believes in a positive future. Both believe in something that has not yet happened. So I ask you, if
neither the positive nor negative future has happened yet then why not choose to believe in the positive
future?
I believe during these challenging times we have a choice between two roads: the positive road
and the negative road. And our bus can't be on two roads at the same time. So we have to make a
choice and this choice determines our belief about the future and the attitude and actions we bring
to the present.
I'm not saying we shouldn't have any fear. There are times when fear is a gift. A healthy dose(剂量)
of fear causes us to examine our situation and plan for the future. It moves us to smell the cheese and
expect change. When used wisely it allows us to manage risk and make better decisions. Some fear
is good.
However, what I have observed lately is a supersized, huge dose of fear that is spreading the
hearts and minds of far too many people. This oversized fear is causing leaders and their organizations
to either act unreasonably or to not act at all. They are either hurrying in a million different directions
because of fear. In both cases, fear is leading them to take the negative road to failure.
The answer is the positive road paved (铺满) with faith and a belief that your best days are not
behind you but ahead of you. With this belief you make the right choices and actions today that will
create your positive future tomorrow. You stay calm, focused and committed to your purpose. You
look for ways to save money and cut costs without making unreasonable fear-based decisions that
sacrifice your future success. You identify opportunities in the midst of the challenges and you focus
on solutions instead of problems.
Your faith and belief in a positive future leads to powerful actions today. The future has not
happened yet and you have a say in what it looks like by the way you think and act. Fear or Faith.
The choice is yours.
B. both Fear and Faith trust something in the future
C. neither negative nor positive future will happen
D. people usually choose to believe in the positive future

Do you have a sore throat, a running nose and a headache? Do you keep coughing and sneezing? If you do, the chances are that you have a cold or perhaps flu---but which one? Although both colds and flu are caused by viruses, they are very different illnesses.
Colds, which usually last about a week, affect the nose most. They commonly cause a running nose and sneezing. Sometimes, they cause a headache, a cough and slightly aching muscles.
Flu is a much more serious illness and is caused by different groups of viruses. People with flu usually get all the symptoms(症状) described above. However, they also get a high fever, a dry cough and much worse aching. Fever is one of the characteristic symptoms of the flu for all ages. The symptoms also last much longer. Sometimes they don’t disappear for at least two weeks.
Flu can be a deadly disease. The elderly(年长的), who are weaker and less healthy than most younger people, can die from flu. This is one reason why old people are advised to have a flu injection(预防针) before the start of winter when flu is most common. This injection is inexpensive and definitely(明显地)worth it.
If you have a cold or flu, you must always deal with used tissues(手巾纸) carefully. Don’t leave dirty tissues on your desk or on the floor. Someone else has to pick these up and viruses could be passed on. And finally, remember to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze! You don’t want to see the small drops of liquids blown(喷) out of your nose and mouth when you sneeze, do you? Disgusting(令人作呕), eh? Now you can understand why it’s a good idea to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze!
