Former World’s Fattest Man Finds Love

He was once the world’s fattest man weighing in at an incredible 980 pounds and consuming 20,000 calories (卡路里) a day. But it seems that after losing 672 pounds following a surgery, it’s not just Paul Mason’s health that has a more promising     1    —his weight loss may have also promoted his love life.

Mr. Mason has only known his new girlfriend Rebecca for a month and the pair are yet to meet, but already   the 52-year old has     2     that Rebecca is the love of his life. The pair met online last month when Rebecca saw   a television     3     about Mr. Mason’s extreme fatness—the result of overeating when a previous relationship ended. She was so touched by his situation as to get in touch, keen to help Mr. Mason get the NHS (National Health Service) to pay for a second operation to     4     him of layers of extra skin.

Mr.   Mason said: “She didn’t really think of anything     5     at the beginning. It wasn’t until the second conversation that I realised there was more there than just friends. She felt the same and brought up the idea of us being boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Mr. Mason says that he doesn’t go for looks and finds Rebecca’s     6     attitude particularly attractive. “It is   her personality,   her     7     and passion that has made me fall for her. We share the same ideas and interests and she has made me look at life in a new way. For a long time I couldn’t really see light at the end of the tunnel, but since Rebecca’s been in my life I’ve got a whole new     8     of worth and excitement.”

Mr. Mason     9     to his incredible size by eating ten times the amount needed by a normal man due to a compulsive eating disorder. As his weight rose sharply he was left unable to stand or walk before finally becoming bed-ridden and being looked after full time by carers.

Firefighters had to knock down the front wall of his     10     home so they could use a fork lift truck to lift him out and put him into an ambulance when he needed an operation in 2002.

We’ve all turned to sad music to make us feel     1     (good)at some point in our lives, but why does doubling down on the sadness help drag us out of the mire(泥沼 )？

A new study sheds light on what’s going on inside our brains     2    we match our music to our feelings. It looks like sad music can be enjoyable -rather than     3    (simple) depressing- because it triggers positive memories that can help to lift our mood. Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there     4     (be)two groups of possible    5     (explain)for why we enjoy listening to sad music like this: one from social psychology, and one from cognitive neuroscience(认知神经学).

In terms of social psychology, one way of     6    (think) about this is that we feel much better about     7     (we) if we focus on someone who’s doing even worse, a process known as downward social comparison. Everything’s going to be okay, because this person     8    (have) an even worse day than you are.

Another theory from social psychology is that people like to listen     9     music that mirrors the tone of their current life circumstances -the songs act as     10    sort of tuning fork(音叉) for our own situations and they resonate(共鸣) with us.
