The advice to"let go"of negative (消極的) feelings is repeated in yoga classes and self-help books. Now a new study suggests it really brings lasting health advantages. Those who had a hard time getting over daily troubles had more physical health problems ten years later.

If you are likely to think over daily troubles--running through every "what if" and "if only"-- it makes you feel that's a big deal. Maddux said, “You probably find you feel even worse after a night of thinking. If that cycle is repeated over time, it will wear you down."

The study results are based on 1,155 people who took in a national health study. Each day, the people described their feeling changes over the past 24 hours. During the 10-year mark, only 17 percent of the people have no physical health problems, and only 20 percent are satisfied with their physical strength. But those who always say they have negative feelings because of daily troubles are more likely to have the physical problems, the finding showed.

People can be likely to have bad feelings for a longer time for many reasons. For some people, worries or anger could drive it. Many others naturally have a more nervous feeling or are likely to think over and over again. But even if you are born to be negative, that can be changed.

"Yes, it's hard to 'let go'," Leger said. But people can develop that skill through practice, in which you train the mind to pay attention to the present, rather than worries about the past.

"Paying attention to the present, especially on things you are grateful for, has been shown to have several advantages, "Leger said.

B.During 24 hours, people never change their feelings

C.Only 17% of the people have no physical health problems.

2.The underlined expression "that skill" in Paragraph 5 refers to _______.

C.caring about the past D.thinking over and over

3.The purpose of the passage is to _______.

A.introduce different kinds of negative feelings.

B.help people know about the national health study

C.teach readers the ways to let the negative feelings go

D.ask people not to think over too much about the daily troubles

Everyone expects to live a relaxing life after retirement（退休）, isn't it? However, this is not the case for Mr. Bai Fangli. In 1987, at the age of 74, he decided to continue working as a pedicab（三輪車）driver. But he didn’t work to make money for himself, but for the poor children who are not able to afford education. Once he started, he never stopped.

Life as a pedicab driver was not easy, but Bai kept working hard. Every day he went out in the early morning and wouldn't return until darkness. He made 20 to 30 yuan each day. After returning home, he put his money in a lunch box carefully. In almost twenty years Bai hardly bought any clothes or a pair of shoes for himself. He gave away all the money he made from his job. By the time he was 88, he had given away more than 350,000 yuan and helped more than 300 poor students return to school.

One winter in 2001, he drove his pedicab to Tianjin YaoHua Middle School and handed 500 yuan to a teacher. He said, “I cannot work anymore, and this is the last money I can give to help others.” 4 years later, he got lung cancer and died when he was 92.

1.What was Bai's job?

____________________________________________________________________.
