14．A typical lion tamer （驯兽师） in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip （鞭子）and a chair．The whip get all of the attention，but it's mostly for show．In reality，it's the chair that does the important work．When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time．With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next．When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair．
How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve （eg．lose weight，start a business，travel more ）-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress？
This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information．The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving．
It doesn't have to be that way．Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this：All you need to do is focus on one thing．You just need to get started．Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people．If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become …．take immediate action．If you're clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out the way．
29．Why does the lion tamer use a chair？A
A．To trick the lion．
B．To show off his skill．
C．To get ready for a fight．
D．To entertain the audience．
30．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair？A
A．They feel puzzled over choices．
B．They hold on to the wrong things．
C．They find it hard to make changes．
D．They have to do something for show．
31．What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in paragraph 3？B
A．Tolerant
B．Doubtful
C．Respectful
D．Supportive
32．When the world is"waving a chair in your face"，you're advised toC．
A．wait for a better chance
B．break your old habits
C．make a quick decision
D．ask for clear guidance．

15．To be financially secure and spiritually pleased，a man who has an occupation ought to have two or three hobbies．It tends to make people laugh by saying："I will develop hobbies when I am retired．"Such a promise is like a bubble which will burst in the end，leaving pleasure forever beyond．On the other side，if a man is only interested in acquiring knowledge and abilities irrelevant to his daily work，it is also hard to get true pleasure in the long run．
Broadly speaking，hobbies for those who have jobs should be practical．For example，it is impractical for a construction worker，after a hard week's manual labor，to develop the interest of playing football on Saturday afternoon．It is also unlikely for a politician or a business man，who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days，to attend drama courses at the weekend．
It may also be said that laborers are divided into two classes：first，those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure； and secondly，those whose work is everything and pleasure just exists in work．The former are the majority．They have their compensations．The long hours in the office or the factory bring them money，not only as the means of livelihood，but as a driving force for pleasure beyond their work．But for the second class，the working hours are never long enough．Each day is enjoyed like a holiday，and when real holidays come，they see them as interruptions．To both classes，the need of changing the angle of viewing work and pleasure is essential．Those who find it hard to enjoy their work are not fully enjoying the world they live in．However，it is more urgent for those whose work is their all pleasure to drive the work occasionally off their minds and develop hobbies．

7．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 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 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 im proved 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，medi cal 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．
12．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．
13．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
14．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．
15．What is the clear conclusion of the study？D
A．Pessimism guarantees chances of survival．
B．Good financial condition leads to good health．
C．Medical treatment determines health outcomes．
D．Expectations of future life satisfaction decline with age．
