15、happiness might bedescribed as a state if balance.And when human or certain animalsachieve that balance,they rend to remain in that condition in order torepeat the happy feeling.To illustrate this,we may study two magnets.When their positive andnegative poles meet,they are comfortably joined,and the
16、y remain there.In other words,they have attained a balance or state of happiness.If onthe other hand,one of the poles is reversed,and positive pole is pressesagainst positive pole,there is resistance,instability,imbalance a state ofunhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find ha
17、ppiness inreinforcement.Once they have gained one or more of their goals such asfood,and water,they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfactionof those goals.This repetition or reinforcement produces a state ofbalance or sense of happiness.According to this theory,only animals with a signif
18、icant capacity to learnshould be able to experience happiness.But in truth learning can takeplace through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratchingan itch,followed by pleasure,followed by more scratching,and so on.Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human bein
19、gs,blessed with the ability to reason,goals are notlimited to the short-term satisfaction of needs.Indeed,there is a stronglink between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals.Even ifhuman strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than theanimals goals,once those goals are gain

34、lkScriptHello,everyone.Today I invite you to join me in an exploration off thecauses of depression.There ate many factors involved,but I believe somedeserve special attention.Heredity certainly plays a role.The tendency to develop depression maybe inherited;there is evidence that this disorder may r
35、un in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression.There may bechanges or imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in thebrain called neurotransmitters.Many modern antidepressant drugsattempt to increase levels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increasebrain communicatio
36、n.While the causal relationship is unclear;it is knownthat antidepressant medications do reliever certain symptoms ofdepression.Researchers also study psychological factors.They include the complexdevelopment of ones personality and how one has learned to cope withexternal environmental factors,such
37、 as stress.It is freeqently observedthat low self-esteem and self-defeating thinking are connected withdepression.While it is not clear which is the cause and which is the effect,it is known that sufferers who are able to make corrections to theirthinking patterns can show improved mood and self-est
38、eem.Another factor causing depression is one s early experiences.Eventssuch as the death of a parent,the divorce of the parents,neglect,chronicillness,and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood ofdepression later in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression.Job loss,f
39、inancial difficulties,long periods of unemployment,the loss of a spouseor other family member,or other painful events may trigger depression.Long-term stress at home,work,or school can also be involved.It is worth nothing that those living with someone suffering fromdepression experience increased a

43、adds to thepossibility of their alsobecoming depressed.VI.Further Listening and SpeakingTaskl:Reason and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason;s is suggestedby phrase such as appeal to emotions rather than reason and dont let your emotions take over.Emotional reactions
44、 sometimes produceconsequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagreewith;but during an emotional state,they could not control their actions.Thus,it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts abouthuman beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However,rec
45、ent empirical studies do not suggest there is a cleardistinction between reason and emotion.Indeed,anger or fear can oftenbe thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact.The humanmind possesses many possible reactions to the external world.Thosereactions can lie on a continuum,with some of
46、 them involving theextreme of pure intellectual logic,which is often called cold,andothers involving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logicalagreement,which is called“the heat of passion”.The relation logic andemotion merits careful study.Passion,emotion,or feeling can reinforcean argumen
47、t,event one based primarily on reason.This is especially truein religion or ideology,which frequently demands an all-or-nothingrejection or acceptance.In such areas of thought,human beings have toadopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument andpartly by feeling and passion.Moreover
48、,several researchers havesuggested that typically there is no pure decision or thought;that is,no thought is based purely on intellectual logic or Mpurely onemotionmost decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1.What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2.What is the popular
