18、f unknown secrets in London.BProcrastinators (拖延症患者)，take note: If youve tried building self-control and youre stillputting things off, maybe you need to try something different. One new approach: Check yourmood.Often, procrastinators attempt to avoid the anxiety or worry aroused by a tough task wit

19、hactivities aimed at repairing their mood, such as checking Facebook or taking a nap. But thepattern, which researchers call “giving in to feel good,” makes procrastinators feel worse later,when they face the consequences of missing a deadline or making a last-minute effort, saysTimothy Pychyl (rhym

20、es with Mitchell), an associate professor of psychology at CarletonUniversity.Increasingly, psychologists and time-management consultants are focusing on a new strategy:helping procrastinators see how attempts at mood repair are destroying their efforts and learn tocontrol their emotions in more pro

21、ductive ways.The new approach is based on several studies in the past two years showing that negativeemotions can damage attempts at self-control. It fills a gap among established time-managementmethods, which stress behavioral changes such as adopting a new organizing system or doingexercises to bu

22、ild willpower.Researchers have come up with a playbook of strategies to help procrastinators turn moodrepair to their advantage. Some are tried-and-true classics: Dr. Pychyl advises procrastinators tojust get started, and make the doorstep for getting started quite low. “Procrastinators are morelike

23、ly to put the technique to use when they understand how mood repair works,” says Dr. Pychyl,author of a 2013 book，“Solving the Procrastination Puzzle.” He adds，“A real motive powercomes from doing what we intend to dothe things that are important to us.”He also advises procrastinators to practice “t

24、ime travel”projecting themselves into the futureto imagine the good feelings they will have after finishing a task, or the bad ones they will have ifthey dont. This cures procrastinators tendency to get so stuck in present anxieties and worriesthat they fail to think about the future.Another mood-re

25、pair strategy, self-forgiveness, is aimed at dismissing the self-blame.University freshmen who forgave themselves for procrastinating on studying for the first exam in acourse procrastinated less on the next exam, according to a recent study led by Michael Wohl, anassociate professor of psychology a

26、t Carleton.Thomas Flint learned about the technique by reading research on self-control, includingstudies by Dr. Sirois and Dr. Pychyl. He put it to use after his family moved recently to a newhouse. Instead of beating himself up for failing to unpack all the boxes gathered in his garage rightaway,

27、Mr. Flint decided to forgive himself and start with a single step. Id say, “OK, Im going totake an hour, with a goal of getting the TV set up, and thats it,he says; then he watched a TV showas a reward. Allowing himself to do the task in stages, he says, is “a victory.”24. What does Timothy Pychyl m

Self-forgiveness is an effective way to cure procrastination.CBlind Dates atAlchemy in the DarkSoup on my nose, a nearly spilt glass of wine and chocolate down my white blouse, as blinddates suggest, this was a really messy one

32、. I had never made so much noise with plates and glasses,nor had I dined with a never-before-met companion. The blind date was quite different: we couldsee nothing. “Put your left hand on my shoulder, and then well take small steps forward,” saidMichael, the visually impaired waiter, in an East Lond

40、rkDconclude the experience of eating atAlchemy in the DarkDScientists have exactly discovered the set of brain cells involved in making risky decisions,and have been able to control them in rats using targeted light. By changing the activity of the cellsthey were able to change the behaviour of risk

41、-taking rats to avoid risk, hinting the approach couldin future be used to treat people with impulse control problems.Risk-taking is a key part of survival, knowing when to take a chance could pay offsuch asmoving to a new area to look for food when pickings are slim.While all animals need an elemen

42、t of risk, the preference towards it varies betweenindividuals. Researchers found this variation, which determines how risk-averse an individual is, isregulated by brain cells in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. This cluster ofneurons releases the neurotransmitter dopamine, which

43、regulates the brains reward and pleasurecenters.Previous studies have shown that in patients with Parkinsos disease, taking medication whichblocks specific dopamine receptors (DR2) (受体) leads to increased gambling behaviour and risktaking behaviour. In studies with rats, researchers were able to use

44、 a technique called optogenetics(光遗传学)which uses light sensitive proteins to change the activity of cellsto modify cellswith DR2 in the nucleus accumbens.Rats were trained to choose one of two levers, offering them a choice between a “safe” or“risky” choice. The safe option resulted in a small, but

45、consistent amount of a sugar water treat.But the risky choice consistently delivered smaller amounts of sugar water, with the occasionallarge pay offessentially encouraging the animals to gamble for a bigger prize. Around two-thirdsof the animals werent keen on risk, choosing the safe option, but th

46、e remaining third wererisk-seekers. Brain scans of the animals showed that those with low levels of DR2 consistentlywent for the gamble.But using pulses of light to stimulate the DR2 cells and improve their activity could cause therisk-takers to play it safe and choose the guaranteed but less reward

47、ing option. Once thelight-pulses stopped, the risk-takers returned to their gambling strategy.In the risk-averse animals, stimulating the same cells had little to no effect.Professor Karl Deisseroth, of Stanford University in California, said: “Humans and rats havesimilar brain structures involved.”

48、 And we found a drug known to increase risk preference inpeople had the same effect on the rats. So every indication is that these findings are relevant tohumans. “Risky behavior has its moments where its valuable. As a species, we wouldnt havecome as far as we have without it.”32. The variation in

49、peoples preference towards risks is directly regulated by _.A. nucleus accumbens B. light sensitive proteins C. neurons D. dopamine33. From the experiment with rats, we can conclude that _.A. the lack of DR2 cells results in a safe optionB. the levels of DR2 have little to do with their choicesC. the high levels of DR2 can make animals avoid risksD. the risky choice is a less rewarding option34. The underlined words in Paragraph 7 most likely mean the animals that are _.A. re
