics in which they help to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh.C. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce a kind of chemicals in the brain which diminish both stress and pain.D. It increases blood pressure, the heart beating and breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet.E. Although laughter helps cure the disease, doctors still can not put this theory into clinic practice.F. Laughter is the best medicine.G. They have found that laughter really can improve people’s health.Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 1 However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.The first experiment is called the ―Hawthorne effect‖ after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2 .The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increase on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation (积极性) and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others ,they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.3 After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in the 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all –white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and the other with brown eyes. Other eye colours such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown – eyed people were cleverer than blue – eyed ones because of an agent (化学作用) for brown colour found in their blood. Blue – eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown – eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue –eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown – eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4 .So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their successes and sympathize(同情) with them in their troubles. 5 .A. Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.B. Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behaviour to you.C. The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore (忽略)others.D. The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behaviour but also their confidence and their performance.F.You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said has a great effect on the students.The seven Cs of a good letterWhat is the secret of writing a good letter? Here are two main ones.
