①Everybody enjoys acts of kindness (善.举). But can you explain why? Some people think kindness is something out of love and care, while others believe it is just a tool to make us more popular. But research shows that being kind can activate (激活) an area of the brain called Striatum. Research also shows that kindness improves people's moods(情绪). But why and how does it happen? Here are a number of different ways.

②Firstly, being kind can make someone smile. If you see yourself smile in a situation, people around may be smiling too, especially for your close friends and family. A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. It can also make ourselves feel good.

③Secondly, being kind starts or develops a social connection with others. Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger. Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.

④ Thirdly, in another research, even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy. If one person is kind, he or she makes others in the group kind. It also lifts everyone's spirits.

⑤Lastly, the story doesn't end here. Being kind may improve your mood, but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood, you can act much more kindly. This makes it a wonderful two-way relationship, doesn't it?

How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a scientific reason for this. 

Researchers (研究者) are studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. "Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy (悦耳易记的) and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song," said Dr. Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog (博客), Dr. Ludke wrote "A listen—and—repeat singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future research in this area."

Many language teachers know the importance of music and they often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington DC, likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, "I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. Not only does it work, but it is fun for children. Sometimes I think if I learned English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better."

Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out?

①Why do we do the things we do? What drives our behavior? Researchers have suggested different ways of thinking about motivation (动机), including looking at whether motivation comes from outside or inside a person.

②Extrinsic (外来的) motivation is when you decide to do something because you want to get a reward or avoid punishment. Intrinsic (内在的) motivation is when you do something because you find it enjoyable. The behavior itself is its own reward.

③There are many advantages of intrinsic motivation. Firstly, it's lasting. It makes people willing to face challenges and work hard to achieve their goals. Besides, people with intrinsic motivation have a greater sense of satisfaction.

④Most people think intrinsic motivation is best, but it is not always possible in every situation. Sometimes a person has an unpleasant task and he may not have internal (内部的) wish to complete it. That's when we need extrinsic motivation. But studies have shown that offering too-many external (外部的) rewards can reduce (减少) intrinsic motivation. For example, in a study, children were playing with the toys they liked. When they were externally rewarded for their behavior, they became less interested in the toys.

⑤Both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation play a key role in learning. Experts have argued that traditional education pays too much attention to external rewards, such as grades. This undermines the intrinsic motivation that students might already have. However, others have suggested that extrinsic motivation can help students feel more knowledgeable in class. It helps to build up their intrinsic motivation.

⑥Understanding how each type of motivation works and when it is likely to be useful can help people complete tasks and improve their learning.
