6 Reading and Writing B

READING
1 Read the article about positive thinking and tick () A, B, or C.
Are you a positive thinker?

On our website this week, Dr Charles offers some tips on positive thinking.
Are you an optimist? I hope so, because if you are, you’ll live longer and you’ll be
healthier. Or are you a pessimist? I hope not. Studies show that you won’t enjoy life
as much and you’ll take longer to get better when you’re ill. So how do you think
positive, not negative, thoughts? Here are some tips on how to be a positive thinker.
Stop thinking negative thoughts such as ‘I’ll never find a partner’ or ‘I’ll never
pass my driving test’. Find something positive to do. Phone your best friend and
have a chat. Go out and do some exercise. Put on a funny DVD. This will stop you
thinking negative thoughts, and will cheer you up.
Don’t compare your life with other people’s lives. For example, thoughts like
‘She’s got a better job’ or ‘He’s got a bigger house’ make you feel pessimistic about
life. Change your thinking to ‘I’ve got a good job and I like my work’ and ‘I’m happy
in this house. It’s big enough for me’. Remember, being successful doesn’t always
mean you are happy.
Write down your negative thoughts. This will help you to clear those thoughts
from your head. And that will make you feel more positive. You could also write
down positive things that happened to you. Read them when you are feeling sad or
depressed, and that will make you feel more positive.
Use positive language when you speak. This will make you think more positively.
For example, don’t say ‘Our holiday was a disaster’. Say ‘Next holiday, we’re going
to do things differently’. Don’t say ‘Famous? It’ll never happen’. Say ‘Famous? I’ll try
my best’. Try it – it works!
Example: According to Dr Charles, if you’re an optimist, you’ll live longer.

A True  B False  C Doesn’t say 
According to Dr Charles, …
1 … if you’re an optimist, you’ll be healthier.
A True  B False  C Doesn’t say 
2 … if you’re a pessimist, you won’t get ill.
3 … we should try not to have negative thoughts.
4 … if you do something positive, your life will change.
5 … you should compare yourself with others.
6 … if you’re successful, you aren’t always happy.
7 … if you write down your negative thoughts, you won’t have them again.
