Happy memories are pleasant; sad memories are painful. So what helps us remember the good moments and
51 the bad ones? The answer is a mixture of personality, gender(性别) and the
52 someone uses to make sense of their feelings.
Once in a survey, scientists invited seventy-one
53 , 38 women and 33 men, to fill out a questionnaire. From their answers to the
54 , scientists were able to work out their personalities and more than 100 memories of each person. From analyses of differences between personality and
55 , they found that people who were out-going and confident were more likely to
56 pleasant experiences than bad ones. People who were sensitive, greedy and selfish tended to
57 think about bad memories. Both men and women with these
58 also recalled more bad memories.
However, the way men and women try to deal with bad memories is quite
59 . For men, to remain optimistic so as to think about a bad memory
60 can lead to recall more pleasant memories, but suppressing(抑制) the bad memories brings neither
61 memories nor bad ones. For women,
62 the bad memories usually brings an even lower mood than before, which means that women are more likely to suffer from depression than men. Those
63 people, as it is mentioned before, usually women, recollect unpleasant memories and
64 they feel sad.
Scientists suggest the best ways to deal with bad memories are to be
65 , never stay in a bad mood for too long and try to think about our memories from a positive angle.
