8月4日口譯文章：細節轉變生存 8種方法讓生存更美妙
新的研討發明有許多方法能讓本身加倍寧靜、富有發明力和長命。
樂觀踴躍
就算你天天沒有太多的時光也沒緊要，僅僅幾分鐘的尋思就可以讓你得到很多利益。研討表現，在五周的時光裏均勻尋思6小時13分鐘的成年人，有用地晉升了腦力，心態也變得加倍踴躍。
鎮靜
愛爾蘭和加拿大的科學家視察發明，用某種酸奶裏含有的活益生菌餵食老鼠，能讓它們在壓力之下顯得加倍沉著。比擬那些食肉的老鼠而言，它們仿佛更不易墮入驚恐，還能排泄出較少的壓力荷爾蒙——這和服用抗煩悶癥藥物的後果同樣。喝喝那些富含活益生菌的酸奶吧，然後大贊一句“好喝”。
發明性思惟
房間裏的燈膽對發明性思惟有影響。比擬頭頂這天光燈的自願者而言，頭頂是白熾燈膽的仿佛更能易如反掌的辦理須要立異性思惟的困難。科學家表現，燈膽的意味主義(不單單它的光譜)能贊助被試者想出不錯的點子，而且“愈來愈多的行動研討註解對物體的感知能潛移默化的影響咱們的行動”。
歸屬感
在交際連通性的生理測試中，咱們給那些把雞湯算作是撫慰食品的大門生預備了一些雞湯，成果表現他們的得分要比沒有喝雞湯的那群人更高。好比咱們給出詞根incl， 他們會敏捷轉化成“幹系辭匯” 好比include，而非中性辭匯incline，由於雞湯激發了他們心中的歸屬感。
活氣
累了?乏了?被困在辦公室了?想象一下本身正在戶外，藍世界，綠茵旁吧。新的研討表現，做點關於天然的白天夢能增長能量。假如你真能去戶外那就更好了，天天只須要在天然情況下待上20分鐘就可以有用進步一天的能量了。
長命
依據對10000個成年人長達50年的追蹤研討，科學家發明，自願運動特別是那些忘我利心的，可所以救命稻草。那些花時光贊助他人的人們要比其別人加倍長命，縱然他們幫他人只是為了本身高興。
狂喜
研討者請求自願者回憶一下前次為本身或他人費錢時到底有多高興。究竟上，費錢者不但更高興了，給他們過剩的錢時，他們還會樂於花在他人身上。研討作者總結道，給禮品和人之間有著“踴躍的回饋輪回”。
康健飲食
一項啟發性的研討表現，想在方便店做出準確的選取，用現金吧。對1000個家庭的剖析發明，那些用信譽卡付賬的客人仿佛更容易選取薯片、餅幹和其他垃圾食物。理論：花現金才更會肉疼，人們也就不會多買那些垃圾食物了。

New scientific research offers surprising ways to shower yourself with tranquility, creativity, longevity and more。
1. Optimism
Never mind if you don't have hours a day—even a few minutes spent in quiet contemplation once in a while yields noticeable benefits. A group of adults who meditated an average of six hours and 13 minutes over the course of five weeks developed patterns of brain activity typically associated with positive moods。
2. Serenity
When mice were fed a strain of probiotics found in some yogurt, they became calmer under stress, Irish and Canadian scientists observed. The were less likely to panic like their broth-fed brethren, and they produced fewer stress hormones—effects similar to those brought on by antidepressants. Look for yogurt that has active probiotic cultures, and say, "Mmmm."
3. Creative Thinking
Volunteers who worked in rooms lit by a lamp with an incandescent lightbulb instead of overhead fluorescents solved problems requiring novel thinking more successfully. Scientists say the symbolism of the bulb (not just its light spectrum) led to the subjects' bright ideas, and cited "a growing body of research showing that perception of objects...can subtly influence our behavior."
4. Belonging
Undergraduates who considered chicken soup a comfort food and then were fed some scored higher on a psychological test of social connectedness than those who weren't given any soup. When given a word fragment like incl, they converted it into a "relationship word" such as include, instead of a neutral term, like incline, because the dish stirred a sense of connection。
5. Vitality
Tired? Draggy? Stuck in your office? Picture yourself outside beneath an arching sky and canopied branches. Daydreaming about nature is energizing, according to a new study. And if you can go outdoors, even better: As little as 20 minutes in a natural setting demonstrably increased people's energy levels for the day。
6. Longevity
Using data from about 10,000 adults tracked over 50 years, scientists discovered that volunteering, especially for altruistic motives, can be a lifesaver. People who reported giving their time because they wanted to help others outlived those who didn't volunteer at all, as well as those who did so mostly for their own satisfaction。
7. Bliss
Researchers asked volunteers to rate their level of happiness the last time they spent money on themselves or on someone else. Not only were the givers happier, but when presented with extra cash to use as they wished, they were more apt to spend it on others. The study's authors concluded "a positive feedback loop" exists between offering gifts and well-being。
8. A Healthier Diet
To make better choices at the grocery store, bring dollar bills, a revelatory study shows. Analyzing 1,000 households, researchers found that shoppers who paid by credit card tended to select chips, cookies, and other junk food. The theory: Shelling out cash is more psychologically painful, so people are less likely to spend it on unhealthy goods。
