Especially now weve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings whether its after losing

55、a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So its no surprise that more and more people are taking them.But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isnt. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat

56、 normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose. Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purposeand if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists insist not. Sadness has a unpleasant habit of turning into depression they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs

57、 to make themselves feel better.So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a kind of self-protection, as other primates (灵长类) also show signs of sadness.

58、A losing monkey that doesnt show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey and that could result in death.In humans sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we

59、 need support.Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make

60、people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s

61、 or 10s. The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.63. The underlined word “this” refers to _.

62、hing horrible never to touchC. a necessary function of humans D. always to be treated as depression65. Some animals show their sadness in order to _. A. cheat their enemy B. protect themselves C. comfort the loser D. challenge the winner66. We can infer from the last paragraph that _. A. people with

63、 great creativity tend to be happier B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater careerC. too much happiness can be bad for your careerD. the happiest people are the most successful ones E “The worlds oceans are slowly getting more acidic(酸的),” say scientists. The researchers from California repo

64、rt that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.The lowering of the waters PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn. Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Li

65、vermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature. Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater. Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid. Scientists believe that the oceans have a

66、lready become slightly more acidic over the last century.These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change. “This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we cont

67、inue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,” said Dr Caldeira. And we predict the amount of future acidity will be greater than anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years.However, it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life. Most organisms live near the surface, wher

68、e the greatest PH change would be expected to occur, but deepocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes. Coral reefs and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate(碳酸钙) may be particularly affected if the waters acidity levels keep going up, the team predict. They could find it

69、 much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming. But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be reconsidered. “Previously, m

70、ost experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thingbecause in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet, and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean, it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming.”67. The ocean is becoming more acidic due to_.A. the lower water PH valueB.

71、 the warming atmosphereC. the higher level of CO2 in the airD. the increasing use of oil fuels68. According to Dr Caldeira, _.A. ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thingB. more oil fuels will be used in the near futureC. scientists may predict climate changes with computer modelsD. the fut

72、ure situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious69. If the waters acidity level keeps rising, _. www.ks5 高#考#资#源#网A. ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affectedB. the waters PH value will become higher and higherC. organisms living near the surface are more sensi
