【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词用法。句意：——不好意思，我想用你的电脑打一份报告。——如果你爱护我的电脑，就可以使用它。A选项shall用于第二、三人称时，表示说话人给对方的命令、警告、允诺或威胁，此处表允诺，也就是如果可以好好对待电脑，说话者就允许使用电脑，符合句意，正确；B选项must表示义务，意为“必须”（主观意志），代入句中意为“如果你爱护我的电脑，你必须使用我的电脑”，此处应该是表允许，并非是强制使用电脑，错误；C选项need用作情态动词时，意思为“需要”，通常只用于否定句、疑问句以及if或whether之后，一般不用于肯定句中，并且该句话想表达的是如果满足条件允许使用电脑，并非是需要电脑，逻辑不通，排除；D选项should表义务，意为“应该，宜做某件事”，可用于各种人称，代入句中表示“如果你爱护我的电话，就应该使用它”，该句话是说话人在表达使用电脑的条件，满足条件说话人就允许使用电脑，不涉及是否应该，是否宜做，排除。所以正确答案为A。故选A。

only
if只有当……时候。根据“Do
you
think
we
can
get
there
on
time?”和“Yes”可知，只要汽车不抛锚就能按时到达，用as
long
as引导条件状语从句。故选C
7.

B.
when
C.
which
D.
where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：学生应该参加社团活动，在那里他们可以获得成长的经验。首先分析句子结构，可知这里含有一个限定性定语从句，且关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导。故选D。
【点睛】被修饰的词叫先行词。定语从句不同于单词作定语的情况，它需要放在被修饰的词（即先行词）之后。定语从句一般由关系代词来引导。关系代词必须放在定语从句之首。定语从句在句中做定语，修饰一个名词或代词，被修饰的名词,词组或代词即先行词。定语从句通常出现在先行词之后，由关系词（关系代词或关系副词）引出。

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
From
the
very
beginning
of
school
we
make
books
and
reading
a
constant
source
of
possible
failure
and
public
humiliation.
When
children
are
little
we
make
them
read
aloud
before
the
teacher
and
other
children,
so
that
we
can
be
sure
they
“know”
all
the
words
they
are
reading.
This
means
that
when
they
don’t
know
a
word,
they
are
going
to
make
a
mistake,
right
in
front
of
everyone.
After
having
taught
fifth-grade
classes
for
four
years,
I
decided
to
try
at
all
costs
to
rid
them
of
their
fear
and
dislike
of
books,
and
to
get
them
to
read
oftener
and
more
adventurously.
One
day
soon
after
school
had
started,
I
said
to
them,
“Now
I’m
going
to
say
something
about
reading
that
you
have
probably
never
heard
a
teacher
say
before.
I
would
like
you
to
read
a
lot
of
books
this
year,
but
I
want
you
to
read
them
only
for
pleasure.
I
am
not
going
to
ask
you
questions
to
find
out
whether
you
understand
the
books
or
not.
If
you
understand
enough
of
a
book
to
enjoy
it
and
want
to
go
on
reading
it,
that’s
enough
for
me.
Also
I’m
not
going
to
ask
you
what
words
mean.
“
The
children
sat
stunned
and
silent.
Was
this
a
teacher
talking?
One
girl,
who
had
just
come
to
us
from
a
school
where
she
had
had
a
very
hard
time,
looked
at
me
steadily
for
a
long
time
after
I
had
finished.
Then,
still
looking
at
me,
she
said
slowly
and
seriously,
Mr
Holt,
do
you
really
mean
that?”
I
said
just
as
seriously,
“I
mean
every
word
of
it.
During
the
spring
she
really
astonished
me.
One
day,
she
was
reading
at
her
desk,
From
a
glimpse
of
the
illustrations
I
thought
I
knew
what
the
book
was.
I
said
to
myself,
“It
can’t
be,”
and
went
to
take
a
closer
look.
Sure
enough,
she
was
reading
Moby
Dick
,
in
edition
with
woodcuts.
I
said,
“Don’t
you
find
parts
of
it
rather
heavy
going?”
She
answered,
Oh,
sure,
but
I
just
skip
over
those
parts
and
go
on
to
the
next
good
part.
“
This
is
exactly
what
reading
should
be
and
in
school
so
seldom
is,
an
exciting,
joyous
adventure.
Find
something,
dive
into
it,
take
the
good
parts,
skip
the
bad
parts,
get
what
you
can
out
of
it,
go
on
to
something
else.
How
different
is
our
mean-spirited,
picky
insistence
that
every
child
get
every
last
little
scrap
of
“understanding”
that
can
be
dug
out
of
a
book.

这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述作者如何培养学生们的阅读能力。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。
根据文章第一段When
children
are
little
we
make
them
read
aloud
before
the
teacher
and
other
children，so
that
we
can
be
sure

means
that
when
they
don't
know
a
word，they
are
going
to
make
a
mistake，right
in
front
of
everyone"，可知当孩子们还小的时候，我们让他们在老师和其他孩子面前大声朗读，这样我们就可以确保他们“知道”他们所读的所有单词。这意味着当他们一个字也不知道的时候，他们会在所有人面前犯错误。所以根据这篇短文，孩子们对书的恐惧和厌恶可能是由于他们在别人面前大声朗读的结果。故选D。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。
根据第二段作者的话Now
I’m
going
to
say
something
about
reading
that
you
have
probably
never
heard
a

say
before.
I
would
like

【43题详解】
细节理解题。
根据第二段The
children
sat
stunned
and
silent.
孩子们震惊和沉默地坐着。”第三段第四行“
do
you
really
mean
that?’”
霍尔特先生，你是当真的吗?。当老师说了这些话之后，孩子们都很震惊耶，很奇怪，所以他会确定问老师是不是真的这样？这表明学生是很不太相信的。故选C项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句话I
said,
“Don’t
you
find
parts
of
it
rather
heavy
going?”
She
answered,
Oh,
sure,
but
I
just
skip
over
those
parts
and
go
on
to
the
next
good
part.
可知，你觉得有些部分很难吗“她回答说，哦，当然，但我只是跳过这些部分，继续读下一个好的部分。她学会了欣赏那些难读的书的某些部分。故选C项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Find
something,
dive
into
it,
take
the
good
parts,
skip
the
bad
parts,
get
what
you
can
out
of
it,
go
on
to
something
else.
找到一些东西，埋头去读它们，抓住好的部分，跳过坏的部分，从中得到你能得到的，然后再去读其它的。所以判断出从老师的角度看，应该让孩子们决定读什么和怎样读。故选B选项。
C
Feel
the
Music
We’ve
all
heard
of
smart
phones,
but
how
about
smart
clothing?The
CuteCircuit
company
has
stepped
up
the
technology
beat
and
invented
the
SoundShirt,
which
was
designed
specifically
for
people
who
are
deaf
or
hard
of
hearing.How
does
this
incredible
shirt
work?
First,
let’s
talk
about
a
little
science.People
who
have
either
all
or
some
hearing
loss
don’t
actually
listen
to
music
the
way
that
hearing
people
do,
but
they
can
feel
it.Sound
is
made
up
of
vibrations,
called
sound
waves,
which
hearing
people
can
hear
through
their
ears
with
the
help
of
the
brain.What’s
really
cool
is
that
deaf
people
sense
vibrations
in
the
part
of
the
brain
that
others
use
for
hearing!
So
how
is
this
remarkable
technology
able
to
function?
First,
CuteCircuit
had
to
figure
out
a
way
to
send
signals
to
the
body,
kind
of
like
how
you
can
feel
when
your
phone
vibrates
in
silent
mode.Those
connections
the
body
can
feel
are
called
haptics,
a
use
of
technology
that
simulates
the
senses
of
touch
and
motion.The
SoundShirt
has
tiny
sensors
woven
into
the
shirt
to
pick
up
sound
and
transfer
signals
to
the
brain
and
body.
To
test
this
music-to-shirt-to-wearer’s
brain
connection,
CuteCircuit
set
microphones
around
the
stage
of
a
symphony
orchestra.The
shirt’s
computer
system
digitally
received
the
sounds
coming
from
the
instruments.Then
the
sensors,
working
like
little
motors,
changed
the
signals
into
vibrations
and
the
shirt
wearer’s
brain
did
the
rest.
The
SoundShirt
lets
people
who
are
deaf
or
hard
of
hearing
enjoy
music
in
a
unique
way.The
very
deep
musical
sound,
or
pitch,
of
instruments
like
drums
and
basses
vibrates
in
the
lower
part
of
the
shirt.Higher
pitched
sounds
from
instruments
like
the
flute
or
violin
vibrate
higher,
around
the
neck
and
arms.As
the
music
plays,
the
sensations
combine
while
the
brain
gets
to
work
putting
together
all
the
different
vibrations,
allowing
the
wearer
to
“hear”
the
concert.
You
might
think
this
innovation(创新)would
look
like
something
out
of
a
science
fiction
movie,
but
in
fact,
these
shirts
are
wireless!
And
the
decorative
laser-lined
design
on
the
shirt
looks
like
an
image
of
sound
waves.
Technology’s
purpose
is
to
help
people
and
make
life
better.Think
of
all
the
amazing
things
designers,
engineers,
and
producers
of
wearable
tech
will
be
able
to
do
for
humankind.
46.

D.
The
sounds
from
the
flute
vibrate
in

part
of
the
SoundShirt
48.

D
An
Epidemic
(流行病)
of
Depression?
Seligman
is
leading
the
charge
in
what
might
be
called
Happiness
Revolution
in
psychology.Since
World
War
II,
psychologists
have
focused
on
fixing
what
is
broken---repairing
psycholosis(精神病),
and
neurosis(神经衰弱).Research
has
piles
up
steadily
when
it
comes
to
looking
at
patients
who
are
neurotic,
while
the
happy
or
joyful
people
among
us
have
received
little
scientific
examination.
When
Seligman
did
a
search
to
find
academic
articles
about
such
“positive
psychology”
he
found
only
800
out
of
70,000.“Psychologists
tend
to
be
concerned
with
taking
a
negative
8
person,
and
helping
him
get
to
negative
2,”
said
Seligman,
a
University
of
Pennsylvania
psychology
professor.“My
aim
is
to
take
a
plus
2
person
and
boost
him
to
a
plus
6.”
In
the
last
50
years,
statistics
have
shown
that
we
are
less
happy
as
a
people.“While
our
quality
of
life
has
increased
dramatically
over
that
time,
and
we’ve
become
richer,
we’re
in
an
epidemic
of
depression,”
Seligman
said.“Depression
is
10
times
more
common
now,
and
life
satisfaction
rates
are
down
as
well.”
Seligman
argues
that
the
new
science
he
writes
about
is
shifting
psychology’s
model
away
from
its
narrow-minded
focus
on
pathology(病理学),
victimology,
and
mental
illness
towards
positive
emotion,
virtue
and
strength,
and
positive
institutions
that
increase
people’s
happiness.If
you
want
to
be
happy,
forget
about
winning
the
lottery,
getting
a
nose
job,
or
securing
a
raise.In
his
new
book,
Authentic
Happiness,
psychologist
Martin
Seligman
argues
that
overall
lifetime
happiness
is
not
the
result
of
good
genes,
money,
or
even
luck.Instead,
he
says
we
can
boost
our
own
happiness
by
making
use
of
the
strengths
and
traits
that
we
already
have,
including
kindness,
originality,
humor,
optimism,
and
generosity.He
has
named
the
discipline
“Positive
Psychology,”
arguing
that
we
would
be
better
off
building
on
our
own
strengths
rather
than
bemoaning,
and
hence,
trying
to
repair,
our
weakness.By
frequently
calling
upon
their
strengths,
people
can
build
up
natural
barriers
against
misfortune
and
negative
emotions,
he
said.
To
cultivate
happiness,
we
must
first
find
out
our
individual
strengths
and
virtues.Next,
apply
the
qualities
in
such
a
way
as
to
enhance
our
happiness-generating
system.
50
Why
could
Seligman’s
work
be
called
Happiness
Revolution?
A.
Because
happy
or
joyful
people
among
us
also
suffer
from
illness.
B.
Because
psychology
is
the
emotional
characteristic
of
an
individual.
C.
Because
psychology
is
the
science
that
deals
with
mental
processes
and
behavior.
D.
Because
traditional
research
on
psychology
rarely
concerns
happy
or
joyful
people.
51.
What
does
Seligman
mean
by
saying
“take
a
plus
2
person
and
boost
him
to
a
plus
6”?
A.
We
should
focus
on
happy
or
joyful
people.
B.
The
number
of
happy
or
joyful
people
will
increase
by
4.

need
to
be

improve

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。我们能创造幸福吗？在过去的50年，人们的幸福感越来越低了。心理学教授Martin
Seligman在他的新书阐述了我们应该依靠自己的优势来获得幸福的观点。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Research
has
piles
up
steadily
when
it
comes
to
looking
at
patients
who
are
neurotic,
while
the
happy
or
joyful
people
among
us
have
received
little
scientific
examination.
(有关神经症或精神失常患者的研究资料堆积如山，而幸福或快乐的人群几乎无人关注。)”可知，Seligma的研究被称为幸福革命是因为传统的心理学研究很少涉及幸福或快乐的人。故选D。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Psychologists
tend
to
be
concerned
with
taking
a
negative
8
person,
and
helping
him
get
to
negative
2,
(心理学家热衷于把-8的人提高到-2，)”和第三段“In
the
last
50
years,
statistics
have
shown
that
we
are
less
happy
as
a
people.(半个世纪以来，统计数字表明我们的国民不如以往快乐。)”可知，Seligma说：“而我的目标是把+2的人提升到+6。”，这说明快乐的人需要变得更快乐，即Seligma认为快乐的人也需要改善他们的心态。故选D。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Seligman
argues
that
the
new
science
he
writes
about

shifting
psychology’s

away
from
its
narrow-minded
focus
on

victimology,
and
mental
illness
towards
positive
emotion,
virtue
and
strength,
and
positive
institutions
that
increase
people’s
happiness.
(Seligman认为他著书阐述的新科学正在改变心理学的模式，使其从仅狭窄地注重病理学、受害心理学和精神症学的模式转变到关注能创造更多幸福的积极情感、品质、力量和积极机制。)”可知，传统的心理学观点是狭隘的。故选D。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Instead,
he
says
we
can
boost
our
own
happiness
by
making
use
of
the
strengths
and

(相反，幸福靠的是自身的力量和特点，包括心地善良、富于创造、幽默风趣、性情乐观和大度宽容。他认为与其哀怨叹息不如扬长避短，并称此为"积极心理学"，认为我们最好是建立在自己的优势之上，而不是哀叹自己的弱点，从而试图弥补自己的弱点。)”可知，Martin
Seligman认为，真正的幸福源于积极的心理状态。故选B。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“To
cultivate
happiness,
we
must
first
find
out
our
individual
strengths
and
virtues.
(要创造幸福，我们必须首先发现我们个人的优势和美德。)”可知，Martin
Seligman认为，我们依靠自己的优势来获得幸福。故选B。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要介绍在过去的50年，人们的幸福感越来越低了。心理学教授Martin
Seligman在他的新书阐述了我们应该依靠自己的优势来获得幸福的观点。所以用“how
we
can
cultivate
our
happiness.(如何创造我们的幸福。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。
四、阅读表达：10分
Looking
back
over
a
twenty-year
music
career,
I
often
feel
a
sense
of
wonder---not
at
what
I
have
accomplished,
but
how
I
have
chosen
such
a
path.It
would
have
been
easy
for
me
to
stay
on
the
family
farm.However,
rewarding
as
this
existence
was,
it
was
somehow
unfulfilling;
my
youthful
imagination,
much
to
my
parents’
disappointment,
often
cast
about
for
other,
greater
pursuits
to
occupy
it.Still,
growing
up
as
I
did
in
a
household
where
the
radio
reported
milk
prices
instead
of
Mozart,
the
thought
of
choosing
a
career
in
classical
music
went
beyond
even
my
wildest
imagination.
Perhaps
what
started
me
down
this
unforeseen
path
was
my
fascination
with
other
languages.I
was
learning
Spanish
at
school;
I
was
instantly
drawn
to
German,
Italian,
and
Yiddish
words.As
my
interest
in
other
language
grew,
so
did
my
awareness
that
music
is
itself
a
language,
just
as
capable
of
expressing
and
inspiring
emotion
or
thought
as
the
spoken
word---sometimes
even
more
so.When
I
listened
to
the
piece
of
music
The
tempest,
I
gradually
felt
the
overwhelming
sense
of
a
thunderstorm.I’ve
read
many
accounts
of
severe
weather,
even
seen
them
on
TV,
but
few
of
them
have
been
able
to
replicate(复制)
not
only
the
sensory
experience
of
a
thunderstorm,
but
also
the
emotional
one
the
way
this
piece
of
music
can.
I
believe
it
was
music’s
emotive
influence
that
ultimately
led
me
to
pursue
a
career
in
music.Eventually,
of
course,
music
began
to
eclipse(使失色)
the
numerous
other
“passions”
I
had.
So
what
made
my
passion
for
music
continue
to
burn?
For
me,
like
many
who
find
themselves
adrift
on
a
sea
of
uncertainty,
it
took
a
mentor
(导师)
to
help
me
find
my
way
to
dry
land.In
my
case,
that
mentor
was
the
conductor
of
my
high-school
orchestra,
Ms.Fenchurch.It
was
she
who
first
taught
me
the
joy
of
composition
and
creation,
and
helped
me
to
realize
that
making
music
is
more
than
just
playing
notes
in
a
particular
order,
no
matter
how
well
it’s
done---it’s
about
expression
and
perhaps
more
important,
communication.Just
like
a
language.
56.
What
does
the
underline
sentence
in
Paragraph
1
probably
mean?
(No
more
than
15
words)
57.
According
to
the
author,
what
may
lead
him
to
the
path
of
music?(No
more
than
6
words)
58.
Why
does
the
author
mention
The
tempest?
59.
What’s
the

about?(No

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者回顾自己为什么走上音乐之路。
【56题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段画线句后句“the
thought
of
choosing
a
career
in
classical
music
went
beyond
even
my
wildest
imagination.(所以选择古典音乐作为职业的想法甚至超出了我最狂野的想象。)”可猜测画线句的意思是作者出生在一个农民家庭而不是一个音乐家的家庭，或者作者的家庭环境与音乐无关，或者作者住在农场，没有机会接触音乐。故答案为I
was
born
in
a
farmer’s
family
rather
than
a
musician’s.
or
My
family
environment
has
nothing
to
do

about
German
Tutor
Do
you
call
yourselves
language
novices
or
beginners?
Whatever
you
like
to
call
yourselves,
we
can
enable
you
to
speak
a
new
language.
In
order
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is,
we
commissioned
researchers
from
two
universities
in
America
to
conduct
a
study
that
tested
the
effectiveness
of
our
German
Tutor
app
for
German
beginners
in
just
two
months.
Then
we
challenged
15
employees
to
learn
as
much
German
as
possible
by
using
the
app
in
just
three
weeks.
Here

阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
From
the
very
beginning
of
school
we
make
books
and
reading
a
constant
source
of
possible
failure
and
public
humiliation.
When
children
are
little
we
make
them
read
aloud,
before
the
teacher
and
other
children,
so
that
we
can
be
sure
they
“know”
all
the
words
they
are
reading.
This
means
that
when
they
don’t
know
a
word,
they
are
going
to
make
a
mistake,
right
in
front
of
everyone.
After
having
taught
fifth-grade
classes
for
four
years,
I
decided
to
try
at
all
costs
to
rid
them
of
their
fear
and
dislike
of
books,
and
to
get
them
to
read
oftener
and
more
adventurously.
One
day
soon
after
school
had
started,
I
said
to
them,
“Now
I’m
going
to
say
something
about
reading
that
you
have
probably
never
heard
a
teacher
say
before.
I
would
like
you
to
read
a
lot
of
books
this
year,
but
I
want
you
to
read
them
only
for
pleasure.
I
am
not
going
to
ask
you
questions
to
find
out
whether
you
understand
the
books
or
not.
If
you
understand
enough
of
a
book
to
enjoy
it
and
want
to
go
on
reading
it,
that’s
enough
for
me.
Also
I’m
not
going
to
ask
you
what
words
mean.
“
The
children
sat
stunned
and
silent.
Was
this
a
teacher
talking?
One
girl,
who
had
just
come
to
us
from
a
school
where
she
had
had
a
very
hard
time,
looked
at
me
steadily
for
a
long
time
after
I
had
finished.
Then,
still
looking
at
me,
she
said
slowly
and
seriously,
Mr
Holt,
do
you
really
mean
that?”
I
said
just
as
seriously,
“I
mean
every
word
of
it.
During
the
spring
she
really
astonished
me.
One
day,
she
was
reading
at
her
desk,
From
a
glimpse
of
the
illustrations
I
thought
I
knew
what
the
book
was.
I
said
to
myself,
“It
can’t
be,”
and
went
to
take
a
closer
look.
Sure
enough,
she
was
reading
Moby
Dick
,
in
edition
with
woodcuts.
I
said,
“Don’t
you
find
parts
of
it
rather
heavy
going?”
She
answered,
Oh,
sure,
but
I
just
skip
over
those
parts
and
go
on
to
the
next
good
part.
“
This
is
exactly
what
reading
should
be
and
in
school
so
seldom
is,
an
exciting,
joyous
adventure.
Find
something,
dive
into
it,
take
the
good
parts,
skip
the
bad
parts,
get
what
you
can
out
of
it,
go
on
to
something
else.
How
different
is
our
mean-spirited,
picky
insistence
that
every
child
get
every
last
little
scrap
of
“understanding”
that
can
be
dug
out
of
a
book.

Feel
the
Music
We’ve
all
heard
of
smart
phones,
but
how
about
smart
clothing?The
CuteCircuit
company
has
stepped
up
the
technology
beat
and
invented
the
SoundShirt,
which
was
designed
specifically
for
people
who
are
deaf
or
hard
of
hearing.How
does
this
incredible
shirt
work?
First,
let’s
talk
about
a
little
science.People
who
have
either
all
or
some
hearing
loss
don’t
actually
listen
to
music
the
way
that
hearing
people
do,
but
they
can
feel
it.Sound
is
made
up
of
vibrations,
called
sound
waves,
which
hearing
people
can
hear
through
their
ears
with
the
help
of
the
brain.What’s
really
cool
is
that
deaf
people
sense
vibrations
in
the
part
of
the
brain
that
others
use
for
hearing!
So
how
is
this
remarkable
technology
able
to
function?
First,
CuteCircuit
had
to
figure
out
a
way
to
send
signals
to
the
body,
kind
of
like
how
you
can
feel
when
your
phone
vibrates
in
silent
mode.Those
connections
the
body
can
feel
are
called
haptics,
a
use
of
technology
that
simulates
the
senses
of
touch
and
motion.The
SoundShirt
has
tiny
sensors
woven
into
the
shirt
to
pick
up
sound
and
transfer
signals
to
the
brain
and
body.
To
test
this
music-to-shirt-to-wearer’s
brain
connection,
CuteCircuit
set
microphones
around
the
stage
of
a
symphony
orchestra.The
shirt’s
computer
system
digitally
received
the
sounds
coming
from
the
instruments.Then
the
sensors,
working
like
little
motors,
changed
the
signals
into
vibrations
and
the
shirt
wearer’s
brain
did
the
rest.
The
SoundShirt
lets
people
who
are
deaf
or
hard
of
hearing
enjoy
music
in
a
unique
way.The
very
deep
musical
sound,
or
pitch,
of
instruments
like
drums
and
basses
vibrates
in
the
lower
part
of
the
shirt.Higher
pitched
sounds
from
instruments
like
the
flute
or
violin
vibrate
higher,
around
the
neck
and
arms.As
the
music
plays,
the
sensations
combine
while
the
brain
gets
to
work
putting
together
all
the
different
vibrations,
allowing
the
wearer
to
“hear”
the
concert.
You
might
think
this
innovation(创新)would
look
like
something
out
of
a
science
fiction
movie,
but
in
fact,
these
shirts
are
wireless!
And
the
decorative
laser-lined
design
on
the
shirt
looks
like
an
image
of
sound
waves.
Technology’s
purpose
is
to
help
people
and
make
life
better.Think
of
all
the
amazing
things
designers
engineers,
and
producers
of
wearable
tech
will
be
able
to
do
for
humankind.

Epidemic

of
Depression?
Seligman
is
leading
the
charge
in
what
might
be
called
Happiness
Revolution
in
psychology.Since
World
War
II,
psychologists
have
focused
on
fixing
what
is
broken---repairing
psycholosis(精神病),
and
neurosis(神经衰弱).Research
has
piles
up
steadily
when
it
comes
to
looking
at
patients
who
are
neurotic,
while
the
happy
or
joyful
people
among
us
have
received
little
scientific
examination.
When
Seligman
did
a
search
to
find
academic
articles
about
such
“positive
psychology”
he
found
only
800
out
of
70,000.“Psychologists
tend
to
be
concerned
with
taking
a
negative
8
person,
and
helping
him
get
to
negative
2,”
said
Seligman,
a
University
of
Pennsylvania
psychology
professor.“My
aim
is
to
take
a
plus
2
person
and
boost
him
to
a
plus
6.”
In
the
last
50
years
statistics
have
shown
that
we
are
less
happy
as
a
people.“While
our
quality
of
life
has
increased
dramatically
over
that
time,
and
we’ve
become
richer,
we’re
in
an
epidemic
of
depression,”
Seligman
said.“Depression
is
10
times
more
common
now,
and
life
satisfaction
rates
are
down
as
well.”
Seligman
argues
that
the
new
science
he
writes
about
is
shifting
psychology’s
model
away
from
its
narrow-minded
focus
on
pathology(病理学),
victimology,
and
mental
illness
towards
positive
emotion,
virtue
and
strength,
and
positive
institutions
that
increase
people’s
happiness.If
you
want
to
be
happy,
forget
about
winning
the
lottery,
getting
a
nose
job,
or
securing
a
raise.In
his
new
book,
Authentic
Happiness,
psychologist
Martin
Seligman
argues
that
overall
lifetime
happiness
is
not
the
result
of
good
genes,
money,
or
even
luck.Instead,
he
says
we
can
boost
our
own
happiness
by
making
use
of
the
strengths
and
traits
that
we
already
have,
including
kindness,
originality,
humor,
optimism,
and
generosity.He
has
named
the
discipline
“Positive
Psychology,”
arguing
that
we
would
be
better
off
building
on
our
own
strengths
rather
than
bemoaning,
and
hence,
trying
to
repair,
our
weakness.By
frequently
calling
upon
their
strengths,
people
can
build
up
natural
barriers
against
misfortune
and
negative
emotions,
he
said.
To
cultivate
happiness,
we
must
first
find
out
our
individual
strengths
and
virtues.Next,
apply
the
qualities
in
such
a
way
as
to
enhance
our
happiness-generating
system.
50.
Why
could
Seligman’s
work
be
called
Happiness
Revolution?
A.
Because
happy
or
joyful
people
among
us
also
suffer
from
illness.
B.
Because
psychology
is
the
emotional
characteristic
of
an
individual.
C.
Because
psychology
is
the
science
that
deals
with
mental
processes
and
behavior.
D.
Because
traditional
research
on
psychology
rarely
concerns
happy
or
joyful
people.

person

Looking
back
over
a
twenty-year
music
career,
I
often
feel
a
sense
of
wonder---not
at
what
I
have
accomplished,
but
how
I
have
chosen
such
a
path.It
would
have
been
easy
for
me
to
stay
on
the
family
farm.However,
rewarding
as
this
existence
was,
it
was
somehow
unfulfilling;
my
youthful
imagination,
much
to
my
parents’
disappointment,
often
cast
about
for
other,
greater
pursuits
to
occupy
it.Still,
growing
up
as
I
did
in
a
household
where
the
radio
reported
milk
prices
instead
of
Mozart,
the
thought
of
choosing
a
career
in
classical
music
went
beyond
even
my
wildest
imagination.
Perhaps
what
started
me
down
this
unforeseen
path
was
my
fascination
with
other
languages.I
was
learning
Spanish
at
school;
I
was
instantly
drawn
to
German,
Italian,
and
Yiddish
words.As
my
interest
in
other
language
grew,
so
did
my
awareness
that
music
is
itself
a
language,
just
as
capable
of
expressing
and
inspiring
emotion
or
thought
as
the
spoken
word---sometimes
even
more
so.When
I
listened
to
the
piece
of
music
The
tempest,
I
gradually
felt
the
overwhelming
sense
of
a
thunderstorm.I’ve
read
many
accounts
of
severe
weather,
even
seen
them
on
TV,
but
few
of
them
have
been
able
to
replicate(复制)
not
only
the
sensory
experience
of
a
thunderstorm,
but
also
the
emotional
one
the
way
this
piece
of
music
can.
I
believe
it
was
music’s
emotive
influence
that
ultimately
led
me
to
pursue
a
career
in
music.Eventually,
of
course,
music
began
to
eclipse(使失色)
the
numerous
other
“passions”
I
had.
So
what
made
my
passion
for
music
continue
to
burn?
For
me,
like
many
who
find
themselves
adrift
on
a
sea
of
uncertainty,
it
took
a
mentor
(导师)
to
help
me
find
my
way
to
dry
land.In
my
case,
that
mentor
was
the
conductor
of
my
high-school
orchestra,
Ms.Fenchurch.It
was
she
who
first
taught
me
the
joy
of
composition
and
creation,
and
helped
me
to
realize
that
making
music
is
more
than
just
playing
notes
in
a
particular
order,
no
matter
how
well
it’s
done---it’s
about
expression
and
perhaps
more
important,
communication.Just
like
a
language.
