Like many other students beginning graduate school，I was quickly charged with responsibilities and had to find time for studying by letting goof many other things I valued．
Letting go of football and the violin was，however，self-defeating：it might have brought me more time in the short term，but spending that extra time on work only made me more stressed and less productive．
Towards the end of the MSC （Master of Science） program，I started to lose my motivation and curiosity for science and research，as well as my creativity．Spending so much time and energy in the laboratory，and focusing all my attention on my thesis and courses，made me feel down and almost totally uninterested in my field - not to mention short-tempered and oversensitive in my personal communications．
Over time，I learnt from these experiences．When I started my PhD，I focused on balancing academic success with personal time-off，and made personal happiness a priority（首要事情） in my weekly schedule．My mentor （导师） and I discussed my work-life balance early in my program，and we arrange our lab responsibilities accordingly．
I set boundaries for myself in new ways：rather than doing lab work all weekend，I'd play football or the violin，or visit loved ones，before allowing myself to work fora few hours．This was hard at first：I worried that it would affect my standing with my peers，and superiors，but I had learnt from experiences that an overloaded schedule can drain （使疲劳） you so much that you become unfocused and start making mistakes or forgetting important details．
Since establishing a better work-life balance，I've been doing well in graduate school．Outside the lab，I've been able to take up a few leadership positions at my university because I'm not as stressed with my work．I serve as our department's student councilor and am also vice-president academic in the Health Sciences Graduate Students' Association．My advice is this：a healthy work-life balance isn't a luxury；it's a key part of success in graduate programs．
46. What is the author's problem？ ______
A. He must study hard to graduate.
B. He must give up his hobby for study.
C. He didn't know how to study more effectively.
D. He didn't know how to deal with pressure.
47. Paragraph 2 shows ______ .
A. the challenges of an MSC program
B. the consequences of giving up hobbies
C. the benefits of focusing on schoolwork

48. To balance academic and personal life，the author ______ .
A. asks his peers for help
B. seeks to reduce his lab duties
C. puts his hobbies first more often
D. avoids schoolwork at weekends at all
49. When the author gets his hands too full，he ______ .
A. tends to put things on hold
B. tends to lose the attention to details
C. will lose his patience with his academic work
D. will make a new schedule accordingly
50. What can be inferred from the author's personal experience？ ______

B. It's easy to be work-life balanced in our lives.
C. Multi-tasking has many advantages in the university.

An Epidemic （流行病） of Depression？Seligman is leading the charge in what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology.Since World War II，psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken — repairing psychosis （精神病），and neurosis （神经衰弱）.Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic，while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.
When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such "positive psychology"，he found only 800 out of 70，000. "Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person，and helping him get to negative 2，" said Seligman，a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor. "My aim is to
Seligman said. "Depression is 10 times more common now，and life satisfaction rates are down as well." Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology's model away from its narrow-minded focus on pathology （病理学），and mental illness towards positive emotion，virtue and strength，and positive institutions that increase people's happiness.If you want to be happy，forget about winning the lottery，getting a nose job，or securing a raise.In his new book，Authentic Happiness，psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes，money，or even luck.Instead，he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have，including kindness，creativity，humor，optimism，and generosity.He has named the discipline "Positive Psychology"，arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than be moaning，and，hence，trying to repair our weaknesses.By frequently calling upon their strengths，people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions，he said.
To cultivate happiness，we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues.Next，apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance our happiness-generating system.
51. Why could Seligman's work be called Happiness Revolution？ ______
A. Because happy or joyful people among us also suffer from illness.
B. Because psychology is the emotional characteristic of an individual.
C. Because psychology is the science that deals with mental processes and behavior.
D. Because traditional research on psychology rarely concerns happy or joyful people.
52. What does Seligman mean by saying "take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6"？ ______
A. We should focus on happy or joyful people.
B. The number of happy or joyful people will increase by 4.
C. "Positive psychology" articles need to be published more.
D. Happy people among us also need improve their mentality.
53. According to the passage，traditional opinion of psychology is ______ .
A. encouraging B. narrow-minded C. subjective D. optimistic
54. Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results from ______ .
A. good genes，money，or luck B. contented life
C. positive mental status D. a good job
55. According to the passage，which of the statements might Martin Seligman support？ ______
A. Promotion leads to true happiness.
B. We rely on our strengths for happiness.
C. Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.
D. Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.
56. The main topic of the passage is ______ .
A. how we can cultivate our happiness
B. why material goods can't boost people
C. why we should cultivate our happiness
D. how complicated our happiness-generation system is
