Read the following text for obtaining its information:

One day you feel good and the next you feel bad, and betw een
those two poles are com pressed all the joys of heaven and the
an guish of hell. The events that prom pt feelings, the
justification for the feelings, even the reality of the perceptions
that lead to them are all unim portant. It is the feeling that counts.
Despite its importance, there is an incredible am ount of confu sion
about feelings and emotions in both the m inds of the public and
the attention of the "experts". "Emotion" is the general term
which encom passes the feeling tone, the biophysiological
state, and even the chemical changes we are beginning to
understand underline the sensations we experience; "feeling" is
our subjec tive awareness of our own emotional state. It is that
which we ex perience; that which we know about our current em
otional condi tion.
Feelings, particularly the complex and subtle range of feelings in
hum an beings, are testam ent to our capacity for choice and
learn ing. Feelings are the instrum ents of rationality, not — as
some would have it — alternatives to it. Because we are
intelligent crea tures, we are capable of, and dependent on,
using rational choice to decide our futures. Feelings becom e
guides to that choice. W e are rujt just passive responders, as
some lower life forms are, to that which the environm ent offers
us. W e can avoid certain conditions, select out others, and
anticipate both and, moreover, via anticipa tion we can even
modify the nature of the environm ent. Feelings are fine tunings
directing the ways in which we will m eet and m anipu late our
environment.
201
Feelings of anxiety, boredom, tension and agitation alert us to the
sense of som ething wrong, and, more importantly, by the subtle
distinctions of their m essages they indicate som ething of the
nature of the im pending danger and direct us to specific kinds of
adaptive m anoeuvres to avoid, prevent, or change the incipient
threat. Feel ings of guilt allow us to m odel our behaviour against
certain ideals and register when we have moved away from these
ideals, or have not yet achieved them. If there is a common
ingredient to the vari ous sources and forms of pleasure, the only
one that can be identi fied is that they all seem to contribute to an
enhanced sense of self. Pleasurable events either intensify our sense
of ourselves or enlarge our view of ourselves. Joy stem s from an
altered sense of self and, in turn, alters our view of our world and the
way we are viewed.

Answer the following questions:

1. How do you understand the statem ent "it is the feeling that
counts"? 2. W hy is it difficult to classify sensations and what
terms are suggested in this article? 3. How does "emotion" differ
from "feeling"? 4. Do you agree that feelings are "the instrum ents
of ra tionality, not alternatives to it" ? 5. How do feelings of anxiety,
bore dom, tension and agitation serve adoptive purposes? 6. Of
what im portance are feelings of guilt? 7. W hat do the positive
feelings have
in common? 8. How do pleasurable events affect our feelings?

Summarize the text in two paragraphs emphasizing the importance of

emotions and feelings in our life.

Use the Topical Vocabulary in answering the questions:

1. W hy do people have emotions and feelings? W hat good are they?

2. W hat em otions and feelings are usually classified as posi tive
and negative? Is there a strict border line betw een them?
If you have a look at the topical vocabulary list, you'll notice that it
deals with painful feelings and emotions rather than joyous ones.
How can you account for it? 4. The first and simplest pleasure is
the pleasure of our senses. How can you illustrate the joys of taste,
smells, sounds, and sights? 5. There are various sources of pleasure
such as discovery, the immersion of ourselves in an activity, con
frontation with nature and the thrill one gets in all cooperative ef
 fort, to m ention but a few. W hich of these gives you the most joy
ous experience? 6. It isn 't always easy for us to keep our tem per
w hen things go wrong. W hat do you do or say to let off steam?
