Unit 6 Book 4Listen and RespondP170Task One1.The passage mainly tells us that we will improve our quality of life if we lookhonestly at the reality of the situation and see the positive side of it.2.The speaker says we cannot control diseases,injuries or the weatherbecause they are unpredictable and we are powerless to change them.However,human beings can change the outer aspects of their lives bychanging the inner attitudes of their minds,as William James says.3.Example one:When one of your co-workers asks you how youre doingwith your work,the positive answer would be I feel great,which makesyour co-worker feel good.Example two:When you have a big work project to be completed and youface a deadline.There are two ways to look at the situation.If you worryabout all the work still left for you to do,you will feel disappointed andfrustrated.If you tell yourself that half of it is already done,and you arecertainly better off than when you first started the project,you will feelconfident that you can finish it ahead of the deadline.Task Two1.project2.deadline3.left4.better off5.half-empty6.choice7.situation8.positive9.Self-motivated10.opportunityEnhance Your Language
