阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题 (请注意问题后的字数要求)
[1] As well as increasing memory, being sad makes people less likely to be tricked and improves their ability to judge others，according to an Australian study．
[2] The study, authored by professor Joseph Foegas at the University of New South Wales，shows that people in a negative mood paid more attention to their surroundings than ,
who were more likely to believe anything they were told．“While positive moods seem to promote creativity, flexibility, and cooperation，negative moods cause more attentive，careful thinking，paying greater attention to the outside world．”writes Forgas in Australasian Science．
[3] “Our research suggests that sadness promotes information processing strategies best fit for dealing with more demanding situations．”
[4] For the study, Forgas and his team conducted several experiments that started with making their subjects (实验对象) experience happy or sad moods by making them watch films and by recalling positive or negative events．
[5] In one of the experiments, happy and sad participants were asked to judge the truth of some urban myths (神话) and found that people in a negative mood were less likely to believe these statements. People in a bad mood were also less likely to make mistakes when asked to recall an event that they witnessed．
[6] The study also found that sad people were better at stating their case through written arguments．Thus, it showed that a reasonably negative mood may actually promote a more concrete, harmonious and successful communication style
[7] “Positive moods are not universally desirable．People in a negative mood are less likely to make judgmental errors and more resistant (抵制的) to eyewitness misunderstandings．”said Forgas．

Each new school year brings fresh reminders of what educators call the summer learning gap．Some call it the summer learning setback Put simply, it means the longer kids are out of school，the more they forget．The only thing they might gain is weight．
Most American schools follow a tradltional nine-month calendar with winter and spring breaks and about ten weeks of summer vacation．Some schools follow a year-round calendar. They hold classes ror about eight weeks at a time，with a few weeks off in between．The National Association for Year-Round Education says there were fewer than 3,000 such schools at last count．They were spread among forty-six of the tifty states．
But many experts point out that the number of class days in a year-round school is generally the same as in a traditional school．Brenda McLaugblin is research director at the National Center for Summer Learning at Johns Hopkins University．She says studies of year-round schooling have not found strong learning gains．Lead researcher Paul von Hippel said，“Year-round schools don’t really solve the problem of the summer learning setback．They simply spread it out across the year．”
Across the country, research shows that students from poor families fall farther behind over the summler than other students．Experts say this can be prevented．They note that many schools and local governments offer programs that can help．
But calling them“summer school”could be a problem．The director of the summer learning center at Johns Hopkins, Ron Fairchild, said research with groups of different parents in Chicago and Baltimore found that almost all strongly disliked the term“summer school”．In American culture，the idea of summer vacation is connected to beliefs about freedom and the joys of childhood．The parents welcomed other terms like“summer camp。”“extra time”and“hands-on learning．”
