are living longer than ever before. but you have to be good to your body, mind, and soul. the following tips are a good start for getting you on your way to living a long and healthy life. eat a balanced diet - one that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber and low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol. a well-balanced diet can provide your body with the essential nutrients needed to achieve and maintain optimum health. be physically active - try to incorporate 30 minutes of activity into your day, every day. the options are endless; start walking on the beach in the mornings, try jogging with a friend, or go for a bike ride in the afternoons. make sure you choose activities that you enjoy, that way youll be more likely to make them a habit. get regular preventive check-ups -see your doctor regularly; remember your doctor is your partner in health care. by having regular check-ups, you may be able to catch small problems before they become big ones.

yourself. keep your home well lit and free of things that could make you fall. stay in touch with family and friends - get to know your neighbors. take the time to be involved with your community. by creating a strong social network, you will not only have friends to celebrate with when good things happen, but also a support system in difficult times. keep a positive attitude - studies have shown

the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like i never do anything right into positive ones like i can succeed. but was positive thinking advocate norman vincent peale right? is there power in positive thinking?researchers in canada just published a study in the journal psychological science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.the studys authors, joanne wood and john lee of the university of waterloo and elaine perunovic of the university of new brunswick, begin by citing (引证) older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is overly positive, they actually feel worse, not better. if you tell your friend who is slow to learn that he has the potential of an einstein, youre just underlining his faults. in one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist joel cooper of princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. when the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.in this experiment, wood, lee and perunovic measured 68 students self-esteem. the participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. when it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, i am lovable.those with low self-esteem didnt feel better after the forced self-affirmation (自我肯定). in fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who werent urged to think positive thoughts.the paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. in the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. meditation (静思) techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic viewpoint. call it the power of negative thinking. 61. what do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?a. it is a highly profitable industry. b. it was established by norman vincent peale.c. it is based on the concept of positive thinking. d. it has yielded positive results.62. what is the finding of the canadian researchers?a. there can be no therapy (治疗) for psychological problems.b. unhappy people cannot think positively.c. the power of positive thinking is limited.d. encouraging positive thinking may do more harm than good.63. what does the author mean by youre just underlining his faultsa. you are emphasizing the fact that he is not intelligent.b. you are not taking his mistakes seriously enough.c. you are pointing out the errors he has committed.d. you are trying to make him feel better about his faults.64. what do we learn from the experiment of wood, lee and perunovic? a. it is important for people to continually boost their self-esteem. b. forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem. c. self-affirmation can bring a positive change to ones mood. d. people with low self-esteem seldom write down their true feelings.65. what do we learn from the last paragraph?a. meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.b. the effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.c. different people tend to have different ways of thinking.d. people can avoid making mistakes through meditation.c it was 1963, in paris. while walking through the fruit and vegetable market alice waters was struck by the display of brilliant colors, the music of farmers selling their produce, and in the middle of a great city. she felt directly connected to the land. chez panisse, a berkeley restaurant, which was founded upon waters ecological philosophy, has been named the best restaurant in america by both the james beard foundation and by gourmet magazine, many times in the past. only the food grown in accordance with the principles of sustainable (可持续发展的) agriculture was used in the restaurant. menus offered nightly at chez panisse have consisted only of fresh ingredients, harvested in season, and purchased from local farmers. alice waters has successfully demonstrated how a restaurant can develop successfully while contributing to the general welfare of the farming community. sharing a meal between the people was one of the wishes of alice waters as she would love her customers to know each other. in 1996, inspired by the garden project at the san francisco county jail(监狱), waters decided to apply her principles to education. the project was first started at the martin luther king middle school in berkeley with the idea to transform some land near the school into a garden and, in the process, to teach local school children about food and agriculture. in 1999, over 120 people came to help plant the first cover crop, which prepared the field for farming by adding nutrients to the soil. the student garden staff has had several years worth of harvest, and has started growing gardens like herb and tea. here, agricultural practices are continually being revised and updated and every year the schoolyard staff attends the ecological farming conference in monterey. a kitchen classroom has also been created, where students learn about main foods eaten in other parts of the world. i believe that every child in this world needs to have a relationship with the land.to know how to nourish themselves.and to know how to connect with the community around them, says waters. the middle school has become a model in itself. the students work the land and harvest the crops, while the cafeteria(食堂) buys and prepares the produce for school lunches. this program will go a long way in teaching kids to value fresh food and their own contributions. this project is sure to inspire a national change in school curricula(课程). in fact, many middle and high schools in california and ohio have launched similar projects. in 1997, alice waters received the humanitarian award from the ja
