Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy，with a glass that‘s perpetually half fall.But that’s exactly the kind of false deerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn‘t recommend.“Healthy optimists means being in touch with
reality.”says Tal Ben-Shahar，a Harvard professor，According to Ben-Shalar，realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen，but not those who believe everything happens for the best.
Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic
exercisers.When he feels down-sag，after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human.He reminds himself
that mot every lecture can be a Nobel winner；some will be less effective than others.Next is reconstruction，He analyzes the weak lecture，leaning lessons，for the future about what works and what doesn‘t.Finally，there is perspective，which involves acknowledging that in the ground scheme of life，one lecture really doesn’t matter.

大多数人认为乐观主义就是无休止的开心，就像在看到一个装了一半水的杯子的时候，会认为还差半杯就满了，而非空了一半。但是积极的心理学家并不认同这点，他们认为这只是一种假象的快乐。哈佛大学的塔尔. 本沙哈尔教授说“健康的乐
观主义意味着要与现实相结合”，。他认为，现实的乐观主义者是善于利用已发生的事的那些人，而不是认为每件事都是那么美好的那些人。
本沙哈尔有三种关于乐观主义的练习。譬如，当他做了一次糟糕的演讲后感觉很沮丧的时候，首先，他想到自己也是普通人，并不是每次演讲都能获得诺贝尔奖，有些演讲必定要比其他的差些。其次是重建，他会分析这次糟糕的演讲中好的和不好的地方，并从中吸取教训。最后，他会这样想，一次演讲在人生的大舞台中只是很小很小的一部分。

大作文:
Along with the advance of the society, a social issue is brought to our attention, (…description…). (The phenomenon is so thought-provoking that I can’t help exploring the driving forces behind it.) Many factors that contribute to the phenomenon may be summarized as follows. Above
all, unbalanced development causes people to move from west mountain areas to east coastal cities. Based upon a survey performed by socialists, almost 65% of the respondents regard urban life as their top priority, compared to 46% only a few years ago. What’s more, income gap between rural areas and urban districts accelerates the increasing population flow. Finally, under
the background of globalization, cities can provide an easy access to the outside world and updated information.
In view of the factors discussed above, all the analysis points to an unshakable conclusion. The trend does not exist in this single field, and it is bound to usher in a new era of relevant spheres.
