16、ngineers, accountants: across section of all the trades and professions and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes business women and housewives. They too had problems. Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry. So again, I tried to find one.I went to the New

17、York great public library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and discovered to my astonishment that this library had only twenty-two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty-nine books listed under WORMS. Almost nine times as many books abo

18、ut worms as about worry! Surprising, isnt it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldnt you, that every high school and college in the land would give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”?Yet, if there is even one course on that subject in any college in the l

19、and, I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully: “We come to maturity with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet.” The result?

24、ice dwarf (冰矮星)，because we have some more jarring news for you: It seems your teachers may have been wrong about the number of continents on the earth，too.Earlier this year, scientists published a report in the journal of the Geological Society of America detailing an eighth continent called Zealand

25、ia, roughly the size of India and almost completely hid itself under the Pacific Ocean east of Australia. Covering all of New Zealand as well as several nearby islands, Zealandia likely spent the best of its above-water days as part of the supercontinent Gondwana before fragmenting off Australia and

26、 Antarctica some 80 million years ago. This lost, underwater continent is just beginning to reveal its secrets, making for one of the most promising scientific discoveries this year.While researchers have been aware of the 1. 9 million-square-mile mass for two decades，Zealandia has only recently bec

27、ome the object of serious study since the Geological Society paper argued that it fits all the criteria for a proper continent, including a continental crust (地壳)thats distinctly separate from the seabed in terms of elevation, thickness, and geology. A team of 32 scientists from 12 countries just co

28、mpleted their first visit to six dig sites around Zealandia, where they drilled up more than 8,000 feet of sediment cores (沉积物岩心)that will help explain the lost continents 80-million-year history.Because there is no official body that formally recognizes continents, whether or not Zeal- andia ends u

A geography magazine. D. A science fiction.DSome of the best research on daily experience is rooted in rates of positive and

32、 negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or to simply tune out.4Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the convers

33、ations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high customer satisfaction and productivity levels.More recent research helps explain why these b

34、rief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your thinking and activates (激活) conflict and defense mechanisms (机制). You assume that situations

36、ive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good ones. Whether youre having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 perc

37、ent of your conversations should be focused on whats going right.Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspec

38、ts. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.32.

This has largely been achieved: nine out of ten

42、children are now enrolled. 36 . Even though most of the worlds children go to school, an awful lot of them learn pretty much nothing there.

43、 simple sentence. 37. The same study found that only 7% of teachers had the minimum knowledge needed to teach reading and writing effectively. When classrooms were inspected to see whether a teacher was present, half the time the answer was no.38 . It seems to bring about bigger improvements in poor

44、 countries than in rich ones. Some of the scarce resources being spent on teachers could therefore be better spent on ed-tech.

45、ts things right more often than the teachers do, that adjusts itself to the childs ability, that sends teachers clues about what they are supposed to be teaching and that allows the authorities to check on whether the teacher is in the classroom.5Technology is no panacea (灵 丹 妙 药 ). Good traditional

But ed-tech can help greatly by monitoring pupils and teachers alike, assisting the best teachers and, most importantly, making up for the failings of the worst.A. The reason is terribleteachingB. Several recent studies suggest ed-tech can
