• 32．An Epidemic （流行?。?of Depression？Seligman is leading the charge in what might be called Happiness Revolution in psychology.Since World War II，psychologists have focused on fixing what is broken — repairing psychosis （精神病），and neurosis （神經(jīng)衰弱）.Research has piled up steadily when it comes to looking at patients who are neurotic，while the happy or joyful people among us have received little scientific examination.
     When Seligman did a search to find academic articles about such "positive psychology"，he found only 800 out of 70，000. "Psychologists tend to be concerned with taking a negative 8 person，and helping him get to negative 2，" said Seligman，a University of Pennsylvania psychology professor. "My aim is to take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6"
     Seligman said. "Depression is 10 times more common now，and life satisfaction rates are down as well." Seligman argues that the new science he writes about is shifting psychology's model away from its narrow-minded focus on pathology （病理學(xué)），and mental illness towards positive emotion，virtue and strength，and positive institutions that increase people's happiness.If you want to be happy，forget about winning the lottery，getting a nose job，or securing a raise.In his new book，Authentic Happiness，psychologist Martin Seligman argues that overall lifetime happiness is not the result of good genes，money，or even luck.Instead，he says we can boost our own happiness by making use of the strengths and traits that we already have，including kindness，creativity，humor，optimism，and generosity.He has named the discipline "Positive Psychology"，arguing that we would be better off building on our own strengths rather than be moaning，and，hence，trying to repair our weaknesses.By frequently calling upon their strengths，people can build up natural barriers against misfortune and negative emotions，he said.
     To cultivate happiness，we must first find out our individual strengths and virtues.Next，apply the qualities in such a way as to enhance our happiness-generating system.
  
  （1）Why could Seligman's work be called Happiness Revolution？

  
  A．Because happy or joyful people among us also suffer from illness.
  B．Because psychology is the emotional characteristic of an individual.
  C．Because psychology is the science that deals with mental processes and behavior.
  D．Because traditional research on psychology rarely concerns happy or joyful people.
  （2）What does Seligman mean by saying "take a plus 2 person and boost him to a plus 6"？

  
  A．We should focus on happy or joyful people.
  B．The number of happy or joyful people will increase by 4.
  C．"Positive psychology" articles need to be published more.
  D．Happy people among us also need improve their mentality.
  （3）According to the passage，traditional opinion of psychology is

  .
  A．encouraging
  B．narrow-minded
  C．subjective
  D．optimistic
  （4）Martin Seligman argues that authentic happiness results from

  .
  A．good genes，money，or luck
  B．contented life
  C．positive mental status
  D．a(chǎn) good job
  （5）According to the passage，which of the statements might Martin Seligman support？

  
  A．Promotion leads to true happiness.
  B．We rely on our strengths for happiness.
  C．Intelligent people are usually more satisfied.
  D．Mental illness should be the focus of psychology.
  （6）The main topic of the passage is

  .
  A．how we can cultivate our happiness
  B．why material goods can't boost people
  C．why we should cultivate our happiness
  D．how complicated our happiness-generation system is
