Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Can science help Most of us know little about

22、 the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists（心理学家） are finding may help us all make better choices. Here are some of their amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind. Consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, bu

23、t in fact theyre a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brains emotional center is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasio, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about

24、 what to wear or eat. Damasio thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choices, which we use to help the present decision making. However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take anger, for example. A study by Nitika Garg of

25、the University of Mississippi and other scientists found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than considering other choices. It seems anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking. All emotions affect our thinking and motivation（动机

26、） , so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely theres one emotion that seems to help us make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact

D Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation. 答案： 【小题 1】 D 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 A You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looki

31、ng forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood Impossible

32、! Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time. Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to o

33、ffer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others pity or respect. When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger（匕首） of a negative person is put in you, you feel the he

34、avy feeling that all in all, brings you down. Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but a

35、ll this is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about that. Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.
