• 4．How can you change negative thoughts？Many people suggest thinking of something bright and happy.However，Canadian scientists from Queen's University said that there might be another way：by walking like a happy person.
     "It is not surprising that our mood and the way we feel affects how we walk，but we want to see whether the way we move also affects how we feel." explained Nikolaus Troje，the lead scientist.
     Scientists believe that the way we remember emotional messages is influenced by our mood.When we're sad，we'll remember negative information far more easily than positive messages，especially when the information is about ourselves.
     In order to prove this，Troje and his team watched 47 people walking on the treadmill （跑步机） by cameras.Half of the people were encouraged to follow a depressive （压抑） walking style，while the other half moved like a happy person.Walking speed was kept equal for both groups.Meanwhile，the scientists read out a list of positive and negative words.Then，people were asked to recite （背出） as many words as they could remember.
     As expected，those who had been following the depressive style remembered more negative words than those walking in a happy manner This shows that our walk influences the way we process （处理） information.Scientists also believe that using a happy walking style could help with treatment for depression.
  
  （1）According to scientists from Queen's University，how can we change negative thoughts？

  
  A．To hang out with friends.
  B．To think about a happy person.
  C．To walk like a happy person.
  D．To remember emotional messages.
  （2）What do we know about Troje's test？

  
  A．Scientists took photos of the walking styles of 47 people.
  B．47 people were required to walk at two different speeds.
  C．47 people recited the words they could remember after walking.
  D．Scientists asked 47 people to tell their feelings about depression.
  （3）According to this passage，who can be helped by the scientists' discovery？

  
  A．People who want to walk faster.
  B．Patients suffering from memory loss.
  C．People who want to lose weight.
  D．Patients suffering from depression.
  （4）Where can you probably find this article？

  
  A．In a travel guide.
  B．In a fashion journal.
  C．In a patient's diary.
  D．In a science magazine.

     Ms.Thomas did not know me，but her story forever changed my life.
