Feeling sad or upset Don’t turn to a cheerful comedy. A sad movie may be just what you need.
A team of scientists at Ohio State University, US, has found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research. Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement (《赎罪》). The movie tells the story of two lovers who are separated and at the end die during World War II. Before and after the movie, the students answered questions testing how happy they were with their lives. They also answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to measure different emotions, including sadness.
Results showed that overall, people felt better after watching the movie. Scientists believe this is because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Their lives, compared to those of the unlucky lovers on the screen, were full of hope. “I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that negative moods make people more thoughtful. “Positive emotions are generally a signal that everything is fine, you don’t have to worry, you don’t have to think about issues in your life,” she said, “but negative emotions, like sadness, make you think more critically about your situation. So seeing a sad movie may make you sad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and appreciate them more.”
6．When you feel upset, which kind of movie is your best choice
A．A comedy. B．An exciting movie. C．A science fiction. D．A sad movie.
7．When did people feel best, according to the study
A．Before watching the movie. B．While watching the movie.
C．After watching the movie. D．While answering the questions.
8．Which of the following about the study is NOT true
A．361 college students took part in the study.
B．Students answered questions three times in all.
C．The students watched a sad movie during the study.
D．Scientists at Ohio State University did the study.
9．Why can sad movies make sad people feel happier
A．Because they find that their lives are more hopeful than the movies.
B．Because they find that everything in their lives is fine.
C．Because sad movies can make them forget bad things.
D．Because sad movies can make all the negative emotions go away.
10．What can we learn from Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick’s words
A．Negative emotions make people think more.
B．Negative emotions are better than positive emotions.
C．Positive emotions make people’s relationships closer.
D．Positive emotions make people forget all their sadness.
