Imagine there is a glass on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass? "Half full or half empty?"

If you say half full, you might be an optimist. If you say half empty, you might be the opposite - a pessimist.

Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or to life in general. And your attitude about life may be more important to living than you think.

A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect your health. People who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic.

Researchers at Harvard University's School of Public Health in Boston did the study. They compared women with "a general expectation that good things will happen" to women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer, heart disease and certain types of infection.

Eric Kim is one of the study leaders. He says there is increasing evidence that strengthening psychological (心理的) resilience may help prevent disease. Kim says that these new findings suggest that people should make efforts to increase their resilience and optimism. He says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty. Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.

However, the researchers say that healthy behaviors of optimistic people only partly explain the connection with reduced risk of disease.

For the study, researchers looked at information gathered on 70,000 women in the Nurse's Health Study. This massive study began in 1975. It collects health information on those involved in the study every two years. The Harvard researchers looked at the level of optimism of the women, as well as other factors such as race, diet, physical activity level and overall health. They found the most optimistic women had nearly a 30 percent lower risk of dying from disease.

Kaitlin Hagan, another study leader, says earlier studies show that a person can use simple, low-cost methods to increase optimism. For example, thinking about and writing down the best possible outcomes for areas of their lives, like their careers or relationships.

Leslie Ralph, a clinical psychologist and counselor, has several ideas about how to increase optimism. She says each night you might plan to do two or three simple, enjoyable activities the next day, such as watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child. And the counselor adds offering praise or support to someone can also improve your own outlook. A smile and "thank you" from another person may help you feel more optimistic.

1.What do we know from the passage?

A.Relations lie among optimism, pessimism and a glass of water.

B.Good expectations increase risk of dying from disease.

C.An optimist is more likely to live healthily.

D.Supporting someone may receive praise of a pessimist.

2.What does the underlined word "resilience" mean in Paragraph 6?

A.The ability to recover from difficulty or change. B.A way of thinking and reacting to things.

C.Factors that influence one's health. D.The ability to experience the sense of touching body.

3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.To Be Optimistic or Pessimistic B.To Look on the Bright Side or the Opposite

C.Increasing Optimism Keeps You More Active D.Looking on the Bright Side Might Help You Live Longer

The wind tried pushing Colin to the ground. It felt as if Colin’s news-bag was full of potatoes.

Maybe it had to do with the news Dad read before Colin left. The morning headlines（標(biāo)題）were full of the usual sad stories.

“No good news again!” Dad said.

Car accidents! House burns! Storm damage（損害）!

Colin moved quickly from house to house leaving papers in the mailbox. He wished he could bring only good news to his family, also to his friendly neighbours. “How could I make things better for everyone?” he wondered.

Colin noticed Alice coming. She only had one real eye. The other was made of glass. He liked Alice even if many others laughed at her. He didn’t realize how much it helped her, having a friend like Colin.

Each time Colin left a paper by a customer’s door, he thought, “How could I make some good news?”

Colin gave his usual cheerful “Hi” to everyone on his way. His smile was like the rising sun.

Someone was crying and he ran to where a little boy had fallen and hurt his leg. Colin calmed him down until the boy’s mother arrived.

“I’m glad you’re my paperboy,” she told Colin.

He continued on his way, but he didn’t feel tired. It was fun doing what he usually did—helping others.

He raced up the street to his last customer. Mrs. Williams saw Colin coming and had peanut butter cookies as a treat for her favourite paperboy. She wondered why such a lively boy always had time to chat with an old lady.

Colin’s own treat for his customers came from his heart. He did have much good news to share, even if he didn’t realize it. His smile and polite manners brought cheering-up news to all his customers.

1.What was Colin’s trouble?

A. His news-bag was too heavy.

B. He had heard of many sad stories.

C. His dad didn’t like his job as a paperboy.

D. He couldn’t bring good news to his customers.

2.Why did Mrs. Williams think Colin was her favourite boy?

A. Because he would always like to chat with her.

B. Because he liked her peanut butter cookies.

C. Because he didn’t bring bad news to her.

D. Because he always sent papers to her as fast as he could.

3.What was Colin’s treat for his customers?

A. His smile and polite manners. B. His papers full of good news.

C. His honesty and happiness. D. His confidence and friendship.

4.What’s the best title of this passage?

A. No news is good news

B. How paperboys work

C. The boring job as a paperboy

D. A sunny paperboy
