Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply emphasize how unhappy they are.
The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by referring to older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better.If you tell your friend that he may be an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults.In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write passages opposing funding for the disabled.When they were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem(自尊).The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes.Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell.When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”
Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the experiment.In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy(心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse.Meditation(静思) techniques, on the contrary, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a large, more realistic perspective(视野).Call it the power of negative thinking.
小题1:The Canadian researchers find that _____.
A.encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good |
B.there can be no simple cure for psychological problems |
C.unhappy people cannot think positively |
D.the power of positive thinking is limited |

B.You are pointing out the mistakes he has made. |
C.You are emphasizing the fact that he is not clever. |
D.You are trying to make him feel better about his faults. |
A.It is important for people to continually improve their self-esteem. |
B.Thinking positively can bring a positive change to one’s mood. |
C.People with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings. |
D.Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem. |
A.The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person. |
B.Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy. |
C.Different people tend to have different ways of thinking. |

It is necessary to set reasonable, intelligent goals in order to succeed in life. Do not be unrealistic because life is not a fairy tale. But you should try to recognize what you want, and to be as specific as possible when attempting to visualize(形象化) or otherwise express what your goals in life are.
In order for a goal to sufficiently motivate you, it needs to be a major one. The bigger your goals are, then the more motivated you will need to be to work towards accomplishing them. If you want, for example, to be the greatest concert pianist, in the world, then you are going to find yourself a lot more motivated than you would be if your goal were merely to, say, play a couple of Beethoven pieces extremely well. If you are a beginner, then no doubt mastering those tough songs is a very intelligent and realistic goal to set. But if that is your only goal as a pianist, then you will stop growing as a pianist once that goal has been achieved. This is why it is necessary to constantly stop and re-evaluate our goals so that we are aware of what they are, and thus stay motivated.
小题1:From the passage, if your goals have all been achieved, you should then ______.
A.ask yourself some serious questions |
B.take a hard look at your success |
C.set some other intelligent goals |
D.stretch yourself to relax |
A.set as big a goal as possible |
B.try hard to realize your dream |
C.make your goals practical |
D.abandon all your ambitions |
A.is not suitable for the pianist |
B.is appropriate for a beginner |
C.stops you from growing as a pianist |
D.is very easy to achieve |
A.Set Intelligent Goals for Yourself |
B.Try to Accomplish Your Goals |
C.Get Yourself More Motivated |
D.Goals Help You to Succeed |

All that seemed 44 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 45 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 47 to help clean cars. The passersby were 48 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 49 ! I feel blessed by being 50 by such wonderful and loving souls.
