His doctor told him that he would become immobilized and eventually die of thedisease.Despite the diagnosis, Cousins was determined to overcome the disease and survive. He had always beeninterested in medicine and had read the work of the organic chemist Hans Selye, The Stress of Life (1956). Thisbook discusses the idea of how body chemistry and health can be damaged by emotional stress and negativeattitudes. Selye’s book made Cousins think about the possible benefits of positive attitudes and emotions. Hedecided to concentrate on positive emotions as a remedy to heal some of the symptoms of his ailment. In additionto his conventional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations that would elicit positive emotions.“Laugh therapy” became part of his treatment. He scheduled time each day for watching comedy films, readinghumorous books, and doing other activities that would bring about laughter and positive emotions. Within eightdays of starting his “laugh therapy” program, his pain began to decrease and he was able to sleep more easily. Hisbody chemistry even improved. Doctors were able to see an improvement in his condition. He was able to returnto work in a few months’ time and actually reached complete recovery after a few years.✓ 正解✕ 你選的

Not to “go away” is like notpossessing a car or a nice house. It is a marker of status in modern societies and is also thought to be necessary tohealth. 47 In Imperial Rome, for example, a fairly extensive pattern of travel for pleasure and culture existed forthe elite.In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, pilgrimages had become a widespread phenomenon practicable andsystematized, served by a growing industry of networks of charitable hospices and mass-produced indulgencehandbooks. Such pilgrimages often included a mixture of religious devotion and culture and pleasure. The GrandTour had become firmly established by the end of the seventeenth century for the sons of the aristocracy and thegentry, and by the late eighteenth century for the sons of the professional middle class. 48 There was avisualization of the travel experience, or the development of the gaze, aided and assisted by the growth ofguidebooks which promoted new ways of seeing.The eighteenth century had also seen the development of a considerable tourist infrastructure in the form ofspa towns throughout much of Europe. The whole apparatus of spa life was designed to provide a concentratedurban experience of frenetic socializing for a dispersed rural elite. 49 In the countryside work and play wereparticularly intertwined in the case of fairs. People would often travel considerable distances and the fairs alwaysinvolved a mixture of business and pleasure normally centered around the tavern. But before the nineteenthcentury few people outside the upper classes traveled anywhere to see objects for reasons unconnected with workor business. 50 Travel is now thought to occupy 40 percent of available “free time.” It is a crucial element ofmodern life to feel that travel and holidays are necessary.✕ 你選的
