Like many other students beginning graduate school, I was quickly charged with responsibilities and had to find time for studying by letting goof many other things I valued. Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive.
Towards the end of the MSC (Master of Science program) started to lose my motivation and curiosity for science and research, as well as my creativity. Spending so much time and energy in the laboratory, and focusing all my attention on my thesis and courses, made me feel down and almost totally uninterested in my field - not to mention short-tempered and oversensitive in my personal communications.
Over time, I learnt from these experiences. When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. My mentor (导师) and I discussed my work-life balance early in my program, and we arrange our lab responsibilities accordingly.
I set boundaries for myself in new ways: ‘rather than doing lab work all weekend, I’d play football or the violin, or visit loved ones, before allowing myself to work fora few hours.
This was hard at first: I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers, and superiors, but I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details.
Since establishing a better work-life balance, I’ve been doing well in graduate school. Outside the lab, I’ve been able to take up a few leadership positions at my university because I’m not as stressed with my work. I serve as our department’s student councilor and I am also vice-president academic in the Health Sciences Graduate Students’ Association. My advice is this: a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs.
46. What is the author’s problem?
A. He must study hard to graduate.
B. He must give up his hobby for study,
C. He didn’t know how to study more effectively.
D. He didn’t know how to deal with pressure.
47. Paragraph 2 shows ________.
A. the challenges of an MSC program
B. the consequences of giving up hobbies
C. the benefits of focusing on schoolwork
D. the importance of balancing study and hobbies
48. To balance academic and personal life, the author ________.
A. asks his peers for help
B. seeks to reduce his lab duties

D. avoids schoolwork at weekends at all
49. When the author gets his hands too full, he ________.
A. tends to put things on hold
B. tends to lose the attention to details
C. will lose his patience with his academic work
D. will make a new schedule accordingly
50 What can be inferred from the author’s personal experience?
A. It’s never too late to make a change in the university.

【46题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Letting go of football and the violin was, however, self-defeating: it might have brought me more time in the short term, but spending that extra time on work only’ made me more stressed and less productive.”放弃足球和小提琴却会弄巧成拙:它可能会在短期内给我带来更多时间，但把多余的时间花在工作上只会“让我压力更大，效率更低”。可知，作者遇到的问题是，他必须放弃自己的爱好来抓紧时间学习。故选B项。
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，在MSC快结束的时候，作者开始失去了对科学和研究的动力和好奇心，也失去了创造力。在实验室里花了那么多时间和精力，把所有的注意力都集中在论文和课程上，这让作者情绪低落，对自己的领域几乎完全不感兴趣——更别提在个人交流中脾气暴躁、过于敏感了。可知，本段表明了作者放弃自己爱好的结果。故选B项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. ” 当我开始我的博士学位，我专注于平衡学术成就和个人时生活，并使个人幸福优先(首要事情)在我每周的日程安排。可知，作者为了平衡学术成就和个人生活更多的把自己的爱好放在第一位。故选C项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain (使疲劳) you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details.” 我从经验中学到一个过载的时间表可以使你如此疲劳以至于使你变得无失去注意力，开始犯错误或忘记重要的细节。可以推断，当作者手头工作太多时，他会容易忽视细节。故选B项。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。文章通过讲述自己的经历，放弃爱好专注学习使作者压力更大、效率更低，之后通过自己的经历认识到了要注意工作和生活的平衡；尤其是文章最后一段“a healthy work-life balance isn’t a luxury; it’s a key part of success in graduate programs.” 健康的工作与生活平衡不是一种奢侈，这是研究生课程成功的关键部分。可以推断，根据作者的经验，我们可以知道工作与生活的平衡在大学是必要的。故选D项。
【点睛】细节理解题主要考查考生对某句话或某几句话的理解，同学们若能根据题干内容从原文中找到相关的句子，然后进行比较和分析，便可确定最佳答案。多数情况下，作者不会明确的呈现一个事实，读者需要根据已有的信息进行处理，读出言外之意。还要特别注意文章的时间顺序、故事发生的地点、情节的发展和人物之间的关系。例如，第3题文章中，由文章第三段“When I started my PhD, I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off, and made personal happiness a priority (首要事情) in my weekly schedule. ” 当我开始我的博士学位，我专注于平衡学术成就和个人时生活，并使个人幸福优先(首要事情)在我每周的日程安排。可知，作者为了平衡学术成就和个人生活更多的把自己的爱好放在第一位。故选C项。

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.
51. 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.
52. 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.
C. “Positive psychology” articles need to be published more.
D. Happy people among us also need improve their mentality.
53. According to the passage, traditional opinion of psychology is __________.
A encouraging B. optimistic C. subjective D. narrow-minded
54. Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results from___________.
A. good genes, money or luck
B. positive mental status
C. contented life.
D. a good job.
55. According to the passage, which of the statements might Martin Seligman support?
A. promotion leads to true happiness.
B. We rely on our strengths for happiness.
C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.
D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.
56. The main topic of the passage is ____________.

【51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。
【52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。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“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. (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。
【54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 traits that we already have, including kindness, originality, humor, optimism, and generosity.

(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。
【55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。
【56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。
