Ⅳ.阅读理解
Would you be happier if you spent more time discussing the state of the world and the meaning of life—and less time talking about the weather?
It may sound counterintuitive，but people who spend more of their day having deep discussions and less time on small talk seem to be happier，said Matthias Mehl，a psychologist who published a study in PsychologicalScience.
“We found this so interesting，because it could have gone the other way—people usually believe that as long as you surf on the shallow (浅的) level of life you’re happy，and if you go into the depths (深度) you’ll be unhappy，〞 Dr.Mehl said.
But，he suggested，deep conversations seemed to hold the key to happiness for two main reasons：both because human beings are driven to find and create meaning in their lives，and because we are social animals who want and need to connect with other people.
“By making meaningful conversations，we manage to work out the meaning of this world，〞Dr.Mehl said.“And，as you find this meaning，you connect with your partner，and we know that interpersonal (人与人之间的) connection and communication is a basis of happiness.〞
The study involved 79 college students wearing an electronic recorder that recorded their conversation every 12.5 minutes for four days.
Researchers then went through the tapes and classified (分类) the conversation as small talk about the weather or having watched a TV show，and more meaningful talk about current affairs，philosophy，or the role of education.A conversation about a TV show wasn’t always considered small talk；it could be classified as deep if the speakers studied the characters.
The research found that about 45.9 percent of the day’s conversations the happiest person had were important and serious，while only 21.8 percent of the unhappiest person’s conversations were important and serious.Small talk made up only 10 percent of the happiest person’s conversations，while it made up almost three times as much of the unhappiest person’s conversations.
Next，Dr.Mehl wants to see if people can actually make themselves happier by having more deep conversations.

答案： B
It’s c ommon for new mothers to experience depression (抑郁) because of hormonal changes and lack of sleep after childbirth.But new research shows that depression after the arrival of a child isn’t limited to birth parents：adoptive (收养的) parents are also at risk of depression after bringing a child home.
Depression appears to be common among the two million couples in the United States who adopt children every year.A study of 39 adoptive mothers showed 15 percent were experiencing depression six weeks after the adoption.25 percent of parents had experienced depression before the child had arrived，which can be explained by the uncertainty and hopes that are common during the adoption process.
To find out more about what causes the adoptive parents to experience depression，a Purdue University professor，Karen J．Foli，who is also an adoptive parent，interviewed 21 parents who had adopted children from newborn to 12 years.
The research found that the depression experienced by adoptive parents often stemmed_from unmet or unrealistic expectations of the parenting experience.During the adoption process，parents put lots of efforts into proving they will be nice parents.After the adoption，some struggle with the fact that they aren’t the “superparents〞 they promised to be，Dr Foli said.
Adoptive parents also must cope with family members who don’t treat a new
adopted child the same way they treat other biological children in the family.
In addition，while birth parents often spend their time together as a couple and pay close attentio n to the mother’s health，adoptive parents have to do a large amount of scrutiny (审查)，paperwork and travel.Often，Dr Foli explained，they are simply tired by the time the child arrives.
