If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University, the USA, have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.
According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”
28. According to the scientists at Ohio State University, sad movies can make people ________.
A. happier B. sadder C. more terrible
29. How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists during the movie?
A. Five times. B. Four times. C. Three times.
30. What does the underlined word “those” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. feelings. B. lives. C. friends.
31. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Feeling Down? Think about Others
B. Feeling Bad? See a Happy Film
C. Feeling Sad? Watch a Sad Movie

阅读下面的短文,从所给的A-E五个选项中选出正确的答案填空,使短文通顺,内容完整。其中选项中有一项是多余的。
If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. ____32____ Even if I am an adult now, the book is still one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your mind when your mother asks you to do some chores? ____33____ I think most people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he got a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom was doing his job, when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. ____34____ “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this!” Tom said.
Tom’s words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.
This story teaches me a valuable lesson: ____35____ The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don’t complain, and you’ll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!
A. Have you ever wanted to complain?
B. The book is quite interesting and popular among kids.
C Complaining is useless.
D. It’s really difficult for the two boys to do that.
E. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task.

If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy movie. A sad movie may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University, the USA, have found that sad movies can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad movie called Atonement. The movie tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War II at the end of the movie. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before after and three times during the movie to find out their different feelings, including sadness.
According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad movie. Scientists believed this was because the movie made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared to those of the unlucky lovers in the movie, their lives were full of hope.
“I want to live my life to the fullest, and this movie has made me think a lot,” one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods (情绪) would make people more thoughtful. “Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don’t have to worry, and you don’t have to think about problems in your life,” she said. “But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad movie may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more.”
28. According to the scientists at Ohio State University, sad movies can make people ________.
A. happier B. sadder C. more terrible
29. How many times did the students answer questions from the scientists during the movie?
A. Five times. B. Four times. C. Three times.

If you love reading books, you must know about the book The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. ____32____ Even if I am an adult now, the book is still one of my favorites. After re-reading the book recently, I have learned an important lesson from Tom Sawyer.
In our daily lives, we are often given some boring or tiring tasks. What’s in your mind when your mother asks you to do some chores? ____33____ I think most people have.
Tom Sawyer, however, had a different thought when he got a boring task. One day, Aunt Polly told Tom to paint the fence (篱笆). Tom was doing his job, when his friend Ben Rogers happened to pass by. ____34____ “Only one in a thousand—maybe even two thousand—boys can do this!” Tom said.
Tom’s words made Ben interested in the task. He even gave Tom his apple so that he could have a chance to paint the fence. If Tom had thought about nothing but complaining, he would have had a bad day painting the fence.
This story teaches me a valuable lesson: ____35____ The next time you are given a boring or tiring task, don’t complain. Unlike what happens in the story of Tom Sawyer, it is unlikely that someone will come and do the work for you. So, don’t complain, and you’ll feel better and perhaps even do a better job!
A. Have you ever wanted to complain?
B. The book is quite interesting and popular among kids.
C. Complaining is useless.
D. It’s really difficult for the two boys to do that.
E. Instead of complaining, Tom told Ben that he felt “excited” about the task.
