A. As the researchers hypothesized, participants who were feeling blue were more likely to respond to and express a preference for familiar patterns, whereas more cheerful participants displayed no preference for familiar over previously unseen patterns. That is, happy participants still appreciated the familiar--in some instances, even more passionately than those in a bad mood--but their mood also boosted positive reactions to new things. As the authors put it, if desire for the familiar can be expressed as a "warm glow of familiarity," then perhaps good mood casts a similar ray of sunshine on the new, creating a "warm glow of novelty."
B. Other theorists have suggested that the value of familiarity is more relative and contextual. That is, a familiar face is more appearing in situations of danger or disorientation--running into a hometown neighbor while wandering around an unknown city might evoke a "warm glow," while bumping into that sam

| When researchers come up with a new
treatment that makes us feel or work better, it’s usually not just the truly
sick who end up going in for an upgrade. The progress in developing treatments
for illnesses that ravage memory and thought raises an important question: might
the same tools be used to improve the functioning of minds that by most
standards are already running fairly smoothly We may well be approaching an era
of designer brains, in which those of us feeling a little foggy or dull can have
our IQ, fast recall, and self-confidence inflated up via the prescription pad.
"Some brain-related conditions we think of as ordinary, "says one researcher,
"may eventually become disorders, too"—including perhaps less-than-razor-sharp
thinking. The notion of a prescription IQ lift is hardly new. According to polls, about one in 2 A. It effectively cures attention-deficit disorder and narcolepsy. B.

[单项选择]It has been hypothesized that much of the matter in the universe is "dark," i.e., unseen. Studies have shown that galaxies in many galaxy clusters are moving faster with respect to one another than they would if visible stars constituted all their mass. The studies suggest that the galaxies are moving under the gravitational influence of unseen mass in considerable quantity.
Which of the following is an assumption underlying the passage above A. Measurements of the speed of moving galaxies are extremely unreliable. B. The workings of gravitational forces are not particularly well understood. C. The aggregate mass of visible stars in the galaxies mentioned above can be estimated with some confidence. D. The general composition of unseen matter in the universe has been determined. E. (E) Without exception, the galaxies mentioned above move toward one another. [填空题]
