23、4 .”for the speakers, verbal tee-ups are used to make it easier to say something 45 . they sound 46 and polite. but pennebaker, who 47 these phrases, says in many cases, the point of these phrases “is to formalize social relations so you dont have to 48 your true self.”elizabeth bernstein, who wrote

24、 the wall street journal article, says these sayings so frequently 49 untruth that they can be confusing, even when used in a neutral context. “they often lead to a 50 in personal communications because listeners 51 to take those types of statements in a negative light” she says.to 52 the damage of

30、ine and his colleagues have studied the speed of life in cities around the world and across the u.s. in a series of experiments they measured how fast a single pedestrian in a downtown center covered a distance of 60 feet, timed how long it took to complete a simple commercial transaction, and recor

31、ded the accuracy of randomly selected clocks in the downtown business area. they found that places with a faster pace of life also had stronger economies, and that people in larger cities tended to move faster than those in less populated areas. so as you might expect, fast-moving people are associa

32、ted with fast-moving economies. but does that faster life translate into greater happiness? in faster places, people were more likely to smoke, less likely to take the time to help strangers in need, and more likely to die from heart diseases. yet levine and his colleagues found that people in faste

35、y accepted; even if his theory is correct, wealthier nations might be happier overall if they address the basic needs to more of their people. in any case, the ongoing debate indicates that we need to be careful when making connections between happiness and overall economic factors. among individual

36、s in a society, busyness - or the feeling of busyness - seems to be an important factor in well-being. that feeling of busyness - of having a lot to do and too little time in which to do it is often associated with stress and anxiety. however in many contexts being busy is badge of honor: busy paren

37、ts are seen as devoted to their childrens well-being and the busy lawyer can charge a premium hourly rate. in us studies, the happiest people reported that they were busy, in the sense that they had little excess time, yet did not feel rushed. levines work raises the possibility that an individuals

38、feelings about their use of time contribute as much or more to their happiness as does economics. now the big challenge is to find out which way the causal chain works: does the feeling of being active, yet not rushed, contribute to happiness? or does happiness allow people toperceive（覺察）their use o

39、f time in positive ways?56. what can we learn about levines study?a. it calculated a persons walking distance during a certain period. b. it was carried out for some commercial purposes. c. it researched life rhythm in various economies and areas. d. it was mainly conducted in the western world.57.

43、ny people regard long afternoon naps and late dinners as perfect aspects of the spanish way of life. until the 1940s, spain was on the same time as britain and portugal. in world war ii, spain and portugal moved the clocks forward to align them with nazi germany. the same happened in portugal. after

44、 the defeat of hitler, portugal returned to greenwich mean time, but spain did not.“the fact that for more than 71 years spain has not been in its proper time zone means we sleep almost an hour less than the world health organization recommends,” lawmakers in the spanish parliament wrote in a propos

45、al“this has a negative effect on productivity, absenteeism, stress, accidents and school drop-out rates.”last september, a parliamentary commission recommended that the government turn back the clocks by one hour and introduce a regular eight-hour workday. for the time being, the spanish government

46、is treating the campaign seriously but it hasnt taken any action yet.spains time zone issue explains why everything in spain happens later, from meal times to broadcast entertainment (primetime doesnt start until 10 pm). many urban spaniards complain of a never-ending workday that begins in the morn

49、 working mothers. it would also allow families more free time together and boost spains economic recovery.maria angles duran, a sociologist with the spanish national research council, is skeptical that changing the time zone will reverse low productivity, which she attributes more to the structure o
