　　Section C -- Recording One

　　Let’s say you start to brain storm a list of all the emotions you ever
experienced. Just for fun, try it now.

　　What’s on your list? Chances are, you included things like: happy, sad,
excited, angry, afraid, grateful, proud, scared, confused, stressed, relaxed and
amazed. Now sort your list into two categories: positive emotions and negative
emotions.

　　Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being
human. We might use the word “negative” to describe more difficult emotions but
it does not mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn’t have them. Still, most
people were probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one. It’s
likely you prefer to feel happy instead of sad or confident instead of
insecure.

　　What matters is how our emotions are balanced. How much of each type of the
emotion positive or negative we experience.

　　Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal
with. For example, fear can alert us to possible danger, it’s a signal that we
might need to protect ourselves. Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping
on our toes, crossing a boundary or violating our trust. Anger can be a signal
that we might have to act on our own behalf.

　　Negative emotions focus our awareness. They help us to zero in on a problem
so we can deal with it. But too many negative emotions can make us feel
overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted or stressed out. When negative emotions are out
of balance, problems might seem too big to handle.

　　The more we dwell on our negative emotions, they more negative we begin to
feel. Focusing on negativity just keeps it going.

　　Positive emotions balance out negative ones, but they have other powerful
benefits, too. Instead of narrowing our focus, like negative emotions do,
positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness,
attention and memory. They help us take in more information, hold several ideas
in mind at once and understand how different ideas relate to each other.

　　When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities, we are more able to
learn and build on our skills. That leads to doing better on tasks and
tests.

　　People who have plenty of positive emotions in their everyday lives tend to
be happier, healthier, learn better and get along well with others.

　　Q16. What does the speaker say about negative emotions?

　　Q17.What happens to people whose negative emotions are out of balance?

　　Q18. How do positive emotions affect us?

　　Recording Two

　　In the past few months, I've been travelling for weeks at a time with only
one suitcase of clothes. One day, I was invited to an important event, and I
wanted to wear something special for it. I looked through my suitcase but
couldn't find anything to wear. I was lucky to be at the technology conference
then, and I had access to 3D printers. So I quickly designed a skirt on my
computer, and I loaded the file on the printer. It just printed the pieces
overnight. The next morning, I just took all the pieces, assembled them together
in my hotel room, and this is actually the skirt that I'm wearing right now.

　　So it wasn't the first time that I printed clothes. For my senior
collection at fashion design school, I decided to try and 3D print an entire
fashion collection from my home. The problem was that I barely knew anything
about 3D printing, and I had only nine months to figure out how to print five
fashionable looks.

　　I always felt most creative when I worked from home. I love experimenting
with new materials, and I always tried to develop new techniques to make the
most unique textiles for my fashion projects.

　　One summer break, I came here to New York for an internship at a fashion
house in Chinatown. We worked on two incredible dresses that were 3D printed.
They were amazing -- like you can see here. But I had a few problems with them.
They were made from hard plastics and that's why they were very breakable. The
models couldn't sit in them, and they even got scratched from the plastics under
their arms.

　　So now, the main challenge was to find the right material for printing
clothes with, I mean the material you feed the printer with. The breakthrough
came when I was introduced to Filaflex, which is a new kind of printing
material. It's strong, yet very flexible. And with it, I was able to print the
first garment, a red jacket that had the word "freedom" embedded into it. And
actually, you can easily download this jacket, and change the word to something
else. For example, your name or your sweetheart's name.

　　So I think in the future, materials will evolve, and they will look and
feel like fabrics we know today, like cotton or silk.

　　Q19. What does the speaker say about the skirt she is wearing now?

　　Q20. When did the speaker start experimenting with 3D printing?

　　Q21. What was the problem with the material the speaker worked on at a New
York fashion house?

　　Q22. What does the speaker say about Filaflex?
