With the advancement of medical technology and social welfare, old age
is, to many people, no longer a problem. However, there is still something to
worry about. Psychologically, there are two danger to be guarded against in 【M1】______
old age. One of these is the undue absorption of the past. For example, people 【M2】______
sometimes regretted for the good old days or feel sad about friends who were 【M3】______
dead. These might be common. However, too much nostalgia may generate
negative impact on one's mind.
One's thoughts must be direct to the future, which will give them more 【M4】______
hope; and to things which there is something to be done. It is true that one's 【M5】______
own past is a gradual increasing weight. People believe that one's emotions 【M6】______
used to be more vivid than they are. If this is true, the memory should have been 【M7】______
forgotten. And if it is forgotten, it will not probably be true. 【M8】______
Another thing is to avoid cling to children. Of course, you can be 【M9】______
interested in them, but you need to control your emotions. After all, they are
individuals who have their own lives and emotions. Thus you can care about
them, but you cannot be duly emotional. 【M10】______
