26、 I must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.
Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.
"Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?"
"I try to."
"Well, don't," he exclaimed. "When you grow up, time won't come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life."
When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript ready for revision, later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were idle moments which could be caught and put to use. I even took up piano--playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided sufficient time for both writing and piano practice.
There is an important trick in this time-using formula: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can't afford to waste four chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.
I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a tremendous influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I plunge in without delay.

D．Rapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine.
【3】The underlined part "counted on" can be replaced by _________.

28、To bring the Olympic spirit to developing nations in the late 1990s, the Olympic Committee allowed a small number of “wild card” athletes to join the Games. But because they didn’t have to go through any qualifying rounds to compete, when they arrived, not all of the competitors were prepared. One such athlete was a swimmer from Equatorial Guinea named Eric Moussambani. When Moussambani arrived at the 2000 Sydney Games, he’d only been training for the 100-meter freestyle for about eight months. He’d also never been in an Olympic-size pool and had never raced more than 50 meters. Regardless, he was determined to represent his country.
The three wild-card athletes were given their own race, and Moussambani was next to the other two swimmers from Niger and Tajikistan. When the official called the swimmers to begin the game, both of Moussambani’s competitors were disqualified for false starts. Left to swim by himself, Moussambani dove in and dog paddled, breathing for air and moving his arms and legs. Halfway through the race, the situation looked so serious that the audience seriously worried he was drowning.
When Moussambani finally passed the finish line and pulled himself from the water, the applause thundered. His final time was 1:52.72 - more than twice that of swimmers in the previous race. But Moussambani couldn’t have been happier. He told reporters, “I’ m going to jump and dance all night long in celebration of my personal success.”
Moussambani’s courage and determination made him an Olympic celebrity (名人). He kept training for the 2004 Games and even got his time down to a respectable 57 seconds.
【1】What can we infer about “wild card” athletes?
A．They arrive late.
B．They are well-prepared.
C．They are the best athletes.
D．They are from developing countries.
【2】How did Moussambani do in the race?
A．He lost in the race.
B．He swam unskillfully.
C．He failed at the beginning.
D．He disappointed everyone.
【3】How did Moussambani feel after finishing the race?
A．Extremely excited.
B．Quite ashamed.
C．Very disappointed.
D．Pretty calm.
【4】Which words can best describe Moussambani?
A．Smart and flexible.
B．Patient and careful.
C．Brave and determined.
D．Optimistic and modest.
29、For every one article on some positive aspect, some positive element of life, wellbeing, satisfaction, joy, happiness, you get 21 articles on depression, anxiety and so on. Ratio of 21 to 1. Studies focus primarily on what doesn't work. And this is not a new phenomenon. The science of psychology（心理）has been far more successful on the negative than on the positive side. It has revealed to us much more about man's shortcomings, his illnesses, but little about his potentialities, his virtues or his psychological height. We study a lot of depression and anxiety, misjudgments and errors, very much focusing on this aspect and very little on the positive. If you had a person who 21 hours in a day was depressed and one hour in a day felt good or one day feeling good and then 21 days feeling anxious and depressed, you would say that this person would need help. And I think psychology needs help.
Today depression is 10 times higher than it was in 1960. Now part of it is because there's more awareness, because we measure better. But that's not all. It's also simply because objectively there's more depression. The average age for depression today is less than 15. Kids at very young age are introduced to the "information highway". And very often, they are not prepared, not able to deal with it in an effective way. So when we look at this data, we say we do need more research to help people overcome depression or anxiety. And there seems nothing wrong about that.
According to the studies, 47% Harvard students over the past year have experienced depression to the point of not functioning. So they couldn't leave home. They were really struggling to just basically get through the day. Now this is not unique to United States. We have a global epidemic here. And once again going back: Is the 21:1 ratio good? How can we even think about studying happiness and well-being and love and joy?
What I'm going to argue for is that we do need to also focus on the positive. I am going to talk about three reasons why we should do that. The first reason is that it is important to focus or what works, because what works or what we focus on rather creates reality. If we focus on what is working, we'll have more working in our world, more working in ourselves, more working in our relationships. The second reason why positive psychology as an independent field of study is important is that being happy is not just the negative statement of depression. It doesn't mean just getting rid of depression or anxiety that I am experiencing so I spontaneously（自然而然）become happy. That's not the case. That's not how it works. And finally, prevention, which is the most effective way of preventing hardship, is actually realized by focusing on and cultivating the positive. So for these three reasons, we need positive psychology.
【1】By using the ratio of 21 to 1, the author means in fact that__________.
A．on an average a person is depressed 21 hours a day and feels good one hour
B．most articles and studies focus primarily on what goes wrong
C．the science of psychology has revealed human's nature
D．nearly half of Harvard and nationwide students suffer from depression
【2】Which is the main reason why depression is 10 times higher than it was in 1960?
A．Simply because people are more aware and we measure better
B．Mainly because teenagers are too weak to fight it.
C．Objectively because there's more depression in the present world.
D．Possibly because we lack effective way to deal with depression.
【3】What is NOT closely related to positive psychology?
A．Preventing depression or anxiety by focusing on and cultivating the positive feelings.
B．Offering various ways of overcoming the negative feelings.
C．Focusing on what is working to have more working in our life.
D．Being happy is not equal to avoiding being unhappy.
【4】What might the author agree with in this article?
A．It is essential for our research to focus more on the bright side
B．There is no need for the science of psychology to deal with the negative side.
C．The conflict between the negative psychology and positive one can't be avoided.
D．We have to remove depression completely in order to be happy.
