But our voices were a little  46  . For many of us, this was the  47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like  48  to people beside us, we couldn’t help  49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being  50  . To say the three words was not so  51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t  52  to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a  53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I  54  my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then  55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.

Decisions, decisions! Our lives are full of them, from the small ones to the life-changing. The right to choose is central to everyone. Yet sometimes we make bad decisions that leave us unhappy or full of regret. Can science help?
Most of us know little about the mental processes that lie behind our decisions. Luckily, what psychologists 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, but in fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brain’s emotional centre is active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasia, has studied people with damage to only the emotional parts of their brains, and found that they were unable to make basic choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional memories of past choice, 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 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 that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much thinking.
All emotions affect our thinking and motivation,so it may be best to avoid making important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is 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 many studies show that people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.
【小題1】What does the underlined word “central” mean?

A.in the middle B.easy to reachC.importantD.having power
【小題2】Damasia’s study suggests that ________.
A.emotions are the enemy of decision-making.
B.our brain has nothing to do with decision-making.
C.people with physical damage find it hard to make up their minds.
D.our emotional memories of past choices can affect present decisions.
【小題3】 According to the text, what may help us make better decisions?
A.To think about happy times.B.To make many decisions at a time.
C.To stop feeling regretful about the past. D.To learn about the process of decision-making.
【小題4】 Why are angry shoppers more likely to choose the first thing they are offered?
A.They often forget their past choices. B.They make decisions without much thinking.
C.They tend to save time when shopping.D.They are too angry to bargain.
【小題5】What do we learn from the text?
A.Emotions are a part of decision-making.
B.Sad people always make worse choices.
C.No emotion seems to help us make good choices.
D.Only sad feelings affect our thinking and motivation.

No one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind, our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game — by their cooperation, by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, "When two competent opponents (比賽的雙方) meet, the strong-minded one will win." This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear-minded in times of advantage, then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.

59. While watching the game, we _____.

A. had feelings of different kinds

B. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful game

 clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team

D. were eager to know what would happen later on

60. The wonderful game _____.

A. brought us great joy

B. provided us with food for our thoughts

 gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughts

D. give us a valuable amusement

61. The author believed that _____.

A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongest

B. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we have that spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team

 the Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantage

D. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team would never be beaten.

62. The best title of the passage might be “_____”.

A. Watching a Close Volleyball Game

B. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team

 Learn from the Members of the Volleyball Team

D. The Strong - Minded Are the Winners
