Having one of those days or weeks when everything seems to annoy you? Even if you do nothing about it, your bad mood(心情) will probably go away after some time. But with a little effort, you can forget it much faster—often within a day or two.
Walk it off
Exercise is the most popular bad mood buster. A person who's in a bad mood has low energy and high tension. Taking a fast ten-minute walk, or doing some quick exercises can do wonders towards changing the bad mood.
Tune it out
Listening to your favorite music for a while can also make tension go away quickly, because music starts connection with past positive experiences we've had.
Give yourself a paper talk
Stop and listen to what's on your mind. Bad moods are often started by too many negative thoughts. Write them all down on paper, the pessimistic(悲观的) messages you've been giving yourself, and then give optimistic answers. (“I still don't have a job.” vs “I have two interviews next week.”)
Reduce your stress
Relaxation techniques are wonderful moodlifters. These include deep breathing, stretching and visualizing(想像), all of which sound complicated(复杂的) but aren't. One easy way to visualize: close your eyes and picture a favorite place, such as the beach. Another simple way to distress is to make a todo list. One reason for being in a bad mood is feeling you have no options. By taking control over certain areas, you realize you're not helpless. You can make changes in your mood and life.
Avoid things that won't improve your mood
TV may not help much: you need to increase your energy level and stimulate(刺激) your mind—something that the TV show “Neighbors” won't do. And before you reach for that piece of cake and coffee, think about how mood and food are linked. Sugar and caffeine contribute to depressed moods. The better choice? Research shows that carbohydrates, such as potatoes and pasta(面食), produce calming effects in people who have a desire for them.

总结一下刚才我所讲的几个时代，我们可以这样说：在公元1400年以前的中国科技是领先的；1400年至1600年是举步不前的；1600年至1900年是极端抗拒新科技的引入；1900年至1950年是以两三代的速度就引进了西方很多的科学；1950年至2000年，中国已经加入世界先进的科学国家之列，在竞争。
一个长远的社会动态通常都有很深的很长远的因素。③我个人认为，以下的几个长远因素是使得一个社会一个国家能够有辉煌的科技发展的必要条件。④第一个是需要有聪明的青年人，有头脑做科学研究；第二个是需要有重视纪律，重视忍耐心，重视勤奋的社会传统，第三要有决心；第四要有经济条件。⑤我认为这四项在21世纪中国都会具备的。⑥当然有人讲，你讲的太简单了，中国将有许许多多问题，会有政治动乱、有接班人问题，政治体制问题，贫富不均问题、外交问题，简直数不清的问题。
我们来看看二十世纪发生了什么事情，这个世纪是中国以很高的速度从零开始达到一个近代科技本土化了的局面。这样一个发展是在一个什么情形之下出现的呢是经过两次大革命，经过了无数的内战。经过了日本的侵略；经过了种种的困难：经济的困难、外交的困难、经过了史无前例的“ * * ”的摧残。可是这一切的一切都并没有阻挡中国二十世纪科技的蓬勃发展。为什么倒科技的发展所需要的原来很简单，只是我刚才所讲的那四个条件，只要有(甲)、有(乙)、有(丙)、有(丁)，中国在二十世纪里有前三者，到了二十一世纪我认为四者具备，我对二十一世纪中国科技的发展是绝对乐观的。
