【正文】 professor Noelle Nelson and her team found that the more emotional a person39。 The researchers carried out two experiments in which undergraduate students were required to perform specific tasks. In one experiment, they were asked to search online for a squeezer and report the lowest price they could find with the possibility of winning a $50 cash prize. However, the task was controlled, and all participants were told (by a puter) that the lowest price was $ less than their reported price. Consequently, no participant won the cash prize. When the results were announced, some participants were asked to focus on their emotional response, and others on their cognitive (認(rèn)知的) response. During the next similar task, participants who focused on their emotional response to failure made more effort than those who focused on a cognitive response.t matter.

I had so fully bought into the belief that with enough effort, I could control what happened in my life. I actually caught myself thinking I could work my way out of my cancer. As it turns out, cancer doesn39。s work.t just a feelgood exercise. For example, technology and medicine have progressed to the point that many patients are living longer than they would have even a decade ago. These are achievements worth celebrating. And yet I wonder if the focus on success is sometimes misguided here as well. If it is one reason why we tend to pursue expensive endoflife treatments, they often acplish little other than to make a patient39。 My hope here is to make a case for thinking about meaning, in the same way we think about pursuing success.

He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942. What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, What did you learn from your father? The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津貼) of life I had been blessed with when pared to my father.t want to talk about his father. father died when he was very young. was much disappointed in his father. was no photo of his father left.（2）What do we know about the author? is the only child of his parents. father died of a medical condition. remembered quite a lot about his father. lived with his parents during World War II.（3）The father39。s life.
