Meditatin is increasingly used t help treat drug abuse, verwhelming stress, eating disrders and lng-lasting pain. But until nw it has nt been clear whether it culd als be able t change the cmpsitin f the gut micrbime(微 生物组). In an effrt t find ut, researchers led by the Shanghai Mental Health Centre at the Shanghai Jia Tng University analyzed the stl(粪便)and bld samples f 37 Tibetan Buddhist mnks frm three temples and 19 residents in the neighbring areas. The Tibetan meditatin frm the ancient Indian medical system, is a frm f psychlgical training. The mnks in the study had practiced it fr at least 2 hurs a day fr 3-30 years.

Des a happy persn live lnger? Many studies have cnvinced us that happiness brings gd health, which has resulted in an increasing demand fr speakers and prducts encuraging psitive thinking. Hwever, being happy des nt prmise that ne is ging t be healthy. There are ther factrs that influence ne's health and lng life such as a persn's genes r even a persn's sci-ecnmic cnditin.
Sme research even suggests that psitive thinking can be dangerus. Psitive thinking, when taken t the extreme, can cause a persn t be separated frm reality. Fr example, a persn wh thinks that staying happy and psitive can help him recver frm an illness like cancer but later fails t recver frm it, may blame himself fr nt being happy. In this case, psitive thinking may ptentially make the victim disregard ther factrs. Smetimes the pursuit f happiness is even assciated with serius mental health prblems such as depressin.
All types f happiness are nt gd fr us either. Fr example, pride, a pleasant feeling, can smetimes rb us f the ability t empathize with thers r understand anther's viewpint. This anti-scial behavir can cause peple arund us t turn away frm us, and this culd, in turn, make us feel lnely and d harm t ur mental and even physical health.
Mrever, unpleasant feelings can be beneficial t a persn's well-being. Researchers believe that unpleasant feelings can help us make sense f ur challenges and experiences in a way that supprts psychlgical well-being. Fr example, if I have behaved badly twards my gd friend, the feelings f guilt and sadness might mtivate me t aplgize and ask fr frgiveness. The rebuilding f a brken relatinship can be a lift t ne's mental well-being.
In trying t experience happiness, we shuld remember that seeking fr happiness as an end in itself can be self-defeating, and des nt necessarily lead t better health. After all, ne will surely experience setbacks and cnflicts in life. Instead, learning t cpe with negative emtins with a realistic psitive attitude is key t a persn's gd health.
32. What's the writer's pinin in this passage?
A. Negative thinking can be dangerus.
B. Staying happy can bring gd health.
C. Unpleasant feelings cannt be beneficial.
D. Happiness cannt ensure ne's gd health.
33. When can psitive thinking be dangerus accrding t the passage?
A. When we use it with a realistic attitude t slve prblems.
B. When we fcus n it as an nly determinant f happy life.
C. When we think it ne f the necessary factr fr gd health.
D. When we realize it may rb us f the ability t understand thers.
34. Hw can unpleasant feelings be beneficial t a persn's well-being?
A. They rebuild a brken relatinship.
B. They lead t self-reflectin and persnal grwth.
C. They help keep the prblems and challenges away.
D. They prevent lng-term negative effects n mental health.

One spring, I was hired as grundskeeper at a Cuntry Inn, a famus bed-and-breakfast lcated in Washingtn state. The grand huse is in a beautiful place. Many famus peple have visited and even had their wn rms there. The wners, Philip and Cecelia, have dne a perfect jb fr the huse. Hwever, the gardens were very vergrwn. Wrse yet, there was anther prblem: a very persistent de(母鹿).
Every day when I came t wrk, there was new evidence f the deer's big appetite. I tried many preventives: spray, human hair, sap, yu name it--but nne f thse things had effect. Often when I was weeding, I'd lk ver and there she'd be, munching sme tasty pieces. Wrst f all, she feasted n the rses, in which Cecelia tk great pride. I became s frustrated that I named her “Dinner”-and wanted t serve her n plates.
One mrning, I was n my hands and knees pulling ut vines and bushes when I caught a mvement ut f the crner f my eye. There was Dinner, nt five feet away, munching a large leaf and staring at me. I felt a cnnectin with this animal. We did have smething in cmmn--we were bth mthers. I gt the crazy idea f cmmunicating with her and it seemed she wanted the same thing.
What's up? I asked in my head.
I'm here because I feel safe, was the gentle reply I felt I heard. I have my fawns(幼鹿)bedded dwn nearby, and there is plenty t eat. When the twins are lder after summer, I will mve them deeper int the frest.
I understand that, I assured her. Peple cme here t, frm far away. I guess they'll be interested t see yu. I prmise that nbdy will harm yu r yur children. I dn't mind sharing the vegetatin but Cecelia lves rses, t. She is very upset when they are all eaten.
A lud crash brke the magic. Our eyes met again briefly befre she leaped ff acrss the driveway, disappearing int the frest. Has I really cmmunicated with the deer?
Paragraph1.
I went int the kitchen where Cecelia was preparing the evening meal.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2.
Every day, I enjyed watching Dinner with the twins and my presence never bthered them.
