29、 a feeling of being in the old west and get you out into nature. The only tool that is required to pan for gold is a gold pan. You can use a regular old flat pan, but “officially” gold pans are quite cheap so you may as well buy one that is made for the task. Most sold pans come in either plastic or
30、 medal. Once you have your pan you will want to start practicing your gold panning technique. Panning for gold works because gold is much heavier than most rocks.

31、-weight rocks are slowly swept away while any gold will be left behind in the pan. To start panning for gold, first you will need to find a good location.

32、already been removed, there are likely to be small leftovers that you can find.

So, putting a brave face on your sadness could be harmful. The research also found that women suffered more t
44、han men when pretending to be happy. Dr. Brent Scott, who led the study, said employers should take note because forcing workers to smile when dealing with the public can result in bad outcomes. He said, “Smiling for the sake of smiling can lead to emotional tiredness, and thats bad for the organiza
45、tion.” He also said the research showed customer-service workers who had “fake smiles” throughout the day fell into a bad mood and didnt want to work, so their productivity dropped. The study is one of the first of its kind to examine emotional expressions over a period of time and compare the diffe
46、rent effects on men and women. Dr. Scotts team examined the effects of “surface acting”, or fake smiling, compared to “deep acting”, or making people smile by thinking of peasant memories. Dr. Scott said, “Women were harmed more by surface acting, meaning their moods worsened even more than mens. Ho
47、wever, they were helped more by deep acting, which means their moods improved more by thinking of pleasant memories. ” According to Dr. Scott, women tend to suffer more when pretending to be happy because they are expected to be more emotionally expressive than men. Therefore, forcing a smile while
48、feeling down is more likely to go against their normal behavior and cause more harmful feelings. Although deep acting can improve moods a little in the short term, Dr. Scott says, its not a long-term solution to feeling unhappy. “There have been some suggestions that if you do this over a long period you start to feel unreal. Youre trying to develop positive emotions, but at the end of the day you may not feel like yourself any more.” 【小题 1】 According to the passage, Dr. Scotts study _.
