One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than snowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology(精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything.

Researchers have found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a reduction of hormone(荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if

you must begin by forcing yourself to be positive, it will become contagious and the positive thoughts will produce nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.

For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you "don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can make thoughts alive, and thoughts can do it, too. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career purposes than your own attitude.

It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant(好战的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This important key to success is totally within your control. Use it.

Happiness, rather than working hard, is the key to success, according to research published yesterday. Cheerfu1 peop1e are more 1ikely to try new things and challenge（wk战） themselves， which strengthens their good emotion and leads to success in work，good relationships and strong health，say psychologists（心理学家）.

The findings suggest that happiness is not a “ feel-good” luxury（奢侈品），but is necessary for people’s well-being. What is more, happiness can also reach an entire nation，with people in” happy” nations being more likely to help others.

The link between happiness and success was studied by a team from the University of California Riverside，led by Professor Sonja Lyubomirsky.

First, they examined questionnaires that ask peop1e about their 1ives. “ For example, they show that happy people are likely to earn higher incomes” said Lyubomirsky. Having established the link，they wanted to discover the cause.

“Almost always it has been taken for granted that things that connect closely to happiness are the causes of happiness，but it could be just the opposite that those things are likely to be caused by happiness，” said Professor Ed Diener from the University of Illinois，another author on the paper.

“ There was strong evidence that happiness leads people to be more sociable，more generous and more productive at work，to make more money，and to have stronger immune（免疫）systems，”said Lyubomirsky.

The research shows that while success can put a spring in someone’s step，peop1e need happiness in the first place to achieve success.

According to the study， around 4 out of 5 people in modern industrialized nations arc happy at any one time.

Success was not just about earning lots of money. “ We describe success as having the things that culture or society values，whether it be friends，close family, money and income，or long life，”said Diener.

However，sorrowful people arc not predetermined to lead a life of failure.

In this passage，which of the following viewpoints does Professor Lyubomirsky state？

A. People in less happy countries are more likely to help others.

B. Things connected to happiness are brought about by happiness.

C. Happiness results in richer and healthier people.

D. Success means possessing things that a cu1ture or society thinks highly of.

The underlined phrase “ put a spring in someone’s step” means .

A. put you in good spirits B. put spring water on your feet

C. have a pleasant walk in spring D. step into a cheerful spring

A. People arc happy because they earn more money.

B. People earn more money because they are happy.

C. Working hard is important for being successful.

D. We can do whatever we like as 1ong as we feel happy.
