blanks. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.
Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the
world and the meaning of life-and less time talking about the weather? {{U}}
1 {{/U}}______. "We found this so interesting, because it
could have gone the other way-it could have been, 'Don't worry, be happy'—as
long as you surf on the shallow level of life you're happy, and if you go into
the existential depths you'll be unhappy," Dr. Mehl said. {{U}} 2
{{/U}}______. "By engaging in meaningful conversations, we manage
to impose meaning on an otherwise pretty chaotic world, " Dr. Mehl said. "And
interpersonally, as you find this meaning, you bond with your interactive
partner, and we know that interpersonal connection and integration is a core
fundamental foundation of happiness." Dr. Mehl's study was
small and doesn't prove a cause-and-effect relationship between the kind of
conversations one has and one's happiness. {{U}} 3
{{/U}}______. The study, published in the journal Psychological
Science, involved 79 college students-32 men and 47 women-who agreed to wear an
electronically activated recorder with a microphone on their lapel that recorded
30-second snippets of conversation every 12.5 minutes for four days, creating
what Dr. Mehl called "an audio diary of their day." {{U}}
4 {{/U}}______. A conversation about a TV show wasn't
always considered small talk; it could be categorized as substantive if the
speakers analyzed the characters and their motivations, for example. Many
conversations were more practical and did not fit in either category, including
questions about homework or who was taking out the trash, for example, Dr. Mehl
said. Over all, about a third of all conversation was ranked as substantive, and
about a fifth consisted of small talk. But the happiest person
in the study, based on self-reports about satisfaction with life and other
happiness measures as well as reports from people who knew the subject, had
twice as many substantive conversations, and only one-third of the amount of
small talk as the unhappiest, Dr. Mehl said. Almost every other conversation the
happiest person had-45.9 percent of the day's conversations— were substantive,
while only 21.8 percent of the unhappiest person's conversations were
substantive. {{U}} 5 {{/U}}______.
Next, Dr. Mehl wants to see if people can actually make themselves happier by
having more substantive conversations. "It's not that easy, like taking a pill
once a day," Dr. Mehl said. "But this has always intrigued me. Can we make
people happier by asking them, for the next five days, to have one extra
substantive conversation every day?" A. It may sound
unreasonable, but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and
less time engaging in small talk seem to be happier, said Matthias Mehl, a
psychologist at the University of Arizona. B. Just try having a
substantive conversation in a group of moms...absolutely impossible. No matter
what topic you start off with, the subject of the discussion invariably moves
back to their kids. C. People who feel the most intensely will
likely fall into the more extreme categories such as very happy or very sad, and
the questionnaire likely attracted participants who were more in the "very
happy" phase of their life because the very sad people are
non-participants. D. Researchers then went through the tapes
and classified the conversations as either small talk about the weather or
having watched a TV show, and more substantive talk about current affairs,
philosophy, the difference between Baptists and Catholics or the role of
education. E. But, he proposed, substantive conversation seemed
to hold the key to happiness for two main reasons. both because human beings are
driven to find and create meaning in their lives, and because we are social
animals who want and need to connect with other people. F. But
that's the planned next step, when he will ask people to increase the number of
substantive conversations they have each day and cut back on small talk, and
vice versa. G. Small talk made up only 10 percent of the
happiest person's conversations, while it made up almost three times as much-or
28.3 percent-of the unhappiest person's conversations.

填空题But let no one think that pleasure is immoral. Pleasure in itself is a great good, all pleasure, but its consequences may be such that the sensible person eschews certain varieties of it. Nor need pleasure be gross and sensual. They are wise in their generation who have discovered that intellectual pleasure is the most satisfying and the most enduring. It is well to acquire the habit of reading. There are few sports in which you can engage to your own satisfaction after you have passed the prime of life: there are no games except patience, chess problems and crossword puzzles that you can play without someone to play them with you. Reading suffers from no such disadvantages: there is no occupation—except perhaps needle-work, but that leaves the restless spirit at liberty—which you can more easily take up at any moment, for any period, and more easily put aside when other calls press upon you: there is no other amusement that can be obtained in these happy days of public libraries and cheap editions at so small a cost. To acquire the habit of reading is to construct for yourself a refuge from almost all the miseries of life.

填空题Most people would not object to living a few years longer than normal, as long as it meant they could live those years in good health. Sadly, the only proven way to extend the lifespan of an animal in this way is to reduce its calorie intake. Studies going back to the 1930s have shown that a considerable reduction in consumption (about 50%) can extend the lifespan of everything from dogs to nematode worms by between 30% and 70%. Although humans are neither dogs nor worms, a few people are willing to give the calorie-restricted diet a try in the hope that it might work for them, too. But not many—as the old joke has it, give up the things you enjoy and you may not live longer, but it will sure seem as if you did. Now, though, work done by Marc Hellerstein and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that it may be possible to have, as it were, your cake and eat it too. Or, at least, to eat 95% of it. Their study, to be published in the American Journal of Physiology—Endocrinology and Metabolism, suggests that significant gains in longevity might be made by a mere 5% reduction in calorie intake. The study was done on mice rather than people. But the ubiquity of previous calorie-restriction results suggests the same outcome might well occur in other species, possibly including humans. However, you would have to fast on alternate days. (41)__________ Cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells. For a cancer to develop efficiently, it needs multiple mutations to accumulate in the DNA of the cell that becomes the tumor's ancestor. (42)__________ A slower rate of cell division thus results in a slower accumulation of cancer-causing mutations. (43)__________ Heavy water is heavy because the hydrogen in it weighs twice as much as ordinary hydrogen(it has a proton and a neutron in its nucleus, instead of just a proton). Chemically, however, it behaves like its lighter relative. This means, among other things, that it gets incorporated into DNA as that molecule doubles in quantity during cell division. (44)__________ Dr Hellerstein first established how much mice eat if allowed to feed as much as they want. Then he set up a group of mice that were allowed to eat only 95% of that amount. In both cases, he used the heavy-water method to monitor cell division. The upshot was that the rate of division in the calorie-restricted mice was 37% lower than that in those mice that could eat as much as they wanted—which could have a significant effect on the accumulation of cancer-causing mutations. (45)__________[A] To stop this happening, cells have DNA-repair mechanisms. But if a cell divides before the damage is repaired, the chance of a successful repair is significantly reduced.[B] Bingeing and starving is how many animals tend to feed in the wild. The uncertain food supply means they regularly go through cycles of too much and too little food (it also means that they are often restricted to eating less than they could manage if food were omnipresent).[C] But calorie-reduction is not all the mice had to endure. They were, in addition, fed only on alternate days: bingeing one day and starving the next. So, whether modern man and woman, constantly surrounded by food and advertisements for food, would really be able to forgo eating every other day is debatable.[D] Why caloric restriction extends the lifespan of any animal is unclear, but much of the smart money backs the idea that it slows down cell division by denying cells the resources they need to grow and proliferate. One consequence of that slow-down would be to hamper the development of cancerous tumors.[E] So, by putting heavy water in the diets of their mice, the researchers were able to measure how much DNA in the tissues of those animals had been made since the start of the experiment (and by inference how much cell division had taken place), by the simple expedient of extracting the DNA and weighing it.[F] The second reason, according to Elaine Hsieh, one of Dr Hellerstein's colleagues, is that cutting just a few calories overall, but feeding intermittently, may be a more feasible eating pattern for some people to maintain than making small reductions each and every day.[G] At least, that is the theory. Until now, though, no one has tested whether reduced calorie intake actually does result in slower cell division. Dr Hellerstein and his team were able to do so using heavy water as a chemical "marker" of the process.

Much has been written about the tasks of leaders and the skills required for leadership. There has been considerable debate about the question of whether leaders are born or made. Likely behind these arguments is the difference between personal characteristics that some people have at birth and skills that one can acquire through education and practice. But the important personal characteristics, while they may seem innate in some people, can be cultivated, and indeed, require cultivation in all of us. For unless they are strengthened through conscious attention and cultivation, they can, for example, easily be forgotten or ignored in the craziness of activity often associated with leadership. What are some of these characteristics? One could make many lists, but here are five personal traits that seem especially important. A good leader:
1
An effective leader is "genuine", internally and externally consistent. A good leader is one of whom it can be said, "What you see is what you get" —there is never any wonder as to whether the image, the "person" presented to the world, really reflects the person. Such a leader has honesty—he/she says what he/she means, means what he/she says. A good leader has a consistency of purpose, operates out of discernible principles, and "stands for " something worthwhile and detectable. Honesty and reliability require self-reflection, the ability to understand oneself honestly, the capacity to assess one"s strengths and weaknesses accurately, and acceptance of one"s self.
2
A good leader takes responsibility seriously but never takes himself seriously. Such a leader can help people relax and get through tough situations in good spirits.
3
A good leader understands that nothing except a great work of art can be done by one person alone-that something of lasting value is almost always the result of a group effort. But even more than that, a good leader genuinely is concerned with and interested in others. Such concerning means that a good leader is collegial, building a sense of group identity and purpose. A good leader "brings out the best" in each of those who follow, seeks the development and advancement of each member of the group, and delights in each person"s growth in ability and of character. A good leader rejoices in the success of group members without announcement of jealousy. A good leader is deliberative, involving the group in decisions wherever possible and encourages, supports, and applauds the members of the group.
4
One of the primary roles of the leader is to inspire hope, even in a difficult situation. This is not the same as being blindly optimistic. We think, for example, of Franklin Roosevelt"s "We have nothing to fear but fear itself" or of Desmond Tutu"s observation about apartheid in South Africa that since " it is difficult to be optimistic, one must have hope. " Such a leader empowers followers, making them believe that they can accomplish worthwhile but very difficult things. He actually creates energy for the group by being active without becoming unrealistic.
5
A good leader understands that order is important to a group but that rigidity destroys the followers" emotion state. Lasting, empowering order comes more from trust and the development of group norms than from regulations imposed by a leader.
Doubtless, everyone would develop a somewhat different, and in many eases, a longer list of personal characteristics. But a leader who is conscious of such a list, who questions the extent to which he or she lives and acts in accord with these traits, and who deliberately cultivates these characteristics is likely to be a successful and appreciated leader.
