Many people suggest changing your attitude 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.“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 feel sad remember negative information far more easily than active 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 active 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 remembered more negative words than those that had been walking in a happy manner.This finding means that our walk influences the way we treat information. And the scientists believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.29 . What does the underlined word “negative” mean in the first paragraph?A多变的B冷漠的C消极的D易怒的30 . What new way did scientists from Queens University possibly find to change negative thoughts?ADoing something happy.BThinking of something bright.CWalking like a happy person.DThinking about being a happy person.31 . Which of the following is NOT true about Trojes test?AThe 47 people walked on the treadmill.BHalf of the people walked in a depressive walking style.CAnother half walked in a happy walking style.DThe two groups walked at different speeds.32 . What does the word “them” refer to?AThe walking styles.BThe scientists.CThe list of words.DThe 47 people.33 . According to the story, the finding can help _.Atreat patients with depressionBimprove ones acting skillsCdeal with peoples memory lossDchange a persons exercise habit四、单词填空It was too late at night when an old man came to a small town. He found a small hotel and wanted to stay there for the night. After he went into his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, there must be much money in it.
