| Sadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's after losing a job, the breakup of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them. But is this really such a good idea?A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't.They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose (行为轻率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it, we lose out.Yet many psychiatrists (精神病医生) insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression (抑郁症), they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better. So who is right?Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life.It may be a selfprotection strategy, as other primates (灵长类) als  o show signs of sadness.A losing monkey thatdoesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could result in death. In humans, sadness has a further function:we may display sadness as a form of communication.By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support. Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark mood  s.There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder.Scientists find that people with signs of depression perform better at a creative task, and that negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front.There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career.A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s.The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them. 1. The underlined word "this" refers to________. A. taking drugs B. falling in despair C. losing a job D. feeling sad 2. The author believes sadness is________. A. a good thing for people's health B. something horrible never to touch C. a necessary function of humans D. always to be treated as depression 3. Some animals show their sadness in order to________. A. cheat their enemy B. protect themselves C. comfort the loser D. challenge the winner  4. We can infer from the last paragraph that________.A. people with great creativity tend to be happier B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career C. too much hap  piness can be bad for your careerD. the happiest people are the most successful ones |

| In 1970, tragedy struck the Gerstman family when Harvey and Carol Gerstman's daughter, Lisa Beth, was killed in a summer camp bus accident.Because camp had been such a joy in Lisa Beth's life, the Gerstmans wanted to start a foundation in her name.They wanted to bring that same summer camp joy Lisa Beth felt to other children.When Lisa Beth's brother, Dan, heard the Cross Island YMCA (CIYMCA) was looking for funds to help send physically disabled children  to summer camp, he knewit was the perfect way to keep Lisa Beth's memory alive. Dan soon learned that many disabled children spent the summer indoors while their ablebodied peers enjoyed camp.The added costs of onetoone care and specialized busing for the disabled children prevented them from being able to join in summer camp.The Gerstman family responded to this need by setting up the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation in 2003.Its mission (使命) is to provide children with physical disabilities the opportunity to attend camps in an integrated (综合的) setting. During its first summer, the foundation teamed up with CIYMCA and funded 20 physically disabled kids with varying degrees of disabilities.The children were given the opportunity to experience the joys of summer camp, build lasting friendships and develop their selfconfidence  .Over the last five years, the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation has been partnering with camps that are willing to launch (发起) integrated programs that include wheelchair accessible transportation, onetoone swimming instruction, adaptive physical education equipment and training, all in a caring environment where the children join in all regular camp activities.Last summer, the foundation partnered with six camps, which allowed a total of 150 physically disabled children to experience summer camp. 1. What stopped disabled kids from joining in summer camp according to the passage? A. Some extra  costs for it.B. Lack of enough time C. No permission from parents. D. Lack of selfconfidence. 2. What's the purpose of setting up the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation? A. To develop children's confidence. B. To raise money for disabled children. C. To organize summer camp for different people. D. To make it possible for disabled children to attend camps. 3. According to the passage, the Lisa Beth Gerstman Foundation ________.
