was right! if you say thank you, for even the smallest gift or slightest show of kindness, youll feel happy.gratitude, says robert a. emmons, a professor of psychology at the university of california, is an important element of happiness. in his recent book, thanks!, emmons uses the first major study on gratitude to prove moms point. in acknowledging and developing this much-ignored expression of thankfulness, he explains how people have benefited even improved their health.as one of the leading scholars of the positive psychology movement, he admits gratitude may be difficult to express. he advises you to begin by admitting that life is good and full of events and elements that make daily existence a wonder. second, recognize that the source of lifes goodness is more than just you. that source may be your mom, a friend, partner, child, colleague at work or play, or any combination of these.gratitude is always other-directed, notes emmons. you can be pleased or angry with yourself and feel guilty about doing something wrong, but you can never be grateful to or for yourself.expressing gratitude shouldnt be a reaction; it should be a state of mind. to feel grateful when life is a breeze and you have more than you need is easy. to feel grateful in time of crisis anger, hatred and bitterness is easier. also, too many people are aware of lifes blessings only after these are lost.its crisis and chaos danger, disease, disability and death that bring many individuals to realize just how dependent they are on others. yet its the way each of us begins life and ends it. its too bad that so many people waste those decades in between laboring under the illusion (幻覺) they are self-sufficient, says emmons.the abundance of voices expressing gratitude from his studies of individuals with health problems is many. but emmons goes beyond his “groundbreaking” science to make his case for gratitude by including the inspirational writings of philosophers, novelists and saints, as well as the beliefs of various religions and their respective scriptures (經(jīng)文). taken together, these observations are summed up quite nicely by famous humanist albert schweitzer, who said the secret of life is “giving thanks for everything.”to enable and embrace gratitude, emmons encourages the readers of thanks! to keep a gratitude diary. he even provides easy-to-follow directions on how to practise and develop gratitude.im not a reader or advocate of self-help books, but i am thankful for the reference i found in a newspaper article to the research emmons was conducting on gratitude involving organ givers and receivers. the chance discovery led me to this book.mom implied that kindness seems to find its way back to the giver because life really is all about giving, receiving and repaying. so ill pay attention to her professional advice and say: thank you, professor emmons.41. what is the text mainly discussed?a. there are many ways of being

that monitors students attention levels and follows the techniques human teachers use to hold their pupils attention promises to end the doze, especially for students who have their lessons online. tests indicate the robot can improve how much students remember from their lessons.intelligent tutoring systems that use virtual (虛擬的) teachers to interact with students could play a key role in the expanding field of online education. the trouble with online courses is that it is usually impossible to know whether the student is concentrating and engaging with the lesson. unlike virtual teachers, human teachers have a series of tricks for keeping their classes focused changing the tone of their voice, for example, or gesturing to emphasize points and engage with their audience. bilge mutlu and dan szafir at the university of wisconsin-madison wanted to find out whether a robot could use some of the same techniques to improve how much a student focuses.“we want to look at how learning happens in the real world.” says mutlu. “what do human teachers do and how can we draw on that to build an educational robot that achieves something similar?”the pair programmed a robot to tell students a story in a one-on-one situation and then tested them afterwards to see how much they had remembered. engagement levels were monitored using a $200 eeg sensor to monitor the fp1 area of the brain, which manages learning and concentration. when a significant decrease in certain brain signals indicated that the students attention level had fallen, the system sent a signal to the robot to produce a cue (提示). “we cant do it just at any given moment, we have to try and do it like human teachers do.” says mutlu.the robot teacher first told a short story about the animals that make up the chinese animal zodiac (生肖), in order to get a baseline eeg reading. next, the robot told a longer 10-minute story based on a little-known japanese folk tale called my lord bag of rice, which the student was unlikely to have heard before.during this story the robot raised its voice or used arm gestures to regain the students attention if the eeg levels dipped. these included pointing at itself or towards the listener or using its arms to indicate a high mountain, for example. two other groups were tested but the robot either gave no cues, or tested them randomly throughout the storytelling. afterwards, the students were asked a few questions about the chinese zodiac to distract (分散注意) them before being asked a series of questions about the folk tale.as the team had expected, the students who were given a cue by the robot when their attention was disappearing were much better at recalling the story than the other two groups, answering an average of 9 out of 14 questions correctly, as compared with just 6.3 when the robot gave no cues at all. the idea of regaining students attention in this way would have “significant meanings for the field of education”, says andrew ng, director of stanford universitys artificial intelligence lab. “one-on-one tutoring has been repeatedly shown to give notable results in student learning, but the main problem with it is the cost, and that its just difficult to measure,” ng says. “the imagining of automatically measuring student engagement so as to build a more interactive（互動的）teacher is very exciting.” 50. what does the author tell us in paragraph 2 about online education? a. it has trouble in monitoring the students. b. it plays
