most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. luckily, what psychologists are finding may help us all make better choices. here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind. consider your emotions. you might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, but in fact theyre a part of it. whenever you make up your mind, your brains emotional center is active. university of southern california scientist, antonio damasio, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. damasio thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choices, which we use to help the present decision making. however, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. take anger, for example. a study by nitika garg of the university of mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than consider other choices. it seems anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking. all emotions affect our thinking and motivation（动机）, so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. yet strangely theres one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. the american researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. in fact many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world. 59. according to the text, what may help us make better decisions? a. to think about happy times. b. to make many decisions at a time. c. to learn about the process of decision-making. d. to stop feeling regretful about the past. 60. damasios study suggests that _. a. emotions are the enemy of decision making b. our brain has nothing to do with decision making c. our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions d. people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds 61. why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered? a. they often forget their past choices. b. they tend to save time when shopping. c. they make decisions without much thinking. d. they are too angry to bargain. 62. what do we learn from the text? a. sad people always make worst choices. b. emotions are a part of decision making. c. no emotion seems to help us make good choices. d. only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation. v. 口语（10分）b卷（共66分）vi选词填空（共8小题，每小题1分，满分8分）从方框中选择正确的短语并将其序号填入横线，其中两个为多余项。a.concentrated on b.left out c.lose sight of d.the number e. accuseoff.apart from g.make sense of h.consisting of i.depend on j.a number of 63.can you _what the writer is saying?64.we can never _ the reasons why we continue to invest our time,energy and money into road safety.65.i have ,_ that 5 yuan, another ten given by my mother.66. he received a set of china yesterday from his parents_six pieces.67. you have_ a word in this sentence.68. actually,_ my friends think i should take a holiday.69. you shouldnt listen to the rumour.you can _ me.70. this year the company has _improving its efficiency .vii翻译：根据汉语意思完成句子（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）。71. 只有通过努力,我们才能取得成功only by working hard _72.毫无疑问约翰会按时来的。_ john will come on time.73.最令她感兴趣的是那条经度线。 _ was the longtitude line.74.这说明了急救知识的确能发挥重要的作用。it shows that _.信息匹配阅读下列短文，选择恰当的句子将其序号填在横线上.（ 共5 小题，每题2分，共10分）a.try to look at change as a positive challenge,not as a threat.b. there will always be a person that have accomplished more than you.c. our focus may entirely be on how we can deal with the challenge that has come our way.d. when we are not in control of our emotions,we will make decisions that we will regret later.e. however,most people have a hard time accepting and dealing with these challenges that arise.f. as a result,the first thing you should do when faced with a personal challenge is not point fingers at others. g. accept the reality of the present moment. we are all faced with challenges constantly in every area of our lives. 75 the truth is that you will have to deal with difficult problems throughout your life,whether it is in your personal life or career.most of us get really afraid and run away from problems because we dont want to accept reality.running away from your problems is the worst thing you can do to deal with the challenges you are faced with.here are some tips for you on learning how to deal with everyday challenges. please be
