由标题Think Positive and Feel Positive可知，文章围绕积极思维与积极感受这一主题展开。考生在听第一遍时不要急于动笔，要把握文章整体结构，理清思路。听完第一遍可知本文分三部分——通过提问引出文章主题；明示本文观点，即“身边众人的态度会影响人的心态，负面思维会传染”；通过对103名大学室友的研究，证明本文观点。听第二、三遍录音时要按意群来听，抓住句型和关键词，逐词逐句写出完整的句子。听最后一遍录音时要边听边校对，根据句子的语义、语法结构和上下文检查单复数、冠词等容易失分的细节。
文中出现的易错词有insecure和contagious。第三句中注意不要漏掉介词in和on，并且注意该句的最后一个单词是around，不要误听为round。第六句中注意所有格形式roommate"s，因其前限定词为each，因此，roommate为单数，不要将此处误听为roommates。另外，由于这项研究是在过去某一时段开展的，注意相关动词要使用一般过去时。
