2013年6月大学英语六级听力短文必备:Emotions
According to psychologists, an emotion is aroused when a man or animal view something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused, when we think something can help us.
An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions, but many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions, but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.
