Researchers found that walking around with a forced smile and fake (假的) happiness simply leads to people feeling unhappier. So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more than men when pretending to be happy.
Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outcomes. He said, “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional tiredness, and that’s bad for the organization.” He also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didn’t want to work, so their productivity dropped.
The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and compare the different effects on men and women. Dr. Scott’s team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, compared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of peasant memories.
Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than men’s. However, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved more by thinking of pleasant memories. ”
According to Dr. Scott, women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings.
Although deep acting can somewhat improve moods in the short term, Dr. Scott says, it’s not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. “There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long perio d you start to feel unreal. You’re trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.”
50. Dr Scott’s findings may be important to some employers because ______________.
A. they want more female workers than male workers
B. they tend to force their workers to smile in public
C. their workers don’t want to work all the time
D. their workers worsen their moods at the end of the day
51. According to the passage, Dr Scott’s study _______________.
A. aimed to make people more productive
B. examined more women than men
C. is meaningful as there haven’t been many similar ones
D. is supported by some big employers
52. Women suffer more from fake happiness mainly because _____________.
A. they are supposed to be more emotionally expressive
B. they like thinking of pleasant memories
C. they become shy in public
D. they are often treated badly
53. It is implied in the passage that deep acting ______________.
A. there was a decrease in classroom violence
B. cannot improve our moods at all
C. makes people happy by feeling like another person
D. does harm to our feelings in the long run
54. What is the best title for the passage?
A. An important suggestion for workers
B. Fake smiling makes people unhappy.
C. Why people don’t want to work.
D. Women shouldn’t be forced to smile.

It was Mother's Day. He was driving his new car and enjoying the beauty of nature. The colorful flower shop near the road attracted his attention.

How to Find Yourself
Do you often feel lost？Do you think you are living somebody else’s life? If yes, discover ways to find yourself by going through the following article.
61¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬ __________
If you are thinking, “how to find yourself when you are lost?”, then the first thing to do is to have a rest from everything—work, personal life and all worldly things. Give time to yourself to think why you seem lost. Is it because of overwork? Is it because you are not leading a life that you want to? Or is it because you are not satisfied with the people or things around you? Try to find answers to these questions to determine the cause behind your restlessness.
62 __________
For once, instead of being the way others want you to be, be yourself. Look within and find yourself in you. Think about the things that you would want to do if you didn’t have any family obligations or any money issues. Think about the kind of relationship you would want to be in, the place that you would like to stay in, the kind of lifestyle you would like to lead, if you didn’t have the society or people around you, judging all the time. If you really want to know how to find inner peace, the n think, what you would want others to describe you as—an honest person? Or adventurous? Or loving, or realistic? Once you look within, you will know the answer and then try to be exactly that.
63 __________
Thinking deeply about the past, the time or situations when you were the happiest, is another way to find yourself .Think what you were doing or with whom you were, when you were the happiest. This will help you to identify things that you want to do in life that make you happy and also certain people whose company you enjoy.
64 __________
Knowing yourself and determining what you to do with your life will not come to you in a day or two. Discovering oneself is an ongoing process and it can take months or sometimes even years to truly find yourself. So, it’s important that you maintain a written record of all your feeli ngs and thoughts, which you can go through at a later stage. Pour all your emotions and feelings about life in it and who knows may be one day going through it, you will find yourself.
65 __________
Once you have discovered what you want to do with your life, make a move for change and self improvement. Even if it means taking up small things such as dancing or painting, go ahead and do it. If you want a career change, plan and take steps so that it can take place smoothly. If you are stuck in a bad relationship and find yourself unable to mend it, break away. At the beginning, you may find yourself slightly unbalanced, but with time everything will be fine.
It is very important for you to truly find yourself, before it is too late. If you do not find yourself now, you will spend your life with somebody you do not even know, i.e. yourself.
