5．Planning a visit to the UK？Here we help with ways to cut your costs．
AVOID BIG EVENTS  Big sporting events，concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room．A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival （19 Oct．） cost£169.15 at Booking．com．A week later，the same room cost£118.15．
       If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid-or you're looking for a big event to pass your time-check out sites such as Whatsonwhen．com，which allow you to search for events in the UK by city，date and category．
STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train，you may want to find a good base close to the station，but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday．
       Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in．Booking two months in advance，the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was£95.95．A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was£75.75．And at Farringdon，a double room cost just£62.95．
LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London，Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune，especially at weekends and during big events．As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen．Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings．A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile，available for£420 for five days in late September，with room for four adults．
GET ON A BIKE London's‘Boris bikes'have attracted the most attention，but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace，saving you on public transport or car parking costs．
       Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle （casual members pay around£1.50 for two hours） and Cardiff （free for up to 30 minutes，or£5 per day）．（358 words）

5．A German study suggests that people who were too optimistic about their future actually faced greater risk of disability or death within 10 years than those pessimists who expected their future to be worse．
　　The paper，published this March in Psychology and Aging，examined health and welfare surveys from roughly 40，000 Germans between ages 18 and 96．The surveys were conducted every year from 1993 to 2003．
　　Survey respondents （受访者） were asked to estimate their present and future life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10，among other questions．
　　The researchers found that young adults （age 18 to 39）routinely overestimated their future life satisfaction，while middle-aged adults （age 40 to 64）more accurately predicted how they would feel in the future．Adults of 65 and older，however，were far more likely to underestimate their future life satisfaction．Not only did they feel more satisfied than they thought they would，the older pessimists seemed to suffer a lower ratio （比率） of disability and death for the study period．
"We observed that being too optimistic in predicting a better future than actually observed was associated with a greater risk of disability and a greater risk of death within the following decade，"wrote Frieder R．Lang，a professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg．
　　Lang and his colleagues believed that people who were pessimistic about their future may be more careful about their actions than people who expected a rosy future．
"Seeing a dark future may encourage positive evaluations of the actual self and may contribute to taking improved precautions （预防措施），"the authors wrote．
　　Surprisingly，compared with those in poor health or who had low incomes，respondents who enjoyed good health or income were associated with expecting a greater decline．Also，the researchers said that higher income was related to a greater risk of disability．
　　The authors of the study noted that there were limitations to their conclusions．Illness，medical treatment and personal loss could also have driven health outcomes．
　　However，the researchers said a pattern was clear．"We found that from early to late adulthood，individuals adapt their expectations of future life satisfaction from optimistic，to accurate，to pessimistic，"the authors concluded．

67．According to the study，who made the most accurate prediction of their future life satisfaction？B
A．Optimistic adults．
B．Middle-aged adults．
C．Adults in poor health．
D．Adults of lower income．
68．Pessimism may be positive in some way because it causes peopleC
A．to fully enjoy their present life　　                       
B．to estimate their contribution accurately
C．to take measures against potential risks　　            
D．to value health more highly than wealth
69．How do people of higher income see their future？A
A．They will earn less money．
B．They will become pessimistic．
C．They will suffer mental illness．
D．They will have less time to enjoy life．
70．What is the clear conclusion of the study？D

B．Good financial condition leads to good health．
C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes．

I am very excited about the summer opportunity with the Children's Museum of the Arts since I know that I can definitely make a positive contribution while doing what I love，teaching art to children．I will contact you in one week to discuss my candidacy（候选资格）and see ifyou have any questions about my education or experience．Thank you for your time and consideration．
