7 . How to Be More Present

Many people have a tendency to live in the past or the future. They constantly think about the past and worry about the future, and thus find it difficult to enjoy the good things in life in the here and now. You might unfortunately be one of these people.     1     Here are some tips that might help you.

Notice Your Surroundings

One way to be in the present moment is by noticing your surroundings. How often do you take time out of your day to actually look around and see what’s going on? Now close your eyes and take a deep breath.     2     When you do, it’s easier to be more present in the moment.

Be Grateful for What You Have Now

    3     If you are constantly focused on things you don’t have, you aren’t taking the time to appreciate what you have at this moment. One way to practice gratitude is to write a list of things you are grateful for and review that list on a daily basis. Try to write at least three things you are grateful for in your life right now.

Show Acceptance

If you want to learn how to be more present, you need to let go of how you think things should be and accept them for what they are.     4     Sometimes life is going to be different than how you want it to be. Practicing acceptance will help you let go of the things in your life that are out of your control.

Find Positive Social Support

The kind of social support you have in your life can also play an important role. Surrounding yourself with positive, supportive people will increase your own positivity and happiness levels.     5    

A．Then open them and really take in where you are.

B．You should focus your attention on one thing at a time.

C．You cannot control everything that happens around you.

D．This is one way to distance yourself from what you are enjoying.

E．In turn, this will allow you to focus on what is going on right now.

F．Part of living in the present moment is to appreciate what you have now.

G．So learning how to live in the moment can greatly improve your well-being.

8 . Imagine you’re out for an evening stroll (闲逛) in a foreign city, looking to find a restaurant for dinner. You will look for the busiest restaurant with the most diners because its popularity is bound to reflect on the quality of food and service. But is this true?

In tourist areas, which lack regular, local customers, the number of diners is unlikely to hold information about the quality of the meal. In this case, following the example of others could have led to a sub-optimal (次佳的) dinner choice in an overcrowded restaurant.

Spontaneously (不由自主地) copying other people’s thoughts or choices or simply going with the crowd is often referred to as “Herd behaviors”. It is a frequent occurrence among humans as well as many other animals, a common example being sheep.

Herding can appear to make a lot of sense. Average judgements of large groups of people often outperform individual choices. Furthermore, following the crowd appears to offer protection and comfort — after all, there’s “safety in numbers” — while helping to maintain a favourable reputation. Finally, following the herd reduces the effort needed to make a personal or unique decision.

Herd behaviors, while common and easy to explain, can have many harmful effects. Blindly following the herd can have grave consequences when trying to escape from danger. As seen in examples during earthquakes, herding may result in the entire crowd rushing for the same door, even if other exits are available. This unavoidably affects evacuation (撤退) efforts and may result in avoidable injuries or even deaths.

Psychology research suggests that it’s surprisingly difficult to resist the influences of the herd. In an experiment involving financial decision making, researchers found that warning messages about the potential errors of the crowd were surprisingly ineffective in helping customers make better choices. It appears there is no quick and easy fix. Instead, it is advisable to involve individuals adopting more critical approaches towards peers’ opinion, and questioning others’ behaviors as opposed to blindly following them.

1. What does the author want to tell us by the restaurant example?

A．Undesirable outcomes of herding,	B．Wise dinner choices of most customers.
C．Practical ways of avoiding herding.	D．Poor conditions of popular dining places.

2. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about herding?

A．Its application.	B．Its disadvantages.
C．Its definition.	D．Its benefits.

3. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph?

A．Send warning messages.	B．Follow peers’ opinions.
C．Stop behaving critically.	D．Have our own judgments.

4. Which is the best title for the text?

A．Why can’t you find the reasons for herding?

B．Why shouldn’t you follow the crowd blindly?

C．When should you avoid influences of herding?

D．How can you discover wisdom of crowds?
