13.Stay on the brighter side of lifeOne very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful.In fact,there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being.Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you're grateful for.(71)G
Feeling down?Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone,try acting like you're happy-even if you aren't.A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain,so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well.(72)D Reassure yourself that everything is good-even if you don't feel it.
"(73)C If you're stuck in traffic,then everything else must be going horribly too,"says Anne Parker,a wellness counselor.By blowing negative events out of proportion,you're setting yourself up for feeling down all day.Instead,acknowledge that you're stuck in traffic,but also bring to mind something good,like the beautiful scenery outside the window.That way,you'll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.
Swearing to lose 20pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness,but they take time to achieve.(74)F You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated.However,if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way,you will feel positive about your progress,which will give you the strength to keep going.
(75)B Try making someone else's day better.A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers.Plus,89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being,and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.

China may soon have its own"Ivy League",with a union of top universities.
The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US.The Chinese version,which was officially started in mid-October,consists of nine famous universities,including Peking,Tsinghua,Zhejiang and Fudan.The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs,recognition of academic achievements,and other joint programs.
The news of this Chinese"Ivy League"has received mixed responses from the public and press.Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them.Others say that the"Ivy League"is not necessary but that the union is a good idea,one that could promote academic development.
So what's your opinion on a Chinese"Ivy League"?Do we need one?
Yes.Ivy League or not,nine of China's best universities cooperating is a good thing.
1.These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research.It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.
2.Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons,improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities.The results could be more important than lessons and achievements.
3.The term"Ivy League"carries a sense of academic excellence,tradition and reputation.If borrowing such a term could encourage students'and professors'mental state and improve Chinese higher education,then there's no reason not to do it.
No.Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an"Ivy League"model.
1.Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other.If this cooperation were associated with the"Ivy League",it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.
2.These Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government.They're quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn't bring about as much potential ability as between,say,public and private,or Chinese and foreign universities.
3.China should find its own way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices.We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don't apply well here.
