Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people’s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones ), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychologecal problems. However psychologists distinguish between“sound”and “noise”.“Sound”is measured physically in decibels.“Noise”cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intensity”depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear airplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not botered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically. Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones listening to music that they ecjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds that they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.

A.can not work better in a noisy situation

Peple waiting at an airport_________.A.enjoy hearing airplanes taking off and landing
B.are usually not troubled by the noise
C.can easily tell sound from noise
D.are often physically affected by the noise
People enjoy listenting to music________.A.though they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound in fact
B.because it does not have any negative effect
C.because they do not have to tolerate the noise around them
D.even though it is sometimes unpleasant hearing strange sounds

| "The age of melancholy" is how psychologist Daniel Goleman describes our age. People today experience more depression (feeling of sadness) than older generations, though the technological wonders help us every day. It might be because of them. Our lifestyles are increasingly driven by technology. Our days are filled with phones, computers and the Internet. There is a constant need to check for texts and emails, to update Facebook, MySpace and Linkedin profiles and to acquire the latest notebook or 3G cell phone. Are we being served by these technological wonders or have we become enslaved by them？ I study the psychology of technology, and it seems to me that we are sleepwalking into a world where technology is severely affecting our well-being. Technology can be hugely useful in the fast-paced modern living, butwe need to stop it from taking over. For many of us, it is becoming increasingly difficult to control the impulse to check our inbox yet again or see whether the headlines have changed since we looked last time. Our children are in a similar position. In many homes, the computer, with which we work and play, has become the centre of attention. How does this arise, and what is it doing to us？ People who place a high value on material goals are unhappier than those who are less materialistic. Our culture also Constantly reminds us that time is money. This indicates a need for total efficiency (效 率), which is the reason for us to allow laptop computers and mobile phones to blur the separation, between work and home. As one unhappy human resource manager in a high-tech company 'put it, "They gave me a mobile phone so they can own me 24 hours a day, and a potable computer, so my office is now with me all the time-I cannot break out of this. pressure." Sound familiar？ Psychologists generally believe that the lack of a clear separation between work and home greatly damages our relationships with loved ones. It also makes us quite likely to focus on the here and now at the expense of long-term goals. Modern society is in danger of exchanging standard of living for quality of life. We need ways to help recover those increasingly large parts of our lives that have been controlled by technology, to regain mastery over technology and learn to use it in a healthy and positive way. |
