参考答案A

解析:Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I feel honored to introduce our speaker for today's lecture, Dr.Mike Wood.Dr.Wood, Professor of Psychology at Duke University, has written numerous articles and books on the issueof happiness, (16) which seems to be common but actually is the most realistic issue.Welcome, Dr.Wood.Dr.Wood:
Some people think if you are happy, you are blind to reality.But when we research it, happiness actuallyraises every single business and educational outcome for the brain.How did we miss this? Why do we havethese societal misunderstandings about happiness? Because we assumed you were average.
When we study people, scientists are often interested in what the average is.If we study what is merely average, we will remain merely average.
Many people think happiness is genetic.That's only half the story, because the average person does notfight their genes.When we stop studying the average and begin researching positive outliers--people Who areabove average for a positive dimension like optimism or intelligence--a wildly different picture emerges.(17) Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success.
Scientifically, happiness is a choice.It is a choice about where your single processor brain will devote itsfinite resources as you process the world.(18) If you scan for the negative first, your brain literally has noresources left over to see the things you are grateful for or the meaning embedded in your work.But if youscan the world for the positive, you start to reap an amazing advantage.
Now that there is research validity to these claims, the working world is starting to take notice.In January,I wrote the cover story for the Harvard Business Review magazine on "Happiness Leads to Profits." Based onmy article called "Positive Intelligence" and my research in The Happiness Advantage, I outlined our researchedconclusinn: the single greatest advantage in the modem economy is a happy and engaged workforce.
(19) A decade of research in the business world proves that happiness raises nearly every business andeducational outcome: raising sales by 37% , productivity by 31% , and accuracy on tasks by 19% , as well as amyriad of health and quality-of-life improvements.
Given the unprecedented level of unhappiness at companies and the direct link between happiness andbusiness outcomes, the question is NOT whether happiness should matter to companies.Given this research,it clearly should.The first question is: What can I do in my own life to reap the advantage of happiness?
Training your brain to be positive at work is just like training your muscles at the gym.Sounds simple,right? Well, think about how easy it is to make yourself go to the gym.The key with any new resolution is to make it a habit.New research on neuroplasti city--the ability of the brain to change even as an adult reveals that moderate actions can rewire the brain as you create "life habits".
In The Happiness Advantage, I challenge you to do one brief positive exercise every day for 21 days.Only
through behavioral change can information become transformation.
Does it work? How about next time when we meet again, you tell me the answer.Thank you!
What does the introduction part say about the issue of happiness?
A.【精解】根据定位旬可知，主持人说快乐这个话题看似普通，但其实很现实，故答案为A.
