Question

【題目】 Answer the questions （根據(jù)以下內(nèi)容回答問題）

Do you think you’re a lucky person? Let’s see what Professor Richard Wise-man, a famous psychologist（心理學(xué)家）, has discovered about luck:

Ten years ago, I set out a research on luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck.

Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in my experiment.

I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to find opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it an tell me how many photographs were in side.

I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying. “Tell the researcher you have seen this and win $50.”

This message took up half of the page and was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but unlucky people tended to （傾向于）miss it and lucky people tended to spot it.

Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on opportunities.

Lucky people tend to be more relaxed and open. They can see everything that is in front of them, rather than just what they are looking for.

My research shows that lucky people live by several principles（原則）. Here are some of these principles:

1.Opportunities are always given to those who are prepared.

2. Be open to new experiences and break your normal thought patterns（模式）.

3.Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.

4.See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call.

【1】How long has Professor Richard Wise-man studied on luck?

【2】What did the volunteers do for the professor during the research?

【3】What’s the purpose of Professor Richard Wise-man’s small experiment?

【4】The message in the newspaper was so small that unlucky people couldn’t find it, wasn’t it?

【解析】

本文講述作者通過實(shí)驗(yàn)總結(jié)出，運(yùn)氣好的人和運(yùn)氣壞的人的區(qū)別。

【1】根據(jù)文中“Ten years ago, I set out a research on luck”可知，已經(jīng)研究了十年。故答案為For ten years。

【2】根據(jù)文中“Many people volunteered for my research. Over the years I interviewed them, watched their lives and had them take part in my experiment”，可知，志愿者在理查德教授的研究里所要做的是觀察他們的生活，并讓他們參與到這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)里。故答案為They were interviewed, watched their lives and they took part in his experiments。

【3】根據(jù)文中“I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to find opportunities”，可知，理查德教授做這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的目的是尋找為什么每個(gè)人發(fā)現(xiàn)機(jī)會(huì)的能力是不同的。故答案為To discover why there were differences in volunteers’ ability to find opportunites。

【4】根據(jù)文中“Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected”，可知，不幸運(yùn)的人看不到 的原因是因?yàn)樗麄兒芙箲]，只查找他們所需要的東西，而不是因?yàn)檫@個(gè)信息在報(bào)紙上太小了。反義疑問句的回答根據(jù)事實(shí)情況回答，所以是No, it isn’t。

【5】根據(jù)文中“Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected”，可知，他們找不到的原因是因?yàn)樗麄兲�焦慮了，只關(guān)注到他們所需要的東西。故答案為Because they are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected。

【6】In my opinions, I think that opportunities are always given to those who are prepared is the most important. Because you can be more relaxed and open. You can see everything that is in front of them. Then you can catch any opportunity.
