　　the book that will open our mind to new knowledge．Any day we wish；we can start a new activity．Any day we wish；we can start the process of life change．We can do it immediately，or next week，or next month，or next year．

　　We can also do nothing．We can pretend rather than perform．And if the idea of having to

　　change ourselves makes us uncomfortable，we can remain as we are．We can choose rest over labor，entertainment over education，delusion(幻想)over truth，and doubt over confidence．The choices are ours to make．But while we complain about the effect，we continue to nourish(助长)the cause．

　　As Shakespeare uniquely observed，“The fault is not in the stars，but in ourselves．’’We created our circumstances by our past choices．We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today．

　　We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works

　　out．And then we must make the very choices that will bring life，happiness and joy into our daily

　　lives .

　　And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to

　　make changes in their life—If you don’t like how things are，change it !You’re not a tree．

　　Expecting good things can make you healthier and might even lengthen your life, says researcher Suzaane Segerstrom, PhD, author of Breaking Murphy’s Law. Segerstrom is coauthor of a recent review of studies on the benefits of a positive attitude---and has experienced them herself. We asked her about optimism’s principles and payoffs.

　　l) Feeling well helps when you’re not well.

　　“When researchers look at people who have similar medical conditions, they can predict who’s likely to live longer: the one who feels his health is better. There’s something about that feeling of wellness that’s important, even--maybe especially--if you’re ill. Optimism also seems to help buffer (减缓) you against stress. I’ve been studying first-year law students for 16 years. That’s a very stressed group, but in my most recent study, each time a student’s optimism increased one point on a five-point scale, his immune (免疫性的) response to an injected virus or yeast improved by 20 percent.”

　　2) Optimism is something you do.

　　“Anxiety and other negative emotions are known to be detri-mental to the body, especially to your cardiovascular and immune systems (心血管和免疫系统), and having an optimistic nature seems to protect against those effects.

　　In addition, research shows that people who axe optimistic about their future behave differently. They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet. And if they get sick, they’re more likely to actively participate in their treatment. I’ve seen that myself--I have back pain from arthritis, but I think my willingness to do whatever it takes has helped a lot.”

　　3) Not happy? Don’t worry.

　　“Happiness is a feeling; optimism is a belief that aspects of your future will turn out well. Happiness can fluctuate (波动) a lot, but an optimistic disposition (性格) is usually pretty stable. If you’re not optimistic, you can try creating a ‘positive events’ log. Good filings happen to everyone, but pessimists often don’t take notice; spending a few minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often. Or instead of trying to be optimistic, do what optimists do: Work hard to reach your goals. Each accomplishment should make it easier to be hopeful about the next one.”

　　12. The main finding of the study done by 8uzanae Segerstrom is ________.

　　A. people will benefit from their positive attitudes towards life

　　B. anyone who feels his health is better lives longer

　　C. people who are optimistic about their future behave differently

　　D. happiness usually results in a bright future

　　13. What conclusion did Suzanne Segerstrom draw from her studies on her fast-year law students?

　　A. The better medical care they enjoy, the longer they will live.

　　B. The younger they arc, the stronger they will be.

　　C. The more optimistic they am, the less likely they will get ill.

　　D. The better they feel, the more rapidly they will recover from illness.

　　14. We learn from the passage that optimistic people __________.

　　A. are easy to give up smoking

　　B. are willing to do whatever they are asked

　　C. take an active part in all aspects

　　D. tend to have a better life style

　　15. What are you advised to do according to the passage?

　　A. Take exercise as much as you can.

　　B. Keep a daily note of positive things.

　　C. Work hard and play hard.

　　D. Make your goals easy to reach.

　　’s a guy like me in every state and federal prison in America，I guess—I’m the guy who

　　can get these for you：cigarettes，a bag of cigar，if you want that，a bottle of wine to celebrate your

　　I was young，good—looking，and from the poor side of town．I met a pretty，headstrong girl who lived in one of the fine old houses on Carbine Street．She got pregnant later．Her father was

　　agreeable to the marriage if 1 would take a job in the company he owned and ‘work my way up’．I

　　found out that what he really had in mind was keeping me in his house and under his thumb，like a

　　disagreeable pet that has not quite been housebroken and which may bite．Enough hate eventually

　　piled up to cause me to do what I did．

　　Given a second chance 1 would not do it again，but I'm not sure that means I am transformed．

　　The Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings which are replayed from our own childhood.

　　Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmother’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back.

　　The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we may meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves.

　　Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen.

　　The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. They are concepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions.

　　1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to _____.

　　A. prove the Child ego state is negative

　　B. explain why we become nervous

　　C. support the idea in Paragraph 1

　　D. introduce the point of Paragraph 3

　　2. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________.

　　A. blame ourselves

　　B. avoid stress

　　C. keep up with everything

　　D. accept challenges

　　3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________.

　　A. exists in one’s childhood

　　B. shows one’s wisdom

　　C. limits one’s thoughts

　　D. influences one’s actions

　　4. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to __________.

　　A. “I want some fun”

　　B. “My Child wants some fun”

　　C. the Child ego state

　　D. structural analysis
