An Epidemic（流行病）f Depressin? Seligman is leading the charge in what might be called Happiness Revlutin in psychlgy. Since Wrld War II, psychlgists have fcused n fixing what is brken—repairing psychsis（精神病）, and neursis（神经衰弱）. Research has piles up steadily when it cmes t lking at patients wh are neurtic, while the happy r jyful peple amng us have received little scientific examinatin.
When Seligman did a search t find academic articles abut such "psitive psychlgy" he fund nly 800 ut f 70,000. "Psychlgists tend t be cncerned with taking a negative 8 persn, and helping him get t negative 2," said Seligman, a University f Pennsylvania psychlgy prfessr. "My aim is t take a plus 2 persn and bst him t a plus 6."
In the last 50 years, statistics have shwn that we are less happy as a peple. "While ur quality f life has increased dramatically ver that time, and we've becme richer, we' re in an epidemic f depressin," Seligman said. "Depressin is 10 times mre cmmn nw, and life satisfactin rates are dwn as well. "Seligman argues that the new science he writes abut is shifting psychlgy's mdel away frm its narrw-minded fcus n pathlgy, victimlgy, and mental illness twards psitive emtin, virtue and strength, and psitive institutins that increase peple's happiness. If yu want t be happy, frget abut winning the lttery, getting a nse jb, r securing a raise. In his new bk. Authentic Happiness, psychlgist Martin Seligman argues that verall lifetime happiness is nt the result f gd genes, mney, r even luck. Instead, he says we can bst ur wn happiness by making use f the strengths and traits that we already have, including kindness, riginality, humr, ptimism, and genersity. He has named the discipline "Psitive Psychlgy," arguing that we wuld be better ff building n ur wn strengths rather than bemaning, and hence, trying t repair, ur weakness. By frequently calling upn their strengths, peple can build up natural barriers against misfrtune and negative emtins, he said.
T cultivate happiness, we must first find ut ur individual strengths and virtues. Next, apply the qualities in such a way as t enhance ur happiness-generating system.
51. Why culd Seligman's wrk be called Happiness Revlutin?
A. Because happy r jyful peple amng us als suffer frm illness.
B. Because psychlgy is the emtinal characteristic f an individual.
C. Because psychlgy is the science that deals with mental prcesses and behavir.
D. Because traditinal research n psychlgy rarely cncerns happy r jyful peple.
52. What des Seligman mean by saying "take a plus 2 persn and bst him t a plus 6"?
A. We shuld fcus n happy r jyful peple.
B. The number f happy r jyful peple will increase by 4.
C. "Psitive psychlgy" articles need t be published mre.
D. Happy peple amng us als need imprve their mentality.
53. Accrding t the passage, traditinal pinin f psychlgy is___________.
A. narrw-minded B. ptimistic C. subjective D. encuraging
54. Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results frm___________.
A. gd genes, mney r luck B. psitive mental status
C. cntented life. D. a gd jb
55. The main tpic f the passage is___________.
A. hw we can cultivate ur happiness

These days, it's nt unusual t see middle- aged men cllecting Star Wars actin figures, fficed wrkers wearing Hell Kitty accessries, r celebrities like David Beckham playing with Leg bricks It`s becming mre and mre cmmn t see adults taking an interest in tys, cmic bks and the activities that are traditinally assciated with children. This phenmenn has given rise t a new wrd: kidult.
What lies behind the phenmenn? One is abut adults' nstalgia（怀旧之情）fr the carefree days f childhd, and this is especially true with tday's fast—paced, stressful lifestyles. Anther is abut a scietal change in recent decades where peple are starting families later. As a result, they have mre time and mney t spend n themselves. Sme adults culd nly windw-shp fr their dream tys when they were kids, but nw they can affrd that radi cntrlled car r high-priced dll they have always wanted.
Businesses have been quick t explit the kidult trend, and the number f ty stres that target adults bas risen. Cmpanies are repackaging prducts frm past decades and als bringing ut new nes fr adults. Leg, fr example, has brught ut an architectural series featuring landmarks frm arund the wrld.
Sciety traditinally disapprves f adults wh refuse t put aside childhd interests, viewing the refusal as a sign f scial immaturity and irrespnsibility. Thse wh agree with this view smetimes claim that kidults are suffering frm the pp-psychlgy cncept knwn as Peter Pan Syndrme, an anmaly（异常）that peple remain emtinally at the level f teenagers. On a grander scale, these kidult ppnents（对手）argue that such delayed adulthd causes cuples t marry later and have fewer children. This in turn can lead t shrinking natinal ecnmies, fr there needs t be a generatinal replenishment（补充）f the wrkfrce.
Frm the standpint f kidults, thugh, this phenmenn is seen as nthing but harmless fun. Kidults insist that having yuthful interests keeps them yung, happy and creative, and their refusal t cnfrm t sciety's acceptable tastes shws independent thinking. Besides, they argue that being part f the scial trend f delayed adulthd is nt purely a persnal chice. The real causes include expensive husing. increased educatinal requirements fr emplyment and pr wrk pprtunities.
Whether the kidult phenmenn will cntinue t grw r prve t be a passing trend is anyne's guess. As the debate abut it cntinues, remember that there is nthing wrng with being yung at heart.
56. What des the kidult phenmenn refer t?
A. Adults act like children. B. Adults have child-like tastes.
C. Adults g in fr cllecting tys. D. Adults like playing with children.
57. Which f the fllwing might cause the emergence f kidults?
A. Different living cnditins. B. Mre chices abut tys.
C. High pressure f mdem life. D. Gd memries f childhd.
58. What des the underlined wrd "explit" prbably mean?
A. Get used t. B. Lk frward t.
C. Take advantage f. D. Make way fr.
59. Hw des the text deal with the debate abut kidults?
A. By strngly ppsing kidult ppnents. B. By cnvincing readers t accept kidults.
C. By refusing t take a stand n the issue. D. By presenting bth sides f the argument.
