15、and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot

16、 of pain by mastering his imagination.Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terri

17、bly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume, finally she agreed.The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand

18、to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only.

19、 things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could.

23、rld. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from(源于) the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects（产生的影响）upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix t

24、heir attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatis

25、fied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (得罪) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention（意图）of criticizing（批评的）and being disliked is perhaps taken up

26、 by imitation (仿效). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors（拥有者）. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact

27、 it is chiefly（主要）an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper（脾气）and dr

28、aws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor（有利于）their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections（异议）, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join t

29、o criticize their wrong doings. Those should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise（否则）, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconv

30、enient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels（口角; 争吵）.11. People who are unhappy _. A. always consider things differently from others B. usually are affected by the results of certain things C. usually misunderstand what others think or say D. always discover the unpleasant side of
