高一英語上冊(cè)Unit2基礎(chǔ)鞏固試題講解
so who is right? is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
there are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. it may be a selfprotection strategy，as other primates (靈長(zhǎng)類) also show signs of sadness. a losing monkey that doesn’t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey—and that could result in death.
in humans，sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. by acting sad，we tell other community members that we need support.
then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. there are plenty of great artists，writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. scientists find that people with signs of depression perform better at a creative task，and that negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience，which allows creative processes to come to the front. there is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. a doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. the happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
