Summary of each paragraph - You should have something similar to what is written below. Since these summaries are for the purpose of understanding main ideas in each paragraph, you don't need to focus on putting them in your own words. I will be marking only to see if you have the main ideas. Do not include unnecessary details.

1. If you wake up in a bad mood, should you worry that your feelings might be passed on to your coworkers if you go to work?

2. Our brains are meant to socially interact with other people through "mirror neurons", which help us to sense the movement and feelings of other people and also imitate the movement and feel the same feeling the other person is feeling.

3. For example, laughter can be shared if one person laughs out loud, the other person is likely to start laughing as well.

4. We can tell what people are feeling by reading their facial expressions.

5. Making certain facial expressions can affect our mood. For example, if we put on a smile, even though we are not actually happy, we will start to feel better.

6. If a person who is in a bad mood goes to work, he may feel better if the coworkers are happy because the mood will "transfer" to him.

7. However, if the coworkers are negative, it is possible that the bad mood has already been passed on to him from his coworkers. In that case, the person should look for another job, but he and people should also be considerate of how his feelings may impact other people's feelings.
