If you feel sad or upset, remember not to watch a happy film. A sad film may be more suitable for you.
Some scientists at Ohio State University, US, have found that sad films can make people happier. They published their study in a magazine called Communication Research.
Scientists asked 361 college students to watch a sad film called Atonement. The film tells a story of two lovers who were separated. They died during World War Ⅱ at the end of the film. The 361 college students answered questions from the scientists before, after and three times during the film to find out their different feelings, including sadness.
According to the result of the survey, scientists found out that people felt better after watching the sad film. Scientists believed this was because the film made them think about their own lives and relationships. Compared with those of the unlucky lovers in the film, their lives were full of hope.
"I want to live my life to the fullest, and this film has made me think a lot," one student wrote.
Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, the leader of the study, explained that bad moods would make people more thoughtful. "Good moods are generally a sign that everything is fine. You don't have to worry, and you don't have to think about problems in your life," she said. "But bad emotions, like sadness, make you feel terrible about your situation. Therefore, seeing a sad film may make you feel bad, but that will cause you to think more about your own close relationships and value them more."

如果你感到悲伤或心烦，记住不要看喜剧电影。一部悲伤的电影可能更适合你。
美国俄亥俄州立大学的一些科学家发现，悲伤的电影能让人更快乐。他们在一本名为《传播学研究》的杂志上发表了他们的研究成果。
科学家们让361名大学生观看一部名为《赎罪》的悲伤电影。这部电影讲述了一对恋人分离的故事。在电影的结尾，他们在第二次世界大战中死去。这361名大学生在电影播放前、播放后以及播放过程中三次回答了科学家们的问题，以了解他们不同的感受，包括悲伤。
根据调查结果，科学家们发现人们在看完这部悲伤的电影后感觉更好了。科学家们认为这是因为这部电影让他们思考自己的生活和人际关系。与电影中不幸的恋人的生活相比，他们的生活充满了希望。
“我想充实地过好我的生活，这部电影让我思考了很多，”一名学生写道。
这项研究的负责人西尔维娅·诺布洛赫 - 韦斯特维克解释说，坏情绪会让人更有思想。“好心情通常是一切都好的信号。你不必担心，也不必思考生活中的问题，”她说。“但像悲伤这样的坏情绪会让你对你的处境感觉很糟糕。因此，看一部悲伤的电影可能会让你感觉不好，但这会让你更多地思考自己的亲密关系，并更加珍惜它们。”
（ ）1. 科学家们为什么让大学生观看《赎罪》？
A. 帮助他们交更多的朋友。
