31、as sharp as ever.These days, I am reading more and more about college students relying on pills to help with their concentration.

37、al on the “new pill” is _.Acarefully planned Bridiculous Centertaining DconvincingC New research by psychologists from Canada，Belgium, and the US suggests there is a lot of truth to the saying that “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”The findings say that new experiences that c
38、ontradict a first impression remain tied to the context in which they were made. As a result, the new experiences influence peoples reactions only in that particular context, while first impressions still dominate (处于主导地位) in other contexts.“Imagine you have a new colleague at work and your impressi
39、on of that person is not very good，” explains lead author Bertram Gawronski, Canada Research Chair at the University of Western Ontario.“A few weeks later，you meet your colleague at a party and you realize he is actually a very nice guy.”Although you know your first impression was wrong, according t
40、o Gawronski, your first reaction to your new colleague will be “influenced by your new experience only in contexts that are similar to the party.”“However, your first impression will still not change in all other contexts，” Gawronski says.To look further into first impressions, Gawronski and his col

Later in the study, participants were given new information about the same individual, information which contradicted the first information. To study the influence of con

They found the new information influenced participants reactions only in
43、situations like the one in which it was formed. Otherwise, participants reactions were still dominated by their first impression of the person set in the particular background.Although first impressions tend to last, Gawronski notes they can sometimes change. He explains that for this to happen the
44、first impression has to be challenged in a number of different contexts.According to Gawronski, the research may be helpful in the treatment of some disorders.Gawronski gives the example of someone with a fear of spiders. A psychologist could perhaps help the person by treating him or her in a numbe

63、 do this a lot to block out laughter or noise. An example of this would be to imagine yourself in a potentially stressful situation, like a singer in a concert.

72、version:How to Be Mentally HealthyMany of us students now have some mental problems, which worry us much and even have bad effects on both our studies and lives. Some students are so worried about exams and academic achievements that they cant fall asleep at night. As a result, they feel sleepy in t
73、he day time and cant concentrate in class. Others cant get along well with their parents or with their classmates. They always feel stressed and easily get angry. As a matter of fact, therere many ways for us to deal with our mental problems. First of all, we can turn to our teachers for help, inclu
74、ding our teacher of psychology. Secondly, communication is of vital importance. When we have a talk or discussion about our problems with our friends or classmates, we can feel greatly relieved. Lastly but not least, we need to develop a positive attitude towards our studies and our life. In my opinion,wearing a smile is not only a sign of friendliness but also a cure for bad feelings. I believe these methods will help us live and study happily.
