46、n than men D. cell phones make one-on-one personal contact easy CResearchers found that walking around with a forced smile and fake happiness simply leads to people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more than men

47、 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 thats bad for the organization.” H

48、e also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didnt 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 effe

49、cts on men and women. Dr. Scotts team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, compared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of pleasant memories.Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than mens. However, th

50、ey 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

51、 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, its not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. “There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you start t

52、o feel unreal. Youre trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.”61. Dr. Scotts findings may be important to some employers because _. A. their workers dont want to work all the time B. they want more female workers than male workers C. the

53、ir workers worsen their moods at the end of the day D. they tend to force their workers to smile in public62. According to the passage, Dr. Scotts study _. A. is meaningful as there havent been many similar ones B. aimed to make people more productive C. examined more women than men D. is supported

54、by some big employers 63. It is implied in the passage that deep acting _. A. cannot improve our moods at all B. does harm to our feelings in the long run C. makes people happy by feeling like another person D. has no effect on men 64. What is the best title for the passage? A. An important suggesti

55、on for workers.B. Women shouldnt be forced to smile. C. Fake smiling makes people unhappy.D. Why people dont want to work.DIn 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I took what I could get-a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild a

56、rea: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen - teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My studen

57、ts took a week off when hunting season began. I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching En

58、glish. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class - seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature

59、come alive and to promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would

60、disappear as I gave my students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seems reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster, known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced

61、 teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back of the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasnt hap

62、pening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the classroom, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest

63、of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was

64、 not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When he spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them”. he repeated.” No wonder they are bored. Why not get to the meat of literature and stop talkin

65、g about symbolism. Talk with them, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior”? We talked. He named my problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacherAs the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing l

66、iterature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emersons words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding

67、road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that difficult first year, the school is my home now.65. It can be inferred from the story that in 1974 _.
