3 . The wonderful multiple-award winning producer, writer, and director Norman Lear, who is 100, was recently interviewed by a TV host, who asked him what advice he would give to younger people as a successful man. Without missing a beat, Lear said, “Learn to let things that bother you go.”
Those few words are some of the most powerful in the world. I know that if people could just learn to do it, murder and divorce rates would fall dramatically, and I would be out of a job.
Learning to let go of what bothers you is a dream for many people, each of us has our own personal demons (魔鬼) to fight. The big question is: how do you let go of them? There is no one solution that works for everyone, because we’re all different. Psychotherapy(心理疗法) may help some people who hold on to negative thoughts, while others don’t respond to such treatments.
Even after you’ve worked on this, you may have to deal with the after-effects of a traumatic experience. It’s hard to forget, for example, that someone held a gun to your head or broke your heart. Truly letting go means not forgetting what happened but rather leading to live with it, because no one can completely forget their past and it’s no use avoiding the unfortunate past. But each day is a chance to start anew.
Elvira, an actress, was disturbed by PTSD, a mental disorder. Medication didn’t help. She got counseling from some good people and did her own work, but she would still wake up in a state of anxiety every morning. When we started working together, I asked her to imagine, as often as she could, that the discomfort she was feeling was the negativity leaving her body. Whenever a negative thought entered her mind, she would repeat this visualization exercise and would soon begin to feel okay again.
Learning to let go of things that bother you frees you from the feeling that you don’t deserve good things coming your way. It takes effort, but it’s worthwhile.
1. What advice did Norman Lear share with younger people?A.Being professional in multiple fields. | B.Being enthusiastic about one’s career. |
C.Having an optimistic attitude to bad things. | D.Showing great love and caring for the young. |
A.Annoying dreams share certain similarities. | B.Strategies for letting go vary between individuals. |
C.It’s necessary for us to let go of negative thoughts. | D.It’s normal for us to receive psychological treatments. |
A.Move forward with bad memories. | B.Avoid things related to past traumas |
C.Try hard to forget unpleasant experiences. | D.Mark the boundary between the present and the past. |
A.An effective technique for battling against anxiety. |
B.The way how mental disorders affect people’s life. |
C.The process of treating mental disorders is painful. |
D.Actresses are more likely to suffer mental disorders. |
4 . Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person
Here’s a riddle: What do traffic jams, long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common? There is one answer.
In the Digital Age, we’re used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips. However, research suggests that if we practiced patience, we’d be a whole lot better off. Here are several tricks.
●Practice gratitude (感激)
Thankfulness has a lot of benefits: Research shows it makes us happier, less stressed and even more optimistic.
● Make yourself wait
Instant gratification (满足) may seem like the most “feel good” option at the time, but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run. And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice.
●
So many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate, and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone, we get impatient about the circumstances. You should learn to say to yourself, “
A.Find your causes |
B.Start with small tasks |
C.Accept the uncomfortable |
D.All this adds up to a state of hurry |
E.It can also help us practice more patience |
F.This is merely uncomfortable, not intolerable |
G.They’re all situations where we could use a little extra patience |
5 . Fear is a feeling, and like all feelings, it’s made by your brain.
But sometimes you can be terribly afraid of something that’s not really dangerous, like insects or bad dreams. Or you may have a fear that makes sense, but is too much.
You can never be away from fear completely. Fear is built into your brain.
When fear rises, it can be hard to think clearly and keep your cool. But with practice, you can manage fear.
Practicing for scary situations can help you act properly and quickly without freezing up. If you are nervous about having to give a speech in front of a class or meeting, practicing can help you focus on the speech, not the fear. Fear is an uncontrollable reaction, but the way we deal with it is not. It takes practice to learn to stay calm in scary situations, but it can be done.
A.You can’t control fear. |
B.Fear can be a good thing. |
C.No one is actually fearless. |
D.Fear is a feeling with one job. |
E.Also, practice can quiet your fear. |
F.Your brain will tell you what to do. |
G.After all, learning is what the brain does best. |
