coming to town,(S3)drop everything and run for the hills!Hesthe biggest,nastiest(S4)outlaw whos ever lived!,5A few weeks pass(S5)uneventfully.But one afternoon,a local cowhandcomes running through town(S6)yelling,“Big John is coming!Run foryour(S7)lives!”When the bartender leaves the bar to start running,he is knocked to theground by several townspeople rushing out of town.(S8)As hes

got to get out oftown!Dont you hear Big John is coming?”Task3:A View of HappinessScriptDr.Smith has proposed a reasonable,if perhaps somewhat oversimplifies,view of happiness.According to his theory,happiness might be describedas a state if balance.And when human or certain animals achieve thatbalance,they rend to remain in that condition in order to repeat the happyfeeling.To illustrate this,we may study two magnets.When their positive andnegative poles meet,they are comfortably joined,and they 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 happiness inreinforcement.Once they have gained one or more of their goals such asfood,and water,they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction ofthose goals.This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balanceor sense of happiness.According to this theory,only animals with a significant capacity to learnshould be able to experience happiness.But in truth learning can takeplace through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching anitch,followed by pleasure,followed by more scratching,and so on.Thuslearning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For human beings,blessed with the ability to reason,goals are not limitedto the short-term satisfaction of needs.Indeed,there is a strong linkbetween happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals.Even if humanstrive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals?goals,once those goals are gained,happiness is reinforced.1.Why does the speaker mention“magnets”？2.According

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 run in families.Physiology is another factor related to depression.There may be changesor imbalances in chemicals which transmit information in the brain calledneurotransmitters.Many modem antidepressant drugs attempt to increaselevels of certain neurotransmitters so as to increase brain communication.While the causal relationship is unclear;it is known that antidepressantmedications do reliever certain symptoms of depression.Researchers also study psychological factors.They include the complexdevelopment of ones personality and how one has learned to cope withexternal environmental factors,such 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-esteem.Another factor causing depression is ones early experiences.Events suchas the death of a parent,the divorce of the parents,neglect,chronic illness,and severe physical abuse can also increase the likelihood of depressionlater in life.Some present experiences may also lead to depression.Job loss,financialdifficulties,long periods of unemployment,the loss of a spouse or otherfamily 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 anxiety which adds to the possibility oftheir also becoming depressed.Depression-causing FactorsProblem DescriptionSolutionHeredityIt is inherited and run infamilies.Physiologychanges or imbalances inchemicals

and EmotionScriptEmotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason;s is suggestedby phrase such as“appeal to emotions rather than reason and dont letyour emotions take over”.Emotional reactions sometimes produceconsequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with;but during an emotional state,they could not control their actions.Thus,it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about humanbeings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However,recent 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 them involving theextreme of pure intellectual logic,which is often called“cold，and othersinvolving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement,which is called“the heat of passion.The relation logic and emotionmerits careful study.Passion,emotion,or feeling can reinforce anargument,event one based primarily on reason.This is especially true inreligion 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,several researchers havesuggested that typically there is no pure decision or thought;that is,nothought is based“purely on intellectual logic or“purely”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 belief about reason and emotion?3.What does the speaker mean by
