Don tyou

15、hear Big Joh n is coming ?”Task3: A View of Happ in ess ScriptDr. Smith has proposed a reas on able, if perhaps somewhatoversimplifies, view of happ in ess. Accordi ng to his theory, happ in ess might be described as a state if bala nee. And when huma n or certa in ani mals achieve that bala nee, th

16、ey rend to rema in in that con diti on in order to repeat the happy feeli ng.To illustrate this, we maystudy two mag nets. Whentheir positive and n egative poles meet, they are comfortably joined, and they remain there. In other words, they have attained a bala nee or state of happ in ess. If on the

17、 other hand, one of the poles is reversed, andpositive pole is presses against positive pole, there is resistance, instability, imbalance a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement. Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as

18、food, and water, they learn to repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals. This repetition or reinforcement produces a state of balance or sense of happiness.According to this theory, only animals with a significant capacity to learn should be able to experience happiness. But in tru

19、th learning can take place through surprisingly simple short-term action such as scratching an itch, followed by pleasure, followed by more scratching, and so on. Thus learning can occur with almost no conscious thought.For humanbeings, blessed with the ability to reason, goals are not limited to th

20、e short-term satisfaction of needs. Indeed, there is a strong link between happiness and the fulfillment of long-term goals. Even if human strive for goals that are more complex and longer-term than the animals goals, once those goals are gained, happiness is reinforced.1.Why does the speaker mentio

22、Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Reason and Emotion Script Emotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason ” and “ dont let your emotions take over ” .Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts

23、which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest

24、 there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world.Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme

25、of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold ”, and others involving the extremes ofpure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion ” .The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one

26、 based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demandsan all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, s

27、everal researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure ” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely ” on intellectual logic or “ purely ” on emotion most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.1.What results does the speaker may some from emotional reactions?2.What is
