people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also
found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy.
Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outcomes. He said, "Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead
to emotional tiredness, and that"s bad for the organization." He also said the research showed
customer-service workers who had "fake smiles" throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didn"t want
to work, so their productivity dropped.
The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and
compare the different effects on men and women. Dr. Scott"s team examined the effects of "surface
acting", or fake smiling, compared to "deep acting", or making people smile by thinking of peasant
memories.
Dr. Scott said, "Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even
more than men"s. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved
more by thinking of pleasant memories. "
According to Dr. Scott, women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are
expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while feeling down is
more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings.
Although deep acting can improve moods a little in the short term, Dr. Scott says, it"s not a long-term
solution to feeling unhappy. "There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you
start to feel unreal. You"re trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel
like yourself any more."
B. is meaningful as there haven"t been many similar ones
C. examined more women than men for a long time
D. aimed to make the employees more productive
B. they should be more emotionally expressive
C. they are often treated in a terrible way
D. they like thinking of pleasant memories
B. cannot improve our moods in any case
C. harms our feelings in the long run
D. pleases people by feeling like another person
B. Women shouldn"t be forced to smile.
C. An important suggestion for workers.
D. Why people don"t want to work.

阅读下列短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and
talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his
parents when he was a teenager.
"I would never have said to my mom," Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?"" says Ballmer. "There was just a complete gap in taste."
Music was not the only gulf (分歧). From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier
generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are
comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust
and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friends."
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
"There"s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change
happening," says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents."
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving(演化的) roles and attitudes. They see
the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more
democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
"My parents were on the "before" side of that change, but today"s parents, the 40-year-olds,were on
the "after" side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It"s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,
because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be
a parent now."
causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars.One expert says that depression is like cancer
because it is "widespread,costly and deadly".Depression hits one person in five around the world.
Although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated,studies
show that depression is a problem among everyone.Over any six-month period,between five to seven
percent of the world"s population will be suffering from a serious depression. uicide(自***)rates among
people suffering from the disease in its extreme,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the
population at large,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks. People who suffer
from depression often have problems sleeping,getting up on time,and doing work productively.
Depression,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes(基因),brings loss of confidence and
ability to concentrate-making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.
Depression is made more serious in China by Chinese"s inability to face it.Many people believe that
depressed people are either weak or lazy. Besides,there is no good treatment,with few specialists
available.
"Most patients in China just don"t get help,"a Chinese doctor says."In my hospital.I have to see 30 or
40 patients in a morning,just have time to say "Hello how do you feel?"
In Western countries,people are not afraid to admit that they have depression,but most do not tell it to
their boss,because they fear that their boss would fire them.
"In my experience,aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it. Because they feel the most
secure about themselves,"an American doctor says.
Hopefully,in the near future,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression
so that they can get the right treatment.
B. Depression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and work
C. Depression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countries.
D. The poorer and the less educated a person is,the less he will suffer from depression.
B. easy to avoid being hit by heart attacks
C. working efficiently and productively
D. either weak or lazy
B. the lack of treatment and doctors
C. their unwillingness to tell it to their boss
D. the doctors" careless work
B. The aging bosses around the world dare to say they are depressed.
C. More and more patients will turn to specialists for help.
D. Western people are braver than Chinese people.
Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they
relive experiences in nightmares.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget
bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it
might reduce, or possibly wipe out the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body
releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain, So far the research has suggested that only the
emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure
to what degree people"s memories are affected.
The research has causeda great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers" troubling memories after war. They
say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people"s lives. They come back to you when you don"t want to have them
in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a
professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School."This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people"s memories and
changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid
the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are.
I"m not sure we want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser ,a medical ethicist.
B. a new research on the pill
C. a way of wiping out painful memories
D. an argument about the research on the pill
B. the pill will certainly stop people"s emotional memories
C. taking the pill will do harm to people"s physical health
D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America
B. people want to get rid of bad memories.
C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
D. the pill will reduce people"s sufferings from bad memories.
B. a textbook
C.a medical magazine
D. a science fiction
systems.Although it"s quite a rare error, it"s one of the most stopping what you"re doing and restarting
your computer-making you lose all your unsaved data.This is a big problem, but there is actually a very
easy way to fix it.
There are two reasons why the physical memory dump happens.The first is pretty simple and is to do
with the "hardware", and if any of thesepieces are not fit for your system, it will cause the physical
memory dump.So, if you"ve recently added any hardware to your PC, then take that out and see if it
works.
The other reason is your system, the "registry".The registry is a big database that operates in the
background of Windows, storing all sorts of settings and information about your PC.The problem with
the registry is that since it has so many important files inside, it"s constantly got hundreds of files open
every time you use your PC.And because there are so many files to open at once, Windows is constantly
getting confused, leading it to save many of these files in the wrong way.These files go wrong when saved wrongly, making them difficult for your computer to read.However, if it can"t read the files at all, it has no
choice but to stop everything it"s doing and restart your PC.This is why the physical memory dump error
appears so easily-because when a registry file is so wrong that it can"t be read, your computer needs to
refresh itself immediately.
This latter reason for causing the physical memory dump is actually extremely common and the
likelihood is that your PC is suffering from it, if you"re seeing this error.Luckily, it"s also incredibly easy to
fix-you just need to use a software tool called a "registry cleaner" to go through the registry and fix all the
problems in there.
B. the dump can be dealt with easily
C. only the advanced computers suffers from the error
D. the dump error can cause the data in your PC to be lost
B. your Windows needs to be upgraded
C. you have saved wrong files in the PC
D. you have stored too many files in the PC.
B. It must open 100 files every time you use your PC.
C. The register doesn"t agree with the database.
D. The register must save many important files inside.
B. A software which can remove unnecessary files
C. A software which can repair the machine.
D. A software which makes your PC down.
Agoura Hills, California, plan to pick up trash during their city"s annual cleanup. At the same time,
Wissam Raed, 12, will be busy volunteering too. Thousands of miles away in Lebanon, Wissam plans
to put on a play at an orphanage and bring potted plants to elderly people at a senior citizen center.
Some other children like Nathan White, 10, have personal reasons for volunteering. Nathan"s
grandmother died of a heart attack. To help raise money for medical research, Nathan participated in
Jump Rope for Heart. He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and
collected more than US$1,200 in donations for the American Heart Association.
Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year. Schools and
parents also contribute to the rise in youth service. For example, many schools offer community service
activities for students to join. Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make
service work a requirement. Parents, on the other hand, encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with
them.
Community service is particularly important in this depression time. As the need for monetary support
and other aid has increased, many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in
donations. Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the
gaps.
According to research, kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds
when they are adults. So, grab a paintbrush, a trash bag, or whatever you need to help your community.
You"ll love how you feel after helping others. Even dirty work can be lots of fun, if it"s for a good cause.
B. To ask charity organizations to serve the community.
C. To urge children to take part in volunteering activities.
D. To propose alternatives for doing community services.
B. Families and schools help to make community service popular.
C. Children now depend more on their teachers than on their parents.
D. Nathan White had a special reason to raise money for medical research.
B. It teaches children to take care of the sick.
C. It gives charity organizations some needed help.
D. It encourages parents and teachers to work together.
B. Children will probably leave school and work as volunteers.
C. Organizing sports events for the school is a kind of community service.
D. Children who do volunteer work are more likely to grow up to be caring adults
