Avoid OverthinkingIn order to remove pessimism when things are difficult , its best to think positively(积极地). “What can I learn from this? Times are hard, Ive been out of work over a period of time, but I can spend more time with the kids, take up a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”2. Practice Acts of KindnessNow more than ever we need each other to stay alive. Lyubomirsky found that doing good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical, everyday offers that make someone s life a little bit easier. 3. Focus on Your RelationshipsYou dont need an expert to tell you that relationships are important to happiness. Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to meet your kids needs can make your family life hard. But the solution is to stop feeling bad and focus on nurturing（培育）your loved ones.“What parents dont realize is that kids dont care about toys but their attitudes towards them” says Lyubomirsky.4. Pick a GoalDevote yourself to a projectwhether it is a business you want to start or a dance you want to learn. But its also important to remember to be flexible (灵活)in these times. Dont feel down if conditions are stopping you from meeting your goals. Stick to it and change it if necessary! 5. Take Care of Your BodySpend a small part of your day giving your body some TLC （tender loving care）. It will go a long way in adding to your happiness. “Even if you cant afford to go to the gym,” Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”46.

How to overcome difficulties in times of trouble.B. How to start businesses in hard times.C. How to reach a goal in times of trouble.D. How to find happiness in hard times.B The ships and life jackets(救生衣) were ready. Now I just had to wait for my little brother, Daniel. His lungs had only 40 percent of the breathing capacity（量）of an ordinary teenage boy. Every morning, evening and night, he did some breathing treatments. Daniel was fourteenonly four years younger than mebut I made it my business to look out for him. Friends who were coughing had to stay away until they were well. If not, it would mean a trip to the hospital if Daniel caught a cold. Many people said I was overprotective, but I knew it was my responsibility to keep him healthy. I was like Daniels guardian angel（守护神）, though he probably didnt know it. I climbed into my seat and waited. When he was breathing better, we made our way past the cliffs（峭壁） that lined the shoreCliffs rose on either side of us, the water breaking against them. The ocean was mad, but it was no trouble for us with rowing（划桨）experience. We felt surprised at the beauty of the sceneclear blue sky and calm breeze. “Whoa,” Daniel said, looking up. In minutes the blue sky became windy and dark. Waves hit the shore and our ships went up and down in the wave. I looked back at Daniel to make sure he was okay and he was. I got a bit too close to a rock on my left side. But before I could move away, a strong wave swept up my ship and pushed me toward the very rock I was trying to avoid. I tried to slow down and keep my balance. But I was headed right for the rock! Suddenly, my ship was ripped（裂开）by the rock from under me. I fell into the water. Everything was white. After my head broke the surface, I looked around but my ship was nowhere to be seen. The waves were too strong. I could hardly move. The water pulled me and pushed me at its will. I could see my brother 30 yards away. He was just away from the dangerous white water and rocks, still upright, in his ship. If he came closer, he would fall into the water, too. He wouldnt have the strength to fight. But Daniel was already on his way, rowing as fast as he could. I caught hold of the back of his ship. Breathing hard, Daniel pulled me toward the ship. He struggled and could hardly breathe but kept rowing. Finally my feet touched the shore. It took Daniel a while to get his breath back. We shared a quick hug and we both lay on the shore. Looking at Daniel, I thought of something. 50.

Research shows that walking can actually increase the connectivity（联系） within brain, which tends to decrease as the grey hairs increase.“Patterns of connectivity decrease as we get older,” said Dr. Arthur F. Kramer, who led the study team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.“Networks arent as well connected to support the things we do, such as driving,” he said. “But we found as a function（功能）of aerobic（有氧的） fitness, the networks became more reasonably connected.” Kramers walking study, which was published in the journ
