In order to become a positive thinker, determination and consistency are important. The first thing to know about positive thinking is that everyone can do it. With certain cognitive (认知的) and behavioral changes, we can all become positive thinkers. Another important factor is that being a positive thinker does not mean you become numb to anything that is not working properly in your life or is negative - it just means that you approach life and face challenges with a healthier outlook.Instead of selectively attending to negative events, focus on the positive ones. Then pay attention to the delayed consequences of your behavior rather than the immediate ones. For example, if a job is not going like you want, focus on the fact that you have a job and how you can take your time to make the situation better.Challenge any internal attributions and see if you compare your behavior to standards that are excessively rigid and perfectionistic. If so, change these and be reasonable with your comparisons. For example, if you constantly compare your weaknesses with other peoples strengths, then switch this and compare yourself with those who are doing poorer than you as well. Overall, people who focus more on their strengths than their weaknesses but at the same time are aware of their weaknesses have a healthier self-evaluation result.When faced with too much fear about a situation, imagine the worst case and visualize a solution for it, then let go of fear. This way, you will be prepared for anything and your fear will not block you from being open and creative to different solutions. For example, if you are constantly worried about losing your job up to a point where it is creating a lot of anxiety and fear and is effecting your performance and your happiness negatively, then think of losing your job, visualize how you will handle it, find solutions in your mind and then let go of the thought and the fear attached to it.So positive thinkers are better problem solvers and have better interactions. In addition to that, people who are positive thinkers are happier and more satisfied with their life.41. Why is positive thinking a significant element of happiness?A. It means that one is blind to the troubles and difficulties that exist.B. It means that one constantly compares everything with other peoples.C. It means that one is strong in mind and has nothing to be afraid of.D. It means that one approaches life and faces challenges more healthily.42. What does the text suggest about the job you dont like?A. Quitting it and finding a better one. B. Keeping and trying to make it better.C. Being negative and numb to it D. Challenging yourself with a new outlook.43. What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 4?A. Be prepared for the worst: and let go of fear. B. Being constantly worried will lose your job.C. Fear will prevent you being open and creative. D. There is nothing to fear if well prepared.44. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. How to focus on the positive events B. How to be a positive thinkerC. What to do when faced with fear D. What to know of self-evaluation三：七选五（每题4分，共20分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。One of my earliest memories was watching my mom talk on our old phone.
