feelings to longer life the researchers also gathered information about peoples education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less of a chance of dying during the eight-year period some women who answered the questions were found to be hostile （怀敌意的）, or highly untrusting of others
