Ever won the lottery?No?But did that stop you buying another lottery ticket?If the answer is another“no”,you might call yourself an optimist.
According to researchers at University College London,human beings are
sanguine
creatures.It is all in the brain,they say.A study suggests that human brain is very efficient at processing good news:about 80%of people have a tendency to see the glasses half-full,not half-empty,even if they don’t consider themselves to be optimists.
The good news is that this brings a health benefit.Having a positive outlook on life reduces anxiety.A study of nearly 100,000 women showed a lower risk of death from heart disease among optimists.
But there are problems in always having all optimistic attitude.The authors of the study point out that the 2008 financial crisis may have been caused by analysts over estimating their assets’performance even in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.
There are personal health risks too.Dr.Tali Sharot,lead researcher,said:“Smoking
Kills,messages don’t work since people think their chances of cancer are low.There’s a very
fundamental tendency in the brain.”
But,as they say,every cloud has a silver lining.Even if seeing the world through rose-colored glasses poses a risk to our health,it’s not something that is likely to cause us to lose sleep.Let’s just keep our chins up and keep smiling !
The study mentioned in Paragraph 2 indicates that people_______________
选项
A、are more optimistic than they believe
B、are less optimistic than they believe
C、like good news more than they think
D、like good news less than they think
答案
A
解析
推理题。第二段中的study描述的是人们愿意描述“杯子满了一半”,而不是说 “一半是空的”,这个例子是为了证明前面的论点:人们是一种高兴、愉悦的动物。因此本题选A(人们比他们想象的要乐观)。C选项为混淆项,乐观并不意味着只喜欢“好消息”,而是强调对事物的一种态度。
