Question

A couple of years ago, a minister(牧师) in an American church got fed up with listening to the people in his church complaining. They were complaining about little1: the service(礼拜仪式) was too long, the service was too short; they didn’t like the choice of2they had to sing in church. He felt all this complaining was3everyone feel negative. So, he4to do something about it.
He gave the people in his church a(n)5: try to stop complaining for641 .And not just about the church, about everything! He7gave each person in the church a purple bracelet(手镯) to wear on their wrists. The bracelet was to8them not to complain.9, after three weeks of not complaining, people said they felt happier. They10that the less they complained, the happier their lives became.
Complaining seems to be part of our human nature. Life,11, is full of difficulties. It is12to feel disappointed, irritated and unhappy at times. The real problem,13, comes when we take those negative inner feeelings and14them out loud. Somehow, it makes everything15. The more we complain, the worse we feel; the worse we feel, the more we complain. And it16everyone around us, too. It can become a virus of negativity.
Doctors say that complaining is aslo17for your health. They say that people who aren’t complainers are healthier, happier, have more friends and are more successful than people who complain all the time. So,18something ticks you off, like a rainy day or a bad meal, try19your tongue instead of complaining. It will be your contribution to20a world without complaints.
