A few days after registration(注册)openedat Yale for Psyc 157, that is, Psychology and the Good Lie, roughly 300students had signed up. Within three days, the figure had more than doubled.After three more days, about 1200 students, or nearly one-fourth of Yalestudents, were registered, making it the most popular course in Yale’s 316-yearhistory.
The course, taught by LaurieSantos, a psychology professor, tries to teach students how to lead a happier,more satisfying life in twice-weekly lectures.
“In reality, a number ofstudents are anxious, stressed and numb, adopting harmful life habits that ledto mental health problems. They want to change, to be happier themselves, andto change the high-stress campus culture, “Dr. Santos said.” With onein four students at Yale taking it, if we see good habits, things like studentsshowing more gratitude, delaying less, increasing social connections, we’reactually seeding change in the school’s
high-stress culture.”
The course focuses both onpositive psychology─the characteristics that allow humans to be healthy andhappy─and behavioral change, or how to live by thoselessons in real life. Students must take quizzes, complete a midterm exam and,as their final assessmen t, conduct what Dr. Santos calls Hack Yo’Self Project, a personal self-improvement project.
Dr. Santos is not monitoringwhether students complete weekly assignments, like performing acts of kindnessand forming new social connections. But while others might see easy credits,Dr. Santos refers to her course as the “hardest class at Yale”.”To see real change in their life habits, students have to hold themselvesresponsible each day,” she said.
Dr. Santos has encouraged allstudents to register in the course, arguing that the things Yale students oftenconnect with life satisfaction such as a high grade or a good-paying job─do notincrease happiness at all. “We have this moment where we can make adifference in Yale’s culture, where students feel like they are part of amovement and fighting the good fight,” she said.
(1)What motivates students to attend the course Psyc 157?
A . Students expect to live a happier life.
B . Students hope to get mental health care.
C . Students want to get a good-paying job.
D . Students desire to experience Yale culture.
(2)What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A . Quizzes and exams.
B . Human characteristics.
C . The focus of the course.
D . The self-improvement project.
(3)Why did Dr. Santos consider Psyc 157 the hardest class at Yale?
A . Students have to pass a difficult exam.
B . Students must complete weekly assignments.
C . Students need to get a high grade for the course.
D . Students should take responsibility to change their life habits.
