阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Pictures are a great way to create and keep a memory of many events that happen in our lives. Then how can a person look more beautiful in pictures? There are some factors you should take into account, one of which is your posture(姿势). In other words, you need to keep your back straight and your head up. This will help you appear thinner. Be sure to raise your chin up because this will help keep you from looking like you have a double chin. Take note that you don't leave your shoulders looking stiff but try to keep them relaxed, or else the picture won't seem natural. To look thinner and taller at the same time, put one leg slightly behind the other when standing. You'll need to put most of your weight on your back foot and keep your front knee slightly bent.

Forming a smile that is all your own can be easily done by just practising in the mirror. If you don't like your smile on pictures, then you need to teach yourself a new one. Stand in front of the mirror and try different smiles until you find one that suits you. Once you've picked out your look, you need to keep standing in front of the mirror and keep practising until your smile becomes second nature to you and you'll be able to perform it without looking in the mirror.

Professional photographers will place lights behind the area where you are to have your pictures done and they call this short lighting. By doing this, it'll create a shadowing over you that will work as an opticalillusion(错视) to make you look thinner.

If you are unsure of yourself when the picture is being taken, your lack of confidence will show through on the picture. So try to relax and just enjoy that occasion you're having and have fun. If you've taken bad pictures in the past, you're probably going to be anxious but try to calm down. After all it's just a picture which can be taken over if it doesn't come out right the first time. The more relaxed and confident you can be, the better picture you'll show.

What comes first: the optimism or the good health?

    Optimism, defined as the general expectation that the future will be favorable, could provide ways to improve health, some researchers believe. But scientists remain unsure if optimism goes ahead of health improvements, or vice versa.

    A recent study suggests that most people can't help but to think optimistically. This study was conducted by Ed O'Brien, a social psychologist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The findings suggest that people have a natural tendency to think positively about their future.

    Participants were asked to create a list of imaginary personal experiences that would make them happy or unhappy over the course of the next year. They then ranked how difficult it was to plan that list and how happy they believed they would be in the future overall. The easier it was for people to think of positive future experiences, the happier they imagined they would be. However, there was no relationship between easily developing negative future experiences and expecting to be unhappy as a result.

    O'Brien concluded that people seem to discount the possibility that future negative events will make them happy overall, suggesting that optimism might come more naturally. "We're not as used to thinking about the future in terms of things that are going to go wrong." O'Brien's study is one of many to find that people are consistently optimistic about their future, predicting pleasant experiences and discounting unpleasant ones. If optimism may lead to better health and people generally tend to think optimistically, what does this mean for the connection between mental and physical health? "If we can make sure that optimism comes before healthy states, we might be able to involve and improve people's optimism," Boehm explained. However, it's difficult to determine what comes first: the optimism or the good health.
