阅读理解。
You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the
plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for
a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the
drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing
tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his
morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are
still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your
happiness. It may not change what you think, but
communicating long enough with them will make you feel
depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in
the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only
feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can
hardly win others' pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit
stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.
When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you,you
feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with
negative people. This could be a co-worker,or a relative. In this
case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes
it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,
but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and
they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being
realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day
can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which
makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short
to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as
possible.
