when you are at odds with someone close to you, the one-minute drill can show you how to express your feelings effectively and how to listen more skillfully. all it requires is two individuals who are committed to improving their relationship. set aside at least ten minutes, and then sit facing each other. decide who will be the talker and who will be the listener. it makes no difference, because later you will change roles. how to perform the one-minute drill for approximately 30 seconds, the talker can say anything he or she wants. your job will be to express your thoughts and feelings. you can discuss problems youve had a hard time talking about. remember to limit yourself to about 30 seconds. when the talker finishes, the listener will summarize what the talker just said, as well as how the talker was feeling inside, as accurately as possible. the talker now gives the listener a grade between 0 and 100 per cent to indicate how accurate the summary was. if the rating is 95 per cent or more, you can change roles; the new talker can continue with the same topic or move on to something entirely new. however, if the grade is below 95 per cent, the talker should point out what the listener missed or got wrong, and repeat the process until the overall rating is 95 per cent or more. then you can change roles and repeat the exercise for as long as you both like. how it works thirty seconds of emotionally charged information is sufficiently challenging for anyone. express your feelings in strong, clear, direct language, but as your partner will be listening attentively, you wont need to shout, exaggerate or put your partner down. the listener should sit and listen respectfully without interrupting. look into your partners eyes, but avoid using negative body language. if you like, take a few notes. so the talker might say: when i come home from work, i feel tired and i need some quiet time. but you tell me im supposed to spend time with the kids. this makes me feel frustrated. i work hard and im exhausted at the end of the day. i feel like i deserve a little time to relax, not listen to more demands. in response, the listener might summarize like this: you just told me that you feel exhausted when you come home at night because youve been working hard all day. when i tell you i want you to spend time with the kids, you feel frustrated and ticked off because youre tired and you need time to relax. you see me as very demanding, and youre probably feeling like i dont appreciate you. the first time you attempt the one-minute drill, you may get a low score. dont worry, because youll get up to speed quickly. once youve tried this exercise a few times, youll find that you can nearly always get ratings of 95 per cent or better on the first or second try. 41. who is the one-minute drill intended for? a. those who are to act some roles in a certain play for the first time in their life. b. those who are preparing for the interview in order to make a good first impression. c. those who have difficulty communicating with their colleagues or family members. d. those who have troubled relationships with their friends or family members and try to improve them.42. which of the following is not true? a. in the one-minute drill, the talker and the listener change roles in the process. b. the talker should talk about his / her thoughts and feelings in a brief way. c. the listener should listen carefully, respectfully and later summarize accurately. d. after the talker finishes talking, the listener is to give him / her a grade.43. from the example given in “how it works,” we can guess that the talk might be between _. a. husband and wife b. father and son c. mother and daughter d. sister and brother44. what does the underlined part “ticked off” probably mean in this reading? a. fast asleep b. very angry c. burst into tears d. marked with a symbol bimagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion-a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. people might not be able to stay alive; knowing neither joy nor pleasure, neither anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. they could not learn; they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments. society would soon disappear; people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. human relationships would not exist; in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. societys economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed; since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning$10. there would be no motivation to work. in fact, there would be no motivations of any kindfor as we will see, motivations imply a capacity to enjoy themin such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptationemotions structure the world for us in important ways. as individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. true，we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an objects physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us-hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. we also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families，communities, and overall societyout of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are “good”，and others are “bad”, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life-from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. in fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself. it gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal and penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts45. the reason why people might not be able to stay alive in a world without emotion is that . a. they would not be able to tell the texture of objects b. they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful c. they would not be happy with a life without love d. they would do things that hurt each others feelings46. according to the passage, peoples learning activities are possible because they a. believe that emotions are most important for them to stay alive b. benefit from providing help and support to one another c. enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thing d. know what is important to the progress of society47. it can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society depends on a. the ability to make money b. the will to work for pleasure c. the capacity to enjoy motivations d. the categorizations of our emotional experiences48. emotions are significant for mans survival and adaptation because a. they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objects b. they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintained c. they encourage people to perform dangerous achievements d. they generate more love than hate among people49.the emotional aspects of an object are more important than its physical aspects because they a. help society exploit its members for profit b. encourage us to perform important tasks c. help to perfect the legal and penal system d. help us adapt our behavior to the world surrounding uscantidepressant（抗忧郁）drugs such as prozac were viewed in the early 1900s as wonder pills that would remove depressive blues for good. but in the past five years, growing scientific evidence has shown these drugs work for only a minority of people. and now a research journal says that these antidepressants can make many patients depression worse. this alarming suggestion centres on the very chemical that is targeted by antidepressants-serotonin （血清素）. drugs such as prozac are known as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors(or ssris). their aim is to increase the level of this feel-good chemical in the brainbut the new research, published in the journal frontiers in evolutionary psychology, points out that serotonin is like a chemical swiss army knife, performing a very wide range of jobs in the brain and body. and when we start changing serotonin levels purposely, it may cause a wide range of unwanted effects. these can include digestive problems and even early deaths in older people, according to the studys lead researcher paul andrews. we need to be much more cautious about use of these drugs, says andrews, an assistant professor of evolutionary psychology at mcmaster university in ontario, canada. previous research has suggested that the drugs provide little benefit for most people with mild depression, and actively help only a few of the most severely depressed. famous psychologist irving kirsch has found that for many patients, ssris are no more effective than a placebo pill. a research in 2010 on danish children found a small, but significant, increase in the risk of heart problems among babies whose mothers had used ssris in early pregnancy（怀孕）. the key to understanding these side-effects is serotonin, says andrews. serotonin is also the reason why patients can often end up feeling still more depressed after they have finished a course of ssri drugs. he argues that ssri antidepressants disturb the brain, leaving the patient an even greater depression than before. after long use, when a patient stops taking ssris, the brain will lower its levels of serotonin production, he says, adding that it also changes the way receptors in the brain respond to serotonin, making the brain less sensitive to the chemical. these changes are believed to be temporary, but studies indicate that the effects may continue for up to two years. most disturbingly of all, andrews review features three recent studies which, he says ,show that elderly antidepressant users are more likely to die earlier than non-users, even after taking other important variables into account. one study, published in the british medical journal last year, found patients given ssris were more than 4 per cent more likely to die in the next year than those not on the drugs. serotonin is an ancient chemical, says andrews. it is regulating many different processes, and when you disturb these things, you can expect that it is going to cause some harm. stafford lightman, professor of medicine at the university of bristol, and a leading uk expert in brain chemicals and hormones, says andrews review highlights some important problems, yet it should also be taken with a pinch of salt. this report is doing the opposite of what drug companies do, he says. “drug companies selectively present all the positives in their research, while this search selectively presents all the negatives that can be found. nevertheless, andrews study is useful in that it is always worth pointing out that there is a downside to any medicine. professor lightman adds that there is still a great deal we dont know about ssris-not least what they actually do in our brains. when it comes to understanding why the drugs work only for a limited part of patients, u.s. scientists think they might now have the answer. they think that in many depressed patients, its not only the lack of feel-good serotonin causing their depression, but also a failure in the area of the brain that produces new cells throughout our lives. this area, the hippocampus, is also responsible for regulating mood and memory. research suggests that in patients whose hippocampus has lost the ability to produce new cells, ssris do not bring any benefit. 50. according to paragraph 2, serotonin, like a chemical swiss army knife, can . a. make many patients depression worse b. cause a wide
