The possibility of cloning fierce and extinct wild animals have always excited film makers。

And they are not the only one。

The popularity of the film Jurassic Park proves how interesting ordinary people are in the subject. It is a film in that a scientist clones several kind of extinct dinosaurs. In fact，we are long way from being able to clone extinct animals. From time to time people suggest that the animals that have disappeared from the earth, can be brought back to the life through
cloning. Unfortunately，based on what we know，it is possible。

So dinosaurs’ returned to the earth is merely a dream。

One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful。

In fact, there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well—being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you're grateful for。

36 。

Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone, try acting like you’re happy-even if you are not。

A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain，so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well。

37 Reassure（使安心) yourself that everything is good— even if you don’t feel it.
“__38__ If you’re stuck in traffic，then everything else must be going horribly too,” says Anne Parker，a wellness counselor。

By blowing negative events out of proportion, you're setting yourself up for feeling down all day。

Instead，acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic，but also bring to mind something good, like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way，you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.
Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals
leading to happiness，but they take time to achieve。

__39_ You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated。

However，if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way, you will feel positive about your progress, which will give you the strength to keep going.
__40__ Try making someone else's day better. A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72 % more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers。

Plus, 89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well— being，and 92％say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life。

A. Want to give your attitude a lift?
B。

Try to help someone in need。

C. Act in an optimistic way——smile，laugh, tell a joke。

D。

People tend to think in an either—or way.
E。

By remembering the pleasant things in your life, you can actually turn a negative attitude around。

F。

By focusing on not having accomplished them yet, you will start to feel down on yourself.
G。

You'll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.
