21、 and Africa. Sadly, many Africans were brought to the United States as slaves. Many immigrants come from Latin America too. Today, the United States has people from more cultures than ever.In the 19th century, people spoke of the United States as a “melting pot. People thought that all immigrates sh
22、ould forget their native cultures and languages and become English-speaking Americans. They felt that people should assimilate - join American culture. However, not everyone wanted to assimilate completely. Many people tried to keep parts of their cultures, such as foods, customs, and languages. How
23、ever, their children often forgot their parents or grandparents language. But most Americans, even those whose families have been here a long time, can tell the countries their relatives came from. And of course, new immigrants take great pride in their curare and language.For all of these reasons,
24、melting pot is no longer a good way to describe the United States. Instead, people now call the United States a “salad bowl.

29、er and might even lengthen your life, says researcher Suzaane Segerstrom, PhD, author of Breaking Murphys Law. Segerstrom is coauthor of a recent review of studies on the benefits of a positive attitude-and has experienced them herself. We asked her about optimisms principles and payoffs.l) Feeling
30、well helps when youre not well.“When researchers look at people who have similar medical conditions, they can predict whos likely to live longer: the one who feels his health is better. Theres something about that feeling of wellness thats important, even-maybe especially-if youre ill. Optimism also
31、 seems to help buffer (减缓) you against stress. Ive been studying first-year law students for 16 years. Thats a very stressed group, but in my most recent study, each time a students optimism increased one point on a five-point scale, his immune (免疫性的) response to an injected virus or yeast improved
32、by 20 percent.2) Optimism is something you do.“Anxiety and other negative emotions are known to be detri-mental to the body, especially to your cardiovascular and immune systems (心血管和免疫系统), and having an optimistic nature seems to protect against those effects.In addition, research shows that people
33、 who axe optimistic about their future behave differently. They exercise more, are less likely to smoke, and follow a better diet. And if they get sick, theyre more likely to actively participate in their treatment. Ive seen that myself-I have back pain from arthritis, but I think my willingness to
34、do whatever it takes has helped a lot.3) Not happy? Dont worry.“Happiness is a feeling; optimism is a belief that aspects of your future will turn out well. Happiness can fluctuate (波动) a lot, but an optimistic disposition (性格) is usually pretty stable. If youre not optimistic, you can try creating
35、a positive events log. Good filings happen to everyone, but pessimists often dont take notice; spending a few minutes every day writing about at least three positive things may help you expect them more often. Or instead of trying to be optimistic, do what optimists do: Work hard to reach your goals
