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.

Dogs can be worried and pessimistic just like people, researchers report in a new study in Current Biology. And they aren’t talking about basset hounds (短腳獵狗): those dogs just look as if they expect the worst.
What the scientists say is that dogs that exhibit anxiety when left home alone by their owners may have bigger problems — they may be in a permanent bad mood.
This pessimistic outlook may not otherwise be easily apparent in a dog’s other characteristics, like running speed or learning ability, the study reports.
Dogs are similar to humans in the role that emotional state plays in decision making, said Michael Mendel, a veterinary scientist at the University of Bristol and the study’s lead author. The study’s researchers looked at 24 dogs in shelters in Britain.
They placed the dogs in isolated settings and observed their reactions — many barked, jumped on furniture and scratched at the door.
Then they placed bowls in two rooms. One bowl contained food, while another was empty. After training the dogs to understand that bowls can sometimes be empty, and sometimes full, they began to place bowls in ambiguous locations.
Dogs that quickly raced to the locations were more optimistic, and in search of food. Those that did not were deemed pessimistic.
The more separation anxiety a dog expressed while in isolation, the more likely the dog was to have a pessimistic reaction, the researchers found.
The study carries an important message for dog owners, Dr. Mendel said.
Dogs that express serious anxiety when alone may need treatment, as it could be a sign of unhappiness and instability.
【小題1】This passage can be classified as _________.

A．a(chǎn)n advertisementB．a(chǎn) feature story
C．a(chǎn) news reportD．a(chǎn) book review
【小題2】 In the study, many dogs barked, jumped and scratched because __________.
A．they couldn’t find the bowl with food in it
B．they were left alone
C．they needed to be treated
D．they wanted to be active and optimistic
【小題3】According to Dr. Mendel, which statement is true?
A．Like humans, dogs are good at decision making.
B．Dog owners should train dogs to find food.
C．Emotional state works sometimes when humans make decision.
D．Dogs can always find the bowl with food quickly.
【小題4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Dogs will be optimistic as long as they are left alone.
B．Dogs must be in a permanent bad mood when their owners left.
C．Dogs that express anxiety don’t need treatment.
D．Dogs may easily show their pessimistic outlook in learning ability.
