Unit1
：
Have you ever known anyone famous? If so, you may have found that they are remarkably

similar to the rest of us. You may have even heard them
object
to people saying there is anything
different about them. “I’m really just a normal guy,”
protests
an actor who has recently rocketed
into the spotlight. There is, of course, usually a brief period when they actually start to

believe they are as great as their
worshipping
fans suggest. They start to wear
fancy
clothes
and talk as if everyone should hear what they have to say. This period, however
, does not often
last long. They fall back to reality as fast as they had
originally
risen above it all. What will it feel
like to soar to such
altitud
e and look down like an eagle from up high on everyone else? And
what will it feel like to have flown so high only to
wake
from your dream and realize you; are only
human?
Some
only
see
the
cruelty

in
losing
something
they
had
gained.
They
often
make
desperate
attempts to regain what they lost. Often these efforts result in even greater pain.
Some become
bankrupt
financially and emotionally. The only real winners are those who are
happy to be back on the ground with the rest of us.

大的，因为被他们崇拜的粉丝推崇。他们开 始穿花哨的衣服，好像每个人都应该在听他们说话。然而，这样的期
间，不会持续太长。他们很快回归到 了现实，就在他们把这些（名利）看得太重的时候。那种感觉就好像是一直
翱翔在高空的老鹰俯视其他所 有的人？那种飞得高的感觉只是为了唤醒你的梦想从而认清你自己？他们从得到

他们常常绝望的想得到他们失去的东西。
这些努力往往导致更大的痛苦。
有些人无论经

While it seems pretty obvious that gratitude is a positive emotion, psychologists for decades
rarely delved into the science of giving thanks. But in the last several years many
experiments

that it is one of humanity's most
powerful
emotions. It makes you happier and can change your
attitude about life, like an emotional reset button.




Beyond
proving
that being grateful helps you, psychologists also are trying to
figure
out
the
brain
chemistry
behind
gratitude

the
best
ways

Miami

thankful,points out that giving thanks is a potent(

McCullough said. That's why when you give thanks it should be more
