46 What is the main idea of the passage?
(A)Depression is not the end of the world.
(B)A daily routine can boost your happiness.
(C)Your inner voice leads you to a bright future.
(D)No one is perfect and we all make mistakes.

 Even if you have not been diagnosed 診斷 with a mental illness 心理疾病, day-to-day每天的 stresses can easily drain your life of fulfillment and contentment. Fortunately, the scientific field of so-called “positive psychology” has provided countless techniques to boost your mood.  *drain (v.) 排水、排出，這裡引申為每天的壓力容易耗盡妳的生活成就感和滿足感。

       But how do we find the time to apply them to 應用 our daily lives? Sandi Mann, a clinical psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire, offers one solution. As正如 she outlines in her book, Ten Minutes to Happiness, her program takes the form of a daily journal 日記, to be completed in five parts: what experiences, however mundane 平凡的, gave you pleasure, what praise and feedback did you receive, what were your achievements, what made you feel grateful, and how did you express kindness.  #第47題 1.體驗了什麼，儘管平凡，卻給你帶來愉悅感 2.獲得了什麼讚美和回饋 3.你取得了什麼成就 4.什麼讓您感到感恩 5.您如何表達仁慈。 
      The program builds on a vast amount of scientific research showing that taking a little time to reappraise your day in these ways can slowly shift your mindset so that you eventually find more happiness in your life. 花一點時間以這些方式重新評估您的一天，會慢慢改變您的思維方式，從而最終使您的生活更加快樂。When we feel low 情緒低落,it can be easy to overlook the things that are going right, and keeping this journal brings them to the forefront of your attention. 

      Mann stresses that the benefits do not just come from the immediate lift as you write the entries; re-reading your previous entries can help you cope with difficult situations in the future too. Due to our “associative聯想的” memory, a dark mood – caused by one bad event – may lead you to remember other sources of stress and unhappiness. Whenever that happens, leafing through翻閱 the pages of your journal may help you to break out of that   ruminative (a.)反覆思考的 spiral. 

#第48題
當我們遇到不好的事情時，常常會陷入負面情緒中，因為腦中的聯想記憶，使得我們可能會反覆去思考過去失敗的經歷，但透過Mann提出的寫日記方式，讓我們得以回顧先前的正向思考模式，藉此擺脫負面思考的循環。(個人解讀提供參考^^)

      The last point builds on recent research into the power of kindness. Various studies have found that selfless無私的 acts not only increase the well-being of those around you, they consistently boost your own mood too. Spending a bit of money to help a stranger, for instance, makes you far happier than using the same cash to treat yourself.
#第49題 研究證實幫助別人、友善和無私的舉動也能提升自己正向的情緒。

      A 10-minute review of your day can`t work miracles, of course, and Mann stresses強調 that anyone who suspects they may suffer from depression should still see doctors for professional medical care. But for those who generally feel low and stressed, without severe clinical symptoms, this might just help put you back on the right path.
#第50題 這個方法並不適用於任何人，有嚴重情緒困擾的人仍須尋求專業的醫療協助。

這題應該送分
(B)每日的例行工作可以促進你的快樂 -->何謂例行工作根本沒說清楚。

即使您沒有被診斷出患有精神疾病，日常壓力也很容易耗盡您充實和滿足的生活。幸運的是，所謂的“積極心理學”科學領域提供了無數技巧來提振你的情緒。 但是我們如何找到時間將它們應用到我們的日常生活中呢？中央蘭開夏大學的臨床心理學家桑迪·曼 (Sandi Mann) 提供了一種解決方案。正如她在《幸福十分鐘》一書中所概述的那樣，她的計劃採用每日日記的形式，分為五個部分：哪些經歷，無論多麼平凡，卻給你帶來了快樂，你收到了哪些讚揚和反饋，你是什麼成就，是什麼讓你感到感激，你是如何表達善意的。 該計劃建立在大量科學研究的基礎上，表明花一點時間以這些方式收穫讚美你的一天可以慢慢改變你的心態，最終你會在生活中找到更多的幸福。當我們情緒低落時，很容易忽視正在發生的事情，寫日記會讓它們成為你關注的焦點。 Mann 強調，好處不僅僅來自於您編寫條目時的即時提升；重新閱讀您以前的條目也可以幫助您應對未來的困難情況。由於我們的“聯想”記憶，由一件壞事引起的陰暗情緒可能會讓您想起壓力和不快樂的其他來源。每當這種情況發生時，翻閱你的日記可能會幫助你擺脫沉思的漩渦。 最後一點建立在最近對善良力量的研究之上。各種研究發現，無私的行為不僅會增加你周圍人的幸福感，還會持續提升你自己的情緒。例如，花一點錢幫助一個陌生人，比用同樣的錢款待自己更能讓你快樂得多。 當然，對你的一天進行 10 分鐘的回顧並不能創造奇蹟，曼恩強調，任何懷疑自己可能患有抑鬱症的人仍然應該去看醫生以獲得專業的醫療護理。但對於那些普遍感到情緒低落和壓力大、沒有嚴重臨床症狀的人來說，這可能只會幫助你回到正確的道路上。
