20、阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Our most commonly held code for success is broken. Conventional wisdom(普遍看法) holds that if we work hard we will be more successful, and if we are more successful, then we'll be happy. If we can just find that great job, win that next promotion, lose those five pounds, happiness will follow. But recent discoveries in the field of positive psychology have shown that this code is actually backward: Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, and productive at work. These discoveries have been repeatedly proved by rigid research in psychology and neuroscience (神经科学), management studies, and the bottom lines of organizations around the globe.
In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor, who spent over a decade living, researching, and lecturing at Harvard University, draws on his own research—including one of the largest studies of happiness and potential at Harvard and others at companies like UBS to fix this broken code. Using stories and case studies from his work with CEOs of Fortune 500 in 42 countries, Achor explains how we can reprogram our brains to become more positive in order to gain a competitive ability at work.
Based on seven practical, actionable principles that have been tried and tested everywhere from classrooms to boardrooms, stretching from Argentina to Zimbabwe, he shows us how we can capitalize on The Happiness Advantage to improve our performance and maximize our potential.
A must-read for everyone trying to stand out in a world of increasing workloads and stress, The Happiness Advantage isn't only about how to become happier at work. It's about how to get the benefits of a happier and more positive mode of thinking to achieve the extraordinary in our work and in our lives.
(1)、What do we know about the new discoveries in Paragraph 1?A、Positive psychology is really backward. B、Happiness contributes greatly to success. C、Conventional code for success is totally useless. D、The more we are successful, the happier we are.(2)、Why did Shawn Achor write the book The Happiness Advantage?A、To study stories and cases of CEOs. B、To make lectures at Harvard University. C、To reprogram one's brain to be healthier. D、To make people more positive and competitive.(3)、The underlined phrase "capitalize on" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to____.A、in search of B、stand out for C、make use of D、provide fund for(4)、What is the write's purpose of writing the passage?A、To strongly recommend the book. B、To help people stand out in the world. C、To arouse people's sense of happiness. D、To help people decrease the work stress
