题目内容
5.Life is never smooth.It's full of ups and downs,some hard times,some glad moments,and sometimes just nothing.So everyone should balance and accept all the ups and downs in life.For this,a person must think positively,which gives a person energy,motivation,power and patience to live each day.Positive thinking means you decide to be happy even though facing problems.This makes you confident so that you can live happily.When you ask for positive and good things to occur in your life,you are thinking positively.Positive thinking is nothing but channelizing (疏导) your energies in one positive direction so that the things you wish for are attracted towards you.If you wish for something from your heart and work towards achieving it,sooner or later,you'll get it.
To make your life better,you have to train yourself to think positively in any situation.You can design some positive thinking affirmations (断言) for the things you desire in life.For example,if you want success in life,then a positive affirmation for success could be"I'm going to be successful because I'm working hard for it".You must call out,write,or remember positive affirmations at least a couple of times throughout the day and you'll see your life changing for better.
You can form a combination between positive affirmations and imagination.For example,if you wish for a happy family,imagine that you're happily playing with your kids and spouse (配偶) with your parents looking at you all with satisfaction.It'll immediately make you feel good.You can also repeat the affirmations every morning before going out and you would certainly feel positive.However,you must link your positive affirmations to actual daily actions,and they'll surely come true.

78.energetic,根据句子For this,a person must think positively,which gives a person energy,motivation,power and patience to live each day可知积极思考能让人保持充满活力的,因此使用形容词energetic"充满活力的"充当keep的宾语补足语.

81.attract,根据句子Positive thinking is nothing but channelizing (疏导) your energies in one positive direction so that the things you wish for are attracted towards you可知当你往积极的方面想,你就能吸引那些你所希望的事情,因此动词不定式to后接动词原形attract.

The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008.At that time,the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 22and 25.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies.But the people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men did.
The researchers also considered possible influence like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
So why would happiness increase with age?One theory is that,as people get older,they become more thankful for all that they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.In a study published this year,people in their eighties reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.
Researchers surveyed more than 150,000American adults.The study,led by Michael Grander at the University of Pennsylvania,appeared in the journal Sleep.
The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.The survey did find an increase during middle age,especially in women.But except for that,people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
