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 middleaged 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 RLang，a professor at the University of ErlangenNuremberg.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.(2013湖北，E)1According to the study，who made the most

to childrens education.However，there are good and bad ways to watch television.Parents who are interested in using television as a learning tool can actually turn time in front of TV into an educational chance.Probably the most familiar educational way to use television is to simply watch educational programs.In particular，this means selecting channels and programs specially designed for educational purposes.Along with traditional educational shows for children on public broadcasting channels，cable television now offers kids and adults a wide variety of educational programs，with everything from nature shows to historical events in different countries.Captioning，such as “closed captioning” for hearing disabled viewers provides another way for parents to exploit(开发) the educational possibilities of television.One study showed that children who watched captioned TV got great improvement in their vocabulary and oral reading ability.In addition，parents can make any show at learning class by watching television together with children.By actively joining children in the programs that they are watching，parents can help with the development of such skills as predicting and summarizing.In order to develop predicting skills，parents and children could first refer to a programs description in a viewing guide.After reading the program description and guessing what might happen in the program，parents and children could watch together to see which predictions were correct.And to practice summarizing，after watching a program，parents can turn off the TV and ask what the story was about.This kind of activity helps children develop thinking skills such as arranging events in an order and memorizing information.Although there will still be plenty of times when children watch TV simply for passive enjoyment，parents can help make at least part of their chil
