24、l Friends rescue in Pittsburgh in November 2017 as a transfer from a partner rescue organization. He was an immediate hit with everyone who met him. “Capone is a sweet, silly, outgoing, and loving dog who has so much passion for life,” Monique Serbu, the shelter coordinator（协调员）tells Treehugger. “He
25、s very intelligent learned quickly and is always eager to please. There were many staff and volunteers who developed a special bond with him.”But when adopters came into the shelter looking for a pet, no one left with Capone. “Unfortunately Capone seemed to have many features and criteria not in his
26、 favor the color of his fur, his age, he preferred to be the only pet in the household and no children,” Serbu says. “Capone also had some very specific behavioral and medical challenges and our dedicated team of staff and volunteers worked with him each day to ensure he was receiving the best possi

33、s can truly pay off.DImagine you made plans with a new friend to talk on the phone. You called but there was no answer-and you didnt get a call back. What happened?

34、eek and simply forgot to write down your appointment time. In social situations like this, our minds can produce various explanations, ranging from ones that are more understanding to ones that put blame to the other party.

However, this study does suggest the possibility that giving people the benefit of the doubt is a practice to improve our relationships and well-being. Dorota Jasielska, lead researcher of the study, suggests that we start by developing pos
37、itive and trusting social relationships. When we find ourselves surrounded by warmth and support, it can help us see the social world in a kinder light. Another important strategy is to have open and direct communication. Instead of letting your anxieties get worse, it may be better to simply talk t
38、o people about their confusing behavior. So the next time a friend cancels plans or forgets to text back, consider giving him the benefit of the doubt and waiting to hear his side of things before jumping to conclusions. Assuming others have good intentions will make the world seem like a friendlier

What is the attributional style?A. To show an understanding of ones mistake.B. To imagine a particular social situation.C. To find out th
40、e cause of social phenomena.D. To make assumptions on uncertain things.14. What can make us happier according to the study?A. Finding common interests with others.B. Making positive excuses for others.C. Improving social communication.D. Being friendly to others.15. What do the last two paragraphs m
