11、t rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway.

13、 It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(滅火器), which Id always wanted to shoot off.

24、your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling,” Jonah Berger, a psychologist at University of Pennsylvania, Us told The New York Times.But with social media getting increasingly popular, information is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are discovering new rulesgood news can actuall

25、y spread faster and farther than disasters and other sad stories.Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousands of articles on The New York Times website and analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his findings was that articles in the science section were much more l

26、ikely to make the list. Those stories aroused feelings of awe(敬畏) and made the readers want to share this positive emotion with others.Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positive an article was, the more likely it wa

27、s to be shared,” Berger wrote in his new book. “For example, stories about newcomers falling in love with New York City,” he writes, “tended to be shared more than the death of a popular zookeeper.”But does all this good news actually make the audience feel better? Not necessarily.According to a stu

28、dy by researchers at Harvard University, people tend to say more positive things about themselves when theyre talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one person, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep showing up on microblogs. This, researchers found, makes people think that

33、epression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression” to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of

34、interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(倉鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal(夜的), which means they sleep during the

35、day and are active at night.The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period.

They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University.
