22、 Job interviews, exams, medical tests—we’ve all waited and worried over the results. Some lucky people can wait without much worrying. Many of us, however, get anxious awaiting the outcome.
Kate Sweeny, a professor of psychology at University of California Riverside, studies these differences in waiting behavior. In her latest study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, she and a colleague studied 50 law school graduates waiting for the results of the California Bar Exam (律师资格考试). They took detailed surveys about the participants' self-esteem, how well they managed uncertainty, and whether they were more optimistic or pessimistic (悲观的). They also looked at how participants managed expectations and handled stress.
Not surprisingly, they found that an optimistic outlook and being more comfortable with uncertainty made waiting less stressful. It didn't matter whether the participants reported high self-esteem or not. What mattered most was whether they expected the best.
“I was surprised,” says Sweeny.
Also interesting was that people changed as they got closer to learning the results. At first,it was harder for all of the participants to distract themselves, and all of them—even optimists—became more pessimistic as time went on.
Expecting bad news and preparing for failure may not relieve anxiety while waiting, but later on, it gives people a sense of control over their futures.
Similarly, it’s important that people don’t attach to much of themselves to the result. “If you convince yourself the bar exam is... just a silly exam you have to take and doesn’t reflect on your or your abilities, that... might help you .. if the news is bad,” she says.
Worriers can take comfort, however. Sweeny found that participants who suffered more stress were better at receiving even bad news. Indeed, those who had more anxiety while waiting for their bar exam results were more likely to turn around and start studying again if they failed.
Sweeny is recently studying the effects of mindfulness meditation (正念冥想) for those who are absorbed in results, as it helps people control their thoughts and emotions. The technique is perfect for this situation, she says. Waiting will never be easy, but having something under your control could make it more acceptable.
【1】What did Sweeny find about her participants?
A．Law school students found it more difficult to accept failure.
B．The longer they waited, the less worried they seemed to be.
C．Positive people felt less stressed while waiting for their results.
D．Those with high expectations before the tests were more likely to fail.
【2】What would Sweeney probably suggest to those who are waiting nervously?
A．Keep hoping for the best.
B．Always prepare for the worst.
C．Do not focus on the results.
D．Take the results as judgments on your abilities
【3】Which participants were more likely to try again after failure?
A．Those who felt more anxious while waiting.
B．Those who were comfortable with uncertainty.
C．Those who had a sense of control over their failure.
D．Those who often practiced mindfulness meditation.
23、 Due to a disease, Cillian Jackson, 2, can't walk. But the boy now motors around in style, thanks to some students at his local high school.
It all started when Cillian's doctor told his parents about a program called Go Baby Go, which provides modified (改进的) toy cars to children with limited mobility.
They looked into it, but there wasn't a Go Baby Go branch near the Jackson family's home in Farmington. And motorized wheelchairs can cost more than $1, 000. So the parents turned to the robotics team at Farmington High School and asked if the students would be willing to take on the project.
The students accepted the challenge. Using plans and models from Go Baby Go, they got to work, modifying a Power Wheels toy car to fit little Cillian and give him more freedom in his movements.
“Everything that we've been doing for robotics competitions could be directly related to this challenge,” robotics coach Spencer Elvebak said. “The students did the programming. They did all the wiring. They did all the work.”
“In education in general we tell students we're giving them the tools to apply in the future and do something with this,” Elvebak said. “Here's a perfect example. Students do have the skills to wire, code, program and approach an engineering challenge.”
The robotics students met Cillian last week after presenting him with his car last December. The toy car has been a success. Cillian's parents usually carry him around, they said. Now Cillian has more control over where he goes. “When he gets in his car, he can stop and look at all of these things he's never had time to explore.” said Cillian's dad, Tyler Jackson. Cillian's mom, Krissy Jackson, added, “It really helped with his sense of discovery and curiosity. Having the car has really given him the ability to make choices on his own.”
“The modified car allows Cillian to practice for when he finally qualifies to get a motorized wheelchair, which he will need to attend school.” his parents said.
【1】What did Cillian's parents ask Farmington High School to do?
A．Collect money for Cillian.
B．Join the program Go Baby Go.
C．Make a modified car for Cillian.
D．Allow Cillian to attend the school.
【2】What do we know about Farmington High School's students?
A．They won a prize for the project.
B．They gave up the project halfway.
C．They carried out the project as requested.
D．They had their teachers help with the project.
【3】What did Elvebak say about the project?
A．It was a waste of time.
B．It was too difficult for students.
C．It had nothing to do with what students had studied.
D．It was a golden chance for students to apply what they had learned.
【4】How did Cillian's parents feel about the modified car?
A．It needed to be improved.
B．It was much too expensive.
C．It helped a lot in Cillian's life.
D．It would be a hit in the market.
