大多数人将乐观定义为永远快乐，总觉得杯子里的水还有一半。但积极心理学家并不提倡这种虚假的快乐。“健康的乐观是与现实联系在一起的，”哈佛大学教授泰•本•萨哈说道。根据他的观点，现实的乐观主义者是去积极实现事情的圆满，而不是坐等事情自己圆满。

本•萨哈提出了乐观训练的三个阶段。当他心情低落时——比如，一个糟糕的演讲之后——他宽慰自己这是人之常情。他提醒自己不是每一次演讲都要求诺贝尔标准，有些演讲的效果就是不如其他。第二个阶段是重塑。他会分析这次失败的演讲，哪些地方可取，哪些不可取，为将来的演讲积累经验。第三个阶段是前瞻，我们要认识到在生命的宏伟蓝图中，一次演讲根本算不上什么。

The above bar chart precisely reflects the change of urban and rural population in China over the past 20 years. As is depicted in the chart, from 1990 to 2010, the urban population increased drastically, changing from 300 million to 670 million, while the rural population witnessed a moderate decrease, changing from 830 million to some 680million. What the figure conveys is thought-provoking and far-reaching.

Though the causes for the phenomenon may be very complex, there are three main factors which can account for it. The primary one is that the 21st century has witnessed the unparallel economic prosperity and social progress in China. Another factor that we shouldn’t overlook is that people’s traditional values and ethics have changed drastically. Last but not least, the build of cities also contributes to this matter, which has lured increasing number of population from the countries pour into the city.

As discussed above, it is no surprise to see this situation. And I firmly believe that this established trend will continue and due importance should continue be placed on the factors that lead to the trend in the forthcoming years.
