Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last
题型：不详难度：来源：
Hello. It’s one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last words we think to use as adults today. That’s unfortunate, because saying hello is more than just saying hello——it is recognition of another’s worth. How might the world change——how might we change——if we mastered this word? To find out, I spent one month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learned.
It can boost (促进) productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject, Allan All day, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University, had middle school teachers greet their students individually each morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kids’ productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that resulted in more class participation and better grades.
Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. My experience was similar. Whatever the reason, my urban hellos were answered far less often than my rural ones. Similarly, people in vacation spots were far friendlier than those hurrying work downtown.
It’s a form of universal health insurance. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, relieve stress and boost happiness. Apparently, a smile creates a similar effect in the recipient (接受者).
So maybe we can make the world a better place by____________. After a month of doing it, I feel lighter and I have a better sense of well-being.

The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂). __小题1:__ Separateness, according to psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
_小题2:____ It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between two kinds of love: B-love or “being love” means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent upon your own needs. D-love or “deficiency-love” is a selfish possessive love which is based upon someone else’s ability to satisfy your needs.
D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is unconditional. _小题3:__ Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow yourself to be known to the other person.
The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love._ 小题4:_ Symbiotic union is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow’s concept of D-love.
Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , “I love you because I need you,” but the mature one: “_小题5:_”| A．There are two types of love. | | B．I need you because I love you. | | C．Love is a way of overcoming the feeling | | D．Every one of us needs love. |
E. It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
F. They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.
G. These two types are quite different from each other. |
