Many people suggest changing your attitude (态度) by thinking of something bright and happy.However, scientists from Queens University in Canada said that there might be another way: by walking like a happy person.【出处：21教育名师】“It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects (影响) 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 believed that the way we remember emotional (令人动情的) messages is affected by our mood. Those who suffer from depression (抑郁) remember negative information far more easily than positive messages, especially when the information is about them.In order to prove this, Troje and his team used cameras to observe 47 people walking on the treadmill (跑步机). Half of the people were encouraged to mimic (模仿) a depressive walking style, while the other half moved like a happy person. Walking speed was kept equal for both groups.During the time on the treadmill, 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 recite as many of the words as they could remember.As expected, those who had been mimicking a depressed walk recalled more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner.This finding means that our walk influences the way we process information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.34. Which of the following is closest in the meaning to the underlined word “negative” in the first paragraph?A. sad and inactive B. angry and nervousC. patient and straight D. lonely and boring 35.

Thinking about being a happy person.36. Which of the following is NOT true about Trojes test?A. The 47 people walked on the treadmill.B. The two groups walked at different speeds.C. Half of the people walked in a happy walking style.D. Another half walked in a depressive walking style.37. According to the story, the finding can help .A. improve ones living skills B. record peoples happy memory C. change a persons walking habitD. treat patients with depression CDo you know electricity can change the way we taste food? Dont feel surprised at the fact. A special electric fork invented by Japanese researchers could make any dish taste salty.According to Hiromi Nakamura, a Post Doctor Researcher at Meiji University of Japan, the technology can be very useful for people with special eating habits. For example, the sick with high blood pressure (高血压) can easily develop a low-salt eating habit and still enjoy delicious food. And with the fork, theres totally no risk of over-salting their food. Luckily, the voltage (电压) is so small that it is safe to use the fork.The idea of adding electricity to food was first shown to public as an experiment at the Computer Human Interaction Conference in Austin, Texas, in 2012. Nakamura and her team connected a wire (导线) to a 9-volt battery (电池) and passed it through a straw (吸管) placedinacupofsweet lemonade.Volunteersreportedthatthe lemonade tasted not as sweet as it usually was, because the electricity created the taste of salt.Nakamura has improved the technology to be able to make the electricity reach the food through forks and chopsticks. “The metallic part of the fork is one electrode (电极), and the handle is the other,” Nakamura explained. “When you take a piece of food with the fork and put it in your mouth, you connect the circuit. When you take the fork out of your mouth, you disconnect the circuit. So it actually works as a switch.”Simon Klose, TV presenter of food program Munchies, who recently visited Nakamura to try out the fork himself, then said it was one of the greatest eating experiences hed ever had. “When I first heard of electricfood,itsoundedterrible.”hesaid.Helater continued to use the fork to eat pieces of fried chicken, and found that the saltiness greatly increased as the electricity was connected.Nakamura has been eating “electric” food for the past three to four years in order to understand it better. “For me,” she said, “it may seem like were cooking but were actually working on the human taste.”38.The electric fork may be good for people who .A.need to lose weightB. work as researchers C. show interest in physics D. have high blood pressure39.Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A.what creates the taste of salt B.how the electric fork worksC.where the electric fork was invented D.when the technology was known to public40.What can we learn from the passage? A.The electric fork can create unreal taste.B.A researcher from the USA invented the electric fork.C.People can use the electric fork by pushing the switch.D.The idea of adding electricity to food was first shown in a TV program.41. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A Famous Researcher.B. An Interesting Experiment.C. A New Invention. D. A Great Eating Experience.DYou need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley (手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket door, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now youre inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but in some supermarkets, all they have are trolleys. And of course the problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So wemay fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers (标签) on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers are easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction (降价)! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these at once. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see and even reach them.Except what you see and smell in a supermarket, how about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. Its so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest its better to shop when itsquieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful at the checkouts when you pay for the things you buy. These are sometimes on purpose, to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait for your turn. So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come out with just the things you want.42.
