If you feel sad, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be good for you. Some scientists at
Ohio State University found that sad movies can make people happier. They showed their study in a magazinecalled Communication Reaches.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were
separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions
from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feeling, such as
sadness.
According to the result, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists
believed this was because the movie made them think about their lives. Compared to those of unlucky lovers,
their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the head of the study, said that bad moods (情绪) would make people more
thoughtful. “Good moods are usually a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to
think about your problems in your life,” she said. “But bad moods make you feel terrible. So, seeing a sad movie
may make you feel bad, but that will make you think more about yourself and be full of hope in the future.”
46.Why did the scientist ask the college students to watch a sad movie?
A.To help them make more friends.
B.To make them feel better about themselves.
C.To find out how they felt after watching it.

C.See a happy film when we feel bad. D.Think about others when we are down.
50.How did the college students’ feeling change?
A.happy-scared-sad B.sad-excited-happy
C.terrible-lucky-hopeful D.terrible-serious-sad

What should you take when you take an exam? Pen, an eraser, a ruler… don’t forget a bottle of water!
Scientist at the University of East London and the University of Westminster did a study on 447 students.
Only 111 of them took something to drink. Scientist then compared (比较) their exam results with their normalschoolwork grades. They found those who had brought drinks with them all got better grades by between 2 and 10
percent.
“We don’t know why drinking water can be helpful. But scientists said having enough water in our bodies
may also cut down on nervousness (紧张不安). This kind of feeling would be bad for exam performances,” said
Chris Pawson, PHD of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation (解释) is, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的) during
exams,” he added.
