Section B
Format 1: Short Answer Questions
Research form the University of Plymouth in English wondered whether mood might affect the way kids learn. To find out, they performed two learning experiments with children.
The first experiment enlisted 30 kids, aged 10 and 11. Each child was given 20 problems in which a triangle or houselike shape was hidden inside a different, larger image. The kids had to find the small shape while sitting in a room with either happy or sad classical music playing in the background.
As a measure of mood, the scientists asked the kids to point to one of five faces, ranging form happy to sad. Children listening to happy tended to point to the smiling faces, indicating that they are happy. Kids surrounded by sad tunes pointed instead to the frowns.
The researchers found that sad kids took at least a second less to find the small shapes. The sad kids also correctly identified an average of three or four more shapes.
In the second experiment, 61 children, aged 6 and 7, faced the same type of shapefinding problems. Instead of listening to different types of music, though, they watched one of three scenes form a film. One scene was happy. One was neutral. One was sad.
In this study, kid’s moods tended to reflect the scene they had seen. And just like in the first experiment, kid who felt sad or neutral performed better on the tests compared to happier kids. They solved an average of two or three more problem.
The research hypothesize（假設(shè)） that feeling down makes people more aware of details, perhaps because sadness makes us more likely to focus on a problem or difficult situation. Some studies suggest that mildly sad adults do better than happy ones on tests of memory, judgment and argument that involve attention to detail.
